He is widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists of all time. He was also a writer, philanthropist, Hungarian nationalist, and Franciscan tertiary. Die Loreley is perhaps one of Liszt’s most famous lieder... It is set to poetry written by Heinrich Heine. is the song’s first version, for voice and piano. But Liszt shall always be Liszt, and thus, he also made arrangements for piano (in the Buch der Lieder I, ), mezzo-soprano or tenor voice and piano (), and even for voice and orchestra ()! Die Loreley is, perhaps, one of my favorite songs, and here, I’ve provided two interpretations: that of Diana Damrau (voice) with Helmut Deutsch (piano), and that of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (voice) with Daniel Barenboim (piano).
