too fussy piano playing : not very spontaneous . I like both Dieter &Richter

When I was a professional musician and in need of inspiration I would, and still do, listen to DFD. He is one of the greatest musicians I've ever heard! I can't thank him enough for bringing us all a piece of heaven!

@Opera777777 Absolutely! 

[Opera777777]

I hate people that criticizes SUCH GREAT VOICES THAT EXISTS like one in every million... it's like "can you sing better than them" well if you can't stop criticizing them you know....

@Chiliarches : Nonsense

[MrNimrod2555]

This is sublime music making -simply sublime

[zamyrabyrd]

You're absolutely right. DFD is a one of a kind artist with a special recognizable timbre. Some want to call that a flaw as in the case of Maria Callas but instead it should be seen as positive. His judicious use of falsetto is notable here in a change of harmony - phraseology and coloration of an intelligent musician.

I think his voice has the rare quality of being genuine and personal. Half of classical singers have no identifiable individuality in their voices. Trained to produce a 'perfect' and tediously generic tone which bares no relation to the persons speaking voice. It's the imperfections in peoples voices that are interesting, not getting perfect legato phrases all the time in spite of the words or meaning.
