Hello Celia and List, It's been a long time since I responded here, but I must totally agree with you Celia. Mr. Hvorostovsky should stick to opera, Russian...
Dear Mr. Innes, The topic of this group is the life and career of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. It is not a general list about singing. I would appreciate it if...
Dear list: Hvorostovsky may be "Russian" but that does not mean he should not go into lieder. Alexander Kipnis ventured in German Lieder and he did well. (I...
Pardon my minority POV, but I liked DFD as Rigoletto. Mary ... go into lieder. Alexander Kipnis ventured in German Lieder and he did well. (I hope I'm not...
Dear Mary, Celia and List, I'm glad I'm not alone! I liked DFD's Rigoletto too! It was definitely a different Rigoletto but very interesting all the same. ...
Hi Marc, Your entire message didn't come through, but the answer is yes, DFD is still teaching. He teaches Lied interpretation at the HdK in Berlin, and he...
Hi folks, For anyone who hasn't seen this on the Lieder_Forum (where Margo posted it), you might want to check out what Christa Ludwigs has to say about DFD: ...
Hi folks, In order to avoid the spam we received recently, I have changed the DFD List to restricted membership. I hope this doesn't cause problems for anyone...

Hi everyone: DFD is a demi-god whose talent and character are so profoundly overflowing that a number of collaborators is needed to express his utmost passion...
Dear Celia and List, I liked the subject name of this message. If Christa Ludwig is so against performing with different pianists, why did she record ...
Hi folks, I don't know if you have had the opportunity to look at the new picture on the homepage. It is a shot from a broadcast about Aribert Reimann that I...
Dear Celia and List, I was waiting for you to say something about his pullover or sweater, the way you did when you found that picture where he was wearing ...
Dear Claude and List, Yes, that pullover is a great deal more colorful than what one usually sees DFD wearing. However, every once in a while DFD wears...
Dear Celia, Yes, you're right! But I don't think that picture counts because a. it is black and white (so his shirt could have been black and grey) and b. It...
Oh, I was delighted with this photograph! For exactly the reasons that you mention. My immediate reaction to the photo was, "Ah, there's that library again!"...
Oh, my, yes. That's quite a shirt! Even if it's black & white. AR's shirt is a bit loud also. And their hair...those sideburns... No wonder most of us want...
Hi Celia and List, I am a big admirer of Ludwig and have heard her many times in recital with various partners. I am not sure why she took a "shot" at DFD and...
Dear Celia and list: I hope you won't mind my asking: How did smoking affect the singing of DFD? Assuming that DFD didn't smoke, would his voice be more ...
Dear Mark & List, Yes, it's an interesting interview that was done around the time of the opening of the series of performances of Schubert's lieder in Koeln,...
Dear Ronnie & List, ... This is an interesting question, but I don't know if there is any way to really give an answer. One can speculate that DFD's voice...
I've often wondered about that, and though I agree with Celia that there's no way to say for sure whether and how his smoking affected his voice, my guess is...
It's also worth remembering that DFD is far from the only singer of his generation who smoked. Many did and do, especially in Europe I think (where no-smoking...
Ronnie, As a college student, I had a voice teacher who smoked cigars. He would sometimes walk to the lesson smoking. One time he walked into his teaching...
