  • Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Polar Music Prize Laureate 2005 Fischer
    Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Polar Music Prize Laureate 2005 Fischer-Dieskau´s talent for music was manifest at an early age. He took piano lessons and started to study singing in 1941 with Prof. Georg A. Walter. The following year he became a student of Prof. Hermann Weissenborn at the College of Music in Berlin. His first public appearance took place in 1942 at the church hall in Berlin- Zehlendorf, where he sang Schubert´s Winterreise with interruptions for air-raid warnings. After graduating from high school in 1943 he was called up for military service and spent the time until 1947 as a prisoner of war in Italy. There he continued with his singing studies on his own. He resumed his studies with Prof. Weissenborn during the years 1947-48. His real career as a singer began in 1947 when, without prior rehearsal, he substituted for a soloist who had taken ill, in Brahms´ “Ein Deutsches Requiem” in Badenweiler. His official debut as a singer took place in the autumn of 1947 with a song recital in Leipzig, and shortly after that he made a successful appearance at the Titania Palace in Berlin. In the same year he made his first phonograph recording of “Winterreise”. In the autumn of 1948 he was engaged as a lyric baritone at the Städtische Oper in Berlin, where his first appearance, as Posa in Verdi´s opera “Don Carlos” under the baton of Ferenc Fricsay, aroused a great deal of public attention. Then there were guest performances at the opera houses in Vienna and Munich, and from 1951 on also in England, Holland, Switzerland, France and Italy.
