Fritz Wunderlich - Das Weihnachtsalbum - CD

Johann Sebastian Bach: Fritz Wunderlich - Das Weihnachtsalbum Die Version auf CD in Standard- Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Europa im Verlag Deutsche Grammophon am 16. Oktober 2015.

Fritz Wunderlich was blessed with arguably the most beautiful lyric tenor voice of the 20th century. His expression and morphology, his perfectly natural-sounding voice, his diction and his ability to convey emotion were and are unique. This album combines, for the first time, his legendary recordings of traditional Christmas carols with excerpts from Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas Oratorio, with contributions from Gundula Jannowitz and Christa Ludwig in addition to Wunderlich. The result is a Wunderlich Christmas album unlike any other. Wunderlich's youngest daughter, Barbara Wunderlich, has written a new text especially for this booklet, which provides exciting information about how Christmas was celebrated at the Wunderlichs' home. The Wunderlich Christmas Album contains all the great Christmas classics such as Silent Night, Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, Vom Himmel hoch, Maria durch ein Dornwald ging, Ich steh an deiner Krippen hier; plus the most beautiful arias from Bach's Christmas Oratorio.

Album Genres übergreifend Klassische Musik und Barockmusik.
