Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau: The Great EMI Recordings

Many elements of this German lyric baritone's artistry-his interpretive insights, his note-perfect control, his diction, his rhythmic sense, his tonal shadings-combined to make him the most celebrated lieder singer of his age. This 11-CD set collects his landmark EMI recordings, which pair him with illustrious pianists like Moore, Richter, Sawallisch and Barenboim. Bonus audio interviews include many thoughts and observations of Fischer-Dieskau's that have never been published before; they join entire discs devoted to the song cycles of Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Wolf, Mahler and many more!
