Glänzend aber in der Oper Faust wohl der beste Sänger aller Zeiten

[@claudinevoirain5945]

superbe

[@suffes1]

One thing is clear, I have never heard a voice fit so fantastically well for a "dramatic" piece like this.

[@HerbertAssigal]

Typically JB! Best tenor ever!!!

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

Great cast! Jussi sings gloriously all three big arias... Love the whole opera recording. Appreciated,

[@omaramerio454]

Que lujo por Dios, Jussi y Renata . Gracias

[@jefolson6989]

Ive never heard Jussi have trouble with high notes, or strain or push. He could sing anything.

[@bertagloriabustamante6714]

Voz de Angel.siempre presente😍

[@ianduncan7471]

Never equalled or bettered wonderful

[@TheCTConservative]

What a pairing: Björling and Tebaldi. One of Jussi's most empassioned operatic recordings. No one can touch him.

[@Ever8eliever]

Bravo!

[@mino7520]

Forse il più grande lirico del secolo scorso ! Ma per disgrazia il vino fece opera sulla sua vita .

[@jkch39]

Sencillamente , MAGISTRAL!! La mejor voz masculina de la historia !

[@jameskrator9398]

Totalmente de acuerdo.

[@melparker9337]

Absolutely superb, the feeling in the voice and power make the hair stand on end.

[@hansvogel2558]

en una sola palabra SUBLIME!!!!!!

[@ivanscotton6163]

Possuo os LPS desta maravilhosa gravação. Dentre as ótimas está é a melhor. Conheço diversas.

[@ingriddoppler]

Obrigado pelo seu comentário.

[@abcnowcontrol]

excellent...

[@shirleyrombough8173]

Oh mon dieu, what a voice. I wish I could see him in the entire opera.

[@georgesfern]

you can tell he had fun singing this- it shows and you hear the truthfulness in his voice.

[@EmilioAguirreSaenzdeTejada]

Fantástico, Grande Jussi¡¡¡

[@bealubel1]

hace nueve dije "que voz maravillosa". Vuelvo a escuchar esta versión de Jussi Bjorling y es como quien la escucha por primera vez: profunda, maravillosa, hace llorar.

[@CraigFrancisSoto]

E meraviglioso ! Without doubt,he was one of the finest lyric tenors of ANY era. Bravo Jussi ! Mille grazie cara Ingrid for this absolute gem.

[@gemmadestate3216]

Anche nel repertorio verista la sua voce matura raggiunge gli apici della performance

[@giovanniciafre3139]

Grande...genuino...senza complessi...la sua voce é la propia del vero tenore...la sua cultura lo demostró sulla scena.Purtroppo il vino...

[@germanquintero10121946]

maravillosos

[@ingriddoppler]

Gracias por su comentario, un cordial saludo, Ingrid

[@bealubel1]

qué voz maravillosa! me emociona profundamente.

[@ingriddoppler]

Gracias for your comment

[@omaramerio454]

Una voz q recuerda a los grandes tenores italianos. Cálida y poderosa. Bravo

[@brianocallaghan7172]

there is something especially pure and authentic about this tenors voice.nothing forced even with the highest notes.his singing rings true and is really achingly captivating for opera lovers

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

yes sir, you speak all I wanted to say, no one did anything close to his...

[@ramonavandermerwe1159]

Stunning, pure, clear and so hauntingly beautiful! Pure magic!

[@gemmadestate3216]

Che interprete:già dall'inizio nella sua voce ci sono le note della tragedia,del dolore,dell'ineluttabilità del destino...

[@editvarga6802]

Csodálatos!Ő a kedvenc tenoristám gyerekkorom óta.

[@ingriddoppler]

köszönet a megjegyzésedért, saludos, Ingrid

[@ivanscotton6163]

Esta gravação da Cavalleria Rusticana é insuperável. É bom também não perder o Vídeo de Zefirelli com Plácido Domingo e outros grandes nomes.

[@shamcra]

Thank you so much for this. This is the best quality recording I've ever heard of Jussi. He had, not the strongest, not the most powerful, but the most beautiful voices ever heard.

[@marlenehartley7742]

His voice was powerful and strong enough to fill the old Metropolitan Opera house and I was in standing room at the top. Amazing singer!

