In my New Yorker column last week — on Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Christian Gerhaher, and Florian Boesch — I mentioned the last-named singer's cover of Tom Waits's "Take It with Me." The video is above. (Boesch has presented a program in which he combines Waits's songs with Schumann's.) Also, I never got around to linking to this blog post on the New Yorker website, in which I attempt to give a brief overview of Fischer-Dieskau's recordings, and pick a few personal favorites.
