The Song and the Singer For many he is the greatest Lieder singer of the 20th century. As he turns 80, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau reflects on his long career.
He also is the compiler of a very nice book of Lieder lyrics, which would be a great resource not only for fans/performers of classical music but also for any student of German language or literature.

Hah. Bring on the music!

Oh, and while I was searching for performances by Fischer-Dieskau, I came upon this collection of classical music sites where you can download numerous great performances. Just this link alone is droolworthy enough for a FPP.

They're all old recordings from the 50's, but public domain? Where? U.S., Germany, Italy, China, or Russia?

Thanks for the post. Lieder? Eh. But his Wozzeck literally raises the hairs on the back of my neck.
