Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (1925 - 2012) was a German singer (Bariton), conductor, artist, writer und reciter. Fischer-Dieskau is considered as one of the most important Lied- und Operasingers of the 20th century. With over 400 records he is probably the singer with the highest amount of published recordings of his interpretations.

One of my very favorite singers of all times. Not a huge voice that knocks you through the wall, but a warm voice that surrounds you.

One of the most beautiful tones in his rich voice...powerfully expressive with great sensitivity.

Ik heb vanaf Dieskou bekent raakte altijd ontzettend van hem genoten.Zijn stembeheersing is fantastisch met een meesterlijk legato en een bijna onhoorbare overgang van borst naar kopstem.Ik verbaas me ook altijd over de hoogte die zijn stem bereikt.Ik vind het een zanger die zijn stempel gedrukt heeft op vele generaties.Een aparte school: Dietrich Fischer Dieskou. Ik herleid vooral mannelijke zangers áltijd terug naar interpretaties van D.F. Dieskou.Ik ken ( nog ) niemand die boven hem uitstijgt. Matthias Goerne, hoewel een fantastische zanger, haalt ( volgens mij ) het niveau van Dieskau niet maar de verschillen zijn klein. C.K

[@nessundorma44]

Franz Schubert und Dietrich Fischer - Dieskau haben eine Gemeisamkeit: Beide sind die" MountEverest" ihrer jeweiligen Kunst! Alles führt zu ihnen hin und Alles führt von ihnen weg! Marc Chagall sagte einmal: " Mozart und Beethoven waren wahrlich Genies, doch Schubert ist ein Wunder"! Ähnliches könnte man sicher auch über D.F.D innerhalb seines Kollegenkreises sagen !

[@helensilver1381]

Perfektion wird selten erreicht, obwohl sie angestrebt wird. Mit Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau und Karl Richter und vielleicht ein paar anderen kommen wir der Perfektion so nahe wie möglich.

[@0ichigan06]

Ich finde Loewe nicht beser als Schubert, aber wenn Schubert der "Mount Everest" ist, so ist Loewe doch mindestens 8500m hoch.

[@0ichigan06]

@@helensilver1381 Fischer-Dieskau ist ein toller Liedsänger, aber in der Oper hat er nichts verloren, deswegen ist er auch nicht perfekt.

[@franziskakre8309]

@@0ichigan06 Es kam auf die Oper an. Er war durchaus ein guter Graf im Figaro und Don Alfonso in Cosi fan tutte, auch ein guter Gunter. Als Wotan und Hans Sachs war er eine Fehlbesetzung und vom italienischen Fach ließ er weitgehend die Finger. Kein Sänger ist gut in allem. Die große Callas war gut im italienischen Fach aber ich bezweifle, daß sie Lieder oder Bach hätte singen können.

[@0ichigan06]

[@tomgeydan]

As is the case with (master) classes, this is, to a large extent, repetition of the same phrases. Of course, there is much more to it; but it would be quite a task to translate the dialogues between master and student(s). However, the few songs that are sung here, are all available via Google in the original, and in translation. Some of the longer elucidations by DFD, furthermore, but also the comments by his students (all of whom, by the way, are, as is evident, themselves excellent, accomplished singers) would require quite time-consuming and demanding work! It would fill many pages!

[@marliesrabisch784]

​@@aidaveradas war das erste Lied, aber es war die Frage nach dem Klavierstück davor gemeint.

[@gauriblomeyer1835]

The final words are true. What is the future of our music ? Bernstein had asked this question. The answer implies the question what does music to our inner self, our inmost feelings? And another (forbidden) question: What. Is the origin of our and other music? Has any of our great musicians raised these questions? There was once a remark by August Everding when he said that Mozart had copied his music forma heaven. In India everybody, interested in Indian music, knows that there is a world of music, created by our Mahashakti ( the Divine Mother). And ver y few of us , the componerse, are getting a key to this world before or when born. Later their intuition uses this key and what they hear there they copy and writ down for us.

No decent organization needs singers with such a voice. The singing culture of these people is close to zero. For some reason, all German singers sing in a very deep voice, and each note sung is placed in a new place. Everyone sings on the exhale. This is a sign of unprofessionalism.

[@siegfriedhorner4436]

When you've demonstrated the experience and accomplishments of a Fischer-Dieskau, or some of his very few peers, your opinion MIGHT have some merit. German singers singing Schubert, etc., Of course they have a "singing culture". Perhaps you could tell us about a "decent organization" which would reject "such a voice". Maybe one you've sung with ? NO ONE has more credibility, authority, or experience regarding the performance of Lieder than Fischer-Dieskau.

Un cantante mitizzato...non era la Callas dei baritoni...cantava tutto "uguale"..una vocina nasale e con lo stesso identico colore..che fosse Mozart o Verdi..(povero Verdi)..assai sopravalutato...un canto lezioso scambiato per grande interpretazione.
