Awards and reviews
May 2017
Wunderlich’s beautiful voice and winning personality is worth hearing in whatever repertoire he chose, and this twofer is no exception.
Opera Now June 2018
An easygoing and mellifluous voice in any genre, here the singer is letting his hair down. Every track sounds as though Dean Martin is about to start warbling, but Wunderlich’s smooth and stylish tenor is a treat (sorry Dino, we still love you).
