“One of the greatest. “ or “in my opinion the greatest”! At that level they simply cannot be compared to one another. And moreover we generally don’t know all the others.
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.
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. 💔
'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.
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.
This is an amazing technique! Looks almost like playback singing! To look this relaxed when singing difficult pieces is extraordinary! Kaufmann should watch this 😄

C'est un bonheur qu'il y ait tant de merveilleuses interprétations (dont celle-là !) de cette mélodie ;laissons bien sûr les préférences s'exprimer, en termes certes parfois excessifs, mais passionnés :là est l'essentiel.
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!
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
At the moment (3:00) when Nikolai Gedda takes the top note, the camera is switched from his close-up, to a distant side view. For me , the director of the video shooting should have been put on a stake .
Not falsetto, head voice connected to chest resulting in a somewhat mixed tone, but with good cord closure and harmonics. Beautiful indeed, Gedda is a master of this fabulous head voice.
I'm not really a fan of Gedda's voice, but for a 55 years old who recorded more operas that anyone on earth, his voice is still fresh. And I've never heard such a clear falsettone. I'm tempted to hear more of Gedda.
Ma e' impersonale, voce dal timbro banale, asettico. Preferisco un cantante meno tecnico ma piu' convincente. L'ho ascoltato dal vivo tante volte ma preferivo un'altro.
@@fabriziogarzi9892 Il timbro non lo si può scegliere, ci viene fornito. La tecnica è pressoché perfetta. L'interpretazione è un fatto di gusto personale. Comunque, a proposito di timbri e tecniche inascoltabili, il fatto che in carriera abbia guadagnato molto meno di Bocelli mi dà molto da pensare...
@@tompussina il timbro certo che ci viene fornito ma non e' la tecnica che fa il cantante ma fa il tenore, che e' altra cosa. Un tenore col timbro asettico e poco sensuale non puo' interpretare l'ooera romantica. Ovvero lo fa ma i risultati sono risicati. Un Manrico o un Edgardo o un De Grieux asettici...Il successo di Bocelli e' dato da altri motivi extra musicali o comunque lo seguono i canzonettari.
@@fabriziogarzi9892 Ma anche Kraus ha un timbro molto asettico. Io, come tenore che ha csntato per oltre venticinque anni, penso di poter dire che una tecnica come quella di Gedda, non naturale ma affinata da grande studio, è assai ammirevole. Altrimenti Pertile dovremmo cancellarlo dagli annali della Lirica e, probabilmente, anche Bergonzi...
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.
Великолепный!!! Швед с русской душой. Сын и гордость двух народов. Потрясающий тенор. Жаль, что так больше не поют. Эту запись можно слушать часами. Спасибо!
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.
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.
The older generation of tenors learned the art of singing ,
Where are the great vocal teachers who know their stuff and won’t screw you over so you have to have a microphone in your face all the time?

Maestro Gedda was one of the last of the great tenors of the golden age of opera! RIP Maestro
The best in 20th century
“One of the greatest. “ or “in my opinion the greatest”! At that level they simply cannot be compared to one another. And moreover we generally don’t know all the others.
Merveilleuse musique et merveilleuse voix.❤❤❤

But the camera zoomed out during the part in which I liked to see his face.
It's High C mezza voce no less (which is strange, it should be High B)
can´t you hear his falsetto??

Beautiful Nicolai. And wonderful pianist
One of the truly greath tenors from the past in the peak of his power.
He use the swedish way of singing same as Björling, Nilsson, Lind etc....
Could you explain that further, please?
They were educated in Sweden of swedish teachers .
The difference beetwen Italy singers is they always sing not shouts.😅

Wow.......The Russian audience would appreciate what they were hearing- one of the greatest tenors who ever lived, singing at the peak of his career.
Mark Peterson He had been singing for some 30 years in 1980. Twilight of his career, and he sounds wonderful.

Yes! After having their great Lemechev. Similar mastery!
Agree
With out quistion one of the best tenors ever.
" mezza voce" bellisima !!! un grande tenor, entre los 5 mas grandes de la historia, la voz en la "mascara" la hermosa vieja escuela de canto.
Who are your other four? I hope Jussi is amongst them, and Gigli?
great singer overlooked by many ger
O mon Dieu! Ma quelle finesse!... c'est vraiment extraordinaire!
First time hearing him. I literally cried from beginning to end!
Me too 😭😥😢😓
Outstanding, and wonderful, Je croix entendre encore en GEDDA, The most noble of singers- Gedda, Splendid
Magnifique interprétation! Très belle prononciation du français! Contente de faire connaissance avec Nicolai Gedda!
Les pêcheurs de perles de Bizet ....c'est magnifique ! 😂😂😂

