- Jussi had been suffering with throat problems for some time but went ahead with this concert anyway, thank goodness .Otherwise we would not have this beautiful version of Handel's masterpiece.
Recorded Bergen, Norway 9th June 1954.
Since I uploaded this video I have uploaded a new version with improved audio and coloured photos. The link to the new video is • Jussi Bjorling : Ombra...
I've restored/remastered quite a few of Jussi's wonderful recordings either separately or as part of compilation videos and if you want to listen to them all the link to the playlist is

How many came here after listening to Franco Corelli? Jussi is also awesome...2 bright stars high in stratosphere.
Thanks for listening and for your comment, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video.
I prefer Cecilia Bartoli for this piece.
@@eelcj1 bad take
Корелли из другой оперы,Бьерлинг не мог отказаться от своего кумира великого баритоно-,,тенора" Э.Карузо,попытайтесь ,а вдруг получится,успеха.
For me he is the best ever.His voice is a shineing silver lazer with a tear.
Thanks for listening and for your comment Petter.
Tears. Life is short but Jussis singing and his voice lives for ever.
Thanks for listening and for your comment with which I completely agree of course.
Je ne comprends pas anglais répondez moi en français merci 🌹❤️🎁❤️❤️❤️❤️
JUSSI BJÖRLING - THE BEST OF XX CENTURY, fo sure !!!!
Je suis d'accord avec vous bravo .the best.
@@mino7520 Mister MINO, In 2021 i FIRST watched the GEMS of JUSSI BJÖRLING . JUSSI, THE OUTSTANDING OF ALL TIMES.
He has such power, a verse later gentle and sweet: he roars and then prays.
Unique and oh so missed.
One of the finest rendituon of Handel composition.
Today,on the occasion of his 61st death anniversary of Maestro Bjorling my tributes to his memory.
Thanks Mr. McGrail for loading the performance.
The pleasure is all mine Aditya, thanks for listening, I'm really pleased that you enjoyed the video.
Bjorling's voice sound. IMCOMPARABLE!!!!
Thanks for listening and for your comment Leonardo, I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
My most beloved tenor singing this immortal aria.
Thank you maestro.
Thanks for listening Aditya, I'm very pleased that you enjoyed the video, Jussi has been at the top of my list for almost 60 years.

Dear Sir,
I heard the voice of Bjorling for the first time in the year 1995 when i heard him in Puccini's opera singing Che Gelida Manina.
One of my elderly friend, Mr. Hoshi Modi, a resident in the Fort aria, Mumbai told me that he has a vast collection of LPs & audio cassettes of great tenors of the early 20th century apart with him, which he offered to give me.
I requested him to record them for me on audio casettes.
I am so endebted to him that in a peiod of 1- 2 months, he gave me recordings of various arias sung by Bjorling, Giocomo Lauri- Volpi, and others with meticulously typed out names of each aria & recording date , as well as the set of 2 video recordings of Puccini's opera with above aria.
In those recordings, i got to know a real voice power, range & sublimity of Bjorling' s voice.
Its treassured possession.
I am totally new to western classical music which i encountered firstly in 1990s through the recording of comosers brought home on LP's as a member of the music library of the British Council Library, Mumbai
@@adityapurohit8232 Thank you for your message Aditya and your very interesting story of how you came to love the singing of the great Jussi Bjorling. Your friend Mr. Hoshi Modi must have been a very good natured and generous man and, in my opinion, did you a great service in gifting to you all his recordings of the great singers of the past.
There's no better place than RUclips to follow up your interest in music and I've uploaded quite a few Jussi Bjorling recordings myself. The most popular one, and it is certainly one of my favourites, showing Jussi at his very best, is O Helga Natt (O Holy Night). It is a religious Christmas song but whatever your religion it is simply a beautiful piece of music perfectly sung by Jussi. You may already be familiar with it but, if not, I've put a link to the video below.

