  • I saw Gedda in this same production with Mirella Freni when the Paris Opera came to the Kennedy Center in the 1970s. Gedda is unsurpassed as Faust and he is the true King of the High Cs!

  • Parfait, ce genre de ténor manque cruellement sur la scène actuelle... Mais bon reste les enregistrements.

  • @CumpariSparacino C's D's and and if that wasnt enough F'S!!! and a huge heroic voice like lauri volpi but more scandinavian. Pitty he wanst a stable man and was bipolar, he was a genious.

  • To say Kaufmann is terrible you will have to suffer the review of tonights premiere at the Met. Sorry, fellow!

  • @saagua1953

    Why? I think Kaufmann is terrible, so if someone thinks he can do anything better than Gedda, I am very curious and open to understanding why.

  • I prefer Jonas Kaufman singing this aria.

  • Amazing!!! One of the greatest high C's I've ever heard!!!

  • I have heard him better. The voice sounds tired here.

  • He was so intense, marvellous!!!!

  • @nichtsleezy Not smaller,different in color.Björling had real metal in his voice,and it came through the orch. even in the heaftiest moments of Manon Lescaut or Tosca.Gedda had a "softer" quality, yet it always filled the house in the lyric repertory.In the more densely orchestrated works of Puccini (I heard his Cavaradossi) or Verdi (Arrigo in Vespri Siciliani) he didn't quite come through.Fortunately, he knew that himself, and left these roles after a very short time.A very intelligent singer.
