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!
Astonishing!
Everything it perfect!
Including the italian pronunciation, with not strange accent at all...
Just GREAT!
