Joe Pearce in the BCS catalogue: "The highlight of the tape is the comic aria from Il maestro di musica, sung and interpreted for all it's worth, with Wunderlich evincing a surprising (in view of his Lensky) sense of fun, both visually and vocally, as he demonstrates cadenzas, high notes, soft notes, load notes, etc. to a bevy of pretty girls."
