what made Fritz so unique is his attention to detail, phrasing and dynamics. really but a handful of tenors that come to mind with such a gift. Luciano was the master of closing notes, as low as middle F. untouched! i know that commercially he was crowned the king of the high C, but amongst aficionados and this fellow vocalist, there simply is not and has not been another tenore with such physical acumen as Luciano.. his mouth and hard palate were unique which contributed to this closing-low-notes-dominance. though luciano was at times sloppy. in particular his phrasing. but i digress. sloppy amongst Demi-gods is like arguing between gold and platinum..i fully concur in that Fritz is also my favorite Lyric tenor...his delivery and artistry was second to none...had he lived a longer life, he would have been known as one of the greatest tenors of all time...his repertoire was extensive...between operettas, lieders, and operas and as a musician this man was simply the purest embodiment of an artistic prodigy...Jawohl!
Perfection. Beautiful line, never oversung, spot on intonation, restraint throughout. He truly has no equal that I've heard in this rep. This is the model for how to sing this aria.
Everyone is talking about his voice (which is truly exceptional) but what makes this recording even more great is his phenomenal phrasing. The lines are always made up with perfect subtle crescendi and decrescendi.
One of the greatest Singers of all time: the voice of an Angel,such beauty,such clarity,such joy....a terrible tragedy we lost him so young: much missed,R.I.P
This was the first Tamino I ever heard (when I was about 3 years old) and he is still just the best. It is so great music and done so extraordinary beautiful. Every note is just like a little wonder. Love it.
Il piacere immenso che si prova ascoltando questa voce indimenticabile è qualcosa che non si può esprimere con le sole parole. Grazie di cuore al grandissimo Fritz che ci regala questi momenti impagabili! Musicista sopraffino, e cantante assai intelligente che riesce ad imprimere mille e ancora mille sfumature al suo pensiero musicale. EMOZIONANTE!
Einer der wenigen Tenöre, die nicht so künstlich herumschreien, was ich oft so fürchterlich finde am Tenorgesang - dieses Herumposaunen und Aufplustern in den höchsten Tönen. Wunderlich singt einfach leicht, mühelos, voller Brillanz und doch Bescheidenheit. Wunderbar.
Schreien? Es ist bekannt, daß die Orchester heute lauter und einen halben Ton höher spielen als heute, da ist es, gerade auch für lyrische Tenöre, schwer, dagegen anzukommen. Und dann ist da noch die "Diktatur des hohen C". Bei "Nessun Dorma" warten alle auf die eine ganz bestimmte Stelle, der Tenor kann während der ganzen "Turandot" noch so schön gesungen haben, wenn er diesen einen Ton vermasselt, heißt es, er könne nicht singen.
I just bought a CD of Wunderlich today - imagine to hear the perfection of his singing even many times more colourful than here on RUclips! Thanks to RUclips we have the chance of being reminded of this highest of the highest estimated tenors, but: You won't believe how many times more overwhelming the beauty of his voice is when listening to it in a high-definition recording. Has anyone heard and seen him (a)live? That must have been a glimpse of heaven ... Only the good die young ... !
He didnt try to outsing the piano (because thats impossible for every human voice) but he felt the piano a hundred percent and therefore the piano became his voice... He has to be the best singer ever
Julio has it right. True,😢 Wunderlich was not here for us to hear him in his later years. But he did give us the most beautiful singing of the years he had. (And all the years since.) I found him accidentally when I bought some recordings just after his death - I suppose some thought he would disappear into the attic - but he didn’t - those to whom I’ve introduced his recordings are amazed they hadn’t heard of him. We should continue to keep the great from the past alive with the technology of today and find more ways to celebrate our present great living artists as well.
