Nicolai Gedda "J'ai perdu mon Eurydice"

[hamb4]

The man it truly a Singer's singer. He did not hit the waves like the 3 tenors but His technique was superb and he sang with distinction. A cut above the rest.

Beautiful ... prefer a contralto, the ladies seem to be more expressive/emotional/more pathos perhaps, but he comes a fair close ... for a man! I do admire his voice.

[EmilyGreene1984]

This is so much better than listening to a contralto sing this. :)

Von 1928 bis 1936 lebte Geddas Familie in Leipzig, wo seine musikalische Ausbildung begann. 1936 erfolgte die Rückkehr nach Stockholm, wo Gedda am Konservatorium studierte und 1952 als Chapelou in Adolphe Adams Le Postillon de Longjumeau debütierte. Gedda wurde sehr rasch zu einem der gefragtesten Mozart- und Oratorieninterpreten des 20ten Jahrhunderts und gab zu Beginn des 21. Jh. noch große Recitals unter anderem in der Hamburgischen und in der Wiener Staatsoper. wikipedia

Excellente diction française de Gedda qui rappelle celle de Georges Thill. Une espèce en voie de disparition!!!

[rock0your0life]

J'adore !

Cette chanson est douce et émouvante , le choriste a une voix profonde et agréable à écouter .

[forallyouknow]

A little too harsh for a French aria... It must be sung gently. But then again, it is the Italian style to sing fiery and passionately, rather than with restraint and elegance.

[Nullifidian]

This isn't a French aria. It's a French translation of an Italian libretto by a German composer.

[Abaris42]

An italian libretto heavily influenced by the french tragédie lyrique. The french version isn't a simple translation but a other version in french style : ténor and not castrato and some additions.
