Jussi Björling & Hilde Güden sing "È il sol dell'anima"

As in the "La donna e mobile" video the pitch was a half tone sharp and the singer's timbres sounded lighter than they actually were. I tried to fix this. I hope you enjoy this phenomenal performance!

Jussi Bjoerling - Duca
Hilde Güden - Gilda
Thelma Votipka - Giovanna

Jussi is king!Hail Jussi!

According to Pearlmoth (elsewhere) Jussi had bleeding ulcers, a bad heart , chest pains and spat blood, but was true to his art, even in the 90 degree Italian climate... It's not rocket science how he came by these afflictions; but is it not better to sing of a glass half full, than lament it half empty...???

Looks ridiculous? Who says? Someone without a mirror in the house maybee? Who like to throw stones in a house full of windows? Ugly is about taste but i m sure u are ugly inside u fucking zgoify.

I'm just curious why someone would say "he looks ridiculous". Jussi looks pretty darn good in this. He's probably the thinnest at this point in his life. The soprano is a bit long in the tooth to be playing Gilda, but she sings well.

People should read the biography of Jussi Bjorling before casting aspersions on the man and his family.

She overacts, he looks ridiculous, but the VOICES! Angels couldn't do it better.

Guden makes some weird faces but was a nice looking woman :P good singing

ussi sang, but was short, overweight, poor, not educated or intelligent, with alcoholic tendencies and one illegit child (Rolf) to pay for. AnnaLisa was pretty (Stockholms beauty queen), wellborn, intelligent, talented (one of the lucky few to enter the musical academy, yes she sang very well), she was, considered a prize.

Her violent reaction when told that Jussi had produced kid no2 with an old woman, ONE MONTH after the wedding, isn't that hard to see, even for an atheist.

Interesting: I never mentioned 'Catholic'; but it's true: I have been listening to haters like you since I was born... You see everybody's faults but your own... And if you come out from behind your presumptious mask, maybe we can see how much of prating Christian you really are!!!

[mozzrt]

The child wasn't now, stupid. Nor was his drinking, that tormented his kids although they loved him dearly, as he did them. I am not his wife but these are things that the family have told in books, so what?

That you are a cathholic-hater - and suffers greatly because of this (you will probably end up kissing the popes hand), gets you to attack others, believing them to be christians. As for Mozart, no you don't understand him or his music.

[sebreathnach]

Prewar was prewar.. This is now.. and speak for yourself; you are not his wife... And stop degrading the name of Mozart with your Christian and judgemental prejudice... Mozart also ran from a judgemental Bishop of a similar turn of mind as yourself...
