I have these on an old LP and they are heart breaking. This man was the best. I am so glad I can still listen to the marvellous recordings he made.

I'm glad my parents were immigrants from Ireland. I can simply enjoy the music.

Fischer-Dieskau brings this Mahler to life. His voice & style of singing is truly unique. My other favorite of his ilk is Hakan Hagegard. If they could somehow be transformed into pianists, Fischer-Dieskau would be Rubinstein & Hagegard would be Emanuel Ax. I once read on the back of an album cover a description of Fischer-Dieskau's voice as being "eccentric." I presume that referred to his unique phrasings. Of my 1,000+ records, I don't have too many baritones to compare him to. He's the best!

A truly beautiful, haunting piece of music, sublimely sung by one of my all-time favourite singers. Hearing the orchestration alone makes me want to weep buckets.

For me, personally, at this point in his career , he owned these songs and the "Lieder Eines Fahrenden Gessellen", Songs of a Wayfarer,,,,,,, so glad to be able to see and hear these on this post,,, thank you so much!!!!!!!
I don't know why such beautiful music makes people think so much about politics... Thanks for posting this, I suddenly really wanted to hear it and here it was, so sad and sublime. Ah, the wonders of Youtube (and Mahler, and Fischer-Dieskau)!

sorry folks but could we return to the music which is why, presumably, we set up these sites?
