Les performances de N.Gedda en français ... j'ai cru longtemps qu'il était né en France ! pas d''accent !!!! Impeccable

Merci Janja pour cette transmission : c'est beau

I once read a review of some performance in English at Covent Garden. Gedda was the only person on stage who was not English. His was the only diction where you could understand every word.
