Jussi Björling sings Nessun Dorma (Digitally Remastered)

Pavarotti? Potts you say? NO! THIS is the definitive Nessun Dorma (IMO of course). Not being satisfied with any of the versions on YouTube I decided to add this one. It will be a long time before anyone can match this tenor. Enjoy.

Well, Luciano Pavarotti himself said this: "Please do not compare me with Jussi Björling! - I am only human!

Now that should put an end to the discussion about who is better then who, regarding these two magnificent artists!

Who cares about a bunch of Italian singers patting each other's backs? Italians generally value loyalty more than honesty, esp when there is an outside threat to their domination.

Bjorling hardly needs any stamp of approval from someone who is by many considered an inferior singer (Pavarotti). Insisting Pavarotti thought this or that about Bjorling is as interesting as a wannabe football champ judging Messi.

Si tan solo Bjorling hubiese poseído la voz del gran Lanza.

[TheMaisie80]

This is the voice to end all voices(in my humble opinion) I grew up listening to Bjorling so I am biased.

The opera artist before 50s was the best. Just think about this, they had no microphone. Most artist today rely in microphone. Its not possible to compare artist today who use microphone with those who sang opera. Even today opera sings whitout microphone.

Pavarotti has another a softer voice but in Nessun Dorma Jussi is the king. No one has or will, i think so, surpass him.

[SymphonyBrahms]

Wonderful.

They should disable the comments on opera videos, cause peoples comments are so stupid. Nobody cares about how you rank tenors, just stop.
