Fischer Dieskau

How do you pronounce these opera singer’s names?

These are probably really obvious, but I’ve never heard them pronounced before, and I’m not quite sure how to pronounce them.

Ok, I’l give it my best shot… Maybe I could send you an MP3 of me saying them….

Zinka rhymes wtih “stink uh”. Mill uh nawff (or nawv, I have heard both)

Gyawrgyoo

Bee do sah yow

dee trick (the last sound is the German sound of “ich”, think cat hissing) fisher, just like English. Dees cow

Edda as you think it would be, Mow zer

Hope that helps!
