Hi folks, On one of the music newsgroups someone described DFD's interpretations as "neurotic hyper-expressiveness" without necessarily characterizing that as...
Well, Johannes wasn't neurotic when he wrote Op. 32, although he probably was in love with and definitely also was clear about the hopelessness of being in...
Dear Emily & List, ... It seems to me that DFD never had many compunctions about transposing songs to suit his vocal range . . . . ... I agree, but it just...

Dear List, I recently bought the "Classic Archive" DVD featuring Teresa Berganza and containing some bonus material, including a video of DFD singing...
I suppose one has to login to Deutsche Yahoo, with whatever anti-privacy provisions they have, in order to see these pix? Or will the US Yahoo work for them? ...
Hi Emily, You already have a Yahoo account, so that's no problem. However, if you're not a member of Fischer-Dieskau_Forum, you have to join, which is not hard...

Not that I'm endorsing it as a nickname, but somewhere in his memoirs DFD mentions a concert in which the orchestra was too loud in relation to his singing,...
Can't imagine calling him "fish". Goodness, have you no respect! As for what to call the list I think what we've got now is fine, except I would have...
Dear Jim & List, I'll be darned if I am going to call this list by a name that I know DFD would find offensive. Apparently he doesn't mind FiDi, but "the fish"...
