As an opera and art song lover there were very few singers which such stage presence and perfectly pitched voice. I shall miss him but not forgottem thanks to the many recordings I have of his melodious voice.
There will never be another voice like Dietrich's. Even though I'm not a musician, his singing has entertained and inspired me for years. Mr. D's recording of Carl Orff's: Carmina Burana has always been a favorite of mine. Just couldn't wait for when it was his time to sing. The celestial chorus has a fine new member.
Your voice inspired me to follow my dreams.
Fischer-Dieskau's mellow but strong voice will be very much missed, even though he has been retired for 20 years. Thankfully the many recordings that he made over the years will preserve his memory for future generations. His contributions are unparalleled, and his interpretations of Wagner characters are among those that moved me most.
An elegant and superb singer in a class by himself. Thank you, DF-D, and God Bless You.
