Fischer-Dieskau sings "Fischerweise"

Lieder by Franz Schubert
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (bariton)
and
Sviatoslav Richter (piano)
1978

[@faxingitin]

This is what KZbin used to be meant for. A treasure for sure.

[@steinway1901]

Dear Mr. Fischer-Dieskau: I hope you can read this message. You are a miracle.

[@ElaineComparone]

I beg to differ. His voice is full of expression and color, not to mention joy and deep feeling. And the level of spontaneity as well as the rapport between the two are nothing less than AWESOME!!!

[@Mapesbury100]

I am new to KZbin...what a discovery!! A whole new world of music has opened up before me...I can hardly believe it. This Fischer-Dieskau - Richter Schubert collaboration is superb.

[@philmcnichol5151]

Fischer-Dieskau is the best. But let us not overlook that wonderful accompanist. Now, what's his name? Ah, yes, the great Sviatslov Richter. I trust they are performing in paradise.

[@tangodancer1000]

hi welcome im 66 and recently introduced to this magical medium its like being a small child again in a sweet shop found the incomparable FischerDieskau today and listening past 2 hours in heaven my son has connected the Laptop to the big screen tv and its awsome seeing all my favourite leider singers.

[@lilaluftikuss1295]

This is heartwarming.

[@Teddyb1939]

Dietrich enjoying himself.a master duo at work and making it look so easy, Lovely.

[@marcocito]

Es gibt nur ein Fisher-Dieskau! Amazing. Wunderbar.

[@andrewjohnthorpe1462]

Pure heaven. Again a favourite from my listening while at school.

[@fischerpilne]

Perfect! I listen to this wonderful gem over and over and over and over again!

[@ezracheney5435]

A great Legend in German Lieders and no follower for a near century

[@singerswithpresence]

Thank you so much for sharing these gems - absolutely fabulous. They could have churned these out as a cough and a spit but I love the attention to detail and the joy they bring to this. A relatively simple song is taken to the heights by two masters, utterly in tune, with themselves, each other & the music. Doing something small but exquisitely. Simply wonderful

[@USAF3]

SO SMOOTH SO CLEAR

[@mbouman]

This is a clinic in color, nuance, resonance. He relished this song, and it sounds like he still had all his prime stuff at age 53. I think the recording really shows how varied his "touch" and color, DFD I mean!

[@vasilyec]

He passed away on May 18, 2012 in his sleep at his home in Berg, Upper Bavaria, ten days before his 87th birthday.

[@mariskajelten24]

Prachtig. Subliem uitgevoerd!

[@jean-paul7251]

My favourite voice, I wish I'd met him to tell him.

[@gbarnardoh]

Amazing! Two great performers and a great song. I can't imagine anything more beautiful.

[@12997089]

A Game Of Shadows! 'Give up your foolish trickery'. 'This fish you cannot cheat.' Marvellous

[@andrewashdown3541]

Utterly sublime

[@AnandaGarden]

Glorious. A wonderfully cheerful song, and Fischer-Dieskau sings it magnificently, both technically and in the interpretation. Profoundly beautiful.

[@wirag4680]

Two legends of the classical world in one room having a blast.

[@Maestrofriedrich1]

It´s simply fantastic!

[@gerlindemayer9645]

The best!!

[@Elainelps0421]

I love Fischer-Dieskau. Saw him perform in Philadephia in 1975. He passed away on the day my Mom passed away seven years ago :(

[@user-nt2rq7vv5i]

beautiful！

[@antoniofernandez-albalatga5731]

Prodigioso!!!!!!

[@stephenhunt2900]

As a recent comment giver writes 'two larger than life geniuses'...somehow managing to contain their strong natures for the better promotion of the song and composer. We get all the benefits from this REAL strength of character.

[@rontomcol]

It's wonderful to see how much fun DFD is having here. I'm sure Richter is too - he just doesn't show it:-) 'Dort angelt auf der Brücke die Hirtin... SCHLAUER WICHT...!' always makes me smile.

[@picassin61]

he is the greatest barytone ever!! Good exist because Fischer-Dieskau exist!!!

[@fredwanger9337]

The most delicious interpretation possible😘😘😘

[@santicalabro66]

Meraviglioso!

[@Trox77]

Bravo!

[@justicenoA]

The legend. The master. Dieskau!

