När Jussi Björling sjunger denna sång som ingen annan kan blir man så oerhört berörd av både budskapet och den underbara och oöverträffade sångrösten. Tiden stannar och man bara njuter.
This is my favorite recording of O Holy Night....which I sang during Midnight Mass Communion in 1944. Jussi's voice and this recording are magnificent. I was privileged to hear him in concert live in 1959. What a voice!!
Aren't you lucky! My father loved jussi bjorling. And so do I and my two brothers we are in our 60s. We would've loved to see this phenomenal tenor live, in beautiful Sweden 🇸🇪. He sings this the way it should be sung, absolute perfection👍🇨🇮..
I'm Italian and we have heard a thing or two where singing is concerned. There has never been anyone like this guy. When they say "like a bell", it's his voice that they're thinking about. Merry Christmas and happy New Year to everyone, and thank you so much, Mr.Bjoerling!
It doesn't get any better than this. I never get tired of listening to Jussi. Pavarotti gave the biggest compliment saying. 'Don't compare me to Jussi, I'm only human'.
This 80 year old Jewish man remembers being in my grampa's house in 1950 and he would have on Howard Barlow and "The Voice Of Firestone". I had no knowledge of opera but I remember Jussi appearing on the program. If you ever heard his voice you could never forget it.
I remember Voice of Firestone from my earliest years. I am 77. I, too, remember Howard Barlow. I can't say exactly if I heard Jussi Brorling, but I have never forgotten the thrill of our first television and my parents telling me all the stories around the music and the singers. The advent of RUclips brought all those wonderful memories flooding back. His voice brings me to tears.
I am from Denmark🇩🇰 and It is Christmas again and it is time to listen to the greatest tenor of them all Jussi Björling singin Adams O holy night/ O Helga natt🇸🇪
My dad loved JB's version of ”O Helga Natt" and we listened to it every Christmas for as long as I can remember. We lost him a year ago and listening to this song brings the sorrow back so vividly. I miss my dad so much but at the same time I am happy to remember him through this beautiful song that meant so much to him.
Vi,Vet att Jussi Björling är Världens bästa tenor. Men tack. Jag menar, Vi Svenskar Vet att Han är Världens bästa Tenor, genom tiderna!!!! GOD JUL från SVERIGE!!!!
Kommer aldrig tillbaka precis som det gamla Sverige ,vi som föddes 1956 ,välskött ansvar ,allt skulle fungera ,sedan kom galningarna och förstörde allt
It is Christmas Eve 2017 and this elderly Jewish man who listens regularly to Jussi rendering this classic is listening now. This is meditative to all souls. Peace to All.
I know it's been 15 yrs. but I'm just learning this song in 2-fingered piano, then realized to fully appreciate it it has to be Jussi and it HAS to be in Swedish (and I don't speak a word).. I'm 73 yrs old and bawling like baby 😂 THANK YOU!!
.., also let me add it's 2024, half of Gaza is starving, Russia is exterminating Ukraine and half the US population thinks a tinhorn dictator can solve our myriad of problems.. Happy New Hear!

@maria ekman Here is the most famous French version with George Thill ruclips.net/video/ofKk_Etapq4/видео.html Then we have Caruso's recording in French from 1916 ruclips.net/video/hv5t7pOs4vc/видео.html This is usually regarded as the three best versions of all time with the Björling version on top. However, there is a version that perhaps even beats Björlings. And that's Björling himself. His 1946 recording is the most beautiful singing performance I've ever heard.
Ger mig rysningar å tårar i ögonen varje gång jag spelar den. Jussi var den absolut bästa tenoren, någonsin. Hans perfekta timbre, pitch och framför allt den känsla med vilken han sjunger. Jussi 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖❣️
Jouluun lähtemättömästi kuuluva laulu. Vaikuttavat sanat ja Jussi Björlingin ääni... Korkea kohta loppupuolella saa väreet kulkemaan selkäpiissä. Muut eivät samaan pysty
This is so incredibly beautiful that my human brain cannot generate words to describe the sheer and utter excellence of this extraordinary rendition of my most beloved christmas song.
God Jul till alla Jussivänner från oss alla, nu så här på julaftonskvällen. Låt oss nu alla även se framtiden an med tillförsikt och positivitet och innerligt hoppas att 2021 blir ett riktigt gott år där vi kan återgå till livet som det brukade vara innan eländet som vi fick utstå i år. Må vi få ett i sanning Kristi namn välsignat år...
