What a great voice Gedda had. I personally find it ridiculous to sing like this at the age of 70. You would be lucky not walking with a stick at that age let alone sing operas. His voice still maintained the same young and bright quality that he had his entire career. Just amazing. He really took good care of his instrument. Truly the maestro. Wonder if there will be one like him ever again.
A really great tenor. I must have heard him at the same time in London in his farewell concert at Covent Garden. Never to be forgotten! Thanks so much.
MILAGROSO!!! Un verdadero tour de force a esa edad! Y demostrando que aún estaba en condiciones de seducir con un canto pleno de nuances e intención en la expresión de cada palabra. Artista único e irrepetible que en su diatada carrera interpretó, como nadie, un repertorio tan ecléctico. Muchas gracias por compartirlo! Saludos desde Buenos Aires.
A fantastic tenor! At 70 still sounding great. I have listened to him many times in Sweden in different venues, concert and operas. His recordings are legendary, both operas and operettas.
Once again Brian ,Thank you thank you thank you. I saw this beautiful man at the Melbourne town hall in the 1990s. .( the front row was the Opera Australia including Bobby Gard).This towards the the end of his career, AND HE STILL HAS IT!! My first favourite from early teens in the 1960s. We have had many tenors rise and good ones, but nobody had his technique sweetness and power like his. I spoke to Robert Gard at the intermission, "What are you doing here Mr Gard ?", I said with a smile, "to see our mentor" says Robert.
It will be for ever: What Nicolai Gedda could - only Nicolai Gedda could. Even when he was 70.
Thank you very much.
One of the most extraordinary fine singers of all time!

Thank you Brian...he still sounds wonderful. His high D was in a class by itself.
