Celebrating the 100th POST of An die Musik, I'm happy to offer you this wonderful collection of recordings, an EMI special edition of early recordings of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, the greatest Lieder singer of 20th century, and a specially great interpreter of Schubert. I prepared this post very carefully, and I hope you enjoy it. Tank you very much for all visits, comments, sugestions, downloads and orderings! Stay in touch! Hugs! [Erlen]
As a lieder singer, conductor and author, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau has worked intensively with Franz Schubert’s oeuvre and is largely responsible for the new and more congenial appreciation of the composer we have today. Fischer-Dieskau regards Schubert as something of a “central sun” among composers. In a conversation, he once said that Wagner, whose music cries out for attention, actually came too early; otherwise, Schubert would have had a much more profound influence on the 19th century.
It was Chiefly through his singing that Fischer-Dieskau debunked the myth of the more or less divinely inspired Schubert, into whose lap melodies simply fell… In this respect, the singer preceded instrumentalists such as Alfred Brendel and Sviatoslav Richter, who tore away the veil of convention from traditional Schubert interpretation. Fischer-Dieskau’s singing shed a new light on Schubert, revealing a man who was very much aware of what he was doing, even if “a God” or his genius had granted him the ability “to say how much I suffer”. Schubert’s lieder took a new credibility. Everyone who heard the young war veteran in Berlin
This was the predominant impression he made throughout his entire career as a singer: that he was singing as if the lied were being created at that very moment and, perhaps more importantly, as if he were singing his own, personal song. The ability to identify with one’s interpretation – in addition to talent and, obviously, a perfect technique – is one of the essential components of this art. Fischer-Dieskau would never tire of saying to his pupils: “You must become the one who’s singing.” …
