Duets from six countries<\/p>\n
Duette aus sechs l\u00e4ndern is the title of this record, which soprano Victoria de los \u00c1ngeles (1923-2005) and baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (1925-2012) recorded in Berlin in the first days of December 1960\u2014a year when both Victoria and Dietrich were at the height of their international careers. Born in Barcelona in 1923, Victoria de los \u00c1ngeles had already been triumphing for a decade on the world\u2019s leading stages, especially in the United States and, more specifically, at New York\u2019s Metropolitan Opera House, where she would develop most of her principal roles. She would make her Bayreuth Festival debut the year after this recording, in 1961, as Elisabeth in Wagner\u2019s Tannh\u00e4user, and she still had a very long recital career ahead of her that would take her to the threshold of the 21st century. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, born in Berlin two years after Victoria, was at the start of the 1960s in full ascent, singing operatic roles mainly at the Deutsche Oper Berlin\u2014where he had debuted as Posa (Don Carlo) in 1948\u2014the Bavarian State Opera and the Vienna State Opera. It had been only five years since he had debuted in New York with a Winterreise alongside Gerald Moore, and from 1954 to 1961 he would appear regularly at Bayreuth, where he would also perform with Victoria in 1961. <\/p>\n
Beyond these thrilling operatic careers, both Victoria and Dietrich never stopped cultivating song, the Lied\u2014perhaps the most intimate expression of lyric art, the one most closely tied to its origins\u2014and of which they remain, to this day, together with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, absolute benchmarks. On this lieder journey that was their career, the three artists benefited from the tireless collaboration of Gerald Moore, with whom they forged an artistic and personal rapport that is more than evident. In this approach, music is what matters most, without ego or display, sharing the spotlight fifty-fifty with the accompanist, and with an interpretative rigor of which this record is an invaluable legacy. The Victoria de los \u00c1ngeles Foundation has chosen to reissue this record on vinyl on the occasion of LIFE Victoria 2018, so that this musical testimony remains alive and inspires future generations. To Music. <\/p>\n
