| |  | Nicolai GeddaRecordings From 1952-1957
The recordings for this 2 CD set have been carefully selected to show to advantage the extraordinary control
Gedda has over his vocal resources and also to demonstrate his remarkable gift for language. The French opera
excerpts all display an appealing sense of style together with excellent musicianship, both traits so much admired
in the 19th and early 20th centuries. His Russian scenes and arias have an authentic ring, his German highly
romantic and his Italian arias although his voice does not possess that particular Mediterranean warmth, do
nevertheless have a sense of morbidezza (tenderness) usually more associated with the Latin tenor. |

| |  | Piotr Beczala - Salut!
Piotr Beczala (tenor) Münchner Rundfunkorchester, Ion Marin Piotr Beczala has established himself as one of the most outstanding young lyric tenors. Born in Southern
Poland, he studied with Pavel Lisitsian and Sena Jurinac. After his first engagement at the Landestheater in
Linz (Austria) he became a permanent member of the Zurich Opera and remains closely associated with
this company.
He made his Covent Garden debut as the Italian tenor in Rosenkavalier and followed with an acclaimed Faust
in 2004 and 2006. He returned as Lensky in Eugene Onegin this April with another Rosenkavalier at the
Festival Hall, again with Zurich Opera.
He made a sensational role debut, in January of this year, as Riccardo in Verdi's Un ballo in maschera with the
Berlin State Opera, where he was enthusiastically celebrated by both audience and press.The last two years
has seen a series of successful firsts including Alfredo, in La Traviata, with the Bavarian State Opera, Berlin's
Deutsche Oper and also in Tokyo; the Duke in Rigoletto at La Scala and as his debut with the Metropolitan
Opera; and Lensky in Eugene Onegin with the San Francisco Opera, where he returned as Tamino last year. In
Frankfurt and in Munich he has been acclaimed for his portrayal of Werther, as was his Don Ottavio at
Zurich Opera and the Salzburg Festival. In 2007 he added Edgardo in Donizetti's Lucia to his repertoire:
singing this role he will return to the New York Met in autumn 2008.
His wide concert repertoire ranges from Mozart, Cherubini and Haydn's sacred music, via Rossini's Stabat
Mater and Petite Messe Solennelle to Mahler's Das Lied. He has appeared on many recordings and DVDs but
this is his first recital disc with excerpts from French and Italian operas, many of which he has already sung
on stage. " … yet its chief glories are musical, not least the sterling performance of the young Polish tenor Piotr Beczala as Riccardo, which has Berliners drawing comparisons to Jussi Björling. He is certainly the best in this challenging role since Pavarotti." International Herald Tribune “The voice has body, especially in the upper middle register, and an exciting ring on top.” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
