Known throughout the world for his stirring performance as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, Fisher’s career began in his native country Israel. After three years of service in the Israel defense forces, Fisher studied at the Tel Aviv academy of music and studied privately with some of the great cantors of the previous generation. He was only 22 when he was invited to become the Cantor of the Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv. Fisher also traveled throughout the world, bringing traditional Hassidic, Yiddish and Cantorial music to new audiences.

During his long career, Fisher has recorded 38 albums. He sang the role of Moses in the Hebrew version of Stephen Spielberg's The Prince of Egypt. He has sung with the Israel philharmonic orchestra, recorded an album of show tunes with the London symphony orchestra and has performed as well with the Baltimore and Queens symphony orchestras.
