Hermann Jadlowker

Herman (Hermann) Jadlowker (17 July 1877, in Riga – 13 May 1953, in Tel Aviv) was a leading Latvian-born dramatic tenor of Russian (later Israeli) nationality who enjoyed an important international career during the first quarter of the 20th century.

His virtuoso recordings of arias from Idomeneo and The Barber of Seville, among others, are considered by some to be classics of the gramophone, although reviews of his operatic performances, especially during his brief tenure in New York with the Metropolitan Opera, were decidedly mixed. At the Met he was chosen to create the tenor role in Versiegelt, a one-act opera by Leo Blech, in January 1912. He also created the role of the Königssohn in the 1910 premiere of Königskinder by Engelbert Humperdinck.
