The Christmas Album
Blessed with a crystal-clear voice, exquisite diction and a natural lyricism, Fritz Wunderlich remains hugely admired, 50 years after his death, by fellow musicians and in his native Germany. For example, BBC Music Magazine placed Wunderlich among the Top 4 Tenors in the World, along with Plácido Domingo, Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti.
This album combines traditional classical Christmas songs and carols with excerpts from Wunderlich s legendary recording of Bach s Christmas Oratorio featuring Gundula Jannowitz and Christa Ludwig, conducted by Karl Richter. It makes an ideal soundtrack to the festive season for anyone looking to discover a new voice.
