Swedish tenor Gösta Winbergh (December 13, 1943 March 18, 2002). From a performance of Die Zauberflöte in Geneva in the 1980s (don't know the exact year). Conducted by Rolf Reuter.
A great Mozartian performance, IMHO. Balances vocal beauty, lyricism, and elegance -- resulting in an expressive, yet prudent rendition of a done-to-death aria.
As a tenor who also sings Tamino, it is nice to know that even a rendition as great as this one receives shy applause from the audience... Tamino is such an ungrateful role! RIP Gösta, you rock!
In my opinion they didn't know what hit them after Windbergh was done, which explains the tentative applause. He took their breath away with this rendition.
Is that because the audience individuals are not usually into spiritual development themselves and can't appreciate it? So very much so in Sweden, where Papageno seems to be relatable to more people, sadly
Truly disgusting staging! But what a voice! What a vocal control, yet expressiveness! Gösta Windbergh certainly was Mozartian par excellence, singing with rare sensitivity music that requires that above all. Thanks for posting. Much appreciated.
Well...to be a superstar not always leads to high quality... and not being one do not leads to poor quality. The Mozart roles (and others) of this man where just great... rich and secure voice. Great!!
Why gone too soon?
Fantastic tenor he was!
コメントを敢えて書き込む時、わたしは演奏者たちの肯定的に評価できる美点だけを取り上げて、否定的な欠点などは控える、という方針で臨みます。Gosta Winbergh という往年の名テノール歌手を聴いたのはこれが初めてです。とてもsweetな甘い声をしておられる、美しい声のテノールですね。これでまたひとり美しいテノールを見つけることができました。
A hugely underated Tenor RIP 🙏

Una delizia. Nessuna forzatura, splendido legato, finalmente un Mozart virile e dolce nello stesso tempo. BRAVISSIMO !!
What a beautiful voice.
Himmlisch!
Absolut perfekt! Und noch dazu schön!!!
According to the archives of the opera house, this is from the 1978/79 season in Geneva - a couple years before he left Stockholm for Zurich.
Was für ein Künstler!
Prodigieux! Comme toujours d'ailleurs, avec cet artiste d'exception.
Truly disgusting staging!

Superlativo unico!
How did he do it!
It's look so easy!
bellissima voce! grazie per le vibrazioni che ci dai.
CELESTIAL !!!!!!!!!!!!
2002-1942= 59. I wish he had lived a 1000 years, but his case was not of a tragic death at 36, Wunderlich's was.
Why did he die so young?
Edda Moser. :D