[@Rosangela161]

Voice and piano! Bravo. Thanks

[@ludvicfreire1281]

This fish you cannot trick.

[@Timrath]

Dieskau is the only singer I know who is capable of and intelligent enough to sing staccato when the music requires it. All other singers seem to think that staccato only applies to instruments.

[@DavidHughes-op6zl]

I agree that the performance of both artistes is suberb. However, listen to and watch a fairly recent recording (available here on KZbin) of Roderick Williams and Riger Vignoles' presentation. It's a very different reading but somehow I feel this latter pair bring the song more vividly alive.

[@miguelokazsalgado2770]

By the time, DFD remains the best Lieder singer of the 20 th century. So much accuracy and expression,

[@eporze]

Dos gigantes,tres con Schubert !!!!!!!!!!!!.-

[@Rosangela161]

Exactamente!

[@ben.rivillon]

Simple, évident, dit, chanté et vécu, présent : sublime.

[@megansspark]

Superb!!!

[@dissilymordentroge5818]

It may be the performer who first introduces us to a repertiore for some reason becomes our reference. If so I’m sure happy my introduction to lieder came from Fischer-Dieskau and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Same effect for me from having first experienced Mahler’s ‘ Das Lied von der Erde’ with Kathleen Ferrier & Julius Patzak. How could anyone recover from that?

[@druckenschluck]

изумительно!

[@einmomolein]

Fischer-Dieskau is so charming!

[@LonEdward]

R.I.P. :-(

[@docm27]

Richter and Dieskau - not friends certainly, but a fabulous result.

[@marie-armelle458]

Le pêcheur n'est pas harcelé par les soucis Et les chagrins et les douleurs ; Il détache tôt le matin Avec l'esprit léger son bateau. La paix est tout autour de lui Dans tous les prairies et les ruisseaux, Il appelle avec son chant Le soleil doré à s'éveiller. Il chante pendant son travail Avec un cœur plein de vigueur, Son travail lui donne la force, Sa force la joie de vivre. Bientôt un grouillement multicolore Résonnera dans les profondeurs Et jaillira à travers le ciel Qui se reflète dans l'eau. Mais celui qui veut poser un filet, A besoin de bons yeux clairs, Il doit être aussi serein que les vagues Et aussi libre que les flots. Là sur le pont est en train de pêcher La bergère, petite rusée, Arrête tes tours, Tu ne duperas pas ce poisson !

[@user-nt2rq7vv5i]

素晴らしい！

The woman is best!

[@danilocerovic6952]

Cool

[@IndigoBone]

I seem to be an outlier in current times, but I really prefer Fischer-Dieskau. Current singers are fine, do a nice job with the Schubert Lieder. I know many my age prefer Bryn Terfel. I like him. But for my tastes, no one, at least no male singer, has ever quite done these as much justice as Fischer-Dieskau. Ian Bostridge, too, does a fine job with these. But, what can I say? I guess I'm a bit of a throwback.

[@ddehggial9932]

And here I thought everybody likes DFD! It's hard to "beat" him at Schubert.

[@blancheconner1584]

There are some fine singers around today but none that comes close to the interpretive, technical, intellectual, inspirational talent this man possessed. In addition, he had an incredibly gorgeous voice which he seemingly could do whatever he wished with and lastly he had such a charismatic presence when he walked out on stage( I can't explain it , I just felt it) I think many of you who have had the good fortune to hear him in person will agree. I'm not sure anyone will come along in the future with such gifts.

[@RolandKarlBryce]

Totally agree! Bryn is great but the German language ennunciation and tone subtley is less than the total genius and control of the gem of a man.

[@schubertkind]

I couldn't agree more!!! I was lucky enough to hear him at Carnegie Hall in the 70s. I remember his amazing stage presence - he had the audience eating out of his hand before he had even sung a note. At the end of that transcendental Winterreise performance, he sang 7 encores! And it was that moment that I knew I had been hit by lightning, and I became a serious musician from that one concert. I always wished I could have met him.

[@MastanehNazarian]

schubertkind what an awesome experience! Thanks for sharing.

[@4Topwood]

Yes, though it was a soprano singing, was it not? I think "Die Forelle" was sung later in the film, too.

[@trifio5242]

this fish you cannot cheat))

[@Timrath]

Thank you, this is very interesting! Do you perhaps know the title or the author of that thesis?

