“His singing of Mozart was exemplary …..style and elegance, perfect breath control, and superb diction. And a belief in what he was singing! All this in evidence in Ottavio’s sublime aria Dalla sua pace. What other singer has made Dies Bildnis into such a heartfelt love song? Few tenors have captured so well Belmonte’s anticipation of seeing his beloved Konstanze once again in O wie ängstlich. The three Handel arias which open this collection also serve to illustrate his awesome breath control and phrasing….It remains a source of much regret that Wunderlich’s career lasted a mere 11 years. Since his tragic death in 1966 opera lovers have ever speculated about what he might have achieved” (James Murray)
