THIS was the recording my father heard pouring out through the halls of his dormitory from a fellow student's room, when he was in college. He was from a small Louisiana town, and was unfamiliar with classical music or opera. Hearing this magnificent recording ringing through the hallways, he described as a stunning experience, that converted him to an opera fan on the spot. He and I both agree that there is not a better recording of this aria in existence, nor has there been a better tenor since recording was invented. My favorite aria from this opera, is the "Le Reve - En fermant les yeux ", which Bjorling sings with an effortless legato that is staggeringly beautiful; but right up to today, at age 81, my dad still cites this as his favorite recording of his favorite aria of all time. Myself, I know others will disagree, but I remain besotted by Bjorling's 1944 recording of "Nessun Dorma", which I think is hands down the best recording of that aria ever, by anybody. I love this man's voice. Hearing him sing is, for me, like being transported to the moment of creation. Simply sublime.

I might add that, IMO, if you cannot hear the heart rending passion and emotion in this recording, you may need to see a doctor to find out what is wrong with your hearing. When my father first played this particular recording for me, I was about eight years old, and knew NOTHING about the opera, the plot or what the aria was expressing; we did not have a libretto for the piece, and my father did not explain what was going on in the plot at this point or what the aria was about. When the recording was over, I asked about it since, (as I told my father) the guy singing sounded like his heart was breaking. Years later my dad told me that when he first heard this recording, it was the depth of emotion he heard expressed in this recording that transfixed him immediately; and at that time it was the first operatic aria he had ever heard.

@LordMgls I think you are missing the real fine tuned senses! The highest level of expression is the one INSIDE the tone itself. JB is expressing a remarcable feeling in his tone. It´s like a tear of silver in his tone. We who have these senses and fine tuned ability don´t like when singers are trying to create feelings outside the tone by sobbing and putting extraordinary curles to it. That´s not REAL feeling/expression. Björlings VOICE stands for the highest expression ever carried out!

LordMgls commented on 06 May 2010

@Repulsion100 That gives a lot to think about. I have spinto who use those annoying sobs to disguise a disability of expression as well. But for me, expression encompasses what you are explaining me, but as well the sounds that good acting leads to the voice. I think that only considering that, we would be once more (-.-'') be talking about that myth which says opera and classic music is only to be completely enjoyed/ understood by a couple of (pseudo)intellectual musician listeners...

To kittycrunch456 (year later): I've tried in vain to verbalize that supernaturally beautiful voice. You've about said it all! Oh that Massenet could've heard Jussi, he would've melted, asked when God sent this singer to him. Some decry lack of Italian passion. Are they kidding?!! I hear Italian passion infused with Scandinavian melancholy (forgive, not usually given to nationalistic stereotypes).

Jimmy Wood commented on 25 Mar 2012

I am grateful for your comment, because I have a strange feeling that M. Björling's French sounds better than Roberto Alagna's, who is French? Italian family in France? Speaking of which, apologize I cannot reply in French, tho' no problem reading yours. I may be off-base, but to my ear Jussi's French - like his English, my language - is near-perfect.

LordMgls commented on 30 Mar 2010

Best technique I ever heard. Great phrasing, I've heard worst "prononciations"... But lacks expression. This needs a lot of expression. Caruso rules. Villazón gives it so much expression that he always can make me laugh with his (cracked) rendition of this beautiful aria.

William Snyder commented on 13 Sep 2015

I was prepared to say that, although no tenor can touch Bjorling regarding "Donna non vidi mai" in the WRONG Manon, that his Ah! Fuyez left me cold. Well, it doesn't. I must have heard some lesser recordings. I still like Gedda better, but only by a smidge.

diarci commented on 27 Jan 2013

In her book, "Jussi", Anna Lisa Bjorling mentions that when the 17 year old Jussi auditioned for admission to the Royal Swedish Academy of Music the maximum score an applicant could receive was 150. Jussi received 150.

tat1685 commented on 10 Jun 2010

@LordMgls In my pseudo intellectual opinion, Bjorling was not only the finest singer, but one of the greatest musicians on record along with Kreisler, de Lancie, and Richter. So there.

donerlich commented on 17 Dec 2009

Jeez, his b flats sound like g's, so easy, natural, no excessive cover yet not spread like di stefano, the perfect mix. Not my fav tenor but he was def in a league of his own.

cameronpaul commented on 03 Jul 2011

Even with all the restrictions of an early recording, it's not hard to see why Bjorling is perhaps the greatest tenor of the 20th c., perhaps the greatest ever!

lesbonnesoreilles commented on 05 Dec 2009

Bjorling a été l'inspiration de jeunesse de ce ténor québécois Pierre Boutet dont je joins cet extrait. Je peux comprendre !! Quelle voix extraordinaire !!

cameronpaul commented on 21 May 2013

Well whoever the judges were they certainly knew a great voice when they heard one - possibly the finest lyric tenor of all time!
