I am a fan of Nicolai Gedda. The legend about his high D at his debut as Chapelou left me with one question. EMI released the live recording of his debut as Chapelou singing the aria from Le Postillion de Longjumeau without the high D. So perhaps it wasn't "that note" that made a him a star. The high D in his 1961 recording, though, was just awesome.

His teacher (Kurt Bendiks)(sp?) wanted to know if young Gedda hat the tone in the "Kehle"(throat)(a jokey idiom in German and not meant literally). At first Bendiks said nothing, but later came back with the surprise "Mr. Gedda, we want to give you the chance to give you début with this opera"(Postillon). Gedda reminisces that he thought at the time a "Wunder"(miracle) had happened.
Thereafter, the commentator asks him to sing R. Strauß's "Zueignung".

The commentator is going through his early bio: son of a Kantor in a Russian Church in Leipzig, moved to sweden in 1934, was a bank-teller during his studies with the famous teacher (also taught Björling) Carl-Martin Öjman(sp?). On 8.4.1951 came Chapiloux and engaged him for the L'Opera Comique: Adolf Adam "le Postillon". From that evening on he was world famous. Gedda goes on to explain: in the conservatory one teacher came along and asked him to sing one tone "DAA, DAA" it was a high-D!
