Beautiful, Björling and Gedda, swedish tenors, first class.

What a spectacular performance from Maestro Gedda. This aria showcased the full spectrum of his versatile voice. From darker timber in the first half to the solf and warm timber in the second half. Excellent breath control to sing those slow tempo phrases so masterfully. Of course, his signature ringing high notes to end it all. That natural vibrato in his high notes that created the ringing effect just doesn't often get captured as well as it should in studio recordings. Here you can hear it so clearly. Just amazing. Thank you for posting.

Maestro Gedda: Unforgotten, immortal, unique ... Thanks Janja for remembering the King of Tenors!

Thank you, Mike. It was my pleasure.

What a noble Radames! Magnificent emission of the sound and beautiful majestic sonority of real YOUNG HERO's voice! The best cantabile in the slowest tempo - a great lesson for any singer!

[@Herur22]

One of the greatest ever tenors! This is beautiful.

Thank you, Terry.

He was a nearly vocal alchemist. The slow tempo, dark timbre, shining last note. - unbelievable. I guess it is a recording only. But in the title - live performance? Is it possible?

[@Herur22]

Maybe you are right and this wasn't a live performance.

[@trilobit4]

​@@Herur22It does not matter. He was simply the best. He always put his soul into singing. Always...Also in the cases when he lost and performance is not as good as usual. I have a few singing gods: Leontyne Price (She was the first opera singer I met nearly 40 years ago. She is responsible for my opera admiration), Shirley Verrett, Franco Bonisolli, Leonard Warren, Nicolai Gedda, Jon Vickers, and a few others. I can forgive nearly anything to them.

esecuzione troppo lenta!!! ma Gedda ha classe e fraseggia in modo esemplare con acuti folgorante e un legato da manuale! grazie
