The principal focus of the group is to discuss the life and work of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Postings on any aspect of Fischer-Dieskau's life, career, and recordings are welcome. Discussion of related topics is also permitted, as long as there is some connection to Fischer-Dieskau, e.g. singers who influenced him, social/historical background, lieder-singing traditions, etc. Messages in English and German are welcome. I will translate messages at the request of either the writer or subscribers.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (1987, from Maggy Trauch's collection))
I quite agree, Celia: DFD is not so much "THE" painter or "THE", as "THE" singer, "THE" baritone, "THE" Lieder singer... That's simply my viewpoint, of course
... Dear Howard & List, I really can't agree with you. Fischer-Dieskau has published a lot, but his writing is not particularly good. I undertook to translate
It's a wonderful collection with several I had never seen before. I love the one you put on the homepage, Celia. Karen _http://www.youtube.com/FiDiTanzer528_
