•For many, the opening of JS Bach's Christmas Oratorio (Weihnachtsoratorium) is one of the quintessential signs of the arrival of Christmas. Profil are delighted to present a rare recording of the legendary work performed by one of the most well-known tenors of all time, Fritz Wunderlich.

•Wunderlich was a great German tenor who enjoyed a fruitful career until his life was sadly cut short at the age of 25. Recorded in Stuutgart, this recording has never been released before and is a must have for all collectors.
