Is this the complete one that's mentioned on this page (21 CDs)?

She's a smart woman.

That's a marriage that's going to last!

My wife wants more Dietrich Ficher-Dieskau, any advice on decent collections of his work?

(he's very funny in this)



(If you don't want a DVD)

(Unforgettable when he sings in the final movement of Beethoven 9)

Very good Wolfram



(for the Liederkreis)

(Bernstein at the piano -- it has grown on me recently: I used to realy find it totally OTT.)

(You also need the cantata Christ Lag In Todesbanden, with Richter)

It appears to be the same. But the other one is half the price.

It is a lot, but if you like it, then it it's a lot of pleasure!

That is a fine DVD recommendation. The visuals are not always to my liking, but who cares when the singing is so good.

I looked at my collection, and I picked these Fischer-Dieskau recordings as especially interesting - as a whole, not necessarily just because of Fischer-Dieskau.

Britten: War Requiem (Britten)

   

Verdi: Rigoletto (Kubelik)

   

Wagner: Lohengrin (Kempe)

   

Schumann: Faust-Szenen (Britten)

   

Mozart: Zauberflöte (Böhm)

   

Brahms: Deutsche Volkslieder (Fischer-Dieskau/Schwarzkopf)

   

Brahms: Liebesliederwalzer (Mathis, Fassbaender, Schreier, Fischer-Dieskau, Engel, Sawallisch)

   

I actually don't remember exactly how I liked this one, it is so long ago I listened:

Busoni: Dr. Faustus

   

And Mandryka's list I also like - as far as I know the recordings, it gives me a few ideas to explore further myself.

Thank you all for your recommendations!

I heard sad news on the radio today:

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau has died today, short before his 87th birthday.
