The DG CD recommended by Brian also includes a fantastic 1967 Dichterliebe with Demus.

The CD is widely available in Europe, but in the US the only reasonably priced ($10 + $3 shipping) source is Ariama, who is back-ordered.

Weissenborn is very beautiful. I copied it from a public library along with a Dichterliebe (also with Weissenborn) from the same era which is just great as well. This is just one of DFD's many recordings that I love.

Thank you, Dietrich, for giving us so much in a long, booze & nicotine-filled -- but I hope satisfying -- life.

There are several Amazon sellers who appear to be selling this CD (see link below).

I'm pretty sure that this is the 1957 recording, not 1967. I have it on DG Original Masters set.

  The Kerner-Lieder with Weissenborn are from the mid Fifties and mono. They show the thirty-something singer at his considerable vocal peak.
  
  The "Dichterliebe" with Demus is indeed from 1967 and in stereo.

    The F-D, Jorge Demus Dichterliebe was recorded in 1965 and has been released several times on DG, the latest now on "Eloquence" coupled with his amazing Brahms on this two disc set. The Brahms recordings are new to CD. Yes, they're still mining the huge F-D recording legacy.

One of the greatest lieder singers of the 20th century, and outstanding in opera as well. Also, his 1958 Beethoven 9th with Ferenc Fricsay is truly electrifying. Great dramatic presence, great voice.
