Product Information
On 28 May 2025, the great baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau would have been 100 years old. To mark the occasion, Deutsche Grammophon releases his performance of Handel’s secular cantata Apollo e Dafne, an album that has not yet entered the digital supply chain. On the album, Fischer-Dieskau is accompanied by members of the Berliner Philarmoniker, augmented by harpsichord, lute and viola da gamba. Günter Weissenborn, Fischer-Dieskau’s long-time piano accompanist, conducts the chamber ensemble with an astonishing knowledge of historical performance practice.
The full album is released digitally.
