realy ...he is the greatest voice, so beautiful and warm and deep touching!!!!!!!!!!!!wonderful man and amazing singer!!!!!!!!!!!! Also in haven ..... I know!
Fantastic tenor. He left us too soon! The Bach-Gounod is such a favorite of mine, that to hear Wunderlich sing it is absolute beauty. Thank you for posting this!
Great voice but comparisons to Caruso and Tucker are useless as Fritz and Bjorling where basically lyric tenors and Caruso and Tucker where spinto's very different voice types and sang different roles also. Bjorling was a lyric spinto so he did sing some spinto roles and Wunderlich would most likely had also if lived past 35 but all you can compare with different voice types is technique not the voices themselves, it's comparing a sports car to a big sedan, wrong Compare lyrics to lyrics etc.
@wiseoldfart I never heard Fritz live in house so a real accurate remark cannot be made as too the size and squillo just as you never heard Jussi and Tucker live or FW. JB was no Caruso in voice type, sure as great an artist but not the same type, lyric opposed to a Spinto. Tucker was the closest in sound over JB by all those who heard all 3 in house whether you like him or not and nobody can stop him from being the one they will always remember as the greatest American Caruso.
STOP GOING BY ONLY HEAD PHONES, You did not hear JB or RT in House. Shicoff had squillo I never heard on recording but in house was amazing in his prime, tons of it and Tucker could give ring more then on any record. Bjorling in house had a smaller voice like Bergonzi and most Lyric tenors compared to recordings live or on record. JB had a more silver white sound then Wunderlich, I never heard FW. live or on recording. JB had a wide Vibrato at times on top- some like it, I don't like that.
@wiseoldfart I have to tell you as you never heard Caruso in house or Tucker or JB or in fact Wunderlich in house but I am 70 and heard JB in house and Tucker and my Grandparents heard Caruso 3 times and yes How the hell do you know what he sounded like in house at all-- he recorded on shit equipment in 104 etc. Tucker had modern recordings by comparison and my grandfather an avid opera goer from age 21 in 1901 till he died at 100 in 1980 heard them all and and Tucker live was similar to EC
@wiseoldfart the only thing Jussi had in common with Fritz was they both where lyric tenors and had Fritz lived I think he would have sung some of the roles Jussi sang but later in his 40's when the voice was in his prime but he died at age 35 and never got to his 40's and prime age, Fritz for me was wonderful . Tragic loss and what would have been? Had to get only better with his technique. I never heard him, sadly, wish I did. I did heard JB --- As usual gay tenor makes some good points.
Warm and beautiful . He had a very warm sound and in fact was warmer as far as that goes then the very great Jussi who is brought up so often in comparison as to the voice.
@SHICOFF1 Yes, I can hear the difference between the two in my headphones. My computer speakers don't bring out the warmth in Wunderlich's voice, but my high end headphones do. I like Fritz, but Bjorling amazes me more than anyone but Caruso, especially in his 1904 recordings.
Ach - was ich noch sagen wollte: Gounod hat diese wunderschöne Arie auf Bach´s "wohltemperiertes Klavier"aufgebaut. Somit ist es mehr als "Johann Sbastian Bach´s Ave Maria bekannt!
Great voice! The closest thing to Bjorling I've heard to date. I can easily pick Bjorling's voice out of a crowd of great tenors until you put Wunderlich's voice in there. They both have that little extra timbre and smoothness the other great tenors lack. I have to include Wunderlich in my list of top five tenors. Caruso had a very different style, but was able to convey emotion like no other. Corelli had a great voice and stage presentation. Pav was good, but not quite as good as the above.
@wiseroldfart If you cannot tell the difference between Jussi Bjorling and Fritz Wunderlich I finally understand why your opinions are so very, very bad.your tone deaf. Instead of being the trolling idiot I thought you were you must have a serious hearing disability perhaps you should seek medical advice before you post anymore opinions on you tube unless, that is, you want to discourse on the Simpsons.
@gaytenor I can tell the difference with headphones, especially after hearing more of both of them. I had a hard time with my speakers because their vibratos are somewhat similar in the high notes. Wunderlich has a somewhat sweeter voice than the steely Bjorling. Both of these guys are a notch better than Tucker, by the way. Why don't you go listen to Tucker and tell us again how much he sounds like Caruso. They sound MUCH less alike than Bjorling and Wunderlich. Tucker is no match for Caruso!
@wiseroldfart You are a total idiot!! How can you compare a very small voiced lyric tenor, Wunderlich, with the large spinto voice of Tucker!! Are you nuts referring to Bjorling's voice as 'steely' I'm sure his family would love to read your opinion on Bjorling's tonal quality your trolling putz. As an example of how absolute your dumbness can be I point out that their vibratos are not alike at all. Bjorling was known for the brazen freedom in the upper register while Wunderlich's can be tight.
@gaytenor 'wiseoldfart's comments are embarrassing ME, much less him! It's insane how someone who knows so little about the voice can try to pass himself off as an expert. Voice aside, Bjorling and Wunderlich used completely different methods of tonal production! Bjorling's high notes were 'voix mixte' and released, Wunderlich sang in his top register 'di petto'.
@GermanOperaSinger His comments are embarrassing You Tube already and that is not easy. His remarks about my homosexuality on another post demonstrate that he isn't a brain surgeon or a decent human being. If this troll has any redeeming quality its that he actually seems to like a couple of singers. Probably as a function of their language all Swedish singers I've heard have an unusual degree of freedom above the stave. Gedda, for example, has the same brazen freedom, only moreso, as Bjorling.
@GermanOperaSinger I don't think there was a huge difference between their ways of approaching the high register as they both sang with an engaged chest voice. Though I will say that I think Bjorling had more released high notes, that bloomed in a way that Wunderlich's high notes only did occasionally.
This is beautiful, but sung too heavily dragging the pitch off center at some notes toward the end of the piece. This is approached in the typical schmaltz method of singing characteristic of Wunderlich. He was undoubtably one of the greatest singers of his age, but he does not surpass Pavarotti at this piece in, any way.
Man kann das Lied anders singen, sicher, keine Frage, Tempo... Akzentuierung, Betonung, usw.. Aber besser singen wird es nie jemand können, das steht fest!
Nothing compares to his version, not even Pavarotti. Wunderlich conveys all the thrill, the emotion, Pavarotti is mainly about technique... Thanks for posting !!
Could this be the best male version I've ever heard? I think so.
Fritz Wunderlich's voice is captivating! Had kind of a "love at first hearing" impact on me with his "Il mio tesoro". And his recordings are in a curiously perfect quality!
@RoyKa2010 Not only could-he is,from my point of view, the superior one.The world of music is full of sugar covered versions ,but his voice is beauty itself,isn´t it?
Eine der größten Stimmen des letzten Jahrtausends, ein wunderbarer Tenor, es ist schade das ich zu jung bin um ihn mal Live erlebt zu haben. aber was bleibt sind diese wunderbaren Aufnahmen :)
