![]() Rating: - Wonderful resource.This is a great resource for anyone who is working with lieder written by one of the greatest leid singers of the 20th Cent. Rating: - A book for Lieder students and fansI sing in a church choir and have been taking voice lessons for about 18 months. I walked into my next voice lesson with this book and the teacher that was just leaving said "That's a great book! I use it all the time." If you do not speak German it is a good reference to learn lyrics. If you are a fan, then having this book saves you from having to pull out the booklets from your Matthias Goerne CD cases:) DF-D wrote an excellent 17 page intro, but did not do the translations.

My collection includes the song texts in German, but, alas, does not have English translations. I needed to know something of the texts and thus turned to "The Fischer-Dieskau Book of Lieder", first published in 1976 and recently reissued. This book includes the original texts and English translations of 750 songs, including, of course, many texts set by Brahms. The book does not include all the songs in my compiliation, ...

Important cycles by Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Wolff, Mahler etc. are given in their entirety. The translation, ... Read More Rating: - An indespensible resource for singers, pianists.offers english (poetic not literal) translations of many german lieder texts neglected in other resources such as "word by word translations of songs and arias." indespensible resource for singers, pianists, and others interested in lieder who do not speak german. includes the greater portion of texts set by Schubert, Wolf, Schumann, etc. also includes texts set by more modern or obscure composers, e.g. Peter Cornelius, Clara Schumann, etc. a book that needed to be written.