Definitely the greatest lyric tenor ever imo, and one of, if not THE most beautiful voice ever. He could sing lightly and sweetly, yet had brilliance and power as well. An amazing artist. Such a tragedy that he died so young.
There are so many things about this performance that I enjoy. I do not, however, enjoy how easy he makes it look. Congratulations, Mr. Wunderlich. No one can/will ever surpass this amount of ease singing this aria.
My father introduce me to Fritz Wunderlich in the early 1960's. What a terrible loss to have him depart at 36, two weeks before his premiere at the Met. I hang on his every phrase in appreciation of his amazing talent and artistry, and memory of my father who loved beauty so much.
Cada día que pasa su aura es más grande y su temprana pérdida es más dolorosa para la historia de la música. Una voz inmortal que gracias a RUclips muchos hemos conocido y se quedará con nosotros para siempre.
His breath technique is not perfect. Watch again. Early in the aria he is using clavicular (high breathing) where his shoulders rise and fall. That is not efficient or good breath technique, which makes it all the more amazing how well he sang this aria and how easy it sounded.
One of the most impressive videos on RUclips. A rare live testimony of one of the greatest lyric tenors of all times. Unfortunately 155 thumbs down-the today's reality of ignorance and no taste..
Einerseits eine unglaubliche Perfektion, jeder Ton ebenmäßig, mit perfektem Vibrato und Toneinsatz. Andererseits eine so wehmütig emotionale Stimme mit seltenem Glanz in der Höhe. So eine Stimme kommt nier wieder.
An amazing singer to study. the younger generations need to be studying all these great singers and also the great singers prior to Fritz's generation.
Ich hatte einmal die Ehre ihn zusammen mit Hermann Prey als Papageno in dieser Rolle in Hagen zu hören. Hätte ich damals geahnt, daß er nach kurzer Zeit nicht mehr unter uns sein würde hätte ich die Aufführung noch mehr genossen. Habe die Zauberflöte inzwischen 6 oder 7 mal live gesehen ( ich weigere mich, diese sog. modernen Inzenierungen im Fernsehen anuzuschauen) aber dieses erste Mal wird immer für mich der Höhepunkt bleiben. Danke Fritz, daß es dich gab. Schakal aus Namiba
Ich freue mich mit Euch.Fritz Wunderlich hat zu Recht 1000 Pluspunkte bekommen.Als ich gestern Abend nachschaute,fehlte nur noch Einer.Auch,dass,was der Sänger Francisko Araize über Fritz Wunderlich aussagte,fand ich ganz großartig.
What a wonderful lyric tenor voice.Beautiful timbre and tone and very good technique. What a shame he died such a tragic death at such a young age.I believe he was destined for international stardom. Bravissimo!
Vor 6 Jahren starb mein Vater. Er war ein starker Mann, körperlich und geistig. im Gegensatz zu mir, er war nie ein professioneller Musiker. Ich sah ihn selten weinen. Nur 2 mal ... wenn ich sang, Stille Nacht für ihn ... und wenn er zu singen hörte Fritz Volgalied von Zarewitsch. I can never, ever listen to the perfection of Wunderlich, without remembering my father as well. Oh my God. How I miss them both. Es gibt einen Zusammenhang! Thank you so much for this...Mein herz mit neuer Regung fuellt. (sorry, my "umlaut" disappeared) und Jetzt... "lachen und weinen zu jeglicher stunde" VIELEN DANK!
Wenn ich lese was hier so an "aller Zeiten" -Geschwätz verzapft wird. Niemand kann in die Zukunft sehen ! Dieser Sänger war & ist bis heute der beste lyrische Tenor, der je gesungen hat. Der Schöpfer hat ihn der Erde gegeben, für einen Moment der Zeit & ihn dann wieder genommen. So bleibt er einmalig !!!

