I also love Fritz Wunderlich, what a pity he died so young.
Oh and Prey, my friend is a big fan of him. This might be the most famous from him: https://youtu.be/rmTcmBn56Jk
Meoima thanks for posting this - it's so wonderful! I'm sorry to say that every time I watch Javi skate his Barbiere program I compare him to this performance by Hermann Prey - and Prey always wins.
There are so many wonderful singers, but I think Wunderlich is maybe my favorite of all tenors....I guess I've been listening to opera a lot lately, because I have a few more loves to share:
Shirley Verrett in an astounding performance of Vieni, t'affretta, Macbeth, La scala, Abbado, 1975:

Here is the gorgeous-voiced (and simply gorgeous) Anna Moffo, Canzone di Doretta, La Rondine

And I will leave you with this - for sheer beauty of melody, voice and singing, it's hard to beat: Mirella Freni, Eccomi in lieta vesta / Oh quante volte, I Capuleti ed I Montecchi:
