  • In Victoria de los Angeles' s biography by Peter Roberts (Weidenfield and Nicolson, 1982), de los Angeles noted that "In despite of technical developments, none of the Jussi Björling recordings give you the true sound of his voice. It was a far, far more beautiful voice than you can hear on the recordings he left".

  • I knew his daughter is the middle sixties. God, she was hot.

  • Jag brukar inte ha lätt till tårar, men när jag hör Jussi sjunga får jag rysningar i kroppen. Känslovågen sprider sig sedan till mina ögon och det finns inga möjligheter att hålla tillbaka tårarna. Det finns en överjordisk skönhet i hans röst, en röst som var så unik att något liknande förmodligen aldrig mer kommer att existera. Tack Ann-Charlotte för dina gripande och äkta kommentarer!

  • The connection and love between his daughter is still so strong. Thanks for posting this.

  • PEACE & LOVE

  • thanks for posting this...

  • Interesting story.

  • of course today they would have been able to control the attacks and give him a healthy life.

  • His voice gives me goose bumps and chills ... in a joyous way!

  • The interview with his daughter is soo touching! Thanks for sharing this.
