The " Lament " of Amfortas and the scene of Kundry's attempted ensnarement of Parsifal have also been heard in concert performance. They, together with the foregoing, constitute the "big" moments in the truly remarkable score. WILHELMINA SCHRODER-DEVRIENT, 1804-1860. One of the great dramatic singers and operatic tragediennes, wiio in dramatic power, feeling and fas- cination, has never been surpassed and hardly ever equaled. She came of histrionic stock, her mother, Sophia Schroeder being a tr...agedienne, who was com- pared to the great Sarah Siddons. Her father was a baritone singer. Wilhelmina was born at Hamburg and her childhood was passed with her parents, wan- dering about Germany, playing and singing in the various towns. Her greatest fame and triumph followed her appearance in Fidelio, her conception of which, was thoroughly approved of, even by the composer, the arbitrary Beethoven. The singer was connected with the Dresden Opera for twenty years and she was on good terms with many of the famous composers, among them Wagner, in whose Rienzi, The Flying Dutchman and Tann- hauser she appeared.
