Nicolai Gedda - The Golden Voice

A voice of astonishing agility, an insolent ease in all languages, an unrivalled intelligence of lyrics, an immense discographic legacy... Nicolai Gedda, who would have celebrated his hundredth birthday on 11 July, is unquestionably one of the greatest tenors of the twentieth century, and has left his mark on vocal history, particularly in the field of belcanto and German-language light music. Spotted by Walter Legge in 1951, his engaging personality and extraordinary talent made him a much sought-after performer on disc: he is believed to hold the record for the most recordings by an opera singer! Great operatic repertoire, sacred music, operetta, lieder... The Golden Voice pays tribute to one of the greatest tenors of his time.
