Contents:
Fritz Wunderlich frequently sang the tenor part in Ludwig van Beethovens Ninth Symphony on Schillers Ode to joy, but he never recorded it on LP. His contribution makes this live recording of a 1962 concert at the Hessischer Rundfunk a rarity and closes a gap in the discographic legacy of the singer who died so prematurely.
Wunderlichs cantabile performance style ennobles the tenor solo in the alla Marcia style, and he smoothly blends into the excellent line-up of soloists: Shige Yano (soprano), Marga Hffgen (alto) and Theo Adam (bass-baritone). The conductor is Dean Dixon, the first Afro-American to hold the post of chief conductor (1961-1974) of a German Radio Symphony Orchestra.
