Jussi Bjorling was a swedish tenor, who graced many of the famous opera houses including of course the met in new york. He really was a force to be reckoned with (vocally) and dominated, along with a few others the early to middle parts of the 20th century.
He started singing aged four with the "Bjorling Male Quartet" and they performed in varied and wide places for eleven and a half years. Finally making his professional debut as the "Lamplighter" in Manon Lescaut in 1930,
Lets hear his truly beautiful voice right now singing Salut demeure from Faust.
That was a real pleasure to listen to, i am sure you will agree. Lets listen to one more from this Tenor Great. And this is a real world favourite duet, Jussi Björling & Robert Merrill / Pearl Fishers Duet.
Was that not just Heaven to listen to?
