- I received a kind request (thank you!) to upload some of this performance of Dichterliebe and decided that this would be a perfect presentation to honor Fischer-Dieskau's 84th birthday on May 28. This performance comes from Fischer-Dieskau's debut solo recital at the Salzburg Festival on August 13, 1956. His partner at the piano is Gerald Moore.
"Dichterliebe", 'The Poet's Love' (composed 1840), is the best-known song cycle of Robert Schumann (Op. 48). The texts for the 16 songs come from the "Lyrisches Intermezzo" of Heinrich Heine, composed 1822-1823, published as part of the poet's "Das Buch der Lieder".
The very natural, almost hyper-sensitive poetical affections of the poems are beautifully mirrored in Schumann's settings, with their miniaturist chromaticism and suspensions. The poet's love is a hothouse of nuanced responses to the delicate language of flowers, dreams and fairy-tales. Schumann adapts the words of the poems to his needs for the songs, sometimes repeating phrases and often rewording a line to supply the desired cadence.

Dichterliebe, Op. 48
Part 1, Songs 1-6
Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Knospen sprangen,
Da ist in meinem Herzen
Die Liebe aufgegangen.
Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Vögel sangen,
Da hab' ich ihr gestanden
Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.
In the wonderfully beautiful month of May
When all the buds are bursting open,
There, from my own heart,
Bursts forth my own love.
In the wonderfully beautiful month of May
When all the birds are singing,
So have I confessed to her
My yearning and my longing.
Aus meinen Tränen sprießen
Viel blühende Blumen hervor,
Und meine Seufzer werden
Ein Nachtigallenchor.
Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen,
Schenk' ich dir die Blumen all',
Und vor deinem Fenster soll klingen
Das Lied der Nachtigall.
From my tears sprout forth
Many blooming flowers,
And my sighing become joined with
The chorus of the nightingales.
And if you love me, dear child,
I will send you so many flowers;
And before your window should sound
The song of the nightingale.
Die Rose, die Lilie, die Taube, die Sonne,
Die liebt' ich einst alle in Liebeswonne.
Ich lieb' sie nicht mehr, ich liebe alleine
Die Kleine, die Feine, die Reine, die Eine;
Sie selber, aller Liebe Wonne,
Ist Rose und Lilie und Taube und Sonne.
Ich liebe alleine die Kleine,
die Feine, die Reine, die Eine.
The rose, the lily, the dove, the sun,
I loved them all once in love's bliss.
I love them no more, I love only
The Small, the Fine, the Pure the One;
I love only them.
She herself--the source of all love--
IS the rose, lily, dove, and sun
I love only that which is small,
Fine, pure--the one, the ONE!
Wenn ich in deine Augen seh',
So schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh;
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.
Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
So muß ich weinen bitterlich.
When I gaze into your eyes,
All my pain and woe vanishes;
Yet when I kiss your lips,
I am made wholly and entirely healthy.
When I lay against your breast
It comes over me like longing for heaven;
Yet when you say, "I love you!"
I must cry so bitterly.
Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll klingend hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.
Das Lied soll schauern und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.
I want to delve my soul
Into the cup of the lily;
The lily should give resoundingly
A song belonging to my beloved.
The song should shudder and tremble
Like the kiss from her lips
That she once gave me
In a wonderfully sweet hour.
Im Rhein, im heiligen Strome,
Da spiegelt sich in den Well'n
Mit seinem großen Dome
Das große, heil'ge Köln.
Im Dom da steht ein Bildnis,
Auf goldenem Leder gemalt;
In meines Lebens Wildnis
Hat's freundlich hinein gestrahlt.
Es schweben Blumen und Eng'lein
Um unsre liebe Frau;
Die Augen, die Lippen, die Wänglein,
Die gleichen der Liebsten genau.
In the Rhine, in the holy stream
Is it mirrored in the waves -
With its great cathedral -
That great, holy city Cologne.
In the Cathedral stands an image
Painted on golden leather;
Into the wildness of my life
Has it shone, friendly.
Flowers and little cherubs hover
Around our beloved Lady;
The eyes, the lips, the cheeks--
They match my beloved's exactly.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone)
Gerald Moore (piano)

I just came back to this song because I had to do a music assignment, and I remember this, then coincidentally, it comes to my mind. "GFriend? Wait that was in Summer rain!" and it came at exactly the time that my interest and stan-ness of GFriend was/is at it's peak, amazing.