Dear Mr. McGrail,
Thanks for your kind reply and and additional link of Maestro Bjorling singing a song " Holy Night "
I saw & heard the prformance of maestro Bjorling singing a song " Holy Night " sung in Sweedish supported with an English translation, helping to understand the song.
The performance was extraordinary and very pleasing. His phrasing is accurate and timbre of voice is rich.
Thanks,
Aditya
@@adityapurohit8232 The pleasure's all mine Aditya, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video.
I had the privilage of hearing this outstanding tenor in a recital London's Albert Hall on a Sunday night in 1953 or 1954. Unforgetable.
Thanks for listening, I hope that you enjoyed the video. That's a wonderful memory to have.
My friend and I had only managed seats at the side of the stage and he turned and sang in our direction once because , he said, we could then get the full benefit of his voice. I'm 86 years of age now and this is one of the things I will never forget. A wonderful singer and a wonderful man.@@michaelmcgrailengland
I'm extremely jealous !
i saw him about this time in LA at the Shrine on a Saturday mat. I was a teenager am 85 now!
@@louislesseos1007 Thanks for listening Louis, you're very lucky to have seen the great Jussi"live", a wonderful memory to look back on.
Recorded in Bergen, Norway in
1954, The Bergen festival. Jussi had some small issues with his voice around this time. But as always unforgettable! My big musical hero! i have listened to him every day the last 20 years. And i had many good conversations with Henry Haraldsson who run the museum in Börlange, i hope he is doing well! . So sad to hear the museum closes. It's the biggest shame in the swedish cultural history! 😪
Thanks for listening and for your comment Roar.
Even Thank you!
Yes I agree
Yes I agree
I think they'll sort out the museum, by letting the national level (not regional as now) take care of it, and not cut down on the collection of things, but I'm not sure. Sveriges radio discussed this however. (Sweden now spent money on Somalis, not at least in cities like Borlänge. :( )
I came here after listening to Caruso. Unbelievable both - where would we be without RUclips and people posting this glorious music
Thanks for listening and for you comment Patricia. I couldn't agree with you more, RUclips is an absolute treasure chest as far as music is concerned.
I've uploaded quite a few videos and I've put links below to two that I think you might enjoy.
The first is Jussi Bjorling's wonderful 1959 recording of O Holy NIght and the second is of eight different singers with Ombra Mai Fu, It's interesting to hear the progress of recording technology and the singers are all wonderful in their own way.

@@michaelmcgrailengland thanks very much.
yes ... and with RUclips we also have this unbelievable performance by Benjamino Gigli in London some 21 years earler ... my father died in my arms listening to this ... all of them beautiful ... as you say, where would be without YT ... a little aside .. the Largo in Xerses, is about a tree! and was originally sung by castrati !! ruclips.net/video/d8G5azsXJ5E/видео.html
@@JuniorCampbellmusic Thanks for listening and for your touching comment Junior.
I'm not sure if you've watched it but I uploaded a video with eight different recordings of Ombra mai fu, including a newly restored version of Gigli's 1933 studio recording. On that video I mentioned that lucky tree and gave a translation to English. If you wanted to watch it the link is

@@JuniorCampbellmusic Thank you for this. I have an opera loving friend in london who is unwell. I’m sending her music every day. My dad was married to opera (!) And loved Gigli et al
Here a barytone colored quality of his voice becomes evident! So beautiful! Glorious!
Thanks for listening and for your comment Mette, I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it.
I read somewhere that Jussi had been suffering with throat problems for some weeks before the concert and, in the notes with the CD that I have, it says that he was suffering from influenza, perhaps this is what contributed to the unusually baritonal sound of his voice. Whatever the case, it's a wonderful performance.
I came here after listening to one of Corelli's versions. Both so different, both so beautiful.
Thanks for listening Mario, I'm glad that you like this wonderful version by Jussi.
I suppose Enrico Caruso might be too old fashioned for you but he made a great recording of this aria in 1920 and I uploaded a new restoration of it last year that I think you might like. If you wanted to have a listen the link is

