  • This is as close to perfection as we are everlikely to hear.

  • Bjoerling's singing was way ahead of his time: clean attacks, perfect intonation, perfect placement, perfect and tasteful use of portamento, etc etc etc. This is, I think, the finest testament we have of his singing.

  • Great singing! Bravo!

  • His best rendition ever and the only time he trilled in the aria.  I wish the recording had less echo but for 1939 the quality is good. This was great singing!

  • One of the top five tenors of all time in my book.

  • Incredible, he was only 28 when this was recorded!!

  • The most fantastic tenor singing ever recorded.

  • Just amazing! I swear no one, absolutely no one, sings this Aria better than Bjorling...it is perfection in every single way

  • It's like having a Veronese character sing.
