  • For all his wonderful singing, MOZART is where Wunderlich rules ALL! NO ONE ever sang Mozart better....the legato, so essential for this composer, is incredible, and then he so easily moves the voice, as though all those notes weren't even there....and yet you hear every one.

  • What blows me away is how his voice just opens up in parts where other lyric tenors are gasping for breathe. I've never heard a tenor with such control, ring, size and lyricism all at the same time and all seemingly effortless. I so wish I could have been alive when he was around. He seems like such a nice person in his doco too!

  • Superb.

  • So far there are 196 likes and 1 dislike. One wonders about the sanity and auditory faculties of the person who disliked it. How could one possibly fault this performance vocally? Perhaps he could done a bit more in the p-ppp dynamic range -- the aria does have an introspective element. The set and staging per se were a little boring, but these are the quibbles of a cranky Beckmesser. WHAT SINGING! WHAT BREATH CONTROL! WHAT DICTION!

  • Solo es comparable con la tecnica de Alfredo Kraus.

  • Er ist zu jung gestorben... eine wunderbare Stimme und ein wunderbaren Mensch!

  • @danawinsor I agree his technique is beyond perfect.

  • @RossiniSoprano -- I couldn't agree more. BTW -- have you listened to Elizabeth Parcells singing Mozart's Exultate?  If you love Mozart, you are in for a treat.

  • If ever there was a singer that one could learn to sing just by watching (& listening) it would be, in my opinion, Herr Wunderlich. Surely the most beautiful tenor voice on recording (with Bjorling a close 2nd or a tie).

  • @Aetion echt?

  • @Kunsterfreut Doch, sie kannte ihn. Ich hatte sie im Kranzler gesehen Kafee trinken! :-)

  • @Aetion but mario lanza sang when wunderlich wasnt even on stage...so callas didnt know wunderlich^^
