Lecture & Listening Session with Thomas Hampson
Voice, Spirit, Taste

Lecture with Natasha Loges
Prerequisites and Consequences of a Career of the Century

Short Impulse & Discussion with Julian Prégardien
Out of the Museum - into Practice?

100 years of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau: His career lasted around fifty years. He left behind around 400 recordings. In addition to numerous opera roles, his repertoire included several thousand songs. It is not the numbers that make Fischer-Dieskau, who was born in Berlin on May 28, 1925, the figure of the century, but the immense influence that his singing still exerts today.
Thomas Hampson will use selected favorite recordings to illuminate the extraordinary vocal prerequisites of Fischer-Dieskau's art and career. Natasha Loges examines the aesthetic, social, political and technological parameters that once shaped the singer's artistic identity. Julian Prégardien's main focus is on the future: songs can bring people together for whom the singer of the century is completely unknown, as Prégardien found out during his highly acclaimed "Liedstadt" project.

The Liedakademie events at Liedfestival can also be booked as a Liedakademie pass. Admission is free for students, trainees and school pupils (access by booking a free ticket).
