I was able to hear Fischer Dieskau twice in recital and once on stage (as Mandryka) during the early Sixties, in Munich.
I think his greatest singing is preserved on a Schumann recital with Guenther Weissenborn, available in the US as a Decca LP and recently reissued on CD along with other songs on DGG. "High Fidelity" magazine included the vinyl disc in its "Greatest Recordings of the Century" (published in 1961), and I heartily concur.
I also enjoyed his opera singing on record, even the blustery "Falstaff" under Bernstein, the only performance to equal or surpass those by Toscanini and de Sabata.
Great man, great singer, great artist.
