Uniquely great! William Wu (吳文修) sings "小路(Pathway - Chinese folk song)". Rec'd 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.

房前的大路，

* Pathway
There is a big road in front of the house.
Ah~ Beloved, don't go that way!
Simply walk along behind the house.
Ah~ Beloved, there is a pathway.
Ah~~~~~~
