CD Reviews

The testament of the man with the golden voice
Kirk McElhearn | A village in the French Alps | 09/08/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's surprising that, as I write this, there is only one other review. This set may be the most valuable recording of lieder in the history of recorded music. Containing all of Schubert's songs for male voice (there are many others that DFD didn't record, because they are for higher ranges), this set is brilliant, and has a rare homogeneity. Some may say that it's not quite as good as his recordings from the 1960s, and they may be right. But this set has a unity of vision that spans all 21 CDs, from the songs of Schubert's youth to the three great song cycles.



DFD is certainly the golden voice that has left the greatest imprint on lieder singing, and this set should be in every lieder fan's library. While completists will want to also pick up the Complete Songs on Hyperion (on 37 CDs, includes all the songs for female voices, and for multiple voices), but that set, with different singers, lacks the unity of this landmark. Once you have gotten hooked by Fischer-Dieskau's voice, it's hard to turn back. When you understand this music, and fall in love with his voice, you can then go on and explore his other great lieder recordings, of Mahler, Schumann, Brahms, Wolf, and many more."
A Major Document of an Incredible Oeuvre...
Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 03/11/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

".

Of over 600 songs, Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore realized over three-quarters: these are those. Gerald Moore was of course as important to this project as Fischer-Dieskau.



DGG's sound is excellent.



This set is a remarkable document of art.



Combine with The Schubert Song Companion .

Unbelievable!

"
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is my favorite singer. Many would agree. On a personal note, he personally helped me with my Master's Thesis on Busoni's Doktor Faust, back in the 1970s, by which he personally sent me(tho he was busy performing at the Edinburgh Festival at the time!) a lengthy letter stating his opinions and insights on this 20th century masterwork. I am forever grateful and have his letter framed in my office. Now, the Schubert:



I am listening to disc 10 as I write this review. Surely DFD is the most-recorded singer of all time, of any genre! 21 CDs of fabulous music here alone! Surely this wonderful singer bears no comparisons in versatility. There may be warmer or more dramatic voices, but no one sings with more expression then DFD. This is, as others have stated, a recorded document of great historical significance. All lovers of great music and great singing should own this. The price may seem steep at first glance, but count the discs, then count the songs!! And mention should also be made of the redoubtable Gerald Moore, the prince of accompanists. He too is simply amazing! A plus all around. Recorded sound is first-rate. And booklets enclosed, commentaries and complete lyrics are most appreciated.



Thanks to DG for keeping this magnificent collection in print. May it ever remain so."
