I am submitting these two interpretations of Doppelgaenger, both valid in my opinion, even if different

Fischer-Dieskau:

Richard Morrison:

Dieskau sings everything slowly and with very deliberate pronunciation, among other things with long unstressed consonants (especially the aspirated ones); in short, he seeks his expression this way and, as always, his motto is solidity.

Morrison, on the other hand, adheres more closely to the score, performs a beautiful crescendo and a true accelerando at the end; in short, he is more modern, and listen to that final high note, how beautiful.

What do you think?

I know both of them, I prefer Fischer-Dieskau. Everything is very well legato, great vocal control and much more wordplay. Morrison is not bad, but the two high notes on the "a" around 2'20'' don't please me at all, even the one a few seconds later, around 2':45'', also on the "a", isn't very beautiful.
