SOMM Recordings is proud to mark the centenary of the legendary German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (28 May 1925–18 May 2012) by adding to his canonical discography with live recital and concert recordings from the Music Preserved archive.
Fischer-Dieskau was at the very height of his powers from 1960–75, and the performances on this album date from that period.
A bonus CD contains two interviews conducted by Jon Tolansky— appearing here in their entirety for the first time—the 75th Birthday Interview (2000) and 80th Birthday Interview (2005).
