There is something amazin about "singers of the past" about their technique, tehir breath control. Here I can see Bjorlng taking the air (breathing) up in the chest, openning the chest instead down in the low abdomen.

@opera888able I don't ! But honestly, I'm a francophone and his French is pretty damn good for a non-francophone, especially for the time, when nobody really cared about diction. He makes a few mistakes here and there, but the text is very clear and comprehensible, and he delivers the musicality of the French language incredibly well.

you should here the live recording of this aria in swedish were he takes the high C in pianisimo, that is truly a "divine high C"!

Yes I agree - thanks for the high C indicator! I've never heard a better performance of this aria - ever!

My father always said it was "the voice of God".

This is perhaps my least favourite of all Jussi's arias and still the shear beauty of his timbre brings tears to my eyes.
-
@1055otto Yeah, dying at 49, such a shame.
-
No Jussi was not in his youth, he was dying at that time. This is his last role

When I was little I asked my aunt how you can tell when a tenor hits high C. She said "A little sign comes up behind their head and flashes for you." All my life I have been waiting for it until this video. I nearly fell off my chair laughing when the little text box popped up saying "divine high C"! LOL @ 4:01

Jussi at his youthful best. The aria might have been written for him. Apparently he wasn't a student of languages and didn't particularly care if he didn't always get it right. Quite frankly listening to his beautiful sound I don't care either. They say his acting was somewhat naiive. Again who cares?

@opera888able He did have a boyish naivete in hi acting...
