Maestro Gedda was one of the last of the great tenors of the golden age of opera! RIP Maestro

[@zelimircabraja7529]

The best in 20th century

[@marylouantonsson5836]

He sings so soft and knows what he's doing. ❤❤❤ I'm amazed. Thank you Nicolas. ❤

[@ironcladstudios971]

Everyone's talking about Gedda, though warranted! But nobody's mentioning the wonderful piano work that helps amplify the raw emotion of this performance. Both the pianist and Gedda did splendiferous work making a stunning piece of art for all to see!

[@MMB.__]

true, the piano is stunning

[@davidjames-maddaford4531]

Sometimes within this immaculate performance it sounds as though the accompaniment manipulates and takes over as the principal in the relationship. In short both are just brilliant for each other

[@michelrocker9044]

Personnellement, je préfère qu'il y ait l'accompagnement orchestral de l'original: je trouve l'orchestration de G.Bizet tout-à-fait remarquable.

[@Paulsupraxjr]

Such a beautiful voice

[@kathypetersen7558]

Superb. Praise God.

[@giggles2302]

The look of the chorus ladies says it all. They're so completely enraptured, as am I. Maestro Gedda had THE MOST BEAUTIFUL male voice I've ever had the PLEASURE of enjoying.

[@tenorschofield]

MARVELOUS NICOLAI GEDDA!!!

[@paddyrafter5214]

Beautiful Nicolai. And wonderful pianist

[@warnmeanul1043]

The head voice of Gedda is unmatched... You even wonder if it's head voice. So plain, so sweet, so controlled, so easy, so..., so ...

[@yvettematte5432]

J’aimerais une liste de Lui si possible Merci 😍😍😍

[@mimmipersson9291]

I agree. He switches from head to chest so eloquently that you hardly notice it. And head voice so powerful. Total voice control. In awe.

[@user-jm2tn8jv4y]

Великолепный!!! Швед с русской душой. Сын и гордость двух народов. Потрясающий тенор. Жаль, что так больше не поют. Эту запись можно слушать часами. Спасибо!

[@PippaAT]

I have listened to this over and over. It is magnificent.

[@shodanart]

Gedda floats a sustained heartbreakingly beautiful high note at 3:01, mezza voce, and again at 3:28 both effortless! A touching performance with the haunting melody from a single piano, and a slight smile, Gedda knows his voice, even at this age, is in fine form. Thank you for posting this elegant version. 💔

[@hankseo755]

But the camera zoomed out during the part in which I liked to see his face.

[@occamrazor5180]

It's High C mezza voce no less (which is strange, it should be High B)

[@carloszalve3976]

can´t you hear his falsetto??

[@karmelicanke]

'Gedda floats a sustained heartbreakingly beautiful high note at 3:01'. beautiful description. In 1974 I heard on radio Gedda perform this aria, recorded I believe in the 60's and let me tell you, I shiver at the thought of it. The floating, sustained note was so effortless, so tenderly soft, carrying through a musical silent note to the descent. Again, effortless, no straining, a gentle quiet note which, as you say, was heartbreakingly beautiful to be unforgettable and unmatched. Sadly, I cannot find that performance on youtube.

[@matthenrick5531]

In my mind the most complete musician and finest all round tenor of the second half of the 20th century!!

[@rodolphedelagree1239]

Tears

[@500carl]

I will add the same comment. Listening to Nikolai Gedda sing this aria from Bizet's Pearl Fishers is just heartbreaking. I find it hard to comprehend the technicalities and style as the emotion is so over powering. Each time I listen and watch this video I am overcome by the piercing of my heart. And didn't the audience respond. A remarkable video.

[@josemartin9974]

Il y a des voix qui restent intactes ,dieu merci

[@centaurocarnero6061]

O mon Dieu! Ma quelle finesse!... c'est vraiment extraordinaire!

[@petternilsson4393]

One of the truly greath tenors from the past in the peak of his power.

[@petternilsson4393]

He use the swedish way of singing same as Björling, Nilsson, Lind etc....