[@duncanrichardson2167]

The poem is by F. von Schlegel

[@blauauge2]

@mnbzxc88 oh, ich habe vieles von ihm gehört. meinung bleibt dieselbe.

[@mnbzxc88]

@blauauge2 Obviously you haven't heard enough from Dieskau :D

[@Timrath]

Does anyone know what the lyrics mean? I understand the words, of course, but I don't understand whatt the sheperdwoman does, exactly. Is shy trying to seduce the fisherman and fails? Or is he trying to seduce her? Does he succeed or fail? Or am I just projecting too much into this and she's just literally trying to catch real fish (and... fails..)

[@s4ndia227]

Lyrics?

[@duncanrichardson2167]

The fisherman is not plagued by cares, grief or sorrow. In the early morning he casts off his boat with a light heart. Round about, peace still lies over forest, meadow and stream, with his song the fisherman bids the golden sun awake. He sings at his work from a full, vigorous heart. His work gives him strength, his strength exhilarates him. Soon a bright multitude will resound in the depths, and splash through the watery heavens. But whoever wishes to set a net needs good, dear eyes, must be as cheerful as the waves, and as free as the tide. There, on the bridge, the shepherdess is fishing. Cunning wench, leave off your tricks! You won’t deceive this fish!

[@berlinzerberus]

...RICHTER;THE GREAT !

[@quidseeker]

Yo dis shit be dope......better dan rap for realz.

[@edronc2007]

Actually, it is the other way round.

[@ekonvollm]

für blauauge2! Was ist da verkopft? So locker, wie der größte Meister dieses Lied singt, wird es vermutlich nicht mehr erklingen. Bsp.: Dort angelt auf der Brücke ... Großartig natürlich auch die Begleitung durch Sjatoslaw Richter.

[@lucianasalis9216]

Per favore, traducete in italiano anche la lingua inglese! Non tutti la conoscono bene! Grazie 🙏!

[@ManuelTenore]

this must be rehearsal. DFD would never sing a Lied with his arms crossed

[@tom0554]

I don't see it as literally as doon920. Throughout the song the fisherman appears to revel in his freedom and lack of worries. I think that the reference to the shepherdess is allegorical. The last two lines "Give up your tricks - you won't deceive this fish!", are clearly aimed at her, either out loud or in thought. Whether he thinks she is genuinely "angling" for him, or it's just a bit of banter, I'm sure the fisherman is referring to himself as the "fish".

[@martinmoller5591]

Why tape this?????

[@ddehggial9932]

because it rocks!

[@jennetal.984]

He has such a schoolboy look and sound

[@blauauge2]

typisch deutsch.viel zu verkopft.wo bleibt der ausdruck über die stimme? klingt stumpf und farblos.

[@geroelze1700]

Ehrlich gesagt ich hoffe deine Meinung hat sich inzwischen geändert!

[@blauauge2]

Nicht wirklich. Mag die Art seines Singens nicht. Zudem bevorzuge ich obertonreiche Stimmen , z.B. Willi Domgraf-Fassbaender etc.

[@geroelze1700]

@@blauauge2 Eigentlich war Fischer-Dieskau doch ein lyrischer Bariton. Gefällt dir dann Hotter noch weniger? Man kann vielleicht einwenden, dass Fischer-Dieskaus Stimme zu diesem Zeitpunkt an Elastizität und Volumen eingebüßt hat! Mir gefällt z.B. seine Interpretation des Zyklus an die Ferne Geliebte sehr. In der Aufnahme kommt ja auch noch das Lied aus dem Faust über den Floh vor. Das trägt er ausgesprochen witzig vor! Er war damals noch im stimmlichen Zenit!

[@filiprank9870]

We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. Let it be known that every man is deservant of hell. But 2000 years ago God came in flesh as Jesus from Nazareth and lived a sinless life yet having all the temptations humans do. He was killed by his own people, the ones who claimed to believe in God but this had to be done because his death would become a sacrifice for all our sins. Now, whoever believes in Jesus will be saved. You must repent of your sins and be baptized and whoever comes through Jesus who is the messiah (or the Christ) of who's sacrifice was predicted milleniums ago, he who comes through him will come to God. But there is no other way to come to God but through him, because it is God who sacrificed himself for us as Jesus.
