Charming and Bewitching!
05/23/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just love this CD! Erich Kunz was, along with Fritz Kreisler, the personification of the Old Vienna. His Figaro, Leporello, and Papageno arias are incomparable. He also sings one Don Giovanni's aria with Seefried as well (and how warm and seductive he was as Don!). J. Strauss arias are sung with melting Viennese charm, well supported by equally sensitive and charming orchestra. The Viennese songs are sung sweetly and with fatherly warmth. The Schrammel ensemble that accompanies Kunz is also excellent and has full of atmosphere. Transfer is well done overall, except I seem to hear some gradual rising of pitch in some of the Viennese songs. But that is just a small flaw. The singing is exquisite, and that is all it matters."
