Gratuitous Friday – Fritz Wunderlich is Lensky (More Opera in the Wrong Language)
Heartbreaking, smooth,
beautiful… Wait…what? Is he singing in German???
Who cares? It's awesome singing. I’m not saying it doesn't sound better in
Russian. Of course it does! But if we insisted in everything being sung only in
the original language, we’d miss a lot of gorgeous—and in particular, vintage—singing. Thanks to many recordings like these, Fritz still lives!
