Sing, Sing, Sing
"No singer in our time, or probably any other has managed the range and
versatility of repertory achieved by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau." Alan Blyth, as qtd, in Wikipedia
When Fischer-Dieskau took the risks
Of choosing rep for all those discs,
It looked as if it was his goal
To find, and study, and control
Most every song and every role
That anyone had ever written
That baritones could do their bit in.
