BENJAMIN APPL baritone JAMES BAILLIEU piano

"His singing reached so many people and he touched their hearts with the art of song. For me he was more than just a teacher. Thank you, Dieter." Benjamin Appl

For millions, the German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (1925-2012) was one of the greatest singers of modern times. But for Artist in Residence Benjamin Appl he was a hero, a mentor, and – above all – a friend. Crafted from Appl’s personal memories, and incorporating letters, readings and anecdotes from Fischer-Dieskau’s incredible career, this is a song recital with an extraordinary difference: an intensely personal tribute from a brilliant young singer to the artist who changed his life.