[@rogerengblom5061]

In opera It doesent handle only about strong voice its handle about beaty of the voice and sang tecnic and performance also .

[@ingriddoppler]

Totaly agree with you 👍

[@Situnadei]

Firenze in september 1957 was lucky, Jussi Björling and Teresa Tebaldi, at the same time, There are no singers like that today.

[@ingriddoppler]

Totaly agree !! Thank you for your comment~ best greetings to Sweden, Ingrid

[@michalinemanno699]

Renata Tebaldi!

[@BearClawChrisLapp]

"If youre gonna compare a Hanzo sword, you compare it to every other sword ever made... that wasnt made by Hattori Hanzo." (Kill Bill 2) I own the Bjorling,Milanov,Merrill vinyl with Cavalleria and Pagliacci; actually I grew up with it, my father played it regularly. So, I probably have a bias; however, in keeping with the quote (above), I don't think I've ever heard a less than wonderful Bjorling recording. Thanks for posting this one.

[@ramonavandermerwe1159]

I agree with you! Everything he sings is flawlessly beautiful! An amazing voice! RIP Maestro Jussi Bjorling! You deserve to be remembered!

[@thomasrexdale3706]

Splendid! As is virtually everything B ever recorded. This is sonically a terrific recording!! Thanks so much for posting!

[@shirleyrombough8173]

I never before heard Jussi Bjourling sing Cavalleria. He was truly an artist. He brought everything to his performance, including the most effortlessly beautiful tenor voice.

[@shirleyrombough8173]

I misspelled his name. He deserves better than that. My apologies.

[@sgnmath1234]

Say his full name of "Jussi Bjorling" He deserved it

[@ingriddoppler]

@@shirleyrombough8173 😁😊, don´t worry, that can happen.

[@cantorandopera]

Thank you, very belatedly, Ingrid - I am sometimes so busy, I don't get around to my subscriptions - somehow I missed this. I love Bjoerling in this role - I have a recording of him with Milnov. One can never hear enough of his beautiful voice. In this recording, the quality is very superior to mine - I will try to upload mine after my next concert - at the end of April. Fondly, Rowna (aka cantorandopera)

[@andreweinberger1305]

[@ingriddoppler]

@MrLumsdenew Have no idea,dear Eric, also I consider this version as one of the best ever recorded, let´s hope that, maybe one of these day´s, it will appear again on the shelves. All the best to you,Ingrid

[@TELarson58]

Jussi captured me with song in 1958 and he has been my favorite tenor ever since. MY vinal recording of this opera and Pagliacci is very fine but I believe this particular recording actually surpasses the one I have. Wow!!!!! I'd sure like to get the whole opera. Is it available anywhere?

[@johnhoie1]

This is the 1958 recording. Maybe yours is just worn out.

[@angelamaria1944]

Mi stupisci ed emozioni sempre con i video che ci mandi, Grazie Ingrid. A quanto capisco questa registrazione è fuori commercio? spero proprio di no!

[@rickos1915]

An ordinary tenor, listening to this, decides to go to trade school to learn welding, or plumbing.

[@usa4287]

I hear welding can be artistic.

[@guroking]

"è generoso"

[@erikfantome6862]

Very italianish sound. Love it absolutely!

[@ingriddoppler]

@CraigFrancisSoto Sono assolutamente d´accordo con te, caro Craig! ...and my thanks to you for always beeing present with your comments. Have a nice weekend, un caro saluto, Ingrid

[@JorgeGutierrez-vo1rc]

Se dice que el gran Jussi Björling, había perdido cualidades vocales al final de su carrera.

[@davidgould9431]

That was wonderful singing, but... but... but... did he sound like a peasant? No. His tone is definitely patrician: all those Swedish, silvery overtones. He doesn't sound like a villager who's got out of his depth. The singing is tremendous (and I love the full recording, but I have to suspend belief a bit more than usual with Jussi in the role of peasant). Gigli (amongst many others) managed to sound like the village idiot more convincingly (for some reason, see also Nemorino), and there have been many others who didn't have Jussi's stunning voice but who were more plausible in the role. I'm probably talking out of the wrong end of my alimentary tract, but that's how I see it: wonderful, wonderful singing but not really what the opera needs.
