Perchè dire simili bestialità? La voce al metropolitan era bella e diventava brutta alla scala!!! George Thill pur essendo un bravo cantante non è assolutamente all'altezza di Bjorling in nessun ruolo.
One of the most remarkable and astounding voices of last century; and for all time. Bjorling had a Stradivarius in his throat. His biography, by his wife Anna, is a great read.
I think that the expression "Bjorling had a Stradivarius in his throat."has to be the most beautiful way I have ever heard of describing his voice.Thank You.
Probably the greatest most thrilling voice of modern times..... Jussi's entire performance here is one of the few shining emeralds of the 20th century.
Love that recording....have it, listen to it often, and like that opera more than any other of Gounod's. Sayou and Bjorling ARE them...o so sad... at least they get each other forever......but much later... and forever. And for everything he sang he was the best. Ever. Period. (and I'm not the biggest fan of his repetoire)
funny, yesterday I was talking to myself (very usual in me) and decided that Romeo IS Björling, so I agree with you, in his biography is mentioned that a recording of the opera was scheduled for the end of the 40's beginning of the 50's but was postponed, the same goes for Faust. Later his voice became bigger and darker, so he decided to record Aida, Rigoletto, Trovatore and Turandot, instead of more lyric tenor roles.
L'amour! Oui, son ardeur a troublé tout mon être! Mais quelle soudaine clarté Resplendit à cette fenêtre! C'est là que dans la nuit rayonne sa beauté! Ah! lève-toi, soleil! Fais pâlir les étoiles, Qui, dans l'azur sans voiles, Brillent aux firmament. Ah! lève-toi! parais! parais! Astre pur et charmant! Elle rêve! elle dénoue Une boucle de cheveux Qui vient caresse sa joue! Amour! Amour! Porte-lui mes vues! Elle parle! Qu'elle est belle! Ah! je n'ai rien entendu! Mais ses yeux parlent pour elle, Et mon coeur a répondu!
there is a certain place you can put those Parais Bflats. To much toward ah and it sounds contrived to far toward 'ee' and it can split on you. he centers them every time, even plays around with them. No one can sing them like this anymore...they jump right out and give a dramatic effect with a beautiful lyrical sound. Nobody taught him this. God gave it to him
What??? He has the finest even vibrato of any recorded tenor. Stunning technique, the most wondrous tone and phrasing. A voice from heaven. If you do not yet understand his mastery, listen to his Nessun Dorma, E Lucevan de Stelle, Ingemisco, Adelaide. His Romeo is excellent but these other songs listed suit the beauty of his voice much better.
So, answering all my critics above: And I still don't like it. To me it's excessive, though when I'm listening to it once again it's offending me less... Well, one can grow accustomed to everything... Rather sad conclusion, I'm afraid...
La voce più bella di tenore mai sentita...
This evening Jussi was in a true state of grace. His singing was miracolous! The best Romeo ever!
La voix est belle au MET mais en EUROPE au retour il n'y a pas eu le succès du MET à la scala etc. ..

@@gianfrancocastelli2324 sono d'accordo con lei...Thill era un bravissimo tenore, ma Bjorling aveva una qualità che era veramente speciale.
One of the most remarkable and astounding voices of last century; and for all time. Bjorling had a Stradivarius in his throat. His biography, by his wife Anna, is a great read.
I think that the expression "Bjorling had a Stradivarius in his throat."has to be the most beautiful way I have ever heard of describing his voice.Thank You.
Una lección de canto
Probably the greatest most thrilling voice of modern times..... Jussi's entire performance here is one of the few shining emeralds of the 20th century.
A stunning performance of this beautiful aria
The recording of BJORLING and SAYAO of Romeo & Juliet is STUNNING. Bjorling was superior to all tenors today
Love that recording....have it, listen to it often, and like that opera more than any other of Gounod's. Sayou and Bjorling ARE them...o so sad... at least they get each other forever......but much later... and forever. And for everything he sang he was the best. Ever. Period. (and I'm not the biggest fan of his repetoire)
Very well Done !!!!
Bjorling & Corelli best romeo's
Para mí el Romeo más perfecto es el de Alfredo Kraus

Avec une voix qui n'était pas une voix puissante et spinto/dramatique ...
Il y aurait laissé sa voix ..mais hélas ...

A live performance. Sick.
Superb! Thank you so much.
L'amour! Oui,
son ardeur a troublé tout mon être!
Mais quelle soudaine clarté
Resplendit à cette fenêtre!
C'est là que dans la nuit rayonne sa beauté!
Ah! lève-toi, soleil!
Fais pâlir les étoiles,
Qui, dans l'azur sans voiles,
Brillent aux firmament.
Ah! lève-toi! parais! parais!
Astre pur et charmant!
Elle rêve! elle dénoue
Une boucle de cheveux
Qui vient caresse sa joue!
Amour! Amour! Porte-lui mes vues!
Elle parle! Qu'elle est belle!
Ah! je n'ai rien entendu!
Mais ses yeux parlent pour elle,
Et mon coeur a répondu!
Spectacular.

I'm sure his father, his only teacher, was, at least in part, responsible for this.
It does...
Que du bon;très fin et énergique à la fois.Et quelle diction!Les applaudissements ne me semblent pas assez véhéments!!!..
Listening to this would make any ordinary tenor suicidal.
Invece a me mi ispira☺️
Does really everybody like his very strong tremolo in this aria or is it only a kind of "political correctness"...?
Yes, really, everybody likes this very strong tremolo in this aria. Everyone except you, apparently.
vibrato is absolutely even and wonderful.
Everybody love it! He s an angel
