Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau ist 22 Jahre alt, als er seine erste Winterreise aufnimmt. 1947 ist das beim RIAS in Berlin und schon da ist klar, dass ein Jahrhundertsänger die Bühne betre-ten hat: Eine von Beginn an unverwechselbare Stimme. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau war zwei-fellos auch einer der bedeutendsten Opern- und Konzertsänger des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der Bariton Benjamin Appl war sein letzter Schüler: Der einstige Regensburger Domspatz hat bis zu dessen Tod 2012 bei Fischer-Dieskau studiert und ist inzwischen selbst einer der gefrag-testen Lied- und Opernsänger. Zum 100. Geburtstag erzählt er über die erste persönliche Begegnung mit Fischer-Dieskau und seine Hommage an ihn.

Vor 100 Jahren wurde Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau geboren. Der Jahrhundert-Sänger kam am 28. Mai 1925 als jüngster von drei Söhnen in Berlin zur Welt. Sein musikalisches Talent wurde früh erkannt, und so erhielt er zunächst Klavierunterricht und bis 1942 Gesangsunterricht. (Wdh. von 2005)

Zum 100. Geburtstag des großen Baritons hat Appl für sein neues Album Lieder ausgewählt, die die Lebensstationen von Fischer-Dieskau nachzeichnen.

Wer vom Liedgesang spricht, kommt um den 1925 in Berlin geborenen Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau nicht herum. Allein Schuberts "Winterreise" hat er sieben Mal im Plattenstudio aufgenommen! Sein künstlerisches Erbe füllt hunderte CDs. Zum 100. Geburtstag erscheinen umfangreiche Editionen. Als Opernsänger triumphierte der Künstler vor allem in seinen Stammhäusern, München und Berlin, während das Wiener Publikum stets reserviert blieb. Im Podcast zeichnet Wilhelm Sinkovicz ein Portrait Fischer-Dieskaus und würdigt seine singuläre Stellung als Interpret der großen Lied-Komponisten von Schubert bis Hugo Wolf, aber auch sein Engagement für die zeitgenössische Musik, für die er Bahnbrechendes geleistet hat.

The German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's 100th birthday falls on May 28. One of the most versatile singers of the last century – his operatic repertoire alone ranged from Gluck, Handel and Mozart via Verdi, Wagner and Richard Strauss to Berg, Busoni and Reimann – it's his devotion to song that remains his lasting legacy. To mark the anniversary of Fischer-Dieskau's birth, Gramophone's James Jolly spoke to song specialist and author of Schubert: The Complete Song Texts (Schirmer: 1988), Richard Wigmore. They focused on Fischer-Dieskau's audio recordings of Schubert's greatest song-cycle Winterreise (1828) which include three with Gerald Moore, as well as versions with Klaus Billing, Hermann Reuter, Daniel Barenboim, Jörg Demus, Alfred Brendel, Murray Perahia and Maurizio Pollini.

Als Liedsänger ist er bis heute unübertroffen: Über eintausend Lieder hatte Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in seinem Repertoire – und das in einer vollendeten Einheit von Text und Musik. Hinzu kamen nahezu alle bedeutenden Opernpartien für sein Fach. Mehr als 40 Jahre währte die künstlerische Laufbahn des Jahrhundertsängers. Am 28. Mai feiert die Musikwelt den 100. Geburtstag des Ausnahmekünstlers.

Op 18 mei 1909 overleed componist Isaac Albeniz en op 18 mei 2012 overleed zanger Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, dus daar staan we vanavond bij stil met muziek en hommages.

In Episode 37 of The Classical Circuit, host Ella Lee talks to German baritone Benjamin Appl about collaborating with György Kurtág, and honouring his friend and mentor Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in his centenary year. He also discusses the vulnerability that comes with putting deeply personal projects out into the world, the future of art song, and having less chances to fail once out of 'rising star' territory.-------------------Benjamin's links:Lines of Life: Schubert and KurtágFor Dieter: The Past and FutureWebsiteFacebookInstagram-------------------Follow The Classical Circuit on InstagramDid you enjoy this episode?

Tutto nel Mondo è Burla Stasera all' Opera - Dietrich Fischer Dieskau

The baritone Benjamin Appl has recorded an album for Alpha that combines the music of György Kurtág with that of Franz Schubert. 'Lines of Life: Schubert & Kurtág' is the result of a long process that started with Kurtág choosing the singer for this unique project and working with him on the music, and finally producing the recording - and even playing the piano for Appl in two songs that close the programme. James Jolly met up with Benjamin Appl – a former Gramophone Young Artist of the Year – to talk about the album, but also about another recording that's on the horizon, his tribute to his teacher, and one of the great Lieder singers of the post-war period, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, the 100th anniversary of whose birth falls in May. This Gramophone Podcast is given in association with Wigmore Hall

