From Adam to Zemlinsky: Dietrich-Fischer Dieskau's entire lieder recordings on DG, Philips and Decca together for the first time on 107 CDs. Over 50 years of recording history from 1949 (Brahms: 'Vier ernste Gesänge') to 2003 (Melodramas) allow the development of his epochal voice to be traced over his long career. Included are the near-complete lied oeuvre of Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Wolf, Liszt and Strauss for male voice. In addition to the classic piano and orchestral songs, marginal repertoire is also included, such as duets and quartets by Brahms, Schubert ensembles, Shostakovich's 14th Symphony, Zemlinsky's Lyric Symphony, Rudi Stephan's 'Liebeszauber' and numerous melodramas. Comes with 200-page booklet with a detailed essay by Dr. Michael Wersin and numerous photos and documents, some of them unpublished, from the archives of Deutsche Grammophon, the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin and private collections.
