What makes Fischer-Dieskau such a significant artist, especially when it comes to lieder, is just the way he throws himself completely into the music. You have the sense that he’s examined it from every possible angle and he’s chosen this way to go with it. The shading and the sensitivity with which he works with words, not only their meaning but the way he caresses their phonemes, is quite remarkable.

— Critic and author Tim Page on baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, who died this morning at 86.

Here he is performing Schubert’s Der Erlkönig.

A diary entry by Schubert for 13th June 1816. In it, the nineteen year-old composer writes: “Gently, as from a distance, the magic tones of Mozart’s music sound upon my ears. Thus do such sweet impressions, passing into our souls, work beneficently in our innermost beings.”