Merci pour votre écoute et pour votre commentaire Marie-Jeanne.
First heard him when I was 10 yrs old I,m 80 now.Made Nessum Dorma popular , years before Pavorotti .He was the bench mark for all modern tenors.
Thanks for listening and for your comment Roger.
I'm a youngster of 79 and about 60 years ago was lucky enough to find Jussi's 1944 recording of Nessun dorma in a batch of 78s I had bought at the local auction room. I've loved his singing since then and still treasure that 78.
Very cool. Big respect, old timers. Two good stories. Stay young fellas.
@@ReckonRight Thanks for listening and for your kind message Mike. If you find the secret to staying young please let me know as nothing I've tried up to now seems to have worked!!!
Pavarotti was compared tothe great Jussi during an interview - to which he modestly replied: "Please, I´m only human" ((small Pavarotti-smile).

Tears, Life is short, Jussis voice lives for ever. OMBRA MAI FU !/there has never been any shadow to be seen ,
Для меня бесспорно, что у Бьерлинга один из самых красивых теноровых голосов в мире, однако эту, возможно, самую прекрасную из бесчисленных арий Генделя певец исполнил стилистически небезупречно. За многие годы наблюдений я успел заметить, что ария эта вообще не слишком дается тенорам, как правило, нажимающим на верхи, как делает это и Юсси.
Эта ария гармонична, прекрасна и проста, как древнегреческий периптер, и требует идеально ровного голоса, в котором с одинаковым великолепием звучат как верхи, так и низы, так вкусно поданные композитором, мало соперников имевшим в умении писать для голоса. Я помню лишь два великих исполнения, сильно отличающихся друг от друга. Первое, интимно- умиротворённое, принадлежит великой Кэтлин Ферриер. Второе же, по-генделевски масштабное и грандиозное, но столь же гармоничное - Карлу Шмитт-Вальтеру. Всё остальное, включая и Карузо, и по-своему очень впечатляющее исполнение Клары Батт, не столь совершенно.
Певец, способный передать спокойное величие и строгую красоту этой арии, способен на многое.
Спасибо за работу, Майкл!
Thanks for listening and for your observations Alexandr.
To be fair to Jussi, although it's still nice to hear it, this wasn't his best recording of Ombra mai fu and he had been suffering from throat problems for some time before this concert. (It wasn't my best performance either and I re did the video with better audio quality)(ruclips.net/video/AslqLmS4ePk/видео.html)
My own favourites are the recordings of Caruso and the lovely Kathleen Ferrier who was born in Lancashire in Northern England, not far from where I myself was born.
I did a compilation of recordings of Ombra mai fu that you might like to listen to if you have time.

@@michaelmcgrailengland thank you, I listened to both your suggestions, quite a discovery for me. May I ask you something : I cannot find a Pavarotti version of Ombra, typing these two words in RUclips... Do you know one, by any chance ? thank you again
@@bonjourclash5903 It's my pleasure, thanks for following the links.
No, Pavarotti didn't record Ombra mai fu, goodness knows why not, you would have thought it would have suited him perfectly. The other two of the "Three Tenors" Domingo and Carreras did record it.

