Even Windgassen didn't consider himself a true heldentenor. he came
to Wagner via the lyric route and an examination of his performance
history shows that he was an accomplished Mozart tenor when he broke
in. If you listen to his recordings and read the reviews of his
performances you will see that this is so. there are some others who
are now singing Wagner such as Moser and Windbergh that evolved into
the roles the same way.
