He is a man of great humour. In the first part of the video he tells the audience about how to cheat housewifes which want him to sing...hide the key and things like that.Wonderful voice.Great Wagnerian Tenor
Yes, there's a very deep pleasure in seeing these gentlemen with a refined taste and such an old-fashioned greeting Grüß Gott. Hope, youve already been informed of the new Fritz Wunderlichs release - Liederabend 1965, Schwetzinger Festspielreihe.
He marks the beats too strongly, which I suppose you have to do to keep your place in those long Wagnerian parts. But it deprives this beautiful song of legato tenderness. Schlusnus reigns in this repertoire.
The phrase beginning at 2:34, but especially at 2:42!, is a masterclass in how to sing, how to interpret a piece and how Strauss should be sung and realized. Only Windgassen and Lotte Lehmann have succeeded in doing just this. I love this video and return to it whenever my ears have wearied of the terrible modern singing that is inescapable nowadays.
Wunderbar. Herrlich. Wolfgang Windgassen "Keiner wie er so hold..." Tausend Dank!
I love Wolfgang Windgassen.
Welch großartige Einführung mit wundervollem Charme und Humor.
This is excellent, what a gem! Are there any other videos/recordings of Windgassen singing lieder?

What a beautiful song! And Mr Windgassen is so charming. I love his expression at 0:40 :)
I wonder if you have more videos with him?

Wonderful. No fuss, no excess. Just brilliant, effortless, stylish singing.
Superb rendition

Sehr natürliche Stimme und Tongebung. Für einen Wagner Tenor auffallend.

Oh yes.. "Verschlossen.. und gehe von dannen" ))
