Gösta Winbergh (December 30, 1943 – March 18, 2002) was a Swedish tenor and Mozart admirer. Winbergh was born in Stockholm. He is often mentioned as among Sweden's and, indeed, the world's finest tenors, included with Jussi Björling and Nicolai Gedda. There was no musical tradition in Winbergh's family. He himself was a building engineer when he watched his first opera performance in 1967; the experience so moved him that he decided on an operatic career. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/G%C
