	Hello FiDi-Listers, Thank you for subscribing to Fischer-DieskauList. I'm just learning this Listowner stuff so I hope you'll have patience with me until we...

	Celia suggests introductory posts and I think this is a good idea to start things. So here is my introductory post. My name is Robert Peters. I am a...

	Well, let's then start with Roberts or Bobs or Bobolinks. My name is Bob Rideout, and most of you know me as a feisty bird. However, Celia is among my best...

	Hi FiDi-Listers, I have been scanning Monika Wolf's incredible DFD discography to try to discover what constitutes Fischer-Dieskau's first commercial...

	<<the DG Fischer-Dieskau Edition gives so little information about the dates and circumstances of the recordings they included. Well, it gives...

	Dear FiDi-Listers, I am sending this message again because the number of subscribers has doubled since yesterday. I will probably repeat it periodically for...

	Great to be here. I may not be the biggest DFD fan in the world, but the thought of a forum without a certain, er, element was too hard to resist. ... ...

	Hello FiDi-Listers, I have made two alterations to the Options on the List. First, I have made the archives open to the public. I did this mainly because I...

	The personal introductions seem to be happening as replies to Celia's welcome, so here's mine. ... I'm Jon. ... I live in Delaware, the second-smallest state...
13		Celia A. Sgroi sgroi@...	Dec 12, 2000 9:19 pm
	... Otto Klemperer looked like Boris Karloff??? Well, I guess he did, kind of. But it seems inconceivable to me that anyone would spread such a rumor. It is SO...
14		Celia A. Sgroi sgroi@...	Dec 12, 2000 9:24 pm
	... True. That has become more common in recent years and is very useful information. It's really frustrating when you get a historical release ... Yes, that's...

	Celia proposes two interesting questions (for which I naturally have some ... I think that many of us might draw the line for a similar reason, but ...
17		Celia A. Sgroi sgroi@...	Dec 13, 2000 4:00 pm
	... Yes, I agree. The problem with Fischer-Dieskau is that the very characteristics that make him so great are the ones that eventually drive him over the...
18		robertpeters@...	Dec 13, 2000 6:44 pm
	... It is sheer speculation but I think there are two reasons. The one is: DFD is not the world-champion in being objective about his limits (and why should...

	Hi FiDi-Listers, The following is a review of DFD's second book of memoirs, ZEIT EINES LEBENS, which recently appeared in FAZ. Sorry it's German only, but I ...
