...as LP answered when questioned about JB and his own interpretations: „ I am only human“. My sincere respect to LP, who himself belonged to the greatest lyrical tenors. RDS
Spectacular singing with tonal beauty, phrasing and that magical to move from note to note and register to register with magnificent ease. He is one of -2- great Duke's I have in complete preformances the other is Pavarotti. From highlights Caruso was probably the best of anyone..
Bjorling's compatriot in the non -Italian wing at the Met. at the time, Jan Peerce, also gives an outstanding performance in another Leonard Warren Rigoletto on record. This is the 1950 recording conducted by Cellini, with the brilliant Erna Berger as Gilda. This was the first ever recording of a complete opera made by RCA on the then new LP format.
Cannot help but the image of a young handsome well dressed Duke riding a white horse with doz of servants around, riding through the court... Jussi never disappoint,
Bjorling was Swedish - sang in beautiful Italian. Today 9/9/2020 is the 60th anniversary of his death on Sept 9, 1960. He was a favorite on the Voice of Firestone.

Uno dei tre tenori del passato: Gli altri erano Caruso e Gigli. Anche se, nella mia modesta opinione, è suggetivo, perché avevano anche altri tenori bravissimi. Saluti.

Thanks and kudos to meltzerboy for the wonderful entry, wow, now 3 years ago. I too am hooked on his phrasing and the way he could bend the melodic line in such fresh and beautiful ways, always true to the music itself.
Что за запись, оркестр громыхает так, что певцов неслышно, и так играет, что вообще непохоже на музыку, а громыхание поезда. Бьорлинг - настоящий лирдрамтенор, наслаждение слушать его.
Bjorling has the tones of both Caruso,and Pavarotti,depending on the particular Opera.But he is a great so was Lanza,and Domingo which I had the honor and pleasure of meeting in 1981,while belonging to the Metropolitan Opera Guild.Since I too am a tenor,I am very partial to tenors also.my coach,Carl S.Olsen told me I am a lyric tenor.But I have some of spinto,too.Mr.Olsen now retired from singing went into the coaching to help singers reach their full potential.God bless.
@@alfonsodisilvestro2238Di Stefano is second to Jussi and the others must stand in line! It will be a long, long time before there is a better "duke" than Jussi Bjorling.❤
1 negative comment is one too many. He was the very best...and I know this performance; and Bidu more than rocks it out he park; Warren may be equaled, but never surpassed. Shoot(metaphorically, of course) the one thumbs down!
deeply troubled, unique not only his voice, also his artistry, he even adds the laugh into the singing, it is great and adds into that handsome worry free Duke's role.
@@haweiss2 I too am a huge fan of Correli's...dont get me wrong. But there is something about the silky quality of Bjorling's voice that lends itself to the slickness and scheming nature of the Duke. I dont think Correli ever recorded the entire role of the Duke, but I have...on you tube as a matter of fact heard him sing this aria. Stunning yes. Powerful and masculine yes. But I like the snake-charmer quality of Bjorling's tac on the role. Happy listening!
Ja, har vi hittat någon tenor med den rösten ännu? Nej,det har vi inte.tycker jag! Pavarotti, hade också en enorm röst,skall jag gemföra,så skulle det vara honom!
Mantenere una linea di canto così pura con questo tempo così lento è davvero incredibile
I have highlights of this broadcast on a 60 year old bootleg LP my Dad obtained through his job with RCA records. JB , Leonard Warren, what a cast.
Could u imagine hearing it live today anywhere
La mejor interpretación de esta famosísima area. Ni Caruso, ni Pavarotti ni Corelli. Ninguno lo compara.
La mejor interpretación es la de Kraus. Corelli fué un gran tenor pero no en este repertorio.
Bravissimo, Jussi Bjorling !!
In those days opera lovers were lucky, so many great singers
And in our days we are lucky to have such wonderful "uploaders" on RUclips as GermanOperasinger, whom we cannot thank enough....:-)
I have goosepimples all over me!
Amo a Jussi y su maravilloso canto, me lleva a otras dimensiones!!!
Like jussi i Like a drink I am just out the pub he is the greatest
bravissimo interpretazione impeccabile
Un vero artista
....gifted by God and supervised by Angels....
Björlings voice is recognizable among thousands.....
Mi piace moltissimo!!
This video requires a ‘love’ button. ‘Like’ just isn’t strong enough an adjective. ❤
❤
The Duke himself has spoken to us!! The cast here is so superior to today's singers that one wonders if it is the same "brasnch".
Superb!
His voice is so powerful, he had some kind of magic in him...
BRAVISSIMO JUSSI BJÖRLING!!!
Fantastic I can’t believe who would doubt
MARAVILLOSO
How wonderful! Thank you GermanOperaSinger!
Hé no german ,sweden
@@mino7520 My mistake! Best wishes.
Quite possibly the greatest recorded Rigoletto in existence.
I quite agree! ❤ Without equal!
There was Warren and Bidu Sayao what great production !
Magnifique! Et la musique! Merci beaucoup!
Muy buena grabación, teniendo en cuenta que es de 1945 e in vivo!!
Lovely singing and pleasant music. 🌹
Magnificent
Impresionante. Bravo
It's like listening to the petals of the flower when it opens in the morning.
Thank you so much for this treasure! Waiting anxiously for the other excerpts!

