Und es blitzen sterne(E Lucevan Le Stelle) Fritz Wunderlich

[papafoxtrott]

selbstverständlich ist das Wunderlich! Das ist wohl nicht zu verkennen!

[Felixelio]

Quelle sublime interprétation ! La langue allemande se prête si bien à la musique de Puccini..en tous les cas, à cet air !! Quel immense musicien.

[LobsngDmchoi]

Ineffable! Truly and honestly sung! For once this aria is all too brief -- every Puccini tenor should hear this performance to keep himself honest!

[sopranosd]

I had no idea he sang this kind of rep. He sounds gorgeous, singing the aria in his own voice rather than trying to sound all big and dramatico. Makes it sweeter and sensitive. yay

[eurydike]

was fuer eine Intonation:-) unglaublicher Saenger:-))

einer der groessten:-)

[justaprojection]

Not for nothing did Pavarotti call FW the greatest tenor in history. Wunderlich beautifully mastered not only tthe Italian repertoire (sometimes in Italian), but covered the entire range from early music, e.g. Monteverdi (in Italian!), via Bach (he was the ultimate Evangelist) to German Lieder to contemporary opera and popular Viennese and other songs. And he excelled in every field. Totally astounding, and surely unsurpassed. I've never yet heard a mediocre recording in all his vast output.

Was ist das eigentlich für eine blöde Frage???

Also wer diese Stimme nicht wiedererkennt...naja!!!

100 Prozent Wunderlich!!!

[blichilde]

Wunderlich is fantastic, but I just can't appreciate translated opera. Neither Tosca in German, nor Zauberflote and Carmen in Italian.

My two cents.

[phoenix4165]

Superb!!

[spoofsister]

omg, how beautiful. takes my breath away.

[mrsRogue]

Amazingly beautiful voice!

Did he never sing in Italian ? On the other hand, with such a voice he could afford to sing even in German. Sorry I don't mean to offend anyone, it's just that it is my favorite air and I am obviously used to hear it in the original version.

Thank you very much for sharing !

[serenaluce]

I agree! I feel the same!

[ElisabettaVS]

As far as I know, you can also find some italian songs sung by him on youtube. Tosca is my favourite opera and I really like it in German... ^^ Of course, it is a difference to the italian original, but in my opinion, the transcription is well done. Now add Wunderlich's voice and you get a wonderful aria! ^^

[eurydike]

@ElisabettaVS i like it in "his" german:-)))

[serenaluce]

Wonderful interpetation of this aria! Unusual to hear it in German but only in the very beginning. Very, very beautiful and expressive!

[isabelle070209]

Un des plus grands du siècle. Quel malheur qu'il soit mort si jeune.

[funnyguise]

his voice was the only thing that inspired me to continue in music school as a tenor. almost switched majors...

[opernair]

Sind Sie sicher, dass das wirklich Wunderlich ist.

Ich fürchte , nicht.

It is not Wunderlich!

[Kentoo48]

The voice is surely Wunderlich's

[WEANAXIX]

das ist die stimme von Fritz Wunderlich

[Pianda]

That's Wunderlich, and how wonderful, this must be a record from young age!

[Chris1921]

Definitiv und einhundertprozentig Wunderlichs unverwechselbares Timbre.

Definitely him, no doubt about that!

[alyssaathina09]

@opernair : Wie können Sie zweifeln, daß dies Fritz Wunderlich's einzigartige, unverkennbare Stimme ist? Sein besonderes Timbre, die Klarheit seiner Worte - nur wenige konnten ihm das Wasser reichen. Es war tragisch für die Opernwelt, daß er so früh verstarb. Zu seiner Zeit wurde wohl in Deutschland in den Opern Deutsch gesungen, und das tat er in wunderbarer Art und Weise.

[ghersi]

mario lanza brother?

[finnhere2]

Wunderlich really had a wunderschön voice... Too bad the music world lost him all too soon.

[luciano1935]

sin duda uno de los mejores

[jbrown91287]

ABSOLUTELY RIVETING! One of the best voices of time.

[pearlmuth3]

His voice was the greatest lyric tenor of his time and one of the best of all time

[tomfroekjaer]

Terrific ! Thank you.
