Baritone; one of the great singers of the 20th century -- via the Guardian.Not just a pretty voice -- he understood and could communicate the most subtle shades of meaning, making clear the most complex lieder and aria! Here is a wonderful meditation on his talent, integrity, influence and importance by Anthony Tommasini in the New York Times. I was another one of those people who never "got" lieder, and could see no use for it -- until I put on Fischer-Dieskau. An indispensable artist.
