Thomas Edmonds - "Dichterliebe" Op. 48 (Schumann) 1986

Robert Schumann's best-known song cycle "Dichterliebe" has texts for its sixteen songs from the Lyrisches Intermezzo by Heinrich Heine, written in 1822-23 and published as part of Heine's "Das Buch der Lieder." On the occasion of the 10th Anniversary of ABC Classic FM, the distinguished Australian tenor, Thomas Edmonds, performed it with pianist Peter Tillett from Studio 520 in Collingwood - February 2nd 1986.
Thomas Edmonds, began his singing studies in Australia in 1960 and, in 1970, continued both singing and education studies in England and Europe. His operatic roles, both in Australia and internationally (including performances at the Royal Opera Covent Garden and the Edinburgh Festival and much concert work for the BBC) included the full gamut of musical styles from Baroque to the most modern compositions - along with operetta, Gilbert & Sullivan and musicals. Edmonds won eight successive "Showcase" TV series Grand Finals (beginning with "Showcase 68"), in which he won both the judges' vote and the television viewers' vote. He received a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 1982 and was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the 1987 Queen's Birthday Honours. In April 2024, Thomas Edmonds celebrated his 90th birthday and released his memoirs - "Ev'ry Valley - A Tenor's Journey"
