- Gedda sings this famous aria... He is NOT in italian repertoir so strong as in french or russian, but in this role he is very acceptable :) (swedish duo Gedda + Nilsson in Tosca is very atractive - what do you mean?? :))) )

Grande grandissimo.
Musicale, tecnica perfetta... dizione perfetta. Fraseggio sempre appoggiato e acuti mai fuori intonazion sicuri e pieni... in questa romanza non può mettere in luce tutte le sue immense qualità.. ma riesce ad evidenziare quella tecnica e quella carica interpretatva che hanno fatto di lui uno dei tenori più "preparati e longevi " della storia. Un invito alle nuove generazioni di tenori Gedda è un modello per tutti voi.
He displays the attributes that I love in a singer: a great respect for correct diction, an incisive understanding of the music, and of course a great of passion to conquer the heart.
Remarcable tenor, artist, his perfomance lights the soul! ❤️🌹
Another of the all times tenor hall of fame.Thanks for sharing this .
wonderfull version
La grandezza di Gedda è proprio nel suo non essere latino, senza enfasi, la sua bellezza e interpretazione è tutta nella voce
BRAVO GEDDA!
He brings a sense of legato that the Italian attempts at this aria don't often have.
Maravilloso, eso sí es un buen tenor.
Thank you sop much for posting !!!
A great tenor as Gedda deserves respect. One may express his tastes, but it's not polite to mock the singer and other youtubers with loughs.
Una voz primorosa
Manifique
amazing!
Gedda was the greatest lyric tenor of this generation with a remarkable technique and the most exceptional top register for a full voiced lyric. Gedda's voice WAS NOT like the voice of Alfredo Kraus who even considered Rodolfo in La Boheme as too heavy a part to sing on stage. I repeat my previous statement that Gedda was a greater tenor than Pavarotti he just didn't have Herbert Breslin.
Have you red King and I?
Stirring rendition! Bravo!
So lyrical with the intelligence and intensity all in the right places. And his high notes! All magnificent. The man knew how to sing. Where is bel canto today? You can't tell me that Florez comes close. Nope. And, please, don't say that it has to do with the type of music he sings. It is just not nearly what this man here brought to the table. What a wonderful singer.
@hotqueekboi I totally agree with you and further add that Gedda's top notes were never the squeezed sounds that Pavarotti made. When Gedda sang Arturo in I Puritani with Sutherland it was sung IN KEY while Pavarotti the so called 'King of the high c's' sang a semitone down including 'a te o cara.' Gedda was just a great singer who went about his business. Gedda never ever made a fool of himself like Pavarotti did in his last years at the Met and elsewhere.
great
Einer der ganz grossen!
d'accordo!!!!!!!!
Bjorling, Gedda, Svaholm... Thank you Sweden for fill gaps in opera history
I can copy my post from another video. According to the concert performance available on youtube, I always presumed that Cavaradossi is too heavy for Nicolai´s voice. But I was wrong. I found several recordings - mostly live (including this), where Nicolai performs as fully acceptable Mario Cavaradossi. Of course, he was not an Italian tenor. Compared to the Italian versions (vocally maybe better - I hate these comparisons), he was able to transfer emotions. I always prefer this aspect. The unreleased recording with Tomowa-Sintow is also very good.
I always presumed that Cavaradossi is too heavy for his voice. But this version is very acceptable. He expressed feelings of the close death, Of course, Corelli is much more polished. But this version is indeed wonderful
Gedda is a true tenor. This isn't his best performance though, but still beats most other 6-0
Because he was a little older, and didn't have the advantage of mass media marketing (stadium singing) the way the others did. In opera circles, he is not their equal, but their superior, and Domingo and Pavarotti will admit it.
@Mooorhe Really! When did Kraus sing I Vespri Siciliani, Un Ballo in Maschera, Tosca, William Tell, Cellini, Carmen, Troyens, etc., as to style Kraus on every recording of the Pearl Fishers aria sings all the top notes full forte which totally ruins the context of the piece. Gedda's voice was a good deal larger than Kraus's and where, pray tell, does Kraus sing leider and chanson's. As to Pavarotti's opinion HE HEARD THEM LIVE YOU DIDN'T LITTLE BOY. DR> KNOWITALL!!!!!
he look like Elvis
dal vivo Gedda aveva voce piccola per questo repertorio.
Alguien puede superar la dulzura del timbre de Gedda?
I think Lauri-Volpi possessed a remarkable technique, too.
1:33 that turn to camera 2
It's natural that he broadens his voice here. It's another kind of opera, he can't sing it in a Werther manner.
"Non si era mai sentito altrove????"
Ma lei viene dalla Luna?
dragonstea din tei! Morrissey! my god!
Je n'aime pas beaucoup Pavarotti mais ça ce sont mes goûts..
Par contre la version de Rolando Villazòn sur son album de 2003 est carrément démente! Si tu ne l'as jamais entendue, essaie-la :)
You are absolutely right. Domingo is their superior.
Allora capisco.
i meant the opposite >_>;;
Then listen to Mario Lanza or Fritz Wunderlich or Rudolf Schock singing this song
Thicklizzie , wir sind aber gerade bei dem großen Gedda.
@RudySunseeker i miei cantanti preferiti sono foster jenkins e insuperabile tenore stefan zucker hahahahaha...PS nel repertorio leggero Gedda era un bravo tenore,Lanza mai e stato un vero tenore lirico,cantare davanti un microfono e una cosa cantare in un teatro un'altra ...chiedete a Boccelli che cosa ne pensa.Con rispetto.
bodiloto , schade die Idioten sterben nicht aus.
Se ho scritto che capisco mi sono riferita al fatto, che lei viene dalla Luna. Cosi naturalmente non poteva seguire la carriera di Gedda.
Sin duda un grande, aunque a ni gusto Tosca le pertenece a Distefano y a Pavarotti.Uno con la dulzura de la miel, el otro con la potencia de un volcàn.
ajajjajajaa
Pero canta bien, no sera el mejor, pero es Gedda!!!
* laughs, of course
Gedda przypomiana trochę Beczałę
I prefer Gedda´s versions, although they are not vocally as brilliant. Each rendition performed by Nicolai is different. Selected are better, selected are worse. He was able to transfer the emotions of Mario Cavaradossi waiting for the execution - His love for Tosca, his desire to live, his fear of approaching death. Vocally more advanced versions typically lack this emotion. Of course, each tenor is unique. I do not like comparing them. I have always known that Mr. Gedda was the first class tenor. Last few weeks, I listen to his recordings and live recordings. In the lyric rank, he has practically no competition. Some tenors are on the same or similar level, but no one is better. Nicolai´s voice will live forever.
Once again, the dubbed picture ruins a wonderful performance.
Pavarotti also had his high C in his 60s. Why do you assume that because Pavarotti held an opinion, I do too? Pavarotti's favourite was di Stefano, and he ranked Tucker among the greatest tenors of all time: those are two things that I certainly don't agree with.
You may hold your opinion on Gedda. I personally believe Kraus sang with more style and more musically. I maintain that there was similarity in the voices and overlap in repertoire.
Gedda did produce squeezed top notes; he also cracked more frequently than the comparable singer of his time, Kraus. Pavarotti never sang the last act in key to avoid the high Ds, but this has little pertinence to the 'King of the High Cs' title. It is a lie you tell about 'A te, o cara'. He never, ever transposed it, even in his final Arturo performances at the Met. I agree with you, Gedda was a great singer, whilst in the right repertoire, of course.
including Domingo in the same group as Gedda and Pavarotti is silly, sorry. >_>;;
