I do not dislike FD, in fact I like and admire him but sometimes I
think he is too rational. I prefer singers who "just sing" like Prey
and Wunderlich. BTW, I asked the question for the favourtie Winterreise
on the Lieder-List, too. There Hotter/Moore is No. 1 (8 mentions),
followed by Fischer-Dieskau/Moore (6), then Fassbaender/Reimann and
Fischer-Dieskau/Brendel (5). A third FD version (with Demus) got 4
mentions. So the "experts" know that FD is a Lieder god.
