Jussi Björling - I drömmen du är mig nära (Swedish song) 1958 live

From his 2 March 1958 Carnegie Hall concert, with Frederick Schauwecker on piano.

This song was composed by Emil Sjögren.

He seems so much more musical and artistic singing in his native language, it proves he was not really a robotic singer (mostly just a language barrier) as he was fully capable of displaying passion singing in Swedish.

*The computer my audio converting software was installed on was infected by viruses and had to be reformatted. The audio converting software was uninstalled in the process. Now I am at a loss what to post...as I can no longer convert any of my CD's to audio files compatible with youtube...be patient. I'll figure something out.

Windows media player also rips CDs.

I use iTunes so the format isn't supported when I burn CD's onto the computer. I have to use a separate program to convert.

Well said...I would say that "somewhat" is very very minimal in his case, but I know to what you refer.

beautiful. sorry to hear about the computer trouble.

[halavey]

agree -- yes.

[sospello]

I agree that when JB was relaxed in presenting a song, he produced a superb tenor sound. To me he often sounds very measured in Italian and French which somewhat inhibits the free flow of voice.

Beautiful !

I use a freeware pgm called Audiograbber to convert CD's to mp3.
