About the artist Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

Born in Berlin on 28 May 1925, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau began his vocal training with Georg Walter at the age of 16. On graduating from high-school in 1943, Fischer-Dieskau was drafed into the German army before being captured by the Americans and spending time in a Prisoner-of-War camp in Italy. After the war, Fischer-Dieskau resumed his studies with Hermann Weißenborn at the Berlin Musikhochschule, making his opera debut as Posa in Verdi’s Don Carlos at the Städtische Oper, Berlin. He went on to receive awards such as the Kunstpreis Berlin, the Légion d’Honneur, Freedom of the city of Berlin and an Honorary doctorate from Heidelberg University. Fischer-Dieskau ended his singing career in 1992 to concentrate on his work as a reciter, a conductor and painter.
