I have an old LP of Brahms lieder sung by Peter Schreier and accompanied by Peter Rosel (Eurodisc recorded 1975 in Dresden). Schreier gives a sensitive interpretation in a perfectly idiomatic, elegant style. It is certainly among the best lieder recording for any voice, although some may find Schreier's tenor a little cold.
