Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

by HansA.Neunzig (Author), KennethS.Whitton (Translator)

Synopsis

This biography provides a comprehensive account of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's extraordinary career from his debut to his farewell concert in 1992. No singer has recorded so much material with so indelible a personal stamp as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. The predominant Lieder singer of his generation, he has also had a distinguished career on the operatic stage, and first came to prominence in performances of Bach's sacred music. His versatility within the baritone solo literature is astonishing, for although his is most celebrated for his interpretations of the great Schubert Lieder, his performances both of the French repertoire and of difficult modern works have been equally acclaimed. He brings to his recitals and operatic portrayals a voice of commanding beauty, used with unique artistry.
