Benjamin Appl on working with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When people ask me about what I learned from Fischer-Dieskau, that\u2019s what I always come back to: of course I could say a hundred things about technique and his reputation, but what I found most inspiring was how he created everything afresh. Whenever he was teaching he\u2019d prepare for days, learning the music off-copy again so that he knew every detail without needing to use the score. He\u2019d ask so many questions about harmonies, about the poet\u2019s background and situation, and I think that\u2019s the sign of a great artist: to dig deep, and not to deliver a performance but to create it from scratch every time.<\/p>K.
