Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, a renowned lieder singer, has had a significant impact on the generations that followed. This influence was particularly pronounced on Benjamin Appl, who became his last pupil after attending a masterclass. In honor of Fischer-Dieskauâs centenary, Appl, along with pianist James Baillieu, has produced a beautifully curated album of 32 songs that encapsulate various stages of Fischer-Dieskau's life and career, showcasing works from composers like Schubert, and others that were composed specifically for him. This heartfelt homage reflects both Applâs respect for his mentor and his own artistry.
No singer of the second half of the last century has cast a longer shadow on subsequent generations than Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, influencing even those who never studied with him.
Benjamin Appl, who became Fischer-Dieskau's final pupil, pays tribute with a centenary disc of 32 songs reflecting every stage of his mentor's life.
