How very beautifully Gedda speaks English! Remarkable...
@photo1613 күн бұрын
Gedda's emission of tone was incredibly beautiful. I will always remember the high B he sang in the tenor's last act scene in Lucia at the Met, with Sills. I t was the most lovely sound imaginable, utterly free, not hard, but large and with a remarkable sort of thrust...a truly great singer who clearly knew exactly what he was doing...

Nicolai Gedda, George London, Helen donath, Irmgard Seefried, & Hilde Gueden were Novikova’s pupils. My teacher studied with her for 5 years in NY and hung around her studio and had great stories.

Gedda was a great artist. Beautiful voice, wide-ranging in compass and overall technique. And so superb with languages. I recall that Gedda was the only non-native English speaker in the debut cast of Barber's "Vanessa," yet some critics said his English diction was the best. Hear Gedda's "Messiah" recording from the mid-1960s. Beautiful English, no accent.

It is said that he had a talent in language. His English proved that. And he had interest in many things. He even read literature in original language. And he was from a poor family. What a self-made man!

Helen Donath was also a student of Paola Novikova, and sang well into her 70s. Donath's voice remained virtually unchanged throughout her career, due to the technique she learned from Novikova.

@@philipkuttner7945 The only other singer who preserved her voice practically unchanged over the course of her career is Julia Varady. And she didn't do it by being cautious; Verdi's Abigaille was a major role in her repertoire. These singers were marvels.

I would like to hear why Gedda made extreme facial postures when he sang. It was distracting in live performance but must have been part of a technique that allowed him to sing everything, in every language, over many years.
@PippaAT Жыл бұрын
I adore the way he uses his facial muscles and expressions. Even the slightest movement made a difference in his delivery, and he had such a beautiful face. I love his smile, almost shy, but happy with his performance.

@PippaAT I think he was shy. I met him once and he seemed so. I once heard him say he suffered from depression in perfect english:" I'm not really a cold fish, but I cant always give an answer when someone asks " what's the matter". Gedda and I share that Scandinavian trait.We also share a birthday. He was a genius no doubt.

That’s because he doesn’t know. Certainly, if we are talking about the likes of Battistini, that school of Bel Canto singing is long gone. The art is lost to us.

Gedda explained very well his technical roots. I agree with him that it is the "old" Italian school, not the old Italian school of the 1960, like del Monaco etc. what today is seen as "old Italian school". When you listen to Battestini or de Lucia you hear much less robust voices. Or losten to the bass Italo Tajo, this was belcanto.
