{"product_id":"brahms-lieder-1972","title":"Brahms: Lieder (1972)","description":"As part of a four volume edition of previously unreleased radio recordings from across Fischer-Dieskau’s entire career, this concert stereo recording, made in Berlin in 1972 with Tamás Vásáry as his partner at the piano, demonstrates the significance attributed to Brahms’ songs within Fischer-Dieskau’s musical cosmos.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e These releases from the archives of the RIAS and the Sender Freies Berlin document the unequalled quantitative and qualitative spectrum which baritone Fischer-Dieskau acquired during the five decades of his career.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e They offer a fascinating insight into the breadth of his repertoire as well as his artistic approach, with which he maintained a careful balance of development and continuity until the end. These recordings – spanning Beethoven’s sacred songs Op. 48 of 1806, through Schumann, Brahms, Mahler and Reger, to Heinrich Sutermeister’s expressive psalm setting of 1948 – demonstrate the essential Fischer-Dieskau.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Not only do they document the artistic partnership with pianists such as Hertha Klust, Daniel Barenboim, Cord Garben, Aribert Reimann and Tamás Vásáry, but also the delightful collaboration with the organist Ulrich Bremsteller.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau can be heard together with his wife and musical partner, Julia Varady. This is a documentary edition both in the sense of a historic and an artistic legacy: it reveals the riches of lieder from the last two centuries which Fischer-Dieskau, in his role of musical chronicler, made accessible for the present age; and it is an impressive record of an incomparable interpretational art, according to which word and music were always treated and realised as a unit.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Audite Musikproduktion","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49704563540248,"sku":"4022143956354","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/1654324.jpg?v=1747168259","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/brahms-lieder-1972","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
