My english is not very good but I hope you'll be satisfied:
0:00-0:20
Narrator: Befor his departure to America Wunderlich wanted to relax for some days. He went to friends in Upper Swabia with whom he had gone hunting before. With them was Peter Krager, who noticed the stress which weigh heavily on Wunderlich.
0:21-0:38
Krager: To go hunting...it seemed like he (Wunderlich) wanted to put it (his employment at the MET) aside yet. "Let's go hunting once again..." (jaage = go hunting in Palatine) said Wunderlich, "Let's go hunting with our friends!".
0:39-0:42
Narrator: To switch off with friends...
0:49-1:54
Krager: He was so pleased...He sat beside me...(Krager begins to tear up)...put his arm around me and said "Well, Peter, tomorrow will be a good day to hunt. You'll see it's going to be wonderful! But...now I'll go over, you know I'll go to Heinz Blanks house in Dertingen, but before I'll sing some nice song for you. What do you want me to sing?" I said "Well, Fritz, just some Lönslied (songs by Hermann Löns)." and he sang "Rosemarie" (Krager begins to tear up again).
1:55-2:11
Krager: After that he left immediately. I think he had most (of his baggage) in the other house, and he went to the other house...that's when we saw each other for the last time (begins to tear up again).
2:15-2:54
Eva Wunderlich: He (Fritz Wunderlich) called everytime before he was going to go bed. We talked for about a quarter of an hour and he said he's really tired because he had gone swimming that day and they had played ping pong and had gone to the wood. They wanted to wake up at 4:00 AM the next day, to go hunting, and he would go downstairs to go to sleep. And then he went off and would have to had opened his shoes and not closed them again.
3:09-3:15
Narrator: Wunderlich (Fritz) suffered from a skull fracture. They took him to the hospital.
3:16-3:47
Eva Wunderlich: From the moment I saw him laying there unconscious I got a feeling that this was not him anymore, just his body. And...I thought "He shall be well now, I mustn't hold him back, I must give him good thoughts on the way (to the other side)."
3:49-4:00
Narrator: One day after the accident Wunderlich (Fritz) dies of the aftermath of his injuries. What remains is much more than an extraordinary voice.
4:03-4:30
Thomas Hampson: What a unique gathering of gift/talent, love of life, energy and ambition his (Fritz Wunderlichs) life had been...and everybody, regardless of being tenor or not, has to deal with saying "Well, there (where Fritz Wunderlich went) is where we shall go!", this has to be said!
4:31-4:54
Narrator: Fritz Wunderlich draw his power from music and lived for it. Until today he has lost nothing of his fascination (in the background you can hear "An die Musik" from Franz Schubert).
4:55-5:11
Eva Wunderlich: He had a fulfilled life...no disappointments and was happy in his art.
5:12-5:48
Narrator: Fritz Wunderlich lives on: In his music and in the hearts of men.

Danke für's Hochladen. Fritz Wunderlich wird nicht vergessen werden!
One of the greatest Lyric Tenors of all time!
I ''discovered'' Fritz Wunderlich when I lived in Berlin in 1990. From then on, no other tenor could compare.
It is a well known fact, that Luciano Pavarotti praised Wunderlich as a role model. That is indeed a tribute in and of itself.
Fritz Wunderlich war etwas Einzigartiges.
Thank you for sharing. I used to enjoy listening to his Lieders back when I was a student at Roosevelt U in the '70s. His voice touches the soul.
Das war so schön! Ich bin immer noch weinen . "Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!"
Fritz Wunderlich... un ange du ciel qui est venu à la notre planête pour nous faire rêver....
Guten Abend, Sie haben das vor so langer Zeit geschrieben, ich lese es erst heute und danke Ihnen dafür! Das ist so schön und so wahr! Liebe Grüße ...
Der komplette Film,der 2. enthalten ist,wovon eins gesperrt ist,weil einige Minuten für Deutschland nicht durchkommen,ist so schön.Der letzte Abschnitt erschüttert mich sehr,weil auch das Ende dieses großen Sängers gezeit wird.Ich habe den Film schon sehr oft auf DVD mir angeschaut,auch den Film von Hermann Prey.Es ergreift mich immer wieder von Neuem.
Uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos. Gracias por darnos tanta belleza
A very stirring account of FW's last hours. Thank you!
Yes, indeed - thank you. It is good to know that he was so beloved. We are fortunate to have his voice still with us.
