Recorded in the presence of Carl Orff, the 1968 performance of his masterpiece, O’Fortuna, is one of my favorite musical recordings. In one of the most powerful performances of the piece, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau arguably provides the best baritone performance of any recording of O’Fortuna to date.
Here’s a sample:
“II In Taberna / Estuans Interius”

Despite the awesomeness of this performance, Dietrich Fishcher-Dieskau’s more famous work revolves around Franz Schubert’s work, especially Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise.
