FORMAT (CD, LP, DVD?)
The German singer Fritz Wunderlich has gone down in history as one of the most popular of all lyric tenors. The music presented in this 10-CD set features Wunderlich in recordings that come from the late 1950s, several of which have been gathered together here for the first time. They feature him as soloist in performances in Haydn’s “The Seasons” and “Mass in Time of War”, Bach’s “B Minor Mass”, “Easter Oratorio”, and “Christmas Oratorio”, and Handel’s “Messiah”.
Although revered as an operatic tenor in the grand tradition, it was the sacred music of the pre-classical masters that shaped Fritz Wunderlich’s vocal and artistic development early in his career, and the repertoire of that period remained important to him throughout his career. Thanks to South German Radio, Stuttgart (today merged with Radio Baden-Baden to become the SWR) we have a considerable number of recordings of such works that were made between the years 1955-60. Some of the best of these are gathered together here for the first time in this 10-CD box set to form a major part of the legacy of this great singer.
