Such incredible tone, range, and EXPRESSION, both vocal and physical! I had the great honor of seeing him perform in the 70’s. It was unforgettable!

Dieskau mit Mahler ist unübertroffen. Das ist eine einzige Einheit zwischen idealem Stimmklang, absoluter Logik der Melodieführung und der bestechenden Textdeutlichkeit. Das Orchester ist auch top.

Wunderbar, zu Herzen gehend, er ist der Beste.

Dietrich Fischer Dieskau in absoluter sängerischer Höchstform. Selten so eine gute sängerische Darstellung der Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen gehört wie diese. Mit genialer Empathie singt Dieskau diese Lieder innig sich in den Text und die Musik einfühlend und großartigen schauspielerisch gestischen Ausdruck. Bescheiden nur dem Werk des Komponisten dienend. Ein wirklich großer Künstler und Mensch.

The only thing in this world as beautiful as Dieter's singing and Mahler's music, was the purity in his eyes. In this recording he had the eyes of a child...I'm just too moved.

almost 2 years since he has passed. What a TREASURE to have found THIS! Yes, he was young. However MAHLER! My eyes, filled with mist. Ich bin zu sehr dankbar ... Ich bin sprachlos. TerminalEpistaxis.... Vielen, vielen Dank!

[@xaviersales]

Hacía mucho tiempo, mucho, que no me impresionaba tanto una música!!!!

He gave every poetic text a profound reading that was communicated through his singing. In this he had no equal.

Genius singing.....perfection in every way. A giant.

[@WCaron23001]

Always a joy to hear him, an inimitable voice of tremendous purity.

[@Fritz_Maisenbacher]

The genious of Fischer-Dieskau

[@robertmanno5749]

This would be 6 years after his 1954 recording with Furtwangler which for me is the gold standard.

Always fascinating Mahler and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Unforgettable voice. Thank you for sharing this adorable performance.

[@AHalfBaritone]

A great joy for me. I love the range of dynamics. The phrasing so musicianly.

[@mbouman]

So much more nuanced than his earlier recordings of the same work. He's 35 years old in this video and looks much younger...still has his baby fat. What a transformation in appearance between 1960 and about five years later. The voice, too, sounds so youthful here. Exquisite!

[@bravaLiz]

i DO believe he "began" to reach his "prime" approximately 5 or so yrs after this. But. oh. MY. WHAT a find. I do SO LOVE this. I do so miss Albert. dfd....the greatest in terms of technique and artistic expression. I have never heard him do this Mahler. I am in ecstasy!

[@stefaniapartini5825]

La voce di Dietrich Fischer Diskau è magnifica. E magnifica e insuperata questa interpretazione dei Lieder, autentico banco di prova anche per i cantanti più importanti...

[@CLilleyArtist]

[@bravaLiz]
