The most perfect tenor vocal technique of all time! Never has any man perfected mask singing to such a degree, or sung so perfectly idiomatic in so many languages! Born with a beautiful tone, but Novikova transformed him from the 1950's to late 60's. Such a beautiful gift for phrasing/shaping phrases, too. Listen to his Philadelphia Bellini with Sutherland for the most visceral singing on record!! It's electric!

One can the try greats. A lovely distinctive voice with a superb technique and effortless top. Luckily I heard his farewell Covent Garden concert. He sang in 4 or 5 languages perfectly and gave a retrospective of his great roles. A unique artist. The simply don’t make them like that anymore.

Gedda is really in a class of his own in terms of language facility & musicality. His timbre, beautiful as it is, may fall a bit short of Bjorling, Simoneau or Wunderlich but he exceeded them in terms of variety of repertoire & how he handled everything from Bach, Lieder, Donizetti, Mozart even some Puccini & Verdi. His voice also lasted into his 70’s for I heard him in Hamburg in recital in January 1998 when he was close to 73 & he sounded remarkable. He was always a lyric tenor so I am NOT comparing him to spinto or dramatic voices but only within the vocal category that he adhered to throughout his career. Certainly among tenor singers of the century his position remains absolutely unique.

Согласен с теми кто говорит что Гедда один из самых гениальных теноров своего времени и вообще из когда либо бывших, и как человек очень хороший, прослушал его ""звучащие мемуары", очень вдохновляет. Ни в коем случае не говорю что он работал со своим аппаратом меньше чем кто-либо из тех кто приближался к такой безупречной технике, но я как дипломированный педагог по вокалу, огромный фанат оперы и тенор могу сказать что тут имеет место быть природа (нужно пару минут послушать того или иного исполнителя чтоб понять занимался ли он постановкой дыхания, собирал ли свою технику десятки и более лет или это уже было с рождения как абсолютный слух...т.е не был потерян конект с дыханием с того момента, когда человек начинает говорить и вокальное дыхание для того чтоб можно было долго и громко кричать чтоб мама услышала ребенка) Я согласен с выражением что школа вокала это школа дыхания, и именно этому посвящается долгие года, порой десятки лет. Могу пошутить и сказать что все природники это унижение для всех остальных, кто как бы не пытался и не старался вернуть утерянное и собрать свой аппарат, свою технику, никогда не будет звучать так как человек, который это все не терял) Во время обучения в РАМ им Гнессиных и работы в ведущих театрах мск я много слышал природников, но всегда с восторгом, всегда старался чему-то научится) и я учусь каждый день и думаю как Архипова в том же возрасте что и она это сказала "я только сейчас поняла как нужно петь" =)) Не все поймут о чем я) Но нужно понять одно, что я очарован этим искусством и буду всегда любить и восхищаться этим всем)

Gedda is the embodiement of bel canto technique married with eastern theological lithurgy roots. He is an aristocratic singer - due to his heritage he would not doubt have been appointed as an Excellence under the former Table of Ranks and thus belonged the highest aristocracy of the former Russia. And, that is it, Gospodin Gedda, un chevalier sans peur et sans reproche!

I never met him, but this video show what a great person he was, not only his unique beautiful voice, but he was also a good man with a warm human personality. And I must add, that there is something similar to Jussi Björling’s personality. I am convinced, that also Jussi had wanted to teach young opera singers, if he had not died. And both these two fantastic singers had melancholy, sadness, in their personality. And that we can hear when they sing, also when they sing a positive aria. Although it is a joyful aria, they show the heart in the singing, the voice. And the audience can feel that expression. A very fine video. Thanks.

Naja, unser zunehmend arrogante Super Tenor Jonas Kaufmann könnte da noch was lernen. Ist ja ganz unglaublich was der Gedda drauf hatte. Keinerlei Anschein von Mühe auch bis hoch hinauf. Sowas gibt es heute leider nicht mehr. Ich will nichts von den heutigen top Tenören weg nahmen aber ich meine noch immer das mit Pavarotti und nun auch Gedda die letzten der wirklich großartigen Tenöre ausgestorben sind. Diese Gesangs Technik wird ja auch gar nicht mehr Unterrichtet. Schade aber es ist schön das Sie diese Doku hochgeladen haben.

I agree. Gedda has the most beautiful tenor of all. Some others are of course also technically advanced, or may take higher notes or whatever - but according to me Gedda has the most beautiful voice! Speaking at least six languages he could also give each song justice in its original language. A truly great singer and I'm very glad I could hear him live.

Kesting erzählt - wie so oft - unsinniges Zeug. An Gedda's Stimme musste man sich nicht "erst gewöhnen". Es war eine der edelsten Tenorstimmen aller Zeiten, ein exquisiter Klang, beinahe schon aristokratisch. Gewöhnungsbedürftig sind die brüllenden Stimmen, die man uns heute vorsetzt ...
