When the Student Becomes the Teacher

Watching a young Christine Schäfer receive a master class with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau it is easy to see how this student would one day become one of the great interpreters of German lied.
"Auch kleine Dinge koennen uns entzuecken" Italienisches Liederbuch (Wolf)

"Auf der Straße stand ein Lindenbaum" Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen (Mahler)


Sample Schäfer singing some Schumann and Schubert after the jump.


"Im wundershönen Monat Mai" Dichterliebe (Schumann)


"Gute nacht" Winterreise (Schubert)


"Mignon und der Harfner" (Schubert) with John Mark Ainsley