Fritz Wunderlich,einfach unvergleichlich.Dieses Timbre,diese unvergleichliche Empfindsamkeit....BRILLANT!
This man leaves me speechless everytime i hear him. The most beautiful tenor voice i`ve ever heard.
I call him the best vocalist of all recorded times
and, with a slightly different timbre, a lighter voice, for Lieder vs opera, the Danish Axel Schiotz...
@@julioverne579 I have to disagree :D
I like Josef Greindl a lot more. E.g. "Der Schatzgäber" from Carl Loewe with Michael Raucheisen.
He was pavarottis big inspiration... he said no one can sing like him
Greatest lyric tenor of 20th century along with Nocolai Gedda.
my favourite tenor!! what a voice!
A glorious talent taken from this world tragically young. RIP Fritz Wunderlich. I hope your beautiful voice fills heaven.
One of the greatest voices ever to be captured for our listening pleasure... He will be remembered as the genius he was.
Amazing! My favourite tenor ever...
I never imagined how beautiful a human tenor voice could be-or any human sound-until I heard Fritz Wunderlich sing Mozart.
Or Schumann, or Schubert, or…
In my opinion, the best lyric tenor of all time. What an iconic voice.
Luciano adored him!
Well said, Kirk.
what made Fritz so unique is his attention to detail, phrasing and dynamics. really but a handful of tenors that come to mind with such a gift. Luciano was the master of closing notes, as low as middle F. untouched! i know that commercially he was crowned the king of the high C, but amongst aficionados and this fellow vocalist, there simply is not and has not been another tenore with such physical acumen as Luciano.. his mouth and hard palate were unique which contributed to this closing-low-notes-dominance. though luciano was at times sloppy. in particular his phrasing. but i digress. sloppy amongst Demi-gods is like arguing between gold and platinum..i fully concur in that Fritz is also my favorite Lyric tenor...his delivery and artistry was second to none...had he lived a longer life, he would have been known as one of the greatest tenors of all time...his repertoire was extensive...between operettas, lieders, and operas and as a musician this man was simply the purest embodiment of an artistic prodigy...Jawohl!
you are not alone with this opinion
He and Mario Lanza. Both similar characters too - charming and honest.
Der größte Sänger - auch 2021 noch! Gänsehaut-Feeling garantiert. Italienischer Schmelz in der Stimme, unübertroffen!
Perfection. Beautiful line, never oversung, spot on intonation, restraint throughout. He truly has no equal that I've heard in this rep. This is the model for how to sing this aria.
Das ist der beste Tamino den ich je gehört habe
How angelic and beautiful ~~~~
This is uncredibly beautiful. I felt a tear roll down my cheek.
Wunderlich is by far the best Mozartian tenor of our times..... and the best Tamino.... how beautiful............
My favourite Mozart tenor aria. No one does it better than Fritz. He deserved a standing ovation from this audience.
Everyone is talking about his voice (which is truly exceptional) but what makes this recording even more great is his phenomenal phrasing. The lines are always made up with perfect subtle crescendi and decrescendi.
This is pure magic.
This really is the definitive version of this aria. A blueprint for all lyric tenors to strive for. Words cannot describe the beauty of his singing.
The best Tamino without a second thought 👏
Incomparable! Never to be equalled...ever. All Taminos past present should be in AWE of this definitive performance.
Absolutely divine!! Best Tamino ever!
So simple yet to touching
For me, the greatest tenor who ever lived.
Tha even confirmed Maestro Pavarotti.
Since 1966 they are all looking and looking... and they can't find a better singer.
Fritz has no weeknesses. Unbelievable.
Wunderlich war einfach nur wundervoll.
I play this over & over! A voice never to be forgotten. 💐
One of the greatest Singers of all time: the voice of an Angel,such beauty,such clarity,such joy....a terrible tragedy we lost him so young: much missed,R.I.P
I have not listened to the more perfect voice than Wunderlich so far !! He is forever.
Without question one of the greatest singers and most beautiful voices of all time. This performance is beyond compare.
This was the first Tamino I ever heard (when I was about 3 years old) and he is still just the best. It is so great music and done so extraordinary beautiful. Every note is just like a little wonder. Love it.
This is a rare instance of perfection.
His voice is angelic. I have always loved Wunderlich. His Lieder are fantastic, too!
Perfection. He had no equal in this role.
Wunder, Wunder, Wunderlich!!!!!
"Dies Bildnis ist bezaubernd schoen!" Bravo! Beautiful performance!
Simplememte., dulcìsimo, esplèndido.. mi tenor favorito de todos los tiempos.
Wunderlich will never be surpassed in his particular field! Spectacularly beautiful! ❤🙏🏼❤🙏🏼

