If Only I Could Sing Like Nicolai Gedda

He may not be as masculine as Susan Boyle, or as podgy as Paul Potts, but Nicolai Gedda possesses for me the best tenor voice in the business. Here's the Swede singing the magnificently lyrical "Au fond du temple saint" from Bizet's opera Les pêcheurs de perles with baritone Ernest Blanc.

Must agree. Think I have him singing some other stuff, his voice is very familiar.

Bizet was just 36 when he died - same age as Mozart. These talented folk (Gedda is fluent in umpteen languages) keep one grounded!
