Göran Forsling: Great Swedish Singers series on (MusicWeg)
The sixth singer here, Gösta Winbergh, belonged to a later generation than the others and tragically died all too early while still at the top of his trade. He started as a quite lyrical singer, much sought after as a Mozart interpreter of exceptional elegance. During the 1990s he moved over to heavier fields, adding Lohengrin, Walther von Stolzing, Parsifal, Tristan and Siegmund, roles that are not represented here. There is however a Sony disc where we get central parts from Lohengrin and Meistersinger. Here we hear him, besides three excerpts from his 1971 debut as Rodolfo in Gothenburg, in Mozart, some French repertoire and a duet from Nielsen’s Maskarade, an opera in which I admired him very much. Also there are two scenes from the aforementioned Meistersinger, where he was a lively and eager David. At the time, Leif Aare wrote prophetically in Dagens Nyheter that in ten years time he will be a great Walther. Considering Winbergh’s very lyrical voice in 1977, I much doubted this prophecy, but Aare was right and few tenors of the day, Heppner and Domingo apart, could challenge him. In due time I hope Bluebell will be able to produce a disc with the "mature" Winbergh. As it is we have him here as the very fine lyrical tenor from which he started.
