Uniquely great! William Wu (吳文修) sings "黑霧 (Dark fog)" by 黃友棣. Studio recording in Taipei, 1979.

Maestro William Wu (吳文修教授, 1935-2009) was a primo dramatic tenor of the National Opera House in Berlin during 1973-79. His biography has been included in The New York Times Who’s Who in Opera since 1976, where he was further selected as one of the 50 leading classical singers in the world. His outstanding performance as Radames in Verdi’s Aida in Tokyo won him the 1984 Vienna World Opera Award. His faultless vocalization is mainly based upon anatomic physiology and modern sound science fascinating with uniquely perfect high notes and solid middle register. It is the profound feelings in the every note he sings that is particularly touching. Among his numerous students in Taiwan and Japan, baritone Te-Tsung Hsu (許徳崇) is one of the best and tenor Yun-Seng Giang (姜雲生) used to receive the most care.

* Chinese Lyrics & English Translation of "黑霧 (Dark Fog)":

* 黑霧 / 許建吾 詞；黃友棣 曲

東邊看不見太陽，西邊找不著月亮;
橫斷在天地間，一片黑霧茫茫。

這混沌的宇宙中，
何處是影子？影子在何方？
不在天上，不在地上。

我閉起我的肉眼，打開智慧的軒窗；
看見了！找著了！
我那親切的影子，笑立在我的心上。

* Dark fog / Lyrics: C.-W. Hsu; Music: Y.-D. Huang

The sun cannot be seen from the east, and the moon cannot be found in the west, either.
Across the sky is only a dark fog.

In this chaotic universe, where is the shadow?
Not in heaven, and not on earth, either.

I close my eyes and open the window of wisdom.
Here it is! My amiable shadow is smiling in my heart.