[@PippaAT]

Could you explain that further, please?

[@petternilsson4393]

They were educated in Sweden of swedish teachers .

[@petternilsson4393]

The difference beetwen Italy singers is they always sing not shouts.😅

[@BorisKalashnikov]

Это непостижимо!!! Какая вокальная культура, фраза, резонаторное близкое пиано... Браво Гедда!!!

[@ronaldgoff7499]

great singer overlooked by many ger

[@jirizednik6218]

I am still returning. His voice is so creamy, so controlled, so beautiful. He sings with a trace of a typical smile without any visible effort. His versatility was incredible indeed. He could sing as soft as Gigli. His ringing voice shock shocks me incredibly in selected pars, mainly from a certain age. Neverending admiration

[@shodanart]

Hah! Yes, I noticed that smile. I think he knows (rightfully) that his voice is in fine form. So effortlessly hitting that mezza voce high sustain, like no other.

[@trilobit4]

@@shodanart I saw his smile suddenly drop. Something happened, I wouldn't even notice. Suddenly I saw a professional singer, Maestro Gedda, watching his breath, every tone, every phrase. He was great, as always. I do not know what happened. I must say that I do not know many other artists like him. Actually, I only know him. I heard him indisposed in the archive live footage, I don't know what it was (maybe Tosca??). It wasn't very good. He fought like a lion and lost. But we are only human. I have a suspicion that he was the greatest lyric tenor of XX. century. I do not like comparisons like this. Pavarotti, di Stefano, and others are also great But Gedda sang the Czech opera "Dalibor" in Czech. I could not believe it. He was simply incredible. Neverending admiration for all unique singers and mainly for the immortal voice of Nicolai Gedda.

[@giggles2302]

Creamy is an excellent word to describe his voice. Sooo beautiful.

[@cristinadragomirescu1138]

[@jdw9397]

First time hearing him. I literally cried from beginning to end!

[@whiteswan5829]

Me too 😭😥😢😓

[@PippaAT]

I can't believe how effortless he makes this appear. Though Bjorling is my idol, I have always thought Gigli's performance of this to be the greatest. Maybe I was wrong.

[@danielkristianson208]

Because of its exceedingly high tessatura, one of the most difficult tenor arias. Gedda is astounding.

[@PippaAT]

Almost as if he didn't sing it, it just emanated from him.

[@oakywood9509]

Since I discovered this version, I find myself coming back and listening to it every single day, and sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. It's in my opinion, with Gigli's version, the most emotional interpretation of this song. You can feel the pain of the words. And the fact that Gedda looks vulnerable on the stage here for some reasons, almost like a child over school stage performing an exam on behalf of all school board, add a lot to the drama of this version. This is Gold. And the low views numbers mean one thing, jewels are always hard to find.

Рад за Вас, Владимир. Услышать Гедду --- немеренное удовольствие, считай СЧАСТЬЕ! Может быть и Вы за меня порадуетесь --- я был одним из 2000 слушателей этого эпохального концерта. Успех Гедды трудно описать, это был триумф. Он несомненно гений вокализации и необыкновенно простой и душевный человек. За автографами стояла громадная очередь, некоторые беседовали с ним запросто. Трепетно храню его автограф на программке и на пластинке.Этим он был искренне удивлён и добавил кроме подписи очень милое пожелание. Редчайший певец, великий!

Amazing, especially from an artist near the end of his career. I saw Gedda in the theater only twice, but I heard him many times on the records with Beverly Sills. In this aria, my gold standard has always been Gedda and Polenzani. Another rendition, from France Has Talent, which I was sure I would detest, was by Stefan Cifolelli. True, he had a microphone for the tv show, but I was amazed by the technique and beautiful timbre, along with the voix mixte and the messa di voce.

[@LoveMusic-pd5iz]

Maestro Gedda is 55 years old here and still with such a superb voice. I thought I heard someone at the end, right before the applause, say, "That was great!" Did anyone else hear this? Or am I hearing wrong?
