The partnership between English pianist, Moore, born in 1899,and German baritone, Fischer-Dieskau, is immortalised in their 1951 recordings of Schubert lieder.
At that time these romantic piano songs were considered old-fashioned and likely to be of interest only to German-speaking audiences. Working in a highly-sensitive collaboration and playing to world-wide audiences, Moore and FIscher-Dieskau broke down these prejudices and brought the genre back into international esteem.
In his work with Fischer-Dieskau, Moore is recognised as not only an accompanist, but as an equally intrepretative artist.
