Having studied with one and been friends with the other, both of these
artists considered themselves baritones. Artists are rarely responsible
for how they are billed; ask any mezzo how many times she's been billed as
a soprano.

Someone earlier mentioned Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as a bass-baritone: I
have never seen him billed as such either.
