Hi folks, A friend of mine who's not on the List is looking for opinions on the two big Brahms collections that DFD recorded. The earlier one (EMI) has Gerald...
Hi Celia, For my money the EMI box is much better. The DG box was recorded in the late 70s, I believe, and there is a distinct falling off in the quality of...
I have been exploring the website with the calendar of recitals of DFD from 1947-1992. Some of you are surely aware of it, but for those that are not, here it...
Dear Mark, the calendar of recitals of DFD from 1947-1992 was constructed by Ute Behrendt, who is a member of DFD-Forum (in German language. As far as I...
Gaetano, Thanks. I am not a member of the German list (I am not fluent in German), and I probably miss out on some interesting information. I would like to...
Liebe Celia! Bist Du bitte so lieb und übersetzt für Mark und andere Mitglieder Deiner List das Vorwort zu Utes Kalendarium. Vielleicht (hoffentlich!!!)...
Liebe Celia, wenn Du schon so lieb bist, Maggys Text zu übersetzen, schreibe bitte auch dazu, daß Maggy die hauptsächliche Arbeit bei dem ganzen Kalendarium...
I have some more questions about the DFD's recital calendar. I have been reading Monika Wolf's excellent webpage of DFD's biography, with a year-by-year...
I have just found out that Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau did indeed sing a recital in St. Paul, Minnesota in the year 1955. I got the information from the Schubert...
Dear Mark & List, Thanks so much for the interesting information about DFD's 1955 concert in St. Paul, MN. I'm pretty sure he also sang a recital in Ann Arbor,...
I have more information about this recital. The Schubert Club was extraordinarily gracious, and quickly emailed me 4 images concerning this recital. It looks...
I have now posted the four pages of this recital in the Photos section on the list. The quality of the print is good and can be read. I was mistaken about the...
Thanks for those pictures, Mark! At about the same period, possibly the same tour, DFD performed at Hunter College in New York. A while back someone was...
Dear Mark, thank you very much for your trouble with the Schubert Club. I am very delighted about the informations you find out. Please tell us the further...
I have just received in the mail an envelope from the Schubert Club in St. Paul, containing more information about the DFD recital on April, 19, 1955. I...
Dear Mark, It's wonderful that you find so a precious material at the Schubert Club in St. Paul. I think it's not easy to find out if DFD's U.S. debut was in...
Gaetano, I am certain that DFD's U.S. debut was in Cincinnati. I have a photocopy of a review of the concerts in the Musical America magazine, and there is a...
I think the best explanation for the Cincinnati/St. Paul debut is that Cincinnati was a concert, and St. Paul was a recital. There is a difference between a...
Dear Mark, I think now you removed all doubts: it's clear that the reason for the Cincinnati/St. Paul "début-dispute" lies in the difference between the terms...
Dear Celia and List: It is a fact that DFD has the enormous amount of talent and passion for singing. I was just wondering how he was in terms of discipline....
Ute and Gaetano and list, The Schubert Club in St. Paul has graciously scanned and emailed to me a photo and review of the 1955 St. Paul recital. I have...
I phoned the Cincinnati Symphony to make sure that the review of DFD's debut was accurate. Someone working in their library quickly found the program, looked...
Dear Ronnie and list, yes, DFD has an enormous amount of self-discipline. He was suffering from diabetes very early and had to arange himself accordingly with...
Charlie, In the Photos section on the list, there is a photo of Irmel, which is Photo 9. I could not find any other photos of her. To me, there is a ...
Dear Peter and list, If I remember correctly, you are a brain specialist, who has interviewed DFD, and you asked him if he had paid a price for his gift. On...
Dear Mark, many thanks for your willingness in posting the photo in the Photos section of the List and, indirectly, thanks also to The Schubert Club in St....
Dear Mark, I agree with you that the woman in the photo must be DFD's first wife. After all, I believe the caption in the photo is a sufficient element to...
Mark, I posted some other photos of Irmel! Maggy ... From: "markhedm" <Markhedm@...> To: <Fischer-DieskauList@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 14,...
