Celebrity Song Recital – Homage to Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau Benjamin Appl - Baritone, James B

For millions of people, the German baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (1925-2012) was one of the greatest singers of modern times. But for Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra 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.
