Synopsis

Amazon.com

Despite his premature death at age 35, Fritz Wunderlich was one of the great lyric tenors of the century, equally at home with Mozart's Magic Flute and Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde. Why, then, does Schubert's great song cycle about disappointed love so often elude him? Though he brings his usual vocal splendor and gratifying lyricism to the music in ways that few tenors can dream of, both Wunderlich and his accompanist have a strangely club-footed sense of rhythm. What should often be an intimate expression is extroverted and even labored. --David Patrick Stearns

CD Reviews

A mature Wunderlich sings Schoene Muellerin again with depth

Daniel Schuetz | Ohio | 05/13/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Versus the 1959 recording on the Myto label, there is no comparison. The playing is wonderfully sensitive and Wunderlich sings with a more mature tone and understanding. Giesen plays sensitively and Wunderlich sings much more sensitively than in the 1959 recording. The voice is darker, but he adds color, where on the 1959 recording, he just sings, though beautifully. The 1959 recording is lighter, more lyric and acutally, in this reviewer's opinion, prettier. However, there is a maturity here that is missing from the Myto recording (1959). Worth having. Get both!"

Glorious (yes, perhaps in spite of itself)

Daniel Schuetz | 12/11/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"We have become so utterly spoiled in this day and age by recordings that have been processed to a point of perfection that is utterly inhuman: those who complain about "club-footed rhythm" and other technical problems with this recording are completely missing the point. Here is musicianship and lack of pretense that is, shall we say, rare in tenors? Wunderlich's magically beautiful voice is worth a couple of glitches. If you are unfamiliar with this great voice, the only reason to avoid these recordings is that they will spoil you for the supposedly great tenor voices we are treated to these days."

A recording for the ages

Joe Canoe | 10/16/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wunderlich's melodious and touching recording of Müllerin is among the great lied recordings available. Whether haughtily boasting or tenderly declaring his love, Wunderlich is glorious. I could nitpick about some of Giesen's pianistic choices, but the maturity and beauty of this recording reders any minor complaints unnecessary. If you get to the end of "Des Baches Wiegenlied" and your eyes are dry, check you pulse."

Wonderful interpretation of these songs

A Reviewer | Oregon, USA | 11/09/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's too bad that so few people have been introduced to the art of Fritz Wunderlich, because he was one of the best singers of Lieder I've ever heard, including Fischer-Dieskau. He interprets each song in a uniquely appropriate way, adding a totally new dimension to each one.

Most of us have heard this song cycle before, but if you haven't heard Wunderlich do it, you should buy this CD anyway."

Wunderlich made five versions -- which one to buy?

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 01/17/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"An online discography of Fritz Wunderlich lists five accounts of Die Schoen Mullerin from 1957 to 1966, and since the last was the only studio recording, most listeners know it alone. The Amazon reviewer slights Wunderlich's accomplishment while praising the extraordinary beauty of his voice -- that's the usual rap against this recording -- but no matter. This is a sublime recital in every respect except perhas the foursquare, dutiful accompaniment of Hubert Giesen.

Because Wunerlich died so young, there's been a demand for his live recordings, and two of Schone Mullerin are of special note: the 1959 account (Myto) with Kurt Heinz Stolze that is discussed in some reviews here, and a 1965 duplicaiton of the DG recording, again with Giesen, made on tour (MG Verona). The 1965 version is in good sound and I prefer it to the DG recording, even though there isn't much to choose between them. Wunderlich is quite consistent in his interpretation between the two; I think I hear more spontaneity in the live account, which makes up for a certain stiffness that critics have found in the studio recording.

As for the 1959, which I don't own, by all acocunts it is simpler, lighter, and less detailed in interpreation. Some lsiteners prefer it on as less-is-more, while others appreciate Wunderlich's more mature thoughts and darker voice seven years later. Since all but the DG are out of print, the choice may be academic. Still, no tenor since Wunderlich's deaath has come close to his ravishing tone (in the decades preceding him, I'd rank only Aksel Schotz as equally lovely), and this Originals remastering adds even more luster to the sound."
