  • Two masters! Gedda's clear enunciation in the English language is most remarkable for an artist fluent in Russian, German, French etc,,,and a native of Sweden. A great performer,,,here with a most accomplished accompanist. Very many thanks for posting, you serve us well !

  • Gedda is kind of an "overlooked"tenor, in the shadow of Björling, and perhaps didn't get the whole recognition he so fully deserved.

  • Ay! Que bello!

  • Nicolai Gedda certainly shows here that one doesn't have to be a native English speaker to sing well in English. Very clear diction and good enunciation. A great singer.

  • Gedda's enunciation is something remarkable ... I just performed this in a concert (accompanying myself on harp) and I am now feeling ashamed that I even posted it on youtube especially since, unlike Gadda, I'm mothertongue ENGLISH!!!! ohh the shame of it ..... will sing better next time :-)

  • He rules.... Love love love Gedda... Makes my world better

  • @MBW4449 theyre young and foolish lol

  • i love this ...so beautiful and great to learn from this wonderful interpretation!

  • Quite a few glottal onsets and odd places for breaths, but beautiful singing from M. Gedda nonetheless. Gerald Moore had the most wonderful tonal control imaginable and very close to Emil Gilels- he can make a tone sing and spin after striking in the way that singers can. Morgen (Strauss) with Janet Baker is the finest example. There are very few pianists who can create this and two (with Gilels) are Richter and Britten himself.

  • God bless you

  • Who were the two fools who voted against this? They were jealous tenors.