Brilliant, he reminds me of Caruso!
Thanks for listening and for your comment Claudius, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree, his voice was very much like Caruso's.
And that puts him in his place, one of the best of the rest, but no Caruso
His voice sounds very different - deeper - almost a bit in the barytone area.
Thanks for listening, I hope that you enjoyed the video. I read one account that said that he had been suffering from throat problems for some time before the concert and another that said that he had influenza but went ahead with the concert anyway. Whatever the case, I think that, even though he was not at his best it is a wonderful performance.
Corelli AND Wunderlich! What treasures these recordings are
Thanks for listening and for your comment Ed. Actually I'm hoping to upload an Ombra mai fu compilation video tonight with eight tenors including Franco Corelli and Fritz Wunderlich.
🖐💯Lowe his Voice so much.
Thanks for listening and for your comment. Jussi was magnificent and shares top place in my list of tenors with McCormack and Caruso.
I like this. I have just listened to a lot of versions. this is soft, gentle. Like you might feel, under a tree. I particularly like andreas Scholl's version but this is my second best. I dont so much enjoy the more heavy handed tenor or baritones. kathleen Ferrier is good though
Thanks for listening Helen, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I'm not familiar with Andrea Scholl's recording, I'll have a listen tomorrow. Like you I prefer the lighter tenors but I do love Caruso's recording of this aria. I also agree with you about Kathleen Ferrier, she'a great favourite of mine and was born , like me, in Northern England.
If you wanted to listen to this recording again, I uploaded it recently with better audio quality and I also uploaded a concert that Juusi gave at the Hollywood Bowl in 1949 that starts with a nice version of Ombra mai fu. If you did want to listen the links are below.

To be fair to Jussi, when this was recorded he had been suffering from throat problems for some time before that had caused him to cancel some engagements. He himself did make better recordings of the aria especially at Carnegie Hall with piano accompaniment.

If some body dont like this i supose they dont like stay in this place
Thanks for listening and for your comment Roger.
Dont augment his sound to make it sound not so good just so you can make believe current young singers are sounding better. They do not know anything about this correct way to produce the voice. Not even anywhere close.
Thanks for listening and for your comment Joseph.
I'm not sure whether I am not understanding you correctly or if you are being humorous but what you are accusing me of is the opposite to what I am trying to do.
I try to improve the sound of the old recordings of the great singers of the past such as Bjorling Caruso, Schipa etc in the hope that the more up-to-date sound will appeal to listeners (particularly younger listeners) and that they will realize that such singers were at least equal to and in many cases vastly superior to the singers of today. If you have a look at the other videos I have uploaded you will see that what I am saying is correct.
This particular recording is, of course, of great value to the many fans of Jussi Bjorling but the audio quality is poor and Jussi had been suffering from serious throat problems so his singing is not quite up to his usual standard.
I have had a considerable amount of success in what I'm trying to do and the vast majority of comments that I receive seem to appreciate that.
Thanks again for listening.
@@michaelmcgrailengland Actually 'equal to' is a Tik Tok comment. You have to give up with the comments improving old records sounds. I have the records and they were purchased first hand while going to see Jussi in person. LIttle thing called my Dad did it and I have them all. Meanwhile back at the ranch my Mom won the singing lessons contest in 1957and strolled over to get them from Giovanni Martinelli. She taught me. So I'm not the Honda driver driving fast and trying to cut off the baby boomers in their Camry's. I get paid to sing. I can see what is going on so I also see on here how even Caruso recordings and Martinelli are suppressed on general searches so that only the hold work horse recordings come up and they are also made to be poor. This gives way to the ability to say things like "equal to" the young singers of today. With Alfredo Krauss, Pavarotti, Marcello Giordano all gone, only one is left: Boccelli. Everyone else is not it. Not even close. LIght years.
@@schipa456 Thank you for your reply Joseph but, to be honest i still don't understand what you are complaining about. But, hey, I'm 81 years old and don't really have time to debate things that I don't understand so I'll just keep restoring the old recordings to give them a better, more acceptable sound in the hope that it will help to preserve the names of the great artists of the past, Luckily I get very few detractors like yourself, the vast majority of listeners seem to appreciate what I do and give me very welcome support.
Unfortunately, as with all businesses, RUclips promote things that make them the most money but that, of course, is not in any way connected to me or something that I have any influence over.
Thanks again for listening.
This is great, but it does not begin to compare with Caruso's version
Thanks for listening Georgina, I'm glad that you enjoyed Jussi's recording, although he was not at his best as he had been suffering with throat problems for some time before this concert.
For me the recording made by Enrico Caruso is absolute perfection and I uploaded a nice newly restored version of it in 2020 that I'm sure you would like. The link to it is ruclips.net/video/K-_v2nluSB4/видео.html
