Wunderlich sings Richard Strauss Barcarole op. 17 no. 6. Munich 1965. Ludwig Kutsche , piano

[@franzwallner4281]

Die schönste Stimme aller Zeiten .... Danke, Fritz.

[@gerdawendl3842]

So wunderbar und klar, göttlich gesungen! Danke!

[@einherzundeineseele]

Es ist immer ein herrlicher genuss dieser Stimme zu lauschen. Ein Tenor, der so natürlich sang, wie es eine Stimme vermag, sofern Herz und Seele dabei mitschwingt. Warum musste der begnadetes tenor so früh aus dem Leben scheiden. Ein Verlust für alle, die ein Faible für die menschliche Stimme haben.

[@20dty]

Unglaublich! Unaussprechlich großartig. 🙏

[@inga0840]

[@operadog2000]

A voice of pure beauty.

[@vanessadiel4523]

perfection of Romantic Lieder interpretation .. We dramatically miss Wunderlich

[@m.joanhay522]

An incomparable Fritz Wunderlich…a voice for the ages, one of a kind!

[@coostunes9733]

I don't know if there is such an entity as the "perfect singer", but if there is, it has to be Fritz Wunderlich!

[@EcceHumanitatis]

So delightful!

[@07elisheba]

Schön! I've not heard anyone make German sound so smooth & melodic as he.

[@LaurasLastDitch]

My favorite singer! Thanks for posting!

[@Scott272Rose]

Das ist was einmaliges!

[@bravaLiz]

CANNOT BELIEVE I FOUND THIS! WHAT A TREASURE!!!!! Love it!!!!!!

[@alepeccia]

I can't stop watching these vids... it's a mystery, and a miracle. Unvergessen :_(

[@sbodenharry]

What a wonderful performance

[@stellaweng3560]

It doesn't have the look of being rehearsed. He's reading the lyrics and turning pages! Yet he sings with great ease over a wide range. He amazes me.

[@julioverne579]

it just came natural to him...

[@igorazem]

Thanks for posting! Love Fritz!

[@RossiniSoprano]

Bello, bello, bello!

[@alepeccia]

Thank yoooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Precious

[@justaprojection]

One last thing - if you really want to know about their relationship, listen to the interview with Prey's widow on the Life and Legend DVD (bonus section) (e.g. Prey would sometimes deliberately flirt with FW's wife Eva just to wind him up "because he knew he could get to Fritz that way".) The two couples were close friends, not just the two guys.

[@tenorschofield]

WUNDER SCHONE!!!

[@TheVibrisseTrio]

Meraviglioso

[@henkmueller2550]

Süser 2.01, unglaubliche natürliche höhe

[@Pianda]

this is not Hubert Giesen, that´s what I know. Hubi looks different and learned to know Fritz only later. Above is written, that the piano-man, that played this Lied is Ludwig Kutsche.

[@paulostroff99]

@paulostroff99 -Jorge Bolet was the name of the Cuban. pianist. You can also add the name of Van Cliburn.to your rapidly expanding list .There are many others.

[@MrAristaeus]

Just a little observation: look at his shoulders! They NEVER rise as he takes in his breath, regardless of the length of the preceding phrase. Also, the jaw is perfectly relaxed, extending when necessary to accommodate the higher head resonances and open vowels. (I hate to be a grouch, but this is in stark contrast to the majority of today’s celebrated lieder singers).

[@alepeccia]

Fliege, mein Kahn...

[@justaprojection]

No way were he and Prey sexual partners. They were close friends and colleagues. Neither of them was gay (Fritz less than anyone!). He clearly adored his wife - a case of love at first sight. As a student he had "a lot of contact" with women according to his male roommate. How do I know this? Read the biog, watch the DVD FW - Life and Legend (now on KZbin), listen to or read all the interviews with people who knew Fritz.

[@crisha721]

and what if he was gay? is it a problem?

[@DerMensch1]

@@crisha721it is when gays try to gaywash history. Most people call it lying. To suit your agenda.

[@robert37rj]

leonora026, where did you get this video? Is it and the others available to buy? I can't find them anywhere. Please help. Thank you!

[@ФёдорСкорженко]

Очешуенно!! Какой это год записи?

[@arpiel]

alas, he died young, a real loss

[@reallyharried]

Maybe your coach meant duet partners in a number of Rossini and Puccini productions... doncha think!?

[@paulostroff99]

@lovesGenet -Who cares. You can add Horowitz. and that wonderful and brilliant Cuban pianist

[@brunomonteiro3355]

Tenor lirico legero?

[@justaprojection]

Then there's the letter Prey wrote to FW in July 1966, shortly before FW's fatal accident, advising him to cut down his workload, saying how much he missed singing with him and ending "This sounds like a love letter, except that I'm not gay!" Not exactly what a gay lover would have written. People in general just adored Fritz. (And anyway, FW never made it to the Met , so what would a rehearsal pianist there know?)

[@erikaskolovin-erven8136]

amaranth Fritz Wunderlich konnte nicht mehr an der Met singen, weil er 3 Wochen vor seinem Debüt starb.

[@alepeccia]

1) He had a beautiful family with kids and wife, all very close to each other; 2) wouldn't it be his business? 3) does it matter?

[@KARINADIVA]

do you have Die Erwachte Rose by Richard Strauss? I am performing it on Sunday night along with 2 Bellini songs. I love that song but it isn't even on KZbin.. I have a recording of Lucia Popp singing it. Thanks for remembering me.

[@chislehurstbat]

Yes, I think that is Hubert Giesen.

[@dr.reinhardstober6861]

No, it is Ludwig Kusche
