Jussi Björling sings "La Donna è Mobile" - Correct Pitch

I know that someone else posted this some time ago, but it was a half tone sharp. I also possess this video document and it had the same pitch issue (similar to the two Siepi vid's). I fixed it. Now enjoy Jussi's MAGNIFICIENT singing, this time with his authentic timbre.
Merry Christmas ! :)

I never heard of this man before today. He's in a league of his own. I especially cannot believe his "O Holy Night". Amazing!

[princepavarotti]

Jussi is the grand master of this very fine art. Absolutely amazingly beautiful!

@FabDN41 That was spot on man! I totally agree with You Sir! He had it in him. Should have let that out more often. He had the tools for sure....

Very fine and smooth singing! Thank you so much for this excellent posting!

@j67123 -Jussi was one of the finest 20th.century tenors of them all. Right up there with Gigli and di Stefano,and next to only Caruso.His best songs are the ones like o holy night. His operas were legendary

@premiereopera1 That's a B-flat? In that case, Pavarotti did the same thing. I don't know who sang it with a B natural. Who can hold a B natural as long as these two? Good God!

@curation123 You were lucky to catch Bjorling shortly before his death. I was only 9 when he died. I'd have loved to have seen everyone from Caruso and Bjorling live. We are lucky to have reminders of all the great performers so easily accessible on YouTube..

@j67123 I know. I keep pointing people to his 'O holy night.' It's nice to see people who recognize true talent.

Bjorling amazes me on so many recordings as does Caruso, whose 1904 'Una furtiva lagrima' is what I consider to be the greatest display of talent ever recorded by a tenor. To me, it's the very definition of 'bel canto' singing - a lost art.

@sefferpot JB had a beautiful voice.I will agree with you, He owns it a( HALF TONE DOWN.) ITS fine to enjoy it as I did,But how can you say its the best version ever without comparing other tenors that sang it a half tone down?I think it makes a big difference when an aria is transposed.It'S NOT just the B-NATURAL to the B-FLAT.It's the easier tessitura of the entire aria that makes it a lot easier to sing and broadens out the voice. Ask Domingo,he has been transposing for years
