The great lieder singer, Hans Hotter, just passed away. If you have never heard his Schubert song cycles, you should give them a try -- a richer, deeper response than Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's (whose versions are in every other respect incomparable). His Wagner work was fine too, but the Schubert lieder (Die Winterreise in particular) are his legacy.

yours,

Peter T.
