  • @I agree with Bigbadseanydaddy

  • He sing like angel! ...God bless his beautiful soul!

  • an excellent video. Thanks very much

  • Personally I think Corelli did it the best, but Bjorling is a very close second.

  • I refer to the live 1947 Romeo below, from the Met. considered by many the Romeo of his time.

  • Well I like him best in lyric roles but as far as dramatic roles like Calaf and Forza or Chenier, he did not sing them, others like Pav . did not always wisely. Bjorling basically was a lyric or lyric spinto tenor. His 1947 was one of his very best . He sang lots of recitals and early sang over 50 roles is Sweden.

  • I once read a comment about the incomparable comedian Richard Pryor and the speaker said if you only "heard" him, you experienced only about a third of the impact of his humor. I think Victoria de los Angeles said the same of Bjorling -- you had to be there. Wish I had been!

  • His voice was an enigma! How could a lyric tenor sing dramatic roles?! The answer is simple: Impeccable technique! Technique, technique and technique again! Most of today's tenors could learn a thing or two, just by listening to Bjorling. Gedda certainly did. A Swedish thing?

  • What to say.... ? a singing model. No comparison is possible, with nobody else.

  • @MTondeleo Think this is a famous quotation. I have red this before. Think it was on a cover to a CD?

    But yes, it really captures the special feeling with Björling!
