Life granted my husband Fritz Wunderlich so little time. But even if his life was so short, it was always filled with music. When I look back on it now, I wonder how it was all possible all those first nights, concerts, song recitals, festivals, new productions, world premieres and studio recordings, and all within the space of so few years. He was always wanting to learn new roles, to grow and to try out new things. His enthusiasm was hard to curb - Eva Wunderlich
