The great German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is greatly admired for his interpretive insight, note-perfect control of the tonal qualities, and shadings of color in his voice, for exceptional rhythmic sense and impeccable diction. His reputation as a lieder singer is so high -- he had a repertoire of more than 3.000 songs -- that it is easy to forget his extensive list of operatic roles. In this conversation Fischer-Dieskau reveals for the last time on camera the secrets of his outstanding career. His "Last Words" provide a deep insight into the extraordinary artistic life of one of the most famous and prolific lieder singer of our time. Fischer-Dieskau died in May 2012 at the age of 86.

Katsumi I know! But „Meistersinger“ is a very nice allusion to Richard Wagner‘s opera, where Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau sang Hans Sachs. So, in a double sense, he was a „Meistersinger“ as well as a Meister-„sänger“.

Born in Berlin in 1925, received formal training in singing as a teenager, his handicapped brother was forcibly removed from the family home and starved to death in a Nazi institution; he himself was drafted into the Wehrmacht in 1943 ... Dietrich's life was an extraordinary one, and no singer in in our time has his versatility. The DVD of his Winterreise is a benchmark that will stand for all time. No wonder Schwarzkopf called him a god.

Its interesting to hearing him talk after having listened so long to him singing. The power of his voice captured that beautiful germanic strength in their music, none do Schubert like him. The world is poorer for his loss. Also he looked a lot like Tim Robins in his youth, just something I found interesting.

The point being that a personal library provides a convenient reference to all the things one cares about.

Ich habe wirklich nicht die geringste Ahnung, warum hier so über ihn gewettert wird, weil er die Stimme seiner Mutter humoristisch durch den Kakao gezogen hat um eine kleine Anekdote zu geben. Wir leben hier nicht mehr 19. Jahrhundert und die Aussage war auch nicht respektlos. Aber Antipathie schafft eben auch immer grundlose Kritik. Ein begnadeter Bariton, ohne Frage. Vergleiche sind in dieser Materie sowieso immer subjektiv.

Nachdem ich den wunderbaren Kommentar von seinem jüngsten Sohn hierzu las, sehe ich das auch anders. Manuel Fischer-Dieskau schrieb einen so einmaligen Kommetar vor 10 Monaten, dass ich meine Kommentare diesbezüglich löschte. Des Weiteren sind auch schon von Anderen Kommentare dieser Art gelöscht worden. Deshalb bin ich kein Fan von ihm, aber ich sehe ein, dass ich Dietrich Fischer- Dieskau da Unrecht tat. Sein Sohn schrieb auch, dass er seine Mutter sehr geliebt hat und immer bei ihr war. D.F.D hatte sich etwas ungeschickt ausgedrückt, so, dass es Einige, wie auch ich, es in dem falschen Hals bekamen. Vielleicht können Sie seine Aussage mal lesen. Er schrieb zwar unter einem anderen Kanalnahmen, aber schrieb, dass er der Sohn ist und schrieb am Schluß seinen vollen Namen. Was ich erst seit kurzen weiß, starb seine Mutter bei seiner Geburt 1963. Und das kurz vor Weihnachten.

@hansmahr8627 4 жыл бұрын

19 Herbert 85 Ich kann zwar nicht nachvollziehen, wie man sich über Fischer-Dieskaus Aussage bezüglich der Gesangsqualität seiner Mutter, die mir doch im Ton eher gutmütig-scherzhaft als bösartig-herablassend vorkommt, ärgern kann, aber es spricht ja doch für Sie, dass Sie Ihre Meinung geändert haben. Das ist ja eher selten anzutreffen, vor allem im Netz, wo die meisten vielmehr dazu neigen, sich auch auf die haarsträubendsten Behauptungen stur zu versteifen, selbst wenn man weiß, dass man Unrecht hat. Das wollte ich nur mal kurz würdigen.

I too was surprised also at first by F-D's "nasty" critique of his mother's singing. Certainly it was not kind. But I think his purpose was at least bi-fold: First, to show that he did not inherit his beautiful voice from his genes. Secondly, perhaps to show that already sensitive & to music at that early age, his ears hurt a bit to hear her "vain attempts" to sing well, & incited him, as he says, "to do better". It always comes back to him, since he & his roots are the subject of the interview. He was humble enough to say that "once a voice was there..." , not pretending he'd been singing from the cradle, something that does exist! There are babies, 6 months old, who hum music & in tune. PS: He speaks w unstinting admiration of Flagstad. What had he to say of Bach, I wonder? Such an outstanding Bach cantata & Passions interpreter!
