Customer Reviews

The testament of the man with the golden voice
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...
.
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.
