Aha! I just wanted to respond that you probably meant Madama Butterfly. At the time (1955)he didn't sing it in the theatre, he only recorded the thing. He sung Butterfly in Met in 1961. By that time his voice already became bigger.
It is very deep, he is proof that your speaking voice doesn't always reflect your singing voice. If you take a listen to the interview about Rigoletto with Gobbi and Sutherland, he has an exceedingly deep and velvety speaking voice.
Certainement, c'est un lyrique intégral. Bien sûr il peut chanter des rôles légers et des rôles de demi caractère grâce à la souplesse de sa voix. Quant à calaf, ce rôle est trop lourd pour un lyrique .
Absolutely not agree with that statement. Gedda was simply ouststanding in many ways,but he does not sound italian in this. That said,in fact I adore his voice in lyric parts.But here he just sounds too correct in a way,protecting the voice here and there and attempting to sing some few gliss./portam. Just listen to Gigli,Lanza,Stefano,Pav a.o. I also have an CD where Gedda sings Radames, Calaf and such heavy things, but man that rec is boring, even though he's one of the greatest singers.
The ignorants that suggests that Gedda lacks heart,so listen to this. Truly beautiful!
BRAVO!!
Superb!
Had not heard his speaking voice before. Very interesting, it was deeper than I would expect coming from a high tenor like him.
Bravo!!!
Bravissimo
Perfect!
Gedda sings Italian music as Italian, German as German and Russian as Russian...
Bravo!
Gran comentario. Es cierto. Él tenía la capacidad para cantar de una manera muy pulcra y al estilo que se requería.

Yes, yes, yes, Baldchemist!
Tout à fait d'accord avec toi, Radamès!
Que lindo!

why couldn't we see the complete piece...weird way to do it!
Gedda is a pure lyric tenor. Not a light tenor.
His lower register has far more timbrethan any that you mention. The Baldchemist

But he had never sung Turandot!
At least not Calaf, but Altoum ....
