Icon: Fritz Wunderlich - A Poet among Tenors

One of the greatest Mozartean tenors in the world, this German opera singer had mastered the works of many other composers as well when a tragic fall at a friend's house took his life in 1966 at age 35. His reputation has only grown since then; behold the beauty and power of his voice as you hear his classic recordings of Mozart (from Il Seraglio; The Magic Flute; Don Giovanni , and more), Bach (from Cantata BWV 208 ), Handel (from Xerxes ), Johann Strauss (from Eine Nacht in Venedig ), Lehar (from Der Zarewitsch ), Verdi (from La Traviata ), Puccini (from Madama Butterfly ), Tchaikovsky (from Eugene Onegin ), Mahler (from Das Lied Von Der Erde ) and more!
