... In one sense, this seems ridiculous to me, though I've seen other statements by modern singers in the same vein ("35 is the age when it all happens for a...
... Greetings The foregoing is starting to sound like non-singers talking about singing. I have been blessed (cursed maybe) with a very heavy weight voice....
... Actually, in the Moore book DFD says he won't sing Sachs until he is forty. Later he pushed it back to fifty. Maybe he really thought he would sing it...
I've enjoyed reading the posts on this thread, and am glad to be corrected and enlightened by those who know more than I do on this subject. It's good to know...

Hi all, Although we generally agree that DFD's voice was in serious decline after 1980, that doesn't mean that there aren't some post-1980 recordings out there...
Hi Celia and list, I have to say that I certainly agree with all of Celia's choices here, especially the Brahms of which I am very fond. Among my other...
I haven't heard the Brahms or Pfitzner, but I have the 1983 Schoenberg/Berg songs and do like that CD, though I still prefer the earlier LP "Lieder der neueren...
Dear List, I'm planning a week-long visit to Berlin, possibly in October, more probably in November. The interests of the list seem to represent my own quite...

Hi Mark, Yes, I've heard these, though I haven't listened to them in a while. My recollection is that the voice seemed very dark compared to the later DFD, and...
