This is in response to Message 111. I listened a few days ago to this LP, "The Art of Gerald Moore". There is one song sung by DFD, Schubert's "Auf Der...
... I just pulled it off the shelf for the first time in years, and listened to it myself. ... I would re-emphasize (as Scott said in the passage I quoted)...
Jon and list, I am delighted that you have listened to this recording, and that you have given your reaction to it and to my post. I have read it carefully,...
The Crutchfield article on Moore is in the Auguest 1987 issue of OPUS (v3/#5) -- *ahem* the issue also contains a few reviews by me! Anyway: Will C is...
Jon and list, After some searching in my memory bank, I can recall the Faure's Nell. I played it for a voice student in college. Yes, I pedalled practically...
Crutchfield and Conrad L. Osborne had a spirited and absolutely fascinating and scholarly discussion about Fischer-Diskau that ran through a few issues of OPUS...
Jay and list, Just recently I have read the Crutchfield article, but have never read the Osborne response and further discussion. There was some discussion...
Crutchfield wrote an article on Fischer-Dieskau in which he referenced some of Osborne's (negative) reviews - Osborne replied and that set off the three or...
I'm not sure there was a "fundamental disagreement." WC wrote his initial article in defense of what he had perceived (incorrectly, in my view) as an attack...
Jon and Jay and list, Thanks for the information about Crutchfield and Osborne. I thought I had the first article, but apparently not. I have the article from...
"Indicating" is a term fairly commonly used by actors and lately, in my experience, singers as well. (I certainly make use of it in my song lit classes.) Not...
Jon and list, Thanks for your additional clarification. I understand better what "indicating" means. I haven't read the articles, so I don't know what...
Mark -- This is why you have to read CLO's first reply. He goes into considerable detail about DFD's command of a kind of soft singing that remained fully...
Jon and list, Yes, I will would like to read it sometime. It certainly sounds like high praise for DFD, but he must have had some reservations about him as...
... And he did give examples, many of them. That's why no precis will do justice to it, the whole article (the whole series) is well worth reading. ... Yes;...
Jon and list, The downtown university music library has the issues. When I get a chance to go there again, I'll look it up. If anyone else is interested, the...
Before last Christmas, I wondered if DFD had ever sung "O Holy Night." In Message 103 on the list provides the information of a DFD Christmas album with this...
On the Orfeo label are the DFD Salzburg recitals of 1957-1965. But the recitals from the years 1962-1964 were not included. EMI had already recorded those...
In the year 2000, The Journal of Singing had several issues with written transcripts of a radio program called Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and the Art of Song....
at a library, I heard several songs from the CDs "Les Introuvables De Dietrich Fischer-dieskau". I wanted to hear especially the Brahms songs. I also heard...
Jon and list, I got an opportunity to read these articles in Opus magazine concerning DFD written by Crutchfield and Osborne. I photocopied the pages, because...
Hi Mark, You cans still listen to all those programs on the KBYU-Radio website archive. all you need is Windows Media Player. They are wonderful. Charlie ......
Charlie, I could not find the DFD programs on the website to listen to. But I can get the radio programs if I join their Farnsworth Society for a contribution...
Charlie, Thanks. I have that recital. I haven't listened to it for a while. I have all the Orfeo recitals from 1957-1965. I did listen to the Wolf recital a...
The Unashamed Accompanist was written by Moore before he knew DFD, and although he revised it later, he did not mention DFD in the book, except in the preface....
Thanks for the information. It looks like it is out of print. I thought each year might be sold separately, like the Orfeo CDs, but I guess not. I was...
