Dieskau mit Mahler ist unübertroffen. Das ist eine einzige Einheit zwischen idealem Stimmklang, absoluter Logik der Melodieführung und der bestechenden Textdeutlichkeit. Das Orchester ist auch top.
Secondo me qualcuno l'ha superato eccome... Poi è sempre questione di gusti personali e non è mai gara tra interpreti. Ognuno, per quel che può, porta il proprio contributo ed è bello così.
Dietrich Fischer Dieskau in absoluter sängerischer Höchstform. Selten so eine gute sängerische Darstellung der Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen gehört wie diese. Mit genialer Empathie singt Dieskau diese Lieder innig sich in den Text und die Musik einfühlend und großartigen schauspielerisch gestischen Ausdruck. Bescheiden nur dem Werk des Komponisten dienend. Ein wirklich großer Künstler und Mensch.
The only thing in this world as beautiful as Dieter's singing and Mahler's music, was the purity in his eyes. In this recording he had the eyes of a child...I'm just too moved.
almost 2 years since he has passed. What a TREASURE to have found THIS! Yes, he was young. However MAHLER! My eyes, filled with mist. Ich bin zu sehr dankbar ... Ich bin sprachlos. TerminalEpistaxis.... Vielen, vielen Dank!
...purity, indeed.....a seamless legato like no other throughout his enormous range, but then he had so incredibly much to express in each of these songs and he had the vocal equipment to convey every musical, or dramatic thought perfectly, beautifully...There seems to be nothing he couldn't do. He was simply the very model of a great lieder singer.
So much more nuanced than his earlier recordings of the same work. He's 35 years old in this video and looks much younger...still has his baby fat. What a transformation in appearance between 1960 and about five years later. The voice, too, sounds so youthful here. Exquisite!
i DO believe he "began" to reach his "prime" approximately 5 or so yrs after this. But. oh. MY. WHAT a find. I do SO LOVE this. I do so miss Albert. dfd....the greatest in terms of technique and artistic expression. I have never heard him do this Mahler. I am in ecstasy!
This is purely a matter of taste, but I think DFD's prime was during this period (1957-1965) when he performed this. However, I agree with the post that the 1954 recording is better than this. He also recorded it later. I have both recordings. But this has the advantage of actually seeing him live, which you don't often enough. Great facial expression and expressive eyes. DFD recorded some pieces several times over his career, and interesting to compare them.
La voce di Dietrich Fischer Diskau è magnifica. E magnifica e insuperata questa interpretazione dei Lieder, autentico banco di prova anche per i cantanti più importanti...
Here is Fischer-Dieskau at age 27 with Furtwangler, 8 years before this version. For me this is the benchmark for these songs: ruclips.net/video/tKpjJCvWxRg/видео.html
Absolutely the best version of this work I've heard is by Christa Ludwig (and it's on RUclips). After listening to that, I find almost every other performance of this wonderful work rather bland. Interesting, the female voice seems to bring out the tragic element in this music more poignantly.
I know these tunes the other way. When I was 14 this was the hot classical record in 1962. And they never upgraded the Orchestral sound back then. Records were records of a performance even if the technology was deficient. So Ludwig's version suffered until much later. But Baritones do seem to get buried in the orchestra and become a baritone sandwich with 1/3rd of the orchestra holding them up and 2/3rds trying to bury them. As they often do with real contraltos. I will never argue against Ludwig but always prefer DFD slightly to greatly over many others.
Yes, he almost did it. That was not meant to be sang as 'falsetto'. I know this will irritate several DFD fans, but check how Prey sung it under Vaclav Naumann's baton years later: ruclips.net/video/DCYh1ojuOFE/видео.html
@@mendoncacorreia lol what do you mean it was not meant to be sang as falsetto? :D Of course it's meant to be, Mahler denotes ppp, and DFD did it perfectly (and in a way Hermann Prey would never have been able to). And also, DFD sings the "n" of "nimmer" on the correct note, unlike Prey :p
@@fabianherzog7083 It is written to be sung softly. The desicion wether to do it in falsetto or mezza voce (more skill required) is entirely the artist's. I agree that this is not an ideal A-flat from Prey who otherwise had the superior high voice of them both (Listen to "Mit deinen blauen Augen" by Strauss for example, or the Barber of Seville, a role FD never attempted).
Un baritono? tenore?...cos'e'? un canto leziosissimo passato per grande interprete..come la Schwarzkopf,Marschallin dalla mattina alla sera...leziosa anche lei e molto veristi entrambi.
As music lover 'Afripoli' wrote about this performannce several years ago in RUclips: "Terrible. He destroyed the German Lied culture. He sounds like a church tenor singing for grandmothers. Schlusnus was the last real German baritone. And even Prey was much [b]etter than him."
Wunderbar, zu Herzen gehend, er ist der Beste.

Love this lieder expressing in large Mahler's own feelings, wonderful performance
Such incredible tone, range, and EXPRESSION, both vocal and physical! I had the great honor of seeing him perform in the 70’s. It was unforgettable!
Hacía mucho tiempo, mucho, que no me impresionaba tanto una música!!!!
Genius singing.....perfection in every way. A giant.
14:00 -> 14:16 coda
Always fascinating Mahler and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. Unforgettable voice. Thank you for sharing this adorable performance.
He gave every poetic text a profound reading that was communicated through his singing. In this he had no equal.
Maybe "no equal," but there was one that was even better: ruclips.net/video/QP_opfNBmOs/видео.html
Always a joy to hear him, an inimitable voice of tremendous purity.

This would be 6 years after his 1954 recording with Furtwangler which for me is the gold standard.
A great joy for me. I love the range of dynamics. The phrasing so musicianly.
Hier stimmt alles, unglaublich diese Intonation

The genious of Fischer-Dieskau
I love all your comments about him, too!
Wonderful!!
Bravo
this is CRAZY good!!!!!! L-O-V-E him.
Wow.....just wow. thats all i can say.
Conductor Paul Kletzsky
WHEN HE WAS A VERY YOUNG BARITONE COMING UP....
Glad to follow in his footsteps and study this cycle for grad school!

Lovely!
RIP DFD!
Magisterial. Also, his legato German enunciation is worth taking note of.
Wow!! He never ceases to amaze me. I wish the orchestra had been better though.
Maravilloso
Came here cos of Mahler 1
Can't get enough of this. Especially in springtime.
He looks like Bumper in “Pitch Perfect” ... Fat Amy has his number, I think

ディースカウはもしかしたらこの頃が最強だったかもしれない。素晴らしい❗️N響はやはりこの頃は下手ですね。でも貴重な記録ですよね。
He nearly blew it at 7:15, nein? DFD is the interpreter supreme of Lieder, IMO. I don't think anyone will sing 'Eine Leichenphantasie', D. 7 better.
No, he was completely there, total control of his falsetto.
Yes, he almost did it. That was not meant to be sang as 'falsetto'. I know this will irritate several DFD fans, but check how Prey sung it under Vaclav Naumann's baton years later: ruclips.net/video/DCYh1ojuOFE/видео.html

@@moishemillerr Both singers are great! Just wanted to come to the falsetto defense
Thomas Hampson ist DFD ebenbürtig
Herrlich ! Aber wann war diese Aufnahme getan ?
1960
Mahler. Fisher-Dieskau.
