Interview with Ina Lohr, 1983

Over the course of two days, the 24-25 March 1983, the Dutch radio journalist Jos Leussink interviewed Ina Lohr extensively. In these recordings Ina Lohr spends about two thirds of time discussing her understanding of the modes, interweaving this with personal recollections of her life; in the final third of the recordings she reminisces about her encounters with the composers and performers she met through Paul Sacher, thereby allowing us to experience directly the degree of her interaction with these famous personalities. What you find here are some excerpts describing her contacts with these people. The original recordings were digitalized by Jos Leussink, who also kindly gave me permission to put these excerpts online. The transcription of the Dutch was made by Albert Jan Becking, the translation into English by Jed Wentz, and the final editing done by Anne Smith.