Personnellement, je préfère qu'il y ait l'accompagnement orchestral de l'original: je trouve l'orchestration de G.Bizet tout-à-fait remarquable.
I think his performance is the best of them all.
You might want to consider this: ua-cam.com/video/Q1rTaw3O1wI/v-deo.html

pazzesco, bravissimo
The greatest tenor!!
For me, that has to be dear Jussi, but this rendition is astonishing, just beautiful, so pure and unforced.
Una mezza voce molto simile a Gigli!!! Splendida performance...grazie
Che meraviglia.
so good, so beautiful...
Это прекрасно!
stunning！
The Great Magician!,,Love you!
Fabuleux!
Best rendition ever, ever!
Utterly wonderful (bloody good pianist too!)
Bravissimo, commovente con la sua bellissima voce
Muito chique e elevado nível esse senhor possuía. Meus preferidos Gigli e Gedda. Acima de ouro. Diamantes Divinos.💎💎💎💎💎
I had always considered Gigli's performance of this to be unmatched, now I hear this, and I think maybe I was wrong.
Exquisite.Thank you for posting♥
Unbelievable!!!!
Por favor escucha a la soprano Kasondra Kazanjian, una voz maravillosa
@@vincec8218 no
C est très doux, sans forcer, c est exquis
I can't just listen to this, I have to watch his beautiful smiling face. He is happy how this is going.
Obrigada TENOR, pela SENTIDA interpretação.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏👏👏👏
The master tenor par Excellence
One of the best in the world
The best voice ever
Good, but not the best. Bonisolli, Del Monaco, Gigli are much better!
Björling is the best even Gedda agreed.

he sings it like an adolescent perfecty !!!! the voice of young boy in a body of an adult ....so nice !!
Excelente interpretación
The most beautiful falsetto I've ever had the pleasure of melting to. His voice was like butter.
Not falsetto, head voice connected to chest resulting in a somewhat mixed tone, but with good cord closure and harmonics. Beautiful indeed, Gedda is a master of this fabulous head voice.
Just great. He is one of my 4 favourit teno 4:07 😂rs
Incredibile
Que bella su voz, como hecho para él... sublime
Bravo

Opera stupenda, bravissimo il tenore.
Spectacular!!!!!!

falsetto IS ALWAYS effortless and EASY!
Vive Alain vanzo !
Концертмейстер-мастер...Не Ерохин ли?....Кто напомнит?!
Nobody...sorry
Io credo che la meta' dell'aria l'ha cantata in falsetto rinforzato. Voce piena solo nei centri.
I'll pass. Search for Alfredo Kraus singing this and you'll understand true mastery.
Wunderbar!aber für mich Alfredo Kraus,viel besser....
Posiblemente sí, pero esta es una de las mejores con la de Kraus, Fleta, Di Stefano (joven), Gigli y algunos pocos mas ( pero pocos).
Aprende,Spyres.Y eso que ya estaba pa la corneta el tio Nico.
GROSSARTIG
Gedda is great, but IMO Kraus is much better in this aria. Way more effortless and legato.
He sung a Great Part in Falsetto Modus, a pity 🎵🎵🎵
It looks and sounds dubbed.
Потрясающе, как голос рождается где-то внутри при почти закрытом рте.
A true master of his ART - WONDERFUL, and what a marvelous technique . I have always loved his voice .
Please check out soprano Kasondra Kazanjian
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 ...
J’aimerais une liste de Lui si possible Merci 😍😍😍
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.
yes yes you are so right about him.....
I wish mine were half as stable as his. Maybe it’s just my nerves…

Que facilidad en el canto y en el paso de la voz bellísima interpretación de un grande, dejó a los rusos extasiados 👏👏👏
Les pêcheurs de perles de Bizet !😂😂
Fantastic performance! Thank you.
Superb. Praise God.
Una linea di canto sottile e solida allo stesso tempo! Grande Gedda!
Великолепный!!!
Швед с русской душой. Сын и гордость двух народов. Потрясающий тенор. Жаль, что так больше не поют.
Эту запись можно слушать часами. Спасибо!
I have listened to this over and over. It is magnificent.
Such feeling, impeccable phrasing and wondeful placement on the high tones. Absolutely divine messa di voce.
Une grande virtuosité ajouté à une grande sensibilité. la plus belle version
Après celle d alain vanzo bien sur
чудо… и как на него смотрит хор… чудо
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.
He sounds incredible.
Это непостижимо!!! Какая вокальная культура, фраза, резонаторное близкое пиано... Браво Гедда!!!
Une voix de légende. Magnifique. 🌹
Je crois entendre encore la voix d'un idole de ma jeunesse!
