Schubert is a person known as the "King of Music" in the history of music. Many people have heard of his name, but his fame seems to be inferior to that of the genius Mozart and the all-round Beethoven, but Schubert's contribution to the entire classical music is very huge, although his classical music is not so familiar to many music fans.

The German baritone Fischer Diskau can be said to be a loyal servant of German art songs. The total number of art song records he recorded in his life can reach hundreds, ranging from Bach, Mozart, Schubert , Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Liszt, to Richard Strauss and Mahler, almost everyone has recorded every baritone art song at least once. The depth of the ink can be said to be a concrete manifestation of the spirit of German ancient craftsmen. With the spirit of hard work and never wasting time, he found a self-sufficient world in art, completely free from the temptation of modern mass entertainment: day after day, year after year, he immersed himself in the art of his choice and specialization. The rewards of hard work are the exquisiteness and perfect presentation of the art in one's hands, as well as the respect of older colleagues in the music industry and the inspiration for future generations. An interpreter like Fischer Diskau must have Goethe's literary quality, Schubert's musical connotation, plus the tirelessness of engineering technicians and the truth-seeking spirit of modern scientists. At the same time, he must also have a certain The combination of a naturally good singing voice, training in vocational schools, and the opportunities of the times meant that from the first day of the recording industry in the 20th century, only one person was destined to emerge. And this sole burden and honor chose to fall on Fisher Diskau.

Fisher Diskau recorded five copies of Schubert's "Swan Song" during his lifetime. This recording was the earliest one completed, and it is also the most special because it is the only one. This single-note recording was also his first collaboration with pianist Moore

;

At the same time, this recording was made from his seven years from 1951 to 1958. It is a collection of works recorded in the studio many times over the years, rather than recorded in one go. The reason for this situation is that most scholars in the 1950s did not think that Swan Song was a collection of songs, so there were no singers to sing and record the entire album. As Fisher Diskow was twenty-six years old at the time, he sang this set of songs to describe the portrayal of a young man's lovelorn mood. In his enthusiasm, he revealed a kind of respect and mastery of his singing skills, which made the whole performance even more exciting. Worth collecting.
