Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Any great concert singer is likely to have a lifelong obsession with Schubert's greatest song cycle, which tracks the winter journey of a jilted lover wandering into the snow finding ever-greater depths of alienation. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau seemed to record the piece every 10 years or so, but this 1966 outing is said to be his favorite, and it's easy to understand why. All of his customary intelligence is in full evidence, but the voice is particularly resplendent. While this carries an obvious sensual appeal--and every two minutes or so he does something that takes your breath away--the voice also illuminates his overall interpretive concepts with a clarity that can be achieved perhaps only by a voice in its absolute prime. Particularly gratifying is his emotional directness; later performances could be so refined, so worked over that the emotionalism (such an important part of this piece) seemed more remembered than felt. --David Patrick Stearns Average Rating:
 Rating: - A haunting cd for those winter days This is one of the best versions of schubert's winterreise.It has been remastered in state of the art sound,and is very lovely to listen to.The baritone sings very expressive and intelligently as most lieder lovers know.Fischer-dieskau has a very rich tone to his voice here,which reminds me of a stroll through the gardens of a bavarian castle on a cloudly and gloomy winter's day. A classic remastered. Rating: - Schubert's WinterreiseI'll keep this short and sweet. This is Schubert's greatest song-cycle and I've yet to find a better album to listen to in the middle of winter. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau probably has more vocal control, sensitivity and tonal colour than any vocalist I've ever heard. I've never heard a recording of his that didn't amaze me and I believe this to be the best thing he's ever done. And that's saying something considering the wealth of material he's recorded. The atmosphere on this ...

Perhaps it is the contrast between the hot summer days and the icy, wintery setting of Schubert's songs. In addition, the one-day summer break, encouraging reflection in the midst of a busy year, draws me to Schubert's music. But more so, while occupied with public celebrations, such as fireworks, parades, and company (which ... Read More Rating: - A Great InterpetationFisher-Dieskau is at his best, portraying so much emotion it's almost hard to believe. The listener feels so connected to the story, and you just can't wait for the next piece to start. Highly reccommended to anyone who is serious about voice. Take note of how he nails the phrasing and uses it to portray all of the emotion. Rating:  - good but he surpasses himself in 1971DFD has a great voice here, yes. but I yhink in 1971, with still great vocal flexibility, achieves greater richness in phrasing (1st song as an example). And Demus!!! With repeated listening he plays quite boringly for my taste. For me a great combination is pregardien-staier (1825 fortepiano, with fantastic colours not available in modern steinways) or that 1971 DfD-Moore. Buy this only if you are a completist or can`t find these 2 recommendations. This is very good, but he recorded later a better ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