Meraviglioso. Un duca divertente e genuino ma virile. Vovalità impressionante a dir poco. Ottima performance
Altro che L.Volpi.
Jussi's beautiful voice puts a smile on my face! Especially with this aria!❤❤❤
His was I think the most beautiful tenor voice, or perhaps he is tied with Fritz Wunderlich.
Spectacular singing with tonal beauty, phrasing and that magical to move from note to note and register to register with magnificent ease. He is one of -2- great Duke's
I have in complete preformances the other is Pavarotti. From highlights Caruso was probably the best of anyone..
In my opinion Jan Kiepura was the best in this role. He had so sunny voice!

Bjorling was a great Duke and impeccable singer.
Handsome Duke, extremely!
Gorgeous, charming and a beautiful voice! What more can one ask for? A man truly blessed!
@@ramonavandermerwe1159 Not close or hard to find anyone half as handsome today..always love this guy's voice!

What a great voice! Such an intelligent tenor!!!
like your use of word...
Cannot help but the image of a young handsome well dressed Duke riding a white horse with doz of servants around, riding through the court... Jussi never disappoint,
Funny fact: my mom was born 29th December 1939, that means it was her 6th birthday, when this record was made.

Mrs Cullison he was my favorite childwood singer I grow with his sweet swedish songs !❤
The incomparable °Jussi Bjoerling!!! The Greatest tenor that this Earth has Had! Opera was
He sounds better in a live recording than on records, who can that be said of today?
Terrific!!! Ann Elizabeth Petty
Born in la italia but its Greatest singer and interpreter was Swedish born Jussi Bjoerling! Even Greater than thecGreat Caruso! NM
Oh that cute, cheeky grin!
What incredible magic! This singing can never be surpassed today. Where do you find these glorious singers today?
....if we like it or not, JB was one of those voices never to reappear again. We are lucky to have his records. Today is mediocrity or less.
They don't exist
not half as good,
He had an incredible voice and the rest of his cast as well! We just don't have these kinds of glorious singers anymore!😢

Thank you for this exemplary singing.
The best "Questa o quella" along with Caruso!
Caruso the best tenor insuperable

Jussi is absolutely the greatest tenor of all times.

I too wonder about the one "thumb down". Has he/she listened at all? Jussi Bjørlings voice sends shivers down my spine, there is no one better!

Bjorling is one of those singers whose recordings surpass his live performances. Having heard him sing at the Met iBBC the 50s

Good tenor for mi opinion the best tenor caruso insuperable
Perfecto
No one tha the Great Jussi Bjoerling!!!
Only one Bjoerling!
one of the geats died too young like warren great baritone 1960
John Mccormick ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂
What about gigli
Italians are fantastico but Björling was better than Mussolini
When you mention Mussolini, do you refer to Beniamino Gigli?!!
Please do not compare a criminal donkey like Mussolini to this great great singer and artisti!! Besides his italian diction is just unbelievable!
@@annamcancarini6953del sommaro criminale dai al tuo caro papà !
Jussi was better than all the Italians together! Not that I don't love Caruso, Di Stefano and Corelli, but this man had it all!

I'm shocked that some opera troll or other hasn't asserted that Callas could sing it better.
lololol. Don't worry, someone will get around to it eventually!😂😺🧒🧑
Kraus y Bergonzi lo superan en elegancia y estilo.
Ha, ha…😂
bravissimo
Superb!
