Pronuncia a parte, la voce di W. si dimostra una delle più belle di tutto il mondo della lirica.

I am a great fan of Fritz Wunderlich, but I am unhappy to listen to this canzone. He probably tried to sing like Italian tenor, and by doing this his virtue, delicacy, was lost. Pronunciation also is imperfect.

Hermoso!

@ykob36 Shame that this recording could make anyone 'unhappy'. To listen to this and criticize the diction is to miss the point: a sublime voice with a spirit to match. There has not been another tenor nearly as great in range or vocal beauty since.

I don't think, he tried to sound like Lanza. In this canzone, he sings unusual, but with an surprising energy. And yes, he sings (despite the pronounciation) like an italian tenor. How sadly, he had so much potential to be the greatest, the finest tenor. This song is, in my opinion, a positive surprise.

@chaiter1 You said "here he is trying to sound like Lanza". Whether he should or shouldn't, just listen to the "a" in "vestita" and you may find something that you will also find in his Wiener Lieder interpretations.

Fritz Wunderlich, todo lo canta bien, porque tiene una gran voz, una técnica depurada y transmite emotividad superlativa.

@NaegaJayo Thats what happens when one doesn't read the comment or is too young to read through.What did I say? I said Wunderlich should' not try to sound like Lanza. But since you don't have the patience to read through you immediately shoot and don't try to understand. Since your musical expeience is vastly larger than mine...(not counting the fact I can be your father by age...) you are fast to comment.Learn to think before drawing.

@chaiter1 Lanza? Obviously you're not a musician, else you would know that no trained tenor would try to sound like Lanza.

Although I do wish someone had told him what the word "carezza" meant before doing the recording. His "carezza" kind of gives you the same impression as Sweeney Todd would do when caressing people's necks with his razor blade! ;-)

[chaiter1]

Here he is trying too much to sound like Lanza.... pity because he should have stuck to his original voice production.

@goodboybuddy1 I agree with you. It's nice to see this Germanic gentleman 'get out of his system' and take on a more expressive attitude for a change. And God bless his soul for singing in Italian this time! His German versions have always kept from fully enjoying his unique voice to the fullest.
