He was no actor, not handsome, slightly ridicolous and overweight, but boy could he sing...without panting, breathing or sobbing. Has there ever been a purer voice?
OMG, Jussi is singing this song a half step above the standard written key, so he ends on a high C! As a fellow tenor, I can tell you this song is exhausting enough to sing in it's standard key, but to go up a hlaf step - I don't know if anyone else could pull it off as he does. Truly the best voice in history!
penta, - but what is even more spectacular, is Jussi's cadenza, which follows Caruso's exactly! Neither pavarotti, nor even Diego Florez have been able to execute it even in recordings, let alone live! The freedom of tone is exciting in itself. Viva bel canto!
Phenomenal! Indeed, the greatest voice of the century. He sang with such ease and power and artistry. Just listen to the ring in those higher tones. No holding back or messing around. Golden.
Den störste av alla svenskar!!!!!