SUMMER RAIN
Wonderful.
Im wunderschönen Monat Mai is a perfect example of music expressing what words cannot express. The unresolved chord at the end saying that his desires were un-fulfilled.
Thanks Karen.
Music raised a monument for him.
Today is his special day, 84th birthday.
His work is always unfailing.
I came under his great influence when I was so young. It looks like life-changing experience with me.
Thanks for sharing!
Omg SUMMER RAIN😂
Wunderbar! Es ist unglaublich, wie ein junger Mensch von 31 Jahren diese Gefühle dermaßen schön in Musik umsetzen kann. Fischer-Dieskau wird immer unerreicht bleiben. Herrlich aber auch, wie Du, liebe Karen, diese Musik bebilderst. Vielen Dank!
I came here after summer rain but I did'nt understood . Can some1 explain me plz.
So beautiful! Schumann, Heine, Fisher-Dieskau, Moore, and the wonderful photos you found and added. So beaufiful.

whoopee!! I finally found this baritone version of Dichterliebe. Though his version of this song used to be my most favorite when I was young I couldn't remember his name and completely lost. But luckily I could managed to find this. Thanks for uploading again!
Gfriend summer rain
Thank you! Nice recordings, Schumann is one of my favorite composers!!:)
Thank you for the explanation: I've long loved this specific piece without informing myself of its origins. Many heartfelt thanks
GFRIEND BROUGHT ME HERE AFTER 1WEEK
CONGRATULATIONS and so many thanks!
Гениальная ,Неповторимая Интерпретация Шумана !!!! Какой берущий за душу Голос !!!
Un Voce Geniale . Un Interpretazione Inripetibile ! La Voce prende anima !!! Grazie Mille
Of the four, the first composition is my favorite as it appears, to me - the heartiest of them all.
Come here because gfriend
what a wonderful voice, with these beautiful pics! thanks very much!
This is for my music class then I suddenly remember Gfriend
Gfriend-summer rain... ☔🌈☔
Wonderful! Just wonderful!
Glad you're pleased, Martin, since you gave me the idea to do this. I had forgotten how wonderful this performance was but really got to listen intently while working on the video. And yes,his voice was darker then. This entire recital (all Heine) is fabulous!
Absolutely Lovely!!! Wonderful quality of sound, so close. Thank you as always Karen, and belated birthday wishes to DFD, who has our gratitude and affection always.
This is so beautiful, it gives me chills
What a beautiful and flawless performance! His voice is darker here than it is in later years, I like that a lot. Great interpretation with focus on the essential.
Jesus Christ cares about you :" )
may your ways be of God's desires for you, full of care, mercy, patience, gentleness, helpfulness and always forgiving
This is so painfully beautiful...
This is awesome, great pictures, very fitting. Perfect for revision for our Music and context exam about this song cycle! Good job!
Fantastic! Such depth and artistry of both, singer and pianist. This brings back great memories, I heard DFD around that time in Amsterdam! Thank you for putting the text up with those lovely appropriate scenic backgrounds. Great job, very artistic and thanks for sharing!
So wonderful!!
Thank you Tatsu! He certainly changed my life I can tell you.
Amazing!!!!
Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks for uploading!
oh. my. Goodness! Gorgeous.....
Buddies?
What a tender rendition.

Thank you FiDiTanzer528! I love the beautiful images you have chosen for your videos and having the German and English subtitles really works :) Fischer-Dieskau's rendering of Schumann's genius song-writing is wonderfully moving.
I concur with Glenmed. Karen, you are the Michelangelo of RUclips! These songs are so great . It will take me months to take in the performances. But thank *you* so much for the perfect visual accompaniment to this very rich dish! Wonnevoll:)
ESTE LIEDER TITULADO AMOR DEL POETA,la esperanza surge constantemente en la voz del poeta,es decirrr,que su amada le corresponda,se ve siempre interrumpida por elegíacos cambios de armonía y distorsiones burlonas de las frases melódicas cantadas,hasta que al final,cuando aquel acepta la pérdida de su amada,el piano inicia un epílogo de lo mas connomvedor,un hermoso recuento de felicidad establecido más alla de la recuperación.A veces Schumann,en el arte de los Lieders puede superar a SCHUBERT.

