Hi folks, According to the "News" at Monika's website, a CD of the Paris "Edgar" with Julia Varady is being released. Does anyone know if this is a version of...
Hello, I found a review in French at http://www.altamusica.com/concerts/document.php?action=MoreDocument&DossierRef=1395&DocRef=1639#Ancre and for another one,...
Dear Monika & List, Thanks for the reviews. My French isn't good either, but I don't see any reference to whether there was a narrator. However, since this was...

Hi Charlie, A ton of works were written for or dedicated to DFD, and he premiered a great many of them. You can find a list of his important premiere on ...

Hi Monika, Thyanks for the information about the VAI CD. I have ordered a copy. Is this excerpts from the long interview with DFD at Wigmore Hall? If so, I'm...

Hello from Budapest, I am of course very stupid but is this DFD as Papageno or has he withdrawn already on this recording to the role of Sprecher? -- of course...
Dear Gaetano, it must be the same recording which was produced for Television in 1972. It was given twice, perhaps a third time in TV. It was sold as a VHS by...
Hello James, DFD is 'Sprecher'. I can't imagine him as Papageno. The Japanese HMV promised me to send the DVD within 4 weeks; I will tell you, if it's working...
Hallo Monika, Of course DFD is on record as saying he was (physically) too big for Papageno on the stage; but where would we be without his Fricsay and Boehm...
Dear James & List, I agree with Monika. Although DFD is a very entertaining Papageno in Boehm's recording with the dialog, I simply can't imagine him playing ...
Dear Celia, I remember another "impossible" role on stage for DFD: it is Verdi´s Rigoletto ! Best wishes, Werner "Celia A. Sgroi" <sgroi@...> wrote: ...
The quality of the picture is not so bad, to tell you the truth...but the image is often too dark. You know, all the videos bought from HouseofOpera are copies...
Dear Werner, Monika, Celia and list, I agree that the role of Papageno for DFD on stage doesn't fit him well. He could have been a good Beckmesser on stage...
Dear Gaetano & List, It does seem to me that it would be hard for an audience to accept DFD as a hunchbacked dwarf. I'm not sure what you can do to make...
