Sometimes you don't need to belt out notes to get noticed....he sings this with the most tender voice and the beauty comes from gentleness of those notes......simply splendid... i got chills all over my body in the last part of that song
¡¡¡QUÉ DOCUMENTO ESTUPENDO!!! Descomunal...!!! Una versión aún muy superior a las de estudio con Ackermann, con Allers y con Mattes ("Bella Venezia" Lp). Un artista fuera de serie, sin herederos. Ey! Beczala: A estudiar mucho!...
May I say, that this WDR-Production "Hofball für den Walzerkönig" was made in 1966. Another guest was young Lucia Popp. After this performance, Gedda received an k.u.k - Award for his singing - and Gedda modestly replied: "Aber, warum...?" The Teleplay is a little bit ridiculous, but another fine document of the young Gedda on Video. Mike
".K.u.K." means "Kaiserlich und königlich" (Imperial and royal). It´s use to the so-called "Dual Monarchy" of Austria and Hungary from 1867 to 1918 (the end of WW1). The most famous composer of this era was J. Strauss II. Mike.
This must be one of my favorite performances ever. All categories. Thank you for posting!

God, what an ease, what a composure. What love for the material.
As always, Gedda, great Gedda...

I am wondering how you can possibly know all these things, Mike. You're wonderful.

By the way - what exactly is this k.u.k.?

Ah, that. I was familiar with that expression (also Slovenia belonged to that empire), but somehow I didn't connect it here with an award. Thank you.
