Nicolai Gedda "Jeg elsker dig" (I love you)

[ForAll23]

Please listen to "Aksel Schiøtz - Jeg Elsker Dig (I Love But Thee...", it is a beautiful recording.

@ForAll23

Yes, I have already listened to him. I agree, it's very beautiful.

[kolb94]

Is he singing it in the original norwegian?

[maxhansendk]

@kolb94 This song is written in danish language. Written by no other then Hans Christian Andersen!

HC Andersen, famous writer from Denmark wrote this after he had seen swedish soprano Jenny Lindh perform. And the text is a passionate love song to her.

[Gale478]

[pianomags]

@Gale478 Eb is the regukar key for sops to sing it in, C for mezzos&sop 2s and Bb (original) for bass/baritone/contraltos. Was written for a baritone.

There was an Björling Gala in Stockholm around 1984 ?..And Elisabeth started The Gala and " Jeg elsker dig"..wonderfull.

But we all hane our taste and I do respect you taste.. N.Gedds was there and he was singing:

)

Nicolai Gedda - Kuda, kuda vy udalilis (Eugen Onegin)

Gedda´s masterpiece in this film version... ...

Lissen to that one., my friend. Amazing

[Herur22]

Thank you for translating, Tobobba.

I know the video Kuda, kuda vy udalilis. I agree, amazing.

[tobobba]

njaaaa..jag har hört bättre...Elisabeth Söderström sjunger den mycket bättre...

[Herur22]

I could hardly believe that.

[tobobba]

Jodå..jag har den på en video..det var från en Björlingsminneskonsert på Konserthuset i Stockholm..1984? En dag skall lag lära mig att skicka in en video här..nu är allt nedpackat pga av flytt till Norge..Jag menar inte att N.Gedda är dålig. Inte alls. Han är en av mina favoriter, men just denna sång sjunger en del bättre...så det så..:-)
