The gold standard for this role. He plays it as if he was wasting away in prison, reserving full wattage until the close of the sale. Perfect on so many levels.
Very interesting version owing specific kind artistry and beauty. If the god of singers has any name, his name is Nicolai Gedda. I have always known that he is a first-class tenor. But this level surprised me incredibly. He is (was) incredible. I am listening to his recordings for the last few months systematically. Of course, he has some failures and something is not very good - from time to time. On contrary, in selected parts, he has no competition. It is hardly possible to match this level. His careful husbanding of his voice is unusual barely comparable with somebody else. Neverending admiration.
Fantastic Florestan!!! The first recitativo so impressively demonstrates the sonority of a noble heltentenor. Plus such a deep sense and dramatic expression in every intonation, in every phrase! Just a revelation!
Nicht nur, dass es für Florestan in der Oper eine ans Unmenschliche gereichende harte Prüfung ist, diese Arie ist es auch für jeden Sänger, und Gedda hat sie gleichermaßen mit Bravour und mit Tiefe bestanden.
Gedda is one of the most inspiring tenors.. Being able to have fluency in more than six languages and singing every role type from bel canto rep to Wanger proves that is one the greatest tenors of all time. He is one of the only tenors where I can literally feel the emotion from the way he uses his voice without having to watch him live or on screen.
Omg...absolutelly fantastic... just a little bit fast the allegro of Und spür' ich nicht linden...but amazing interpretation... who was the Orchestra and the wonderful conductor!!!
Probably more what the composer intended. Its become a helden tenor role, but actually has more in common with Mozart than Wagner. Gedda was a genius and could sing anything, in any language.
@@joga1943 Si usted es incapaz de apreciar por sí mismo la diferencia entre uno y otro, desde el Gott inicial, nada de lo que yo pueda decir le va a servir para nada. Solo le diré que no se trata de color vocal sino de la limpieza y la naturalidad de la emisión y de la proyección de la voz. En fin, siga usted con lo suyo, si le gusta.

So exciting, especially about 8 mins. Love that bit. What a singer! Thank you.

He sounds like a dramatic tenor. I know, it is possible with the microphone. But it is still voice magic.
his sound- projection was outstanding.
Wow, what a gem!
Sublimissime !
RIP Herr Gedda
Fantastic! You really have a great collection here thanks for sharing

Immenso ❤️
Iam a Ben Hepner fan but he is fantastic
Phenomenal!!!I would like to know which orchestra plays and who is conductor??!!
Le sommet de la musique?
Moving performance from a great singer. Jonas Kaufmann should learn from him, if that would be possible.
No, it is absolutely something that cannot be learned, although Gedda was a dedicated voice teacher and might disagree...
Bitte was genau sollte JK hier von Gedda lernen?????
