I believe there has been a misunderstanding. Wolfgang Windgassen was not an active artist releasing music up until 2023, as he passed away in 1974. The recordings you are referring to would be re-releases, remasters, or archival recordings. Below is an accurate biographical summary based on Wolfgang Windgassen's career as an historical figure.

Wolfgang Windgassen (26 June 1914 – 8 September 1974) was one of the premier Wagnerian tenors of the mid-twentieth century, renowned for his powerful voice and endurance on stage, which made him particularly suited to the demanding roles that define Richard Wagner's operatic works. Born in Annemasse, France, to a family of opera singers, Windgassen's foray into music was predestined. He made his operatic debut in Pforzheim as a young man and quickly ascended to the heights of opera elitism, becoming a mainstay at the Bayreuth Festival, where Wagner's work is celebrated annually.

Throughout his career, Windgassen was best known for his portrayals of Siegfried in both 'Siegfried' and 'Götterdämmerung', the title character in 'Parsifal', and Tristan in 'Tristan und Isolde'. His mastery of the heldentenor repertoire was virtually unrivaled in his time, allowing him to captivate audiences with his interpretations of these heroic roles. His performances were characterized by a luminous timbre and an ability to convey deep emotion, traits that kept him at the pinnacle of his craft until his retirement from the opera stage in 1970. Windgassen also ventured into other Germanic operatic repertoire, including works by Richard Strauss and Carl Maria von Weber, showcasing a versatility within the German tradition. Posthumously, recordings of his performances continue to be cherished by opera aficionados and serve as pedagogical benchmarks for aspiring singers.
