Bjorling of the magnificent voice, which I've loved since a child. YOur interviews in English reveal you as a great modest exceptional person too. Thank you UA-cam
Jussi Bjorling sets a standard for all others and the bar is high! I joined the Jussi Bjorling Society USA so I could share my love of this marvelous man with others!
There have been many many great tenors in the world of opera but Jussi Bjorling had a dimension all his own. I have heard an Italian film director criticize him for lack of passion but I put it down to a national kind of pride as few could match him. The emotion he could convey is remarkable.
Yes, Italians often think unless you’re jumping around hysterically, gesticulating and sobbing, then you’re not being passionate! Jussi’s Bjorlings voice was one of unshed tears.
Great......never seen him in colour before......heard him a thousand times but never sounding better.Superb job with all the restorations....really brings the past back to life. Jussi certainly makes it all look and sound so darn easy here.......that's a gift but few have!
So effortless, so flawless, so simply devine. It will take ages to get the chance to listen to a comparible god-like voice again. Many thanks for posting this precious jewel-gem of true belcanto.
So fortunate are we to have the technology to capture his voice and essence. I thought Domingo was the last word on vocal perfection, but Jussi is extraordinary.
Such a tremendous voice! He makes it sound so effortless. I know it can't possibly be as easy as he makes it sound. The sign of a master. What a shame the audio of the day couldn't capture the full majesty of his voice. It is already so divine even with the limitations of the technology of the day. I can only imagine what it would be like to actually be present when he, or any of the other operatic masters of the past, sung live. How much more incredible would they sound? Oh, well. Maybe in heaven, may we all be so fortunate.
Great singing is natural singing. The perfect technique does not show itself. Purity and simplicity of tonal emission. Today there is such forced, contorted singing, wayward vibrato and wobbling. Bjoerling has more in common with Nat King Cole than the ugly-voiced opera singers we endure today.
@@petercollins7848 Teachers are part of the problem, but I think the biggest one is cultural and aesthetic decadence. The great singers of the past grew out of a church/synagogue childhood where their first continuous exposure to music was Gregorian chant and polyphony, Lutheran chorales, or cantorial virtuosity. Today young people have no other touchstone but the aggressive nihilistic ugliness of contemporary pop music. They in a sense have been ruined before they ever start studying.
Even more superb is Björling‘s FLOWER SONG from around 1938 where he does sing the written soft high B flat at the end of the aria which I never heard him do later. Björling could also have sung CELESTE AIDA’s final B flat in this manner on the studio AIDA recording with Milanov but was, apparently, discouraged from doing so which he later regretted so I heard.
Jussy Bjoerling was an extraordinary tenor !!!
Get his name right.

Quite simply, the greatest singer who ever lived!
THE tenor! The template against which to measure all other tenors.
He opens up my heart and shows me a glimpse of the sublime.
The best tenor of all times!
Best tenor the wold Caruso
Not saying that he wasnt, but Caruso, Di Stefano, Corelli, Del Monaco, Lanza, Domingo, Pavarotti are on the same level !
Bjoerling's voice was unique as was his art.
His voice reaches my soul
THE GREATEST
Maestro Bjorling is out of this world. Thanks for sharing this jewel.

Absolute perfection ! I've never seen this video before. Thank you.
What a voice that man had! Such a pleasure to hear this. Thank you
SIMPLY, THE BEST!!!

No lack of passion if you're listening, not just looking.
He was absolutely adorable 🎉here! ❤ That beautiful voice always more than expressive enough!

Jussi certainly makes it all look and sound so darn easy here.......that's a gift but few have!
Thank You!
¡¡Gran tenor de todos los tiempos!!
Voice like liquid gold. Jussi and Nelson Eddy are my two favourite singers of all time. I would love to have heard them do the Pearl Fishers together.
Now that would have been great to hear.
Jussi and Robert Merrill did a splendid version of the duet from Pearlfishers.
So effortless, so flawless, so simply devine. It will take ages to get the chance to listen to a comparible god-like voice again. Many thanks for posting this precious jewel-gem of true belcanto.

He just seems to open his mouth and it seems to come out very easily
This was from the Nov. 1950 Firestone TV show of course originally in B&W
meraviglioso!!!!!
What a thrill to see and listen to this! Thank you so much!
I have heard great tenors but this gift form God jussi is the greatest ❤
아름다운 테너 감사합니다
Beautiful❤️❤️❤️
MAGNIFICO
Pavarotti once said don't compare me with Jussi I'm only human.
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for posting this recording.
Bravo!
Bizet is wonderful to listen to.and.Jussi.is outstanding.❤
The musical architecture! Thank you for bringing Bizet to life!
Questa voce, questa voce....SEMPRE mi riconcilia con la vita e con la bellezza degli uomini che, talvolta, discende direttamente dal Cielo...
Jussi no one like him! Thank you for sharing

Bellissimo!!!!!
Bjorling and Melchior - two unsurpassable tenors.
My goodness!! Bravo!!
Seamless velvet flow to the ears!
Thank you for this!
Meu preferido❤

I agree, so much of modern singing does seem ‘forced’. Is it the lack of singing teachers who know what they are doing?

@@ransomcoates546Agree 💯 % The crisis is an interwoven cultural and spiritual breakdown !
A milagre!
Magical !❤️

BRAVO!!!
Alla faccia di chi dice di non alzare le spalle quando si respira!!!!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
That's how it should sound!
No question or "probably" about it. This IS from VoF.
Thank you!
Compared to Bjoerling, I’m just a lowly church tenor…
Well if there is a tenor anywhere who has ever sung that better, do tell me who they are!
JUSSI for ever
What a tragedy. All that magnificent talent and dead at only 49, of heart disease exacerbated by severe alcoholism.
questo è un vero tenore.
awesome thank you
