Sir, if you watch his face, and know German, during every passage he's having a thought and reacting to that thought. He's living the piece. One of my favorite moments is the subtle change going from "Stummes." and " Schweigen." where you can see his face light up with joy. So I'm inclinded to disagree by calling it a subtle interpretation.

Probably this was already mentioned by someone else, in the comments below, but even if so, it bears repeating: His name is not Dieskau. It is Fischer-Dieskau. His father's surname was Fischer. Dietrich (or Albert Dietrich) was born Fischer; the Dieskau was a later addition to the family name, which then became hyphenated. Call him Fischer-Dieskau. He deserves the extra effort.

This clip is all the more poignant now that both artists have died, Wolfgang Sawallisch today and DFD in May last year. Commentary on Sawallisch today has been kinder than it was to DFD, whose singing - and character - seemed to cop an undeserved amount of flak both before and after his death. No singer’s style can please everyone, but sneeringly sanctimonious attacks on DFD by critics such as Greg Sandow, Terry Teachout and Jan Neckers and their followers have at times been downright vicious.

I agree with radioplug. But I think that perhaps it is not Fischer-Dieskau himself but the fact that it is a male singer that mars that first entry. The soprano voice at its entrance simply grows out of the accompaniment whether piano or orchestral. Still, Fischer-Dieskau sings superbly as always

Nope. It's some 20 to 30 cents above F major. Probably due to the video. Guessing from the sound of DFD's voice (a tiny bit Mickey Mouse) and the piano (a tiny bit too shiny), it was tuned "properly" on recording and then through processing it got higher.

I'm generally a tremendous admirer of F‐D but not in this beautiful song. Neither am I impressed by the pianist on this occasion. Overall, from both artistes, a lacklustre performance. The singer mangles a word at one point and takes more breaths than I would have anticipated. By far and away the best reading of this musical gem is in my opinion that between Gerald Moore and Janet Baker. Matchless. Sublime. Utter, utter perfection. Moore lovingly caresses every bar whist Baker's phrasing and nuances totallly embrace the poet's longing, as expressed in the title. By comparison the German singer sounds like a donkey versus a thoroughbred. Given he's singing in his own language I'm taken aback at how immensely dull he sounds in this piece. He's not helped by his pianist who comes across as making heavy weather of his 'efforts'. The word that for me sums up this latter pair's rendition is 'laboured'.
@tcmunro2 жыл бұрын
Fischer-Dieskau's interpretive strength is at the fore here. He understands, as few do, that there is a painful wistfulness to this lyric, because it is a fantasy. Even if sung in the very arms of the lover, it is a fantasy of a love-soaked future too good to be true. His vocalism and Sawallish's interpretation leave much to be desired IMHO, but this is nevertheless a peerless performance.
