Gé Kirsten was one of the great Tenors known in Europe and his amazing Voice and Vocal Range was World Class!!! He could have been the Fourth Tenor with Pavorotti and Company!!! South Africa was SO lucky to gave their own rare, extraordinary Tenor!! God Bless You, Gé!!!
I had the chance to work with him I Bordeaux Festival 1970 hé was with Nancy Tatum I was danceing the next day at thé Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux. his proformace was just wonderfull also from Nancy Tatum never to forget.a very wonderfull personne .I still have that proformace in my mind just like Yesterday.

What a well trained beautiful/ magnificent Tenor Voice and an outstanding Vocal Range! He was definitely WORLD CLASS!!! He definitely belonged on the World Stage with Pavarotti, Domingo and Carrerras! How lucky South Africa were to have such great Talent in Gé Korsten!! What a loss to the Opera and Singing Society! Greetings from Schriesheim, Germany., (Only discovered him on TH-cam recently.)
He was in a complete league of its own. Not necessary for Ge to stand back for the Pavarottis Domingos and Carreras. He could have been easily been the 4th tenor.
Absolutely beautiful voice-not a hint of strain at the top either-would have been a very worthy tenor number 2 in the 3 tenor lineup.baie dankie vir die pragtige clip
Pragtig! Dankie vir die oplaai. Ge het as jong operasanger in 1965 dieselfde aria briljant gesing in 'n opvoering van Turandot in die Kaapse stadsaal, wat baie jare later op cd uitgereik is. Veel beter as Pavarotti!
+Vladimir De Beer Daardie 1965-opname van "Nessun Dorma" is met 'n primitiewe bandopnemer gedoen en is myns insiens nie net die heel beste opname wat Korsten ooit gedoen het nie, maar ook die allerbeste "Nessun Dorma" wat ooit deur enigiemand opgeneem is.
Veel beter as Pavarotti???? Jy weet duidelik nie waarvan jy praat nie. Gé se stem en uitvoering van die lied is wel baie goed, maar kan NIE met Pavarotti vergelyk word nie!
Ek speel sy musiek vandat ek 12 was en het n klomp van sy musiek op cds versamel soos my pa wil se. Ek wens ek kan al die woorde hoor wat hy sing, ek is hardhorend. Ek bly mal oor Ge se stem en als.
Jammer dat hy oorlede is ek sou hom graag wou sien optree maar ek was nog so jonk toe hy al oorlede is. Was van kleintyd mal oor sy musiek. Hy het net n besonderse stem gehad.

Still love listening to Ge sing! One of the most beautiful voices in the world!
This man had a fabulous voice...
What a LEGEND!
A voice that no other tenor can match. Clear, no break in voice just unbelievable.

18 Jaar na sy tragiese dood bly Gé Korsten steeds die beste opera-tenoor wat ons nog op eie bodem gehad het. Wat 'n stem, wat 'n mens...
He really had an amazing voice!! Saw him in at least 15 different operas, and he was always on point. Bravo Ge!!!
I always loved Ge Korsten's voice, even as a child!
Magnifico ❤❤❤❤
one of the world's best
So effortless. Yet still passionate. Sometimes we are forced to believe in more than meets the eye. There are angels amongst us.
A beautiful voice. I did see him perform with Nellie du Toit. Sadly they are no longer with us. I grew up with them.
Ag nee wat Pavarotti ons Ge klink Baie mooier as jy.Beste Sanger ooit in SA en wil amper se wereld.
he was the best boss i ever had! what a gentleman! RIP Ge.
Die enigste tenoor wat by Pavarotti kon kers vashou as dit by Nessum Dorma kom.
Ek dink hy was beter....
Moet se dat Paul Potts is nogal goed ook.
Vir ons sal Ge maar altyd top wees.
@@isrbillmeyer Franco Correli is die best met Nessun Dorma. Maar hierdie is n baie goeie weergehawe.
He was in a complete league of its own.
Not necessary for Ge to stand back for the Pavarottis Domingos and Carreras.
He could have been easily been the 4th tenor.
He is singing the italian language quite well, some people could even mistaked him for an Italian.
Very strong and clear voice
Absolutely beautiful voice-not a hint of strain at the top either-would have been a very worthy tenor number 2 in the 3 tenor lineup.baie dankie vir die pragtige clip

Is mooi ja. Maar Pavarotti bly verseker die beste tenor ooit wat nessum dorma gesing het. Daarna sou ek sê is Andrea Bocelli
Veel beter as Pavarotti???? Jy weet duidelik nie waarvan jy praat nie. Gé se stem en uitvoering van die lied is wel baie goed, maar kan NIE met Pavarotti vergelyk word nie!
@@NXMARAIS you are saying that Andrea Bocelli’s voice is better than Gé Korsten? You’re are dreaming in technicolor!
beautiful

, sal jy dit nie asb op TH-cam sit nie? Asb! Ek wil graag meer klassieke en opera musiek hoor van Gé!
Bravo!
Goed gedoen!
Sielsmooi!
Pragtig
Wat 'n Ligende!
Baie goed
Not bad not bad at all.
