Hi folks, With thanks to Rudolf Peters for the information, you can find a series of portraits of Fischer-Dieskau (also of his first wife, Irmgard Poppen and...
I looked at this website last night. It takes a bit of persistance and clicking to actually see the photos. When you search "fischer-dieskau" what comes up is...
Hi- I had trouble getting the photos, thaough I did get his late wife's photol I'll revisit the website and try again. Talking of images, many years ago I was...
Dear Howard & List, What you have is most likely an exhibition catalog. They are not exactly common, but not rare either. If you look on Monika's DFD page, you...
I have one of these catalogs too. I didn't know there were so many though. Mine is from Berlin 1985 and is called "Builder aus drei Jarnzehnten". I also have...
Hi folks, Those of you who don't subscribe to Fischer-Dieskau_Forum might like to know that the entire archive of Gramophone magazine is available free online...
Hi folks, Below is a link to a photo of DFD I have never seen before. It was taken in 1976 in New York City by Gjon Mili and shows DFD and Isaac Stern...
Hi folks, On Monika's DFD website there is an excerpt from a newspaper with DFD's "top 10" achievements. Obviously, these are subjective, to say the least, but...
Hi folks, Having asked others this question, here are mine, but it is woefully inadequate to list 10 of anything by so prolific an artist. Celia 1. Schubert:...
I notice the list of DFD's 10 greatest achievements, and since I am not a fan of contemporary music, I was not overly excited about much of the list. My...
I agree with Howard, because DFD's artistic and human legacy is more than one or several "beautiful" recordings. He inspires me, and a lot of others that try...
Hi! Recently I saw a portion of a video on Schubert's Death and the Maiden where DF-D is accompanying Julia Varady in the lied. Last night, I watched again...
Dear Howard, Boris, & List, I agree with you that trying to list specific performances and recordings doesn't begin to encompass DFD's achievements, but people...
Dear Elias & List, DFD also accompanies Julia Varady in a Verdi aria she is rehearsing (not complete) in "Autumn Journey." Otherwise, I don't know of anything....
Is there also a Flop-List? Seriously, why is that only few people know some wonderful DFD's recordings of works by Reger and Pfitzner? There are such jewels...
There was a recording of songs and piano pieces by Friedrich Nietzsche released originally on Philips. On it he plays a couple of 4-hand piano pieces with...
Celia says: 10. Ullmann "Die Weise vom Leben und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke" (melodrama – no commercially available recording) But there is a...
Hi All, Many thanks to Karen for the information about DFD as pianist and the Ullmann melodrama on CD. I had forgotten about the Nietzsche completely. The...
Hi everybody I don't know, but I hope, that my answer comes to all. The pianist was Burkhard Kehring. The DG recording in 2005 comprises Enoch Arden (Strauss),...
Hi Celia, I see that Eliza has already answered your question on the pianist for the Melodramen. I would have loved it to be Aribert Reimann too. This was one...
Now how I wish he had recorded the Ode to Napoleon! I like the Schumann pieces. The Strauss is a bit much but I was curious to finally hear it. Karen ...
Hi Celia, Thanks again for mentioning the dual-language edition of Rilke's novella. I found a copy and have it on order. Published by Norton. Thank heavens...
Hi everybody, Some of you might know already that Gramophone has opened its archives and put them online, going back to 1923: http://www.gramophone.net/ You...
