Limited Edition 21 CD set! Over 400 Lieder!
What can be said about Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau that hasn't alreday been said; The greatest Lieder singer of all time, One of the most influential singers of our Century, and the like. It is all true. This man has accomplished in one lifetime what 10 singers combined to would accomplish. For his 85th birthday, Deutsche Gramaphon has compiled a 21 disc set of his greatest triumph and legacy, in his recordings of Schubert Lieder. These are the absolute benchmark in Lieder recordings, and are considered law amongst the singing community. Accompanied here by Gerald Moore, a marvel in his own right, Fischer-Dieskau leads us through the three song cycles of Schubert (Die schone Mullerin, Winterreise, and Schwanengesang). As these recordings are well known, and accessible, the real treasure lies in the other 18 discs of lieder, most of it extremely rare, and often only recorded once or twice ever in history. Price-wise it is a steal as the complete lieder set through Hyperion is close to 4 times the price. This set is absolutely unparallelled and is an absolute must for any music collector.
