Nicolai Gedda live 1969, Una furtiva lagrima, Gaetano Donizetti

[@Manyironsinthefire]

When my son transitioned from baritone to tenor at 15, I told him that Gedda was someone to learn from and emulate, because he makes producing beautiful tone look effortless, and his diction is always flawless. Now my son is in his early thirties and singing opera in Chicago, specializing in the Mozart roles.

Che Bella Voce !!! Bravo Nicolai !!! 👍

[@vuxdinh]

I can praise Gedda for days but for this particular live performance, I admire his vocal control. How effortless he made it sound from top to bottom. He just stood there, opened his mouth and sang with the typical bright timbre that he was well known for. That slight smirk after the last note was like "this was easy". Many tenors when singing live don't look this relaxed and in control at all. It seems like they are wrestling with their own voices to make it sound good. In some cases, I feel some bottons on their jackets about to burst open when they try to hit those long/high notes. Way too laboured unlike Gedda did it here. Truly the maestro.

[@Herur22]

Yes, I agree with you. Thank you for watching.

I was priviliged to have met Nicolai Gedda in Stockholm and even had a few lessons when he was well above 70! Still his voice was AMAZING! And I also had Jan Eyron his accompanist as my accompanist! We used to have long sessions of coaching, he never wanted to stop! He was great! I learned so much from Jan too!!!! Great teachers both! Great memories, they made me sing like a goddess! So optimistic and well meaning teachers with a lot of love! ❤️ 😊🎉 and I was born 1969 😅 when this recording is from

[@Herur22]

How nice for you.

[@elgato2835]

RIP maestro and give my regards to Jussi when you meet him.

[@PippaAT]

Beloved Jussi. ❤️

[@BazzasBest]

A master class in how to hit every note dead center - whether on full power or on those exquisite diminuendos.

[@Herur22]

Thank you, Barry. I am always glad to read your comments.

[@PippaAT]

Oh that was superb. Gedda is fast becoming my favourite after the great Jussi.

[@1stJJ]

Lovely, every phrase is like a singing lesson!

[@Herur22]

Hi! Thank you for listening.

[@道-p2e]

This is so special, 1969 and live video, gorgeous artist at prime... Bravo!!!

[@daphnebeloved]

RIP, maestro!!!So tender, emotive, free, expressive and nuanced,the pianissimo and the spin of the voice , superb....such a good technique, control and musicality, heartfelt!!

[@jean-pierredevent970]

The ease and so the mastery of the voice is baffling. I wonder if he ever had periods of crisis too.

[@PippaAT]

He looks like a man who delighted in his voice, and in sharing it.

[@peterclegg2609]

Only discovered the truly masterful voice of Nicolai in the last couple of days ,lots of listening ahead.

[@Herur22]

Enjoy :)

[@PippaAT]

I am in that position now. Happy days to come.

[@theon9575]

Unbelievable technique. He makes perfection look easy.

[@Herur22]

I agree, Judit :). Thank you for watching.

[@0390403903]

R.I.P. Dear MAESTRO!

[@brianmckay9976]

What an artist! I couldn't fault a note of this performance. As 1stJJ says, "Every note is like a singing lesson;" It held me spellbound. Thanks so much for this.

[@Herur22]

Thank you for watching :)

[@1stJJ]

Hi, Brian, I just repeated my comment on another video, not even realising I'd said this about every note being a singing lesson. Really such a pleasure to hear a perfect singer singing just perfectly. RIP Maestro.

[@arminearmen573]

Beatiful voice

[@LostHatProductions]

This man heard a young Brian Blessed sing when he was in drama school in Bristol UK, and he wanted to whisk him off there and then to be a star at La Scala. Brian, clearly blown by the proposition, had to decline; drama and was his forte, and more expressive. Of course Brian’s now a national treasure in Britain, Nicolai certainly saw the potential in him.

[@tklogan111809]

what a treat.

Thank you for watching, astroboy.

Conosco Šempas, porque yo vivia con mis padres a Nova Gorica hasta que me fui para estudiar a Ljubljana. A causa de su apellido he pensado que usted puede ser de origen eslovena. Cordiales saludos también de mi lado.
