Mendelssohn:

Lieder

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone),Wolfgang Sawallisch (piano) & Gerald Moore (piano)

The great German baritone made these recordings – with Wolfgang Sawallisch at the piano in the Mendelssohn, Gerald Moore in the Loewe – in Berlin in 1970 and 1967 respectively. This is the first time the LP of Loewe’s Ballads has appeared in its entirety on CD.

As Richard Wigmore notes in his characteristically scholarly and elegant booklet essay, ‘Fischer-Dieskau’s narrative flair, mastery of word-painting and gift for fixing a scene in the mind’s ear made him a natural for the ballads of Carl Loewe, a composer once well described as a 19th-century incarnation of a medieval strolling minstrel’.
