@badpdx No offense but in my day long ago and live many times, the Violin ended it this way on purpose!!! I agree it does sound odd but Bjorling was perfection as usual, he was one of the greatest Lyric Tenors I ever heard and I did hear him live in house, on stage in 1958 in Chicago as the Duke. I always liked him more so even when he sang in his native Swedish, more feeling comes across as it does here.. Beautiful singing!

@SHICOFF1 Yes Jussi and Joseph Schmidt are my favorite Tenors as well. I m studying Lyric Teno Here s a HIGH C 8 seconds.

[badpdx]

Fantastic rendition, but the final note sounds flat, if not flat out wrong. Not by Jussi, mind you, he was perfect. By the violin.

[LYRICTENORHIGHF]

@badpdx Jussi, Joseph Schmidt, Gedda, Lanza are my idol. I sing up to the HIGH F,Fsharp in full voice. I prepare for a career these days.

I've never heard so perfect a rendition as this. When Jussi sings, I can be rest assured however difficult the aria might be. Truly the best tenor in human history !! Thank you for posting this marvellous clip. Thank you !!

[cosmichotspur]

His voice never fails to bring a tear to my eye. He is by far the best tenor ever born.

[45oldbear]

What can we do but to worship and thank God that he gave man the possibility to share his glory with such awesome music.

@deskfruit &@cosmichotspur You are so right. If I'd been the writer, I'd have put everything you say here exactly the same.

[The99Gambo]

Nature may yet produce another Caruso, Gigli or Bjorling but this is mathematically very unlikely!

[The99Gambo]

Yes, he was truly wonderful. And yet the competition was so intense - there was so much talent around - that it shows how great Bjorling, Gigli and Caruso were to stand out so.

@Alisa72 I didn't know Anders Bjorling has a store in MN. When I was in the JBS group I was at Ander's home where he was a wonderful host. He invited the group to his beautiful home and shared much with us including a wonderful dinner. Anders is close to my age of course. I suggest you check out membership in JBS USA they have much available not on any JB list. I did hear JB once in my home town, Chgo. in 1958 as the duke with Moffo. Don't remember much (age 18) but a great La Donna e Mobile!

[Triosfrios]

What musicality! And what beauty of sound! Perfect phrasing too! And his sound is the same beautiful sound from top to bottom!!!!! Interesting to hear this aria sung in Swedish. First time.

@LYRICTENORHIGHF Congrats to sing that high, but save your vocal chords to last long without singing to the max, unless once or twice for show. I am the opposite, I sing very low, almost off the piano on the bass end :-) My idols are the Russian contrabassos. But singing too low is not dangerous as too high. In fact to sing a perfect high C needs a range higher then C. Therefore be glad to your good luck (and diligent practice) to have the skills to do that. Do you have any uploads ?

[Ailsa72]

Perfection and sung with ease - the notes float. His son has a Scandanavian store in MN and the first time I went there I babbled for about an hour (then bought discs otherwise hard to obtain). I still regret that I was never able to hear a live performance.

[KnoedlerNummerEins]

@tenorvoicefan Oh I love this but you might be right that Pippos version is (some of) the best. Greetings!

This is, of course, from the 1939 Hilversum, Holland concert, where he also sang the greatest Che Gelida Manina ever recorded.
