Anthony Tommasini, NY Times, concludes: "Even better is a documentary by Bruno Monsaingeon, 'Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau: Autumn Journey,' with archival and up-to-date footage of a master at work in his many trades.
"Besides making music, he wrote about it: insightful, accessible books about the lives and music of great composers, including Schubert and Schumann. He was a widely exhibited painter, too, known especially for his portraits.
"Of the many tributes he received over the decades, perhaps none was more heartfelt than that of the British music critic John Amis:
'Providence gives to some singers a beautiful voice, to some musical artistry, to some (let us face it) neither, but to Fischer-Dieskau Providence has given both. The result is a miracle, and that is just about all there is to be said about it. Having used a few superlatives and described the program, there is nothing else to do but write "finis," go home, and thank one's stars for having had the good luck to be present.' " - Anthony Tommasini.
