Carl Nebe (singer, 1868)

Carl Nebe (* 1868 in Colmar ; † unknown) was a German opera, concert and entertainment singer with a bass voice .

He was engaged in Colmar, Metz, Düsseldorf and Kassel. In contrast to his somewhat older namesake, the court opera singer Carl Nebe (1858–1908), he mainly appeared as a concert singer and also sang numerous records.

Around 1908 he founded the Nebe Quartet with August Bockmann (tenor), Max Kuttner (tenor) and Reinhold Niemeier (baritone) . He also recorded folk songs with Robert Koppel , Max Kuttner , Emil Justitz and Max Steidl, some of which have been preserved on phonograph cylinders and shellac records from the Deutsche Grammophon and Odeon labels. At times there was a Browier-Hamann-Nebe Quartet and the Wilde Rose Quartet .

He also used the pseudonym Karl Rapp on Zonophon and the pseudonym Karl Hoffmann on some Edison cylinders.
