"Abendzeitung", Munich, 1963-12-13: "Laurels upon laurels for Fritz Wunderlich's marvellous Don Ottavio."
"Schwäbische Zeitung", 1963-12-14: "Wunderlich's Ottavio was without doubt one of the most memorable tenor discoveries which, with luck, the opera connoisseur sees every 50 years. Since the young Richard Tauber was celebrated throughout Europe as an all Mozart singer, there was hardly a German lyric tenor with such an enchanting vocal Schmelz (mellifluousness), such a inspired mezzavoce, such a purified voix mixte in every register."
