Fritz Wunderlich - Schumann - Dichterliebe - Beethoven & Schubert - Lieder (1995/2017) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

"… (Wunderlich) sang with a supernal sweetness and crystalline clarity that made his account one for the ages …"
- The New York Times

"… (Wunderlich's) ringing top A at the end of Ich grolle nicht is the most thrilling sound on any Dichterliebe recording. His is a performance of unsurpassed liquid beauty and for that alone we should be grateful … gorgeous, freely produced tone and scrupulous diction …"
- Gramophone

"The way (Wunderlich) sings German music is so wonderful, what he does with the words. The beauty, evenness of the line and colour is remarkable. And the way he finesses each of his phrases means it doesn't seem like he's ever having trouble with anything. His voice feels free and open. It feels like he's at home to me."
- BBC Music Magazine

Tenor Fritz Wunderlich is accompanied by pianist Hubert Giesen on this highly-praised vintage album recorded at the Academy of Music in Munich in 1965. In addition to the titular Schumann work, the programme also includes Lieder by Schubert and Beethoven. Wunderlich was only 35 when he recorded this, less than a year before his tragic accidental death.

"Amongst all the singers I have played with during 50 years, there was only one whom I really loved like a son: Fritz Wunderlich. Our friendship began late and it ended just three and a half years later due to Wunderlich's sudden death, that, it is no exaggeration to say, shook the whole world of music severely."
- Hubert Giesen
