Various Artists - Early Recordings: Anthology - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is undoubtedly one of the greatest vocalists of the past century - and one of those with the most extensive discography. Yet we constantly note the disappearance from the catalogue of early recordings for radio or gramophone, particularly those which covered less popular repertoire. And there are a number of recordings that have simply never been issued on album. The present anthology aims to bridge this gap - with seven albums offering an average of 77 minutes playing time, or a total of some nine hours of music rare repertoire, seldom or never yet available in these versions on album, matched by indispensable gems of recorded music such as the young Fischer-Dieskau in Gustav Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen in the orchestral version under the baton of the great Wilhelm Furtwängler. That legendary orchestra director, in his turn, judged that Inchno-one has ever sung Mahler betterInch than the young baritone. Album Tracks 1. 1. Schwanengesang, D. 957 No. 10.