In tausend Jahren wird nur ein Mensch mit so einer Stimme gesegnet...........
lilalola 33 Stimmt vollkommen.
Pavarotti bezeichnete ihn als den Größten aller Zeiten 🙂

Not only one of the greatest lyric tenors, but one of the greatest renditions of the aria "Dies' Bildnis ist bezaubernd schon" - how lucky we are!
I just bought a CD of Wunderlich today - imagine to hear the perfection of his singing even many times more colourful than here on RUclips!

That must have been a glimpse of heaven ...

Beautiful voice!!
Spectacular voice!
such a beautiful color of the voice. lovely.
How could Fritz have ANY negative responses?! The greatest lyric tenor of the 20th c. & possibly of all time.
Truly baffling isn’t it.
Seine Stimmfarbe ist sicher schkicht talent, oder Glück, aber wie er sie einsetzt.. wie e sie abwandelt. Das ist unerreicht bisnheute.

Brilliant, einer der besten lyrischen Tenöre aller Zeiten!
La voz de un angel , simplemente sublime , para mi una de las voces mas bellas que ha dado la humanidad.
A wonderful voice!
Wunderlich ist immer wieder schön anzuhören.
What a shame to have lost this voice in such a sad way.......God Bless and keep him.
Sein Gesang ,seine Stimme war bezaubernd schön - wie es sie nur einmal gibt
His voice, his voice was enchantingly beautiful - as they only once exist
Egal ob Orchester oder nur Klavier. Bei Wunderlich klingt es immer wunderschön
Er ist gestorben sehr jung, nur ein Jahr später.
음반으로만 듣다가 연주 영상을 볼 수 있어 정말 행복하고 감사합니다!
Ignace Renucci
Wunderlich une merveilleuse voix.
C'est simplement '' WUNDERBAR ''.
There are so many things about this performance that I enjoy. I do not, however, enjoy how easy he makes it look. Congratulations, Mr. Wunderlich. No one can/will ever surpass this amount of ease singing this aria.
wunderschöne Musik;herrlich!
Just perfect. A great, great tenor. Thank you for posting.

Wunderbar Wunderlich! Immer schoen! Danke sehr.
sehr schön
Impresionante la belleza de su voz. Me encanta. Canta con lo que le sobra de voz
Bravissimo!
so amazing
touching and simply perfect !!!!!!
Cada día que pasa su aura es más grande y su temprana pérdida es más dolorosa para la historia de la música.
Una voz inmortal que gracias a RUclips muchos hemos conocido y se quedará con nosotros para siempre.
So unbelievably beautiful. Wunderlich is just unmatched singing this aria.
Oddly enough, that is what he is singing about in this song (adorable beauty)!
Bezaubernd schoen!
One of the best of the best but we lost him far too young, far too soon! What a voice!
so sweet and unbelievably beautiful
The mighty Wunderlich makes it all look so easy.
I agree perfect technique, perfect color, perfect legato, marvelous
His breath technique is not perfect. Watch again. Early in the aria he is using clavicular (high breathing) where his shoulders rise and fall. That is not efficient or good breath technique, which makes it all the more amazing how well he sang this aria and how easy it sounded.
A perfect rendition of one of the hardest arias to sing. A true master at work, bravo!
A tragic loss to opera and at only 35 when he tragically died, he had so much left to achieve.one of the greatest Lyric tenors of all time..
One of the most impressive videos on RUclips. A rare live testimony of one of the greatest lyric tenors of all times.
Unfortunately 155 thumbs down-the today's reality of ignorance and no taste..
Maravilloso, sencillo, sublime...una sensibilidad en el canto que emociona y llega al alma.
Einerseits eine unglaubliche Perfektion, jeder Ton ebenmäßig, mit perfektem Vibrato und Toneinsatz. Andererseits eine so wehmütig emotionale Stimme mit seltenem Glanz in der Höhe. So eine Stimme kommt nier wieder.

chiaroscuro! look at his mouth and his tongue- nobodys singing in this stile anymore
Grande Frits, belleza vocal, línea de canto, dicción, giros y coberturas en su justa dimensión e interpretación impecable. PERFECTO 👏😍🤩
Perfetto
Perfekt.
An amazing singer to study. the younger generations need to be studying all these great singers and also the great singers prior to Fritz's generation.
Best Tamino!)
Definitely one of the greatest tenors ever. So much easy power all the way though. Ah! So beautiful.

Magic.
En mi opinion también la más bella voz de todos los tiempos...aunada a un gusto exquisito para cantar !!!
What a pity that this great singer died so young ... really
Verehrter Fritz Wunderlich, Sie sind immer noch in unseren Herzen. Danke
Monika Bruns
So Ardent and elegant at the same time. It feels as though his is holding on to the piano so as to keep himself from flying away
Ich war 2 Jahre alt als er verunglückte. Meine Oma erzaehlte mir davon. Nun bin ich 53 und habe Zeit, diese Stimme zu genießen
Auch seine jüngsteTochter war 2 Jahre und 4 Monate, als er starb. Schade, dass er nicht älter wurde.
What if I had the chance to be there and see this spectacular man singing...
The best Tamino ever!!!!!
Incredible.... there is no other. Simple and elegant.
Ich freue mich mit Euch.Fritz Wunderlich hat zu Recht 1000 Pluspunkte bekommen.Als ich gestern Abend nachschaute,fehlte nur noch Einer.Auch,dass,was der Sänger Francisko Araize über Fritz Wunderlich aussagte,fand ich ganz großartig.

indeed. such an artist
I heard this in 1966. So impressed I never forgot.
