Thanks for posting

[Prohojy]

It is delightful! The deserved 5 stars!

[muschnik1961]

This is in 1979 from the TV-Show "Musik ist Trumpf". It´s a piece from a little Medley Gedda sung with Anneliese Rothenberger. The performance is a playback of course. The first sight was Gedda in TV-Interview with August Everding in his show "Dacapo" in 1989.

Dear Muschnik, you are really a encyclopedia of knowledge! How can you know all these thinjs I can't imagine.

[Klassizismus]

Ich wünschte die ganzen Da capo-Folgen würden als DVD-Edition erscheinen...

[Herur22]

I agree. Or at least this one. :-)

[Klassizismus]

I have good news: You can order each transmission of "Da capo" from the ZDF!! If you can receive 3sat, this transmission with Gedda will be broadcasted on 9th june!!

[Herur22]

This is excellent news, Klassizismus. Thank you for telling us.

[Klassizismus]

If you want to order a transmission from ZDF it costs 40€, which is quite expensive in my opinion for a film of 45-50 minutes length!! :(

[Herur22]

True, quite exagerate price. Luckily this one we can record.

[Herur22]

Are you certain that is a playback? It seems very realistic?

[muschnik1961]

Yes, it´s a playback. The 1965 studio recording was used. By the way: Gedda and Rothenberger were seen several times together on german TV with Operetta-Medleys: 1979 this one, 1983 Gräfin Mariza and 1989 Die lustige Witwe. All playbacks!

[Hjadlowker]

Wonderful! And the stage design from the 60s deliciously kitschy... too bad the clip's not complete! Onegin, as always your postings are real treats! Thank you!

[Herur22]

What a treat, Onegin65! Thank you very much. Is there anything else from that occasion? Please, post it. Thank you again.

[mjmacmtenor]

Thank you for this.  Gedda is my favorite tenor of all times. I particularly admire him for his skill with languages and stylistic versatility. He was absolutely incomparable in two styles - French opera (anything French) and German operetta. Although Swedish, he set a standard for capturing those two styles that no one else could top (or has since).

I like it if old times revive.
