About
This is also the case with the recording of Handel’s Messiah, conducted by Heinz Mende, from a concert in the Stuttgart Liederhalle on 20 March 1959. By this time, Wunderlich already had a string of successes behind him and was well on his way to achieving worldwide fame.
The other performances in this collection took place between those two recordings: they are studio recordings, all of them rarities from Wunderlich’s repertoire, which exist only in this early series of Stuttgart radio productions.
This recording is the first instalment of a 10-CD Wunderlich series, each with a different focus:
- Arias by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert
- 19th-century arias
- Early Music
- Hits of the 1950s
- Operetta Arias
- Arias by Mozart’s contemporaries
- Sacred Arias
- 20th-century Arias
- Lieder (Schubert, Brahms, Wolf, Strauss)