Der beste Sänger aller Zeiten + der beste OFF-Sprecher dt Zunge aller Zeiten.
Hans Peter Bögel.
Für mich jedenfalls!
Ich habe in den 1980er Jahren privaten Gesangsunterricht bei Franziska Wachmann gehabt. Sie hat mit Fritz Wunderlich zusammen in Stuttgart gesungen. Sie hat nur mit Tränen in den Augen von ihm gesprochen.
Sehr traurig!
❤❤auch für Seine Frau usw...❤❤
Gracias por compartirlo!!
Da mus ich gleich so weinen
Was für eine wunderbare Ehefrau Wunderlich ausgewählt hatte. Wie souverän sie berichtet. Und was für eine schöne Frau sie geblieben ist. Man muss sich nur mal vorstellen, als sie diese schreckliche Nachricht ereilte. Wäre dieses Schicksal nicht wert, eine deutsche Operette/ein deutsches Musical zu werden?
Beide passten gut zusammen. Sie starb am 20.11. 2016, 2 Wochen vor ihrem 82 Geburtstag.
No me canso de escucharle
Auch seine jüngste Tochter starb am 12. 4., 😓einen Monat vor ihrem 58.Geburtstag.🎶✍
Thanks for posting this. Is Eva Wunderlich still alive?
She died 20. nov. 2016 in munich. (No, I don't know the family and have no more informations..)
nach IHM kein lyrischer Saenger seiner Klasse .
Pjotr Beczala sehe ich in
seinem Dunstkreis.
una gran voz que lastima que halla sido cazador, el universo le volvió lo lo que iba a hacer, el cazador salio cazado, una lastima que existan hombres con un gran talento pero con un minino de consciencia con las animales y la tierra.
Warum wird so ein Mensch, so jung aus dem Leben gerissen?
Magnifier 2020
Sehr traurig, aber wortwörtlich mein Gedanke.
@@Magnifier-rn6jo Gott gibt es. Fritz Wunderlich war selber sehr gläubig.
Wenn er wenigstens einige Jahre länger gelebt hätte. Seine Stimme bleibt unsterblich.
Ja, ja ,,,,warum ??????
Weil Gott ihn bei sich haben wollte, um seine herrliche Stimme zu genießen.
Fritz grande, para voz la de el
Heute hätte er vielleicht überlebt. Ende der 60er waren die medizinischen Möglichkeiten, im Vergleich zu heute, leider noch sehr begrenzt.
Ich weiß es nicht. Vielleicht hätte er einige Tage länger gelebt. In den 80ziger oder 90ziger Jahren las ich, dass ein junger Mann den selben Sturz hatte. Er starb nach 5-6 Tagen. Wolfgang Anheisser stürzte am 1.1.1971, gut 4 Jahre später in einer Aufführung vom Gerüst vor der Öffentlich ab und er starb am 5.1. Das war sehr traurig, er wurde nur etwas älter als Fritz Wunderlich.
😢😢 es ist sehr schade um Diesen Tenor.
Quelle tristesse cette mort stupide...

James King told me that when they were colleagues and went out for a drink Wunderlich drank a lot. He had no doubt why he fell down the stairs.
how do you know James King?
@@antoniak.3404 He was at IU for many years, as you probably know, and we were introduced at a dinner party. He was extremely unpretentious and unusually forthcoming with stories about his famous colleagues. It pained me that he felt he was never appreciated in his own country. I wish he had lived to be able to read CZcams comments.
@@ransomcoates546 oh thats really cool, thanks! do you remember any stories about his work with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau by any chance? they seem really close in the Don Carlos production they did together!
@@antoniak.3404 Yes, he mentioned that he still exchanged Christmas cards every year with Fi-Di - this would have been the late ‘90’s. As I recall, they often complained to each other about the sad state of operatic singing. I did a long interview with Mr. King in ‘Classical Singer’. It might be somewhere on the Internet.
@@ransomcoates546 thats so interesting thank you so much! i found the interview and i’ll be glad to read it :)
i’m actually in the process of doing research about old opera productions (50s-60s) but i’m having trouble finding archival footage. i know this is a long shot but you seem in the know, do you have any ideas for sources? thanks!
I still don't understand, why good people, have to go from this world, at their best age...it's beyond my understanding...
Thanks...it is not understandable...probably, death comes for rverybody
