SOMM Recordings is proud to mark the centenary of the legendary German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (28 May 1925–18 May 2012) by adding to his canonical discography with live recital and concert recordings from the Music Preserved archive. Fischer-Dieskau was at the very height of his powers from 1960–75, and the performances on this album date from that period. A bonus CD contains two interviews conducted by Jon Tolansky—appearing here in their entirety for the first time—the 75th Birthday Interview (2000) and 80th Birthday Interview(2005).
The extraordinarily vast repertoire of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau over his 45-year career comprised lieder, operas, cantatas, and oratorios. He sang these in German, Italian, French, Russian, English, Hebrew, Hungarian, and Latin, from eras that spanned the Baroque to the latter part of the 20th century. Particularly, it was the controlled power and beauty of his voice, and the dramatic intensity and poetry of his interpretations, that led him to excel in the genre of German lieder. In this form he exerted a virtually unprecedented stylistic and interpretative influence—not only on the musical world of his day, but also on generations of performers to come.
SOMM’s centenary tribute opens with four songs by Ferruccio Busoni, all being works that were written late in the composer’s career. They come from a programme that Fischer-Dieskau gave with Gerald Moore in 1962.
