The Viennese audiences took him to their hearts like no other tenor .When he finally retired they presented him.with a gold ring -I believe a unique gesture His amazing ringing top D was and remains matchless.as does his lively phrasing .
What a brilliant, splendid Tenor who knew the "Art of Singing" and demonstrates this in "every" note. No covered Tones-just pure ringing, brilliant tones with gossamer pianissimo.
Much like his voice and this is a signature piece...I'd be happy if this was the common "voice" of tenors. However, I think I still lean toward Wunderlich in mind of the German-ish style of singing.
Sincerely I don't Like this voice to many color not omeoginic he as high notes but all back sound very gottural ,maybe for german repertoire is ok,onest personal opinion.
