When the German tenor Fritz Wunderlich died after falling down a flight of stairs in September 1966, just a few days short of his 36th birthday, the world of music lost one of its brightest stars. This set offers an attractive cross-section of his all-too short career, his exceptionally wide ranging repertoire and remarkable stylistic versatility. It showcases Wunderlich’s unmistakable, fine timbre, his lightness in the upper register and the pure beauty of his agile, radiant and silver-toned voice.
