Bjorling only needs to compete with himself. Among his existing recorded renditions (including a 1943 gala performance at The Royal Opera Stockholm and the famous 1947 NY Metropolitan Opera performance), this 1940 Stockholm one is unquestionably the most poetic and ardent of all.
@schlusnus Sweden stayed neutral during the nazi war, although I'm sure they engaged in some sneaky stuff to aid their Scandanavian comrades. That the era was awful is undeniable.