Excellent recorder. Congratulations
@Unbihexium
Thanks for the comment. Of course no pictures can ever equal this music. I do hope that I captured some moments though. I welcome your thoughts on the three remaining videos that complete this cycle.
FiDiTanzer, you are the man! And also Fischer-Dieskau... jeje.
Her mayıs dinlerim. :d
Bir Türk yok mu yahu? :/
Another device that Schumann used is the ambiguity of tonality. In " Im wunderschönen Monat Mai" , although the tonic appears to be
F♯ minor, the voice was introduced with what appears to be A major cadence. This ambiguity of tonality expressed ( ALTHOUGH THE WORDS DID NOT EXPRESS) that the result of his love is uncertain. A perfect example of music expressing what the words do not say.
You are so right, Zrshwe. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Gfriend brought me here 😍
The sound quality is good, isn't it, considering it's live and 1956. Thanks, dear friend, for viewing. What a glorious cycle this is.
Well, in fact, Hindemith was neither a poet nor an expert of English language, I think... anyway, thank you very much for letting us listen to this sublime performance of the second best lieder cycle in the history of music,:)
RIP a legend
Wow, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau with a bit a mucuous layer (from a cold?) over the voice at the beginning of the recital and then getting gradually warmer piece by piece up to the usual, full smooth command of his instrument...! Veeery, veery interesting!
Did this perfect otherwoldly singing really have some human constringements?
Thank you for posting this - for the glory of eternal art!
A. von Uri, Switzerland
Ganz groß ! RIP
This is a fine performance of this song cycle by DFD. He sings with a longer smoother legato line here than later in his career. The high A in Ich Grolle Nicht is great, open, and free. The tempo is stricter and slower throughout also, less rubato. Also more consistent tone color in the phrasing. Compare this to his performance with Demus later, and with Horowitz in 1976.
Definitively Romantic. Channeling Schubert
In the process of transposing editors have looked at tonalities but also at how something fits the voice. Schumann wrote this cycle for high voice but quite a few songs fit nicely in the baritone range and would even become a bit too low if transposed down. Numbers 9-14 are also performed in the original keys. The same can be seen in all the other Schumann cycles, as well as with Schubert and Brahms.
Gerald Moore of course. The credits are at the beginning of the video.
Where are you Buddies?
@ FiDiTanzer528....do you have ANY idea as to how you have enriched my life, by posting THIS particular entire Dichterliebe song cycle? Between dfd, moore, heine und Herr Schumann .... is too much for me to express. I shall continue at another time.....Ach.. mein Herz!.
It is a lot to take in. I hadn't listened to this performance in quite some time and was actually floored (again!) by it, listening over and over to certain passages while working on this. The entire recital was Heine settings, 1956 being a Heine anniversary year (centenary of his death).
Thanks, L. I know how you love Heine.
It is a slippery note, but not impossible! I kind of figured that singing it in C is a prestige thing, congrats to any baritone who can hit that high A...
Someone please reply!
I'm from Luxembourg and I have my baccalaureate next year and we're covering some significant composers of different time periods...so my question is, how can this be recocnised as Schumann's piece? What makes it different from others?
danke chico da tina
Oliver Sacks brought me here 🤗
GFRIEND brought me here
anyone got the Thomas Quasthoff Dichterliebe? it's simply amazing
a book about robert and clara brought me here
Cette mélodie de Schubert, autant que les tableaux qui l'accompagnent, sont superbes. Lesquels avez-vous utilisés pour cette vidéo ?
Das Lied von Schubert, so wie die Gemälden damit, sind wunderschön. Welche Gemälden haben Sie für dieses Video benutzen ?
Schumann, pas Schubert!
Excellent analysis, but I am confused with the recording. It seems that Dietrich is singing "Im wunderschonen" a whole step down from the original f#/A key that was written in the original manuscripts. That's fine since we are changing the key for a baritone singer, but by the time we get to "Ich Grolle Nicht" he is singing in the original key of C! Shouldn't "Ich Grolle Nicht" be transposed down to Bflat as the first group of songs were transposed down a whole step? Can anyone shed some light?
I agree with you that Bflat is a better choice musically. However, a low Bflat is a slippery note for a high lyric baritone and the last one needs to be rather loud. Having said that, I also believe it is a prestige thing amongst baritones to sing the Cmajor version. It's not all artistic integrity.
Common mistake, but this is not Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau it's Jens Avocadis. They had almost identical voices.
Das habe ich gesungen
+Matteo Cosentino It is perhaps because German always needs a piano (or orchestral) accompaniment at all times?
Well, someone did. :)
ich finds cool
Anyone who’s here without gfriend and with twoset violin
Thanks for that information, but I don't feel that singing a low Bflat at the end of "Ich Grolle Nicht" is too low...I have found many baritone books that also transpose this piece down a whole step. I think it would be more important to preserve Schumann's intentions regarding the harmonic relationships between each song in the cycle even if it is transposed down. I understand that editors want to make the range comfortable for low voice, but Schumann was known for challenging a singer's range.
Nobody knows Jens Avocadis. If he is really almost identical to Fischer-Dieskau then please reveal his existence to the world :-)
Who's the pianist?
Im so sad. T_T
I haven't noticed any mucuous layer on his voice there. The only human constringement I can hear is the morron that starts coughing at one of the most sensitive and pianississimo moments of the whole cycle. It's just after 4:15
Somebody kill that guy if he is not already dead!
does this has something connected to gfriend's theory lol, pls tell me
