This guy is real deal. His knowledge of and passion for classical singers and singing is virtually unsurpassed in the world of podcasts, and I say that as someone who is a bit of an opera aficionado myself. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

I have discovered so many wonderful singers thanks to Daniel Gundlach’s vast knowledge of the vocal arts and the generations of performers who have made their mark on the repertoire. I often think to myself, “How have I never heard this singer before?”. Always enjoyable, interesting, and inspiring. What did we do before “Countermelody”?
