I completely, wholeheartedly agree. Not even the other great tenors hold a candle to Wunderlich, most especially in this aria. You can hear it, even in just the first few lines.

I don't really agree. Wunderlich would sing so, so much better than them, but he was a "mozartian" tenor, not a "bel canto" one, so there would have been place enough for both without true concurrence.And among the "three tenors", I find that Placido Domingo, in the 60's, 70's and 80's, had a great voice (not as achieved as Wunderlich's, though), and a great presence. I still remember my delighted fear, when child, seing him as Othello.

Pavarotti in his 30s not even scarping his kneecaps? A bit of an overstatement

breathtaking...

How about this thought... Lanza died in 1959.... Pavarotti's debut was 1961 right? Suppose Lanza's life had progressed 'normally?' What affect would THAT have had on the three tenors and others....

Ok. I agree, likely the three tenors AS SUCH would not have existed, but I hardly think Wunderlich's living would have prevented their respective careers. Again, interesting thought though.

I know what you mean...(di Stefano)No one would have bought into the 'three tenors' garbage. His technique would have allowed him to sing brilliantly long after the other three retired. I've never heard a Tamino better than him...although Francesco Araiza did suprise me a lot, when I heard him sing it in the 90s...but still not the calibre of Wunderlich.

Interesting thought, but I'm not sure I follow you completely- I hardly think his living longer would have prevented them all from singing, they came a bit later- I'm sure he would have bit into their notoriety quite a bit though. It's quite rare to have such beauty of voice matched with such good technique. *sigh*

If this man had lived...the three tenors would never have been. He was their contemporary, and they don't even scrape his kneecaps.