Pianist Claar ter Horst is a renowned expert on German Lieder, with a special focus on the music of Robert Schumann and Hugo Wolf. Her impressive career includes collaborations with legendary German singers like Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Who better to delve into the rich tradition of German Lieder than Claar ter Horst?In Part 1, we explore what sets the German singing tradition apart from those of other countries, using France as a point of comparison. Claar shares her experiences working with Fischer-Dieskau and Schwarzkopf, discussing their unique perspectives on music, singing, and their work ethic. She highlights both the similarities and differences between these iconic artists, offering insights into what it was like to collaborate with them. We also dive into Claar's deep passion for the songs of Robert Schumann, a composer whose work she holds dear. Finally, we unpack a profound quote from Claar's website: “In my view, the creative process is essential: working diligently, refining like a diamond, achieving freedom like a bird, listening with all your senses, and, above all, being amazed like a child.”[For Subscribers] Part 2 opens with a fascinating family anecdote: Claar's grandfather attended the premiere of Mahler's 5th Symphony, where conductor Willem Mengelberg asked him to delay the train to allow the Concertgebouw Orchestra to play an encore. What a remarkable family legacy! We then continue our discussion on teaching and learning, with Claar emphasizing her belief that dedication and hard work can help students overcome any lack of innate talent or instinct for phrasing.Would you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?

A week ago the extraordinary Hungarian-German soprano Julia Varady turned 82. As she is one of my favorite sopranos, I have presented her a few times on the podcast, but never on an episode devoted exclusively to her. There is no time like the present to rectify that situation. Varady had an exceptional and unusual career, centered mostly in Europe, where she was celebrated first as a Mozart soprano, later for her fearless portrayals of the full range of Verdi heroines. Elsewhere in the world, primarily because of her recordings, she was considered mostly a Strauss singer, who also dipped her toe into some of the Wagner jugendlich dramatisch heroines. As today's traversal proves, she was all that, but also much more: a singer with a gutsy dramatic instinct and a technique that allowed her to take on roles that might have been a few sizes too large for her vocally, but which she portrayed with vigor and fearlessness such as have been matched by only a few of the very greatest sopranos. It is also my objective in this episode to consider her accomplishment independently from that of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, her husband from 1977 until his death in 2012, regarded by many as one of the most significant baritones of the last century. But my (perhaps idiosyncratic) view is that, particularly because of their very different artistic personalities, her achievements, especially on the operatic stage, outrank his. See if you agree with me. We also hear contributions from tenors Siegfried Jerusalem and Franco Tagliavini, soprano Arta Florescu (Varady's teacher), and baritone Raimund Grumbach, along with pianists Elena Bashkirova and Aribert Reimann (whose compositional masterpiece Lear is also sampled), and conductors Wolfgang Sawallisch, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Algis Zhuraitis, Jesús López-Cobos, Neville Marriner, Herbert von Karajan, Francesco Molinari-Pradelli, and István Kertész. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Synopsis On today's date in 1962, Benjamin Britten's “War Requiem” for soprano, tenor, baritone, chorus, and orchestra, had its premiere performance at Coventry Cathedral in England. The Cathedral had been virtually destroyed in World War II bombing, and Britten's big choral work was commissioned to celebrate its restoration and reconsecration. Britten was a committed pacifist, and his “War Requiem” text combines poems by Wilfred Owen, who had been killed in the First World War, with the traditional Latin text of the Mass for the Dead. For the premiere, Britten requested soloists representing nations who had fought during the Second World War. With Britten's life-time partner, tenor Peter Pears, representing England, the plan was to have a German baritone, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and a Russian soprano, Galina Vishnevskaya, for the 1962 premiere. As a young man, Fischer-Dieskau had been drafted into the German army, and had been a prisoner of war, but was eager to participate. Unfortunately, the Soviet authorities wouldn't issue a visa for soprano Vishnevskaya to sing in the new Britten piece. “How can you, a Soviet woman, stand next to a German and an Englishman and perform such a political work,” they told her. The British soprano Heather Harper substituted for her. For many, Britten's “War Requiem” is his masterpiece, and shortly after its premiere, Britten wrote to his sister, “The idea did come off, I think... I hope it will make people think a bit.” Music Played in Today's Program Benjamin Britten (1913 - 1976) — War Requiem (soloists; choirs; BBC Scottish Symphony; Martyn Brabbins, cond.) Naxos 8.553558

Auch wenn sein manchmal manierierter Stil Kritik etwas aus der Zeit gefallen scheint: Kaum ein Sänger hat so viel Bewunderung auf sich gezogen wie Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Der lyrische Bariton gilt als Jahrhundertsänger, der zum Beispiel Schuberts Lieder mit Gesang zum Leben erweckt hat. Autor: Thomas Mau Von Thomas Mau.
