Jussi Björling (Grandi Tenori.com)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Johann Jonatan - Jussi - Björling was born on February 5th 1911 in Stora Tuna, Sweden, son of a tenor (who had made an appearance at the MET) and one among many talented brothers, toghether with whom he formed the Bjoerling Male Quartet, led by his father. Jussi Björling came to be the only and unique non-Latin tenor that could rival the Italian dominance in the tenor heritage and he appeared while such grand and famed tenors as Martinelli, Schipa, Gigli and Lauri-Volpi were still present and active. Jussi Björling received immense popularity during the course of his career, residing as one of the most important tenors at the Met during the 40's and the 50's. www.grandi-tenori.com /tenors/bjorling.php   (352 words)

UFO Breakfast Recipients   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Jussi Bjorling (5 February 1911 — 9 September 1960) was a Swedish tenor and one of the most highly regarded opera singers of the 20th century. Bjorling was one of the few non-Latin tenors to rival the Italian dominance of the opera world at that time. Bjorling made his professional operatic debut as the Lamplighter in Manon Lescaut at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm in 1930. www.ufobreakfast.com /archive/00000937.htm   (239 words)

Grandi Tenori.com :: View topic - The Great Jussi Bjorling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Bjorling not only sings beautifully but adheres to Verdi's markings (unlike many other noted tenors who are classed as great Verdians) including some fine trills, messa di voces and has enough fire in his voice to do justice to the dramatic moments. Jussi's was probably more powerful on the high notes and Gigli's probably stronger in the middle register, but it was close. Bjorling for me sounds much harsher in his studio recordings, almost as if the resonance is just too much, though in a larger environment of a live recording, the sound fills the hall with clarity and ease. www.grandi-tenori.com /bbs/viewtopic.php?t=43   (4382 words)

Classical 89 KBYU-FM | Jussi Björling A full-length recital given by the Swedish tenor, Jussi Björling, recorded at Carnegie Hall, March 2, 1958, with pianist Frederick Schauwecker. The recital inspired the press to ecstatic heights: “one wonders if we will not be telling our grandchildren one day that we heard Jussi Björling when he stood at the height of his career,” said the New York Times.

[No title] Jussi traces the path that took him to this height and the achievements that kept him there until his untimely death. Yet, unhappily, the whole course of Bjorling’s life was fraught with severe hardships, not least among them the chronic alcoholism that from time to time brought misery to himself, his loved ones, his impresarios, and an adoring public. As a true Swede, Bjorling was not temperamental in the usual operatic sense, although he could be extremely stubborn in holding fast to what he believed to be right. www.republikjamtland.org /P-B/newsletters/PB-18.doc   (2668 words)

Jussi Bjorling: Opera Arias   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) This CD contains among other highlights the wonderful Christmas song "O Helga Natt", in which the final high note is sung with such force that it threatens to blow your speakers to oblivion, never mind your ears...(if it is the last sound I will ever hear, it is OK by me...). Although I have loved classical music since I was a kid, until Jussi every tenor I ever heard sounded like an opera parody. Jussi is different; he doesn't make you think "Now there's a guy taking a deep breath and singing loud." To steal a line from Amadeus, when he opens his mouth you "hear the voice of God"; absolute, divine beauty, untainted by ego or eccentricity. music.wenchoice.com /info/B000002S05/Jussi_Bjorling_Opera_Arias.html   (761 words)

The Session: Shop - Product info The critics of Jussi Bjýrling had a way of making everyone believe that the Swedish tenor's temper resembled the cool nature of his homeland's climate. These songs have a great deal of dreamy beauty in them, and no one could do them a better justice than Jussi Bjýrling. Sjýberg's "Tonerna" is a very interesting modern/romantic (for the lack of better term) art song, it's a great loss that we don't have complete recitals dedicated to this composer. www.thesession.org /shop/display.php/B000001MIN   (410 words)

Jussi These great gifts were combined with genuine humility and simplicity; he remained unspoiled and deeply devoted to his family. His tragically early death at the age of forty-nine ended a professional singing career that had started when he was only five, and he is perhaps unique among singers in having made recordings from the acoustic era through the advent of stereophonic sound. In addition to the recollections of his widow and stage companion Anna-Lisa Bjorling, it incorporates information from the family archives, documentation held by the Jussi Bjorling Museum in Borlange, Sweden, and material from various operatic archives in Stockholm, New York, London, and San Francisco. www.zooscape.com /cgi-bin/maitred/WhitePulp/isbn1574670107   (214 words)
