as one of the world’s finest singers of Lieder, in addition
to being an internationally renowned opera singer and
conductor. His interpretations of the Lieder of Brahms,
Schubert, Schumann and Wolf have drawn particular praise
from critics and audiences around the globe. Having made his
concert debut in a 1947 performance of Brahms's German
Requiem, he went on to make his operatic debut in Berlin’s
State Opera in 1948, performing in Verdi's Don Carlo.
Throughout a widely lauded career, he has appeared in all of
the world’s great music festivals and opera houses. In
addition to his many achievements as a singer,

In 1992 Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau retired as a singer and
dedicated himself to conducting, teaching, painting, and
writing.
“When I conduct an orchestra, my landscape is still that
of the human voice”.
