Follow the Lieder

Fritz Wunderlich's voice captivated audiences for barely a decade before a tragic accident cut his life short at age thirty-five. In this episode, we explore the remarkable (though short) career and enduring legacy of one of the greatest lyric tenors of the twentieth century through performances of Beethoven's Adelaide and Schubert's Der Musensohn with Hubert Giesen at the piano.
