How essential is this set? It's not cheap, but for 11 CDs it is tempting... Anyone have any comments for or against? Best, Kirk Author of: The Mac OS X Command...
... Dear Kirk and List, These are among the finest DFD recordings that exist. The box brings together all the live Salzburg Lieder recitals of DFD and Gerald...
... No, I had never bought any of the discs. I'll take your recommendation and order it right away. :-) Thanks! Kirk Author of: Take Control of Customizing...
Can you a recommend a good source to purchase this set??? Thanks Jay "Celia A. Sgroi" <sgroi@...> wrote: --- In Fischer-DieskauList@yahoogroups.com,...
... Dear Jay & List, I haven't looked up to now because I have long since bought all the CDs individually. A Froogle search shows a source for as low as $73.36...
Yep, wow indeed... Listened so far to the first four discs. Amazing stuff... In addition, I'm not familiar enough with Schumann and Brahms, so this is a real...
List: I have DF-D's recording of Haydn's "The Seasons", with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, on Phillips. The recording...
Mike: Thanks. Never hurts to ask. By the way, as I'm sure you already know, tomorrow in the US (December 13) DG is re-issuing DF-D's 3-volume set of Schubert ...
Richard- Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't heard an announcement about the new issue, but I suspected it, as they have recently begun appearing on eBay. Volume...
Quantity is no substitute for quality. The 21 disc DG collection of DFD singing Schubert lieder pales in comparision to recordings made during the EMI phase of...
Hi Jim, I see (or hear) things differently. To me DFD was at the peak of his voice in the late 60s and early 70s when he recorded the DG Schubert set. The...
I find myself in agreement with Charlie on this. I think that the voice stayed pretty solid through the 1960s and just into the 1970s. Certainly some ventures...
... Someone once mentioned an EMI box set, but I've not been able to find it. Was it 6 or 8 CDs? Can anyone point me to it? Thanks, Kirk Author of: How to Do...
Charlie and John: Of course, DFD's vocal decline is REALLY obvious on his late recordings for Claves Records and Bayer Records (recorded: 1986- 1991), now...
On the whole I think my favorite Fi-Di recordings are the ones he did in the sixties - the EMI Schubert sets - even the operas - show him in prime voice. Jay ...
... The only time I saw him perform live was in this period - around 1986, I think - with Holl. He was astounding. I had a great seat at the Salle Pleyel in...
... Thanks. I'm in Europe, so shipping would be very high. But at least that gives me the info to track it down here. I'll go start my search now. Gee, another...
By the time of the massive Schubert collection issued on DGG vinyl, DFD's vocal flaws that are so readily apparent in the recordings of the 80's and 90's are...

Dear Celia and List, Well.... the Adam "Cantique" was on the British DG LP version of Weihnachtslieder with DFD, but this is the first CD issue. The German LP...
List: For those who may not be aware of this box, it consists of live recordings DFD made with Gerald Moore at the Salzburg Festival from 1956 to 1965, when...
... Yes, this is the Salzburger Liederabend set I asked about a few weeks ago, got enthusiastic responses about, and promptly purchased. I second (or third, or...
On the Orfeo set: I have a box set of 5 of the recitals. I very much like the 1957 Schubert. It is equal if not better than his Schubert studio recordings....
Dear Kirk, me too! Even if I already had most part of these single CDs, I've purchased the 11-CDs set anyway. It's worth while, surely! This Orfeo set is one...
... And I have to get that 6-CD set... Unfortunately, it's as expensive as the Orfeo set was. (And I also just shelled out the cash for the Hyperion Schubert...
Dear Kirk, why don't you try at eBay? There I bought that EMI 6-CDs set. I payed 43 Euro + 11 Euro for shipping + handling charges = 54 Euro altogether. It was...
