Gedda's emission of tone was incredibly beautiful. I will always remember the high B he sang in the tenor's last act scene in Lucia at the Met, with Sills. I t was the most lovely sound imaginable, utterly free, not hard, but large and with a remarkable sort of thrust...a truly great singer who clearly knew exactly what he was doing...

There‘s so much warmth radiating from the song and the performance… 🌞🌞🌞 Thanks for sharing! 🙏🍀

Truth be told, I love Tosti‘s songs… and this is a very remarkable and rewarding performance of one of his gems… 💎🌹💎 Thanks for sharing! 🙏🍀 Thank you also for always adding the lyrics in the info box! I speak some Italian, but usually don‘t understand everything; reading the words makes understanding so much easier!

Bravo!!

Can you please let me know, who is speaking here. He sounds like gedda. Please don't forget. Thank you.

I love Tosti‘s canzoni! And this voice is of such a wonderful timbre and quality… 🌹🌹🌹 Thanks for sharing! 🙏🍀

Incredible!!!

Bravissimo

Peerless

Talked to an old man who say Schipa at the Arena Di Verona in Mefistofele. ' you could hear that little guy for miles! He dominated every ensemble. I was amazed at how it carried. Like he was singing in my ear". Lightness can also carry. Like Alfredo Kraus more.recently.

Thanks alot all of you old school singers for passing on virtually no information about technique, REAL help for us today.

Tito...The one, and only...

Genius his intellect is over 150 for sure I work with genius intellects Language for him is amazing such brain connections are only in the highest individual few

It is said that he had a talent in language. His English proved that. And he had interest in many things. He even read literature in original language. And he was from a poor family. What a self-made man!

I would like to hear why Gedda made extreme facial postures when he sang. It was distracting in live performance but must have been part of a technique that allowed him to sing everything, in every language, over many years.

Nicolai Gedda, George London, Helen donath, Irmgard Seefried, & Hilde Gueden were Novikova’s pupils. My teacher studied with her for 5 years in NY and hung around her studio and had great stories.

Grande Schipa.

Wonderful. Thank You!!!!!

A Gem-Thank you!!!!

EXCELENTE..

🌹🙏🌹

Hermosisima interpretación!!!!

Grazie,Tiago!

Che meraviglia quella Lucia di Lammermore . Poesia purissima.

Mi madre con 93 es el favorito el padre del tenor de las Américas el himno colombiano es perfecto eschulo

Gedda was a great artist. Beautiful voice, wide-ranging in compass and overall technique. And so superb with languages. I recall that Gedda was the only non-native English speaker in the debut cast of Barber's "Vanessa," yet some critics said his English diction was the best. Hear Gedda's "Messiah" recording from the mid-1960s. Beautiful English, no accent.

A genius

A genius

in this time the conductor follwed the the breath of the singer and the gave the words and the context of the words the time they need. Today we have to train to sing with metronome, because the conductor has "the sacred duty" to follow the tempo like a robot 🤖. Schipa would have no chance to develop his heavenly tones. Instead of Schipa we shall cheer tenors like tin trumpets or nasal mud puddles are sold to us as mezza voce..🤧

He was a singer with a great technique.And very important: taste to sing.

Old Italian School !!!

Passei a conhecer a obra desse grande artista.

Safic aisha admiration by this tenor

Gedda knew his own limitations, he was always a smart, educated (became) and serious person. If not for Björling, he would be the number one Swedish tenor, by miles.

0:20, Paola Novikova

Så jävla mycket snack om teknik men vad hjälper det med "teknik" när de flesta sångarna med en åsnas envishet vägrar att lära sig läsa noter... Noter som nyckeln till förståelse av innehållet i musiken... Vad som ä BEDRÖVLIGAST dock tycker jag att de flesta sjungande är hur angelägna som helst om detta tecken, men skiljer inte på en åtton/sextondel... Det råder fullkomligt brist på professionalism i den svenska sångundervisningen som ä nästan värre än i pianodito..det kunde man inte tro var möjligt... 🙀😉

7 minutes to learn that the voice must be produced with air 😂😂😂

Thank you 🤗

大哥作为一个意大利人，意大利话太牛屄啦

Helen Donath was also a student of Paola Novikova, and sang well into her 70s. Donath's voice remained virtually unchanged throughout her career, due to the technique she learned from Novikova.

Meravigliosa voce e cantante. I suoi pianissimi sono stupendi. Grande cantante.

Hey, sabía de schipa, es más tenía un simple..de schipa, cuatro tangos. Beniamino es el qe más N gusta en música opopular italiana, si vale

Que buena interpretacion .el arte no tiene epocas.es para siempre

El Maestro Gedda habla el inglés mejor que yo, que caray. Yo lo estudio como uno de los grandes!

hay 6 marcianos que no tienen oído

Somewhat interesting but he doesn't really say anything about what the technique consists of.

Emocionante!!!!!

Bravo....Otra Mas...Otra Mas

Martinelli to me seems to have forced his voice terribly
