He was Gedda after all. The voice and the versality of a brilliant tenor that he was. One thing about his voice was so special to me was that he maintained the same quality and tone his entire career. At the age of 72 in this video, his bright and young quality of his voice was exactly the same as when he was younger. Just amazing. Many famous voices out there did change as they got older. Usually got darker and cloudier but not for Gedda. The maestro surely knew how to keep his tool well-maintained.
There are not many 72 year old tenors who would sound as good as Mr. Gedda does here. It's a real testament to his technique as well as to the wise decisions he made about his career and repertoire over the course of his long career.
He did opera. Did he also do an operetta career? He could fill all opera houses just with the leading parts in great operettas. When he was in his best years, he must have been a perfect caracter or personality for the leading parts in great operettas. Such a great fantastic voice that tenor had. Bravo, bravo Nicolai Gedda!
He did it all in every language perfectly. Light roles and heavy, his voice lasted a long time. Great technique, although his mouth positions always seemed strange. Try to sing like that. Can't be done, but something worked.
ich wage zu sagen, dass er der vielseitigste Tenor im allgemeinen war. Mir fiele kein anderer wahrhaft großer Tenor ein, der von Bach bis Puccini geglänzt hat .

This is an amazing performance for a 72 year old man. What a classy singer, too.
Gedda...One of the best tenor's of the century!! Never to be forgotten!! Bravo, Maestro!!
Lovely performance after a wonderfully long top career. He still applied all his craft at 72 and that great note near the end shows it.
A wonderful tenor. Past his prime. One has only to go back in time to hear what an extraordinary performer he was.
Eine seiner letzten öffentlichen Auftritte...1997 !!!! Großartig !!!

Beautiful and wonderful, at 72 wow!!!
My hearth is your! Nicilay, wunderschön
RIP Maestro Gedda.
This man introduced me to Mozart, and to classical singing with his 1952 Mozart aria album. I first heard it in 1960 or so.
It is uncredible!!!!!!!
El rey de los tenores sin dudas
Heard this in Swedish when he was younger, so beautiful. Jussi Björling has made this too.. but it lacks all that Mr Gedda has
