The sixth installment of the series FRITZ WUNDERLICH – THE SWR RECORDINGS.
Mozart was central to Fritz Wunderlich’s career, reflected not least by his famed role as Papageno in Mozart’s opera Die Zauberlflöte. Wunderlich and the conductor Emmerich Smola were also curious to discover arias by Mozart’s contemporaries and to make them available for a wider audience with their recordings. The result is breathtaking and proves once more that Wunderlich’s exceptional voice was also capable of ennobling music by unknown masters. Stepping outside that period are two bonus tracks of works by Alessandro Scarlatti and Georg Friedrich Handel, whose Ombra mai fù is possibly the only aria in music history addressed to a tree.
