@TheVanya1900 I do prefer Fischer-Dieskau too for Lieder. Fischer-Dieskau is a class of it's own, true. But Cesare Siepi does a very good job here (it's LIVE!), and - he had the smoothest, most roaring, most appealing bass voice that I ever heard. My father was so lucky having heard this rather short, little man live... I was too young, and now this splendid man has passed away. What nobility!

Very nice, but I like Fischer-Dieskau more

Simply in a world of his own when it comes to basses

German is... okay. One understands him very well, but some more or less major pronunciation mistakes occur. Apart from that, at 1:30, "Und sah die Schlang die dir am Herzen frisst"... I prefer - let's say Wunderlichs - high note there, to not dramatise this part is not very clever to me... I clearly prefer Wunderlichs Version, this is way too slow for me.

This is the most beautiful rendition of 'Ich grolle nicht' that I have heard in my life. It made my cry...and Cesare Siepi's German was excellent!!!...He was unquestionable second only to Chaliapin!!!...Adrien J. Alpendre PhD (Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana)

Does it sound overly morbid to say that, if I were on my deathbed, I would like that to be playing as I drifted off to wherever?
