Erich Kunz - Songs Of Vienna

Review by Christine Irvine

Erich Kunz's album Songs Of Vienna is a beautiful tribute to the city's rich musical heritage. As a renowned Austrian baritone, Kunz brings his rich and expressive voice to a selection of classic Viennese songs that capture the spirit of the city's culture and history.

The album opens with "Wien, Wien, nur du allein," a famous waltz that has become a symbol of Vienna's romantic charm. Kunz's voice is warm and inviting, drawing the listener in with its effortless clarity and emotional depth. He follows this with a series of other popular Viennese songs, including "Im Prater blüh'n wieder die Bäume" and "Wiener Blut," each of which showcases his impeccable vocal control and artistry.

Throughout the album, Kunz is accompanied by a talented ensemble of musicians who provide a rich and nuanced musical backdrop to his singing. The arrangements are carefully crafted to highlight the beauty of each song, with lush strings, delicate piano, and sparkling brass all adding to the overall effect.
