Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (28 May 1925 – 18 May 2012) was one of the greatest baritones of the twentieth century.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Team Play


When Fischer-Dieskau planned a concert tour

He often worked with pianist Gerald Moore;

A singer who is so superbly flanked

Might ask which gods or muses should be thanked,

For even Lieder’s leading baritone

Can’t face the concert public all alone.
