Yesterday would (and should!) have been his 80th birthday. I spent it listening online to a 1966 live concert on BR Klassik & tomorrow morning they're playing this Traviata complete. I had the miraculous good luck to see his Don Ottavio in Munich just a few weeks before his death, and he's been my desert island singer ever since. I'm the only person I know who ever heard FW live--and to think I almost went to a movie that night instead!

@eurydike Yes, it's sad. 40 more years of work may be too much, but he could have very well been with us, like dear Dame Sutherland and Mr. Gedda, both almost 5 yeas older than him. "What would have been" will remain a gnawing curiosity about Wunderlich for many opera lovers. sigh!

you may be right. and when i imagine he could live today, he died in such a stupid accident. He could have lived till today, and what he would have sung, recorded if he had 40 additional years to live and work:-) it is such a pity. such a loss for music.

@isabelle070209 Windgassen?????

bravo!

This is probably from the live performance (available on CD) with the Bavarian State Opera ? Stratas' Violetta is beautiful and dramatic, even if not traditional in sound. She has a marvelous voice too and Fritz is remarkable as Alfredo. I think this is just how the Brindisi ought to sound! I love it.

Les deux meilleurs ténors: Windgassen et Wunderlich.

Why Baum? He doesn't belong in that list, in my opinion.

He had the most beautiful lyric tenor of his time and one of the best of all time and for me more beautiful then Pav. Jose C and warmer then Bjorling. We will never know how much greater he would have been had he not died before his prime (1930-1966) He was a great artist who sang everything so well.

So true, so true. But I disagree on one point: in my opinion, he sounded a lot more Italiante than Germanic... He had that whole chiaroscuro thing going on.
