[78-L] Deitrich Fischer-Diskau

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

I have some of those vinyl 78s, Bernstein plays Ravel Concerto in G.

If we are going to list those who COULD be alive today (except for dying 
earlier) William Kapell made 78s. Had he not perished in a plane crash 
he would be 90.

I don't believe Abbey Simon made any 78s, but he is still playing at 90.

In my experience, he is the last, or one of the last remaining classical artists who made 78s, (and here I mean actually cut 78 rpm records, not tape recordings which were subsequently dubbed to 78 - and I can't even think of anyone who did that who's still alive).  A very knowledgeable acquaintance has said the Kurt Masur made 78s but I can find no evidence of that.
