Smetana's masterpiece with Fritz Wunderlich: Among the German-language recordings, experts agree that this is the best: Fritz Wunderlich at the height of his powers, Pilar Lorengar in what is "perhaps her best recording" (Jürgen Kesting) and Gottlob Frick, who lends the comic character of the marriage broker a hint of authority and dignity.
