Claudius Adam, 2001-02-11: "This production of La Traviata was Wunderlich's entrée into the Italian Fach. However,
he was so nervous during the premiere that he was not content with it himself. Not before the performance on April 7, 1965, he was satisfied with his efforts. A recording of the latter has been preserved in the archives of the Bavarian State Opera. Hopefully, it will be released on the Orfeo label in the future."
