Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Fischer-Dieskau, Dietrich 

Born May 28, 1925, in Berlin. German (Federal Republic of Germany) baritone.

Fischer-Dieskau graduated from the Higher Music School in Berlin. He was a student of G. Walter and H. Weissenborn. Fischer-Dieskau’s highly expressive voice has an exceptionally wide range. His masterly technique, excellent musicianship, and sense of style allow him, with an equal degree of perfection, to perform roles from classical and contemporary operas; many contemporary works owed their success to his interpretation. Fischer-Dieskau is a member of the Berlin Academy of Arts and an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Music in London and the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. Fischer-Dieskau has performed at many important European music festivals. His superb recordings, including his collection of songs by F. Schubert, have received popular acclaim.

In which South American country did Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau achieve fame?
Personally I would alter some of the decisions made by the critic panel; for example, I think the famous Evelyn Lear and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau recording of Berg's Wozzeck, conducted by Karl Bohm, is way above the recommended Abbado-led take with Franz Grundheber and Hildegard Behrens.
Renowned Turkish Huseyin Sermet will also appear in a concert conducted by Martin Fischer-Dieskau, the son of noted German singer Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau with the Presidential Symphony Orchestra.
