Martin Kettle's pick of the great baritone's recorded output 1. Schutz arias Reissued from 1950s in 2009, these are compelling recordings of what was then quite obscure repertoire. The young Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's voice is in glorious condition. 2. Bach Ich habe genug Conducted here by Karl Ristenpart, Bach's cantata on death is one of Fischer-Dieskau's classic recordings of a composer in whose music he excelled. 3. Wagner Tristan und Isolde The young Fischer-Dieskau as Kurwenal on the classic 1950s Furtwängler (the singer's favourite conductor) recording. Fischer-Dieskau's early Wagner recordings are all outstanding. 4 ...

The tenor pays tribute to the legendary baritone, who died on Friday aged 86 Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau was a titanic figure and a mirror of his age. Hearing of his death today at the age of 86 it was the singing I thought of, of course, and the little of it I managed to hear live. Recitals on the Southbank in the 80s – a Meeresstille (Becalmed at Sea) of Schubert, so whispered that every member of the audience leant imperceptibly forward to catch the thread of sound he so miraculously spun. The most terrifying Erlkönig I have ever heard or, indeed ...

The great German baritone has died at the age of 86. Watch these six examples of his performing, and tell us your thoughts Schubert's An die Musik Though he's slightly more formal in the television studio, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau had one of the most relaxed platform manners I have ever witnessed, perfectly putting the audience at their collective ease. The German Lieder repertory was his natural territory and Gerald Moore ("the unashamed accompanist") one of his most notable equal partners. Moore wrote of him: "His freedom and elasticity are not only influenced by the words he is singing but ...

What is going on this year? BBC News : The respected German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau has died, aged 86. Once described as “the most influential singer of the 20th Century”, he was famed for his performances of “Winter’s Journey (Winterreise)” by Schubert. Born in Berlin in May 1925, he emerged as a performer after World War II and was swiftly recognised as one of his generation’s finest lyrical vocalists. Benjamin Britten personally asked him to perform in the first performance of his War Requiem in May 1962. Fischer-Dieskau was most famous for his interpretations of lieder – German art songs ...

1888: Gabriel Fauré - "Agnus Dei" by J Monk on 05-17-2012 Fauré wasn’t a composer I’d heard much about before I discovered “Agnus Dei” (lamb of God) from his Requiem . I was impressed by the stately procession of mini-movements within the piece; the unexpected transitions in mood and the way the melody twists through major and minor crescendos, making the choir of singers appear to be on a perilous journey with a major key resolution just out of reach. The more famous movements are the “In Paridisum” and “Pie Jesu,” but the “Agnus Dei” is the one that harnesses ...
