When the conductor Paul Edmund Wunderlich notified the registrar of Kusel of the birth of his son Friedrich Otto in early October 1930, no one would have guessed that one of the greatest singing talents of the post-war period had been born. Within a few years, Wunderlich conquered the opera houses and concert halls of Europe and was the most important German-speaking lyric tenor of his time.
To mark the 75th birthday of Fritz Wunderlich, the biography by Werner Pfister is published again in a special edition. Complemented by a CD which presents the most important stages of Wunderlich's musical career in a musical form, the publisher now offers this book as a special gift in honour of this great singer who died too early.