@Draugr Vad pladdrar du om? En fantastisk sång som har blivit en tradition trots att de flesta i Sverige är ateister. Ingenting mer med det. Som jag har sagt längre upp här i svaren så använder kristna dagligen asagudarnas namn, solen o månen, när dom pratar om veckodagar. Folk får göra som dom vill.
@Draugr ursäkta att du blev så upprörd. Jag har inte sagt något elakt. Men jag är lite konfunderad när jag läser vad du skriver om mig. Så synd att du har blockat mig, jag hade gärna blivit din vän❤
Varje gång jag lyssnar på denna underbara sång som sjungs av den store Jussi Björling, en av de största tenorerna som någonsin vandrat på jorden, börjar tårarna rinna nerför mina kinder och jag kan inte stoppa dem!......Every time I listen to this wonderful song sung by the great Jussi Björling, one of the greatest tenors to ever walk the earth, tears start rolling down my cheeks and I can't stop them!

Den här inspelningen får mig att börja gråta varje gång jag hör den. Den är så fantastiskt vacker. Och det kommer från en jäkla punkare... Det finns ingen som kan mäta sig med hans röst. Han är och förblir den med största sannolikhet främsta tenoren genom tiderna. Det sägs att Pavarotti grät när han träffade Björlings änka.
Absolut den bästa tenor som funnits... Varje gång jag lyssnar på hans röst och denna sång får jag gåshud... Och blir så tårögd och det väcker så många känslor inom mig...:-) Tack Gud för denna röst...
Every Xmas I promise myself I won't listen to this again this year because I know it will inevitably cause me to start weeping like a child. Every year I listen to it again and I every year I end up bawling my eyes out again.
Jussi har ej sin like! Beundrad även av världens största sångare. Övertygelse, styrka och kraft utan att det övergår till ett skrik eller ett vrål. Gör efter, den som kan! There is nobody like Jussi Björling! Admired by everybody, even by the world's greatest singers. Conviction, strength and power, without ever turning into shrieking or shouting.
Glad jul from someone who does not speak Swedish. For me it cannot be Christmas without this recording. Here come the tears. Glad jul från någon som inte talar svenska. För mig kan det inte vara jul utan denna inspelning. Här kommer tårarn
My pleasure, my friend. Glad you liked it. I too love this song. Luckliy Jussi recorded it for us shortly before he died. Sweden would have been a gloomier place without this wonderful song at Christmas.
36 år gammal första gången jag någonsin känt äkta julstämning hoppas inget händer nu med familjen god jul och gott nytt åt allihop önskar er en trevlig december högtids stund💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹
This was my Grandfather Torstens favourite Christmas psalm and I miss him so much , every christmas so much❤️ everytime I hear Jussi sing i cry and Im thankful for having Torsten in my life Thank You Granpa ❤️
Many have tried 2 sing like the great Jussi Bjorlig 🙂 but nobody can do it, far away from even close 😅 Mr Jussi was one of a kind in deed 👏🎵🎤😊 What a voice of gold he had 💯%💚👌
@@Leyla7292 Tommy Johansson is a member of a swedish band called Sabaton. His voice is amazing. Greetings from Sweden and Merry Christmas to you too 🎄🌟🎅🤶🥰
Swedish people say it is not Christmas until they have heard Jussi sing "O Helga Natt". Luciano Pavarotti emulated Jussi. There are similarities but Jussi is the best.
I'm not a vocal coach, but the extreme talent and precision of this performance is easy to spot. Greatest tenor I have ever licened to. Thank you grandmother, for introducing me to this voice. RIP.
@@dinerouk :-) thank you. Not always easy to be totally correct, when using another language than my own. But. Being corrected , is the only way to learn
I always feel such a sorrow in his voice, in spite of his incredible singing technique and power, there is this X-factor that moves so many to their tears. The swedish melancoly? So many of our folksongs are so filled with sorrow but, it does'nt really explain. It's a part, surely, but, as far as my knowledge streches, there's another element in his story. His father David was a very very good singer and pedagogue and made this trio of his sons, Olle, Gösta and Jussi to do tours in North America and Europe when just 5, 6 years old. That gave Jussi his fenomenal technique but, as I have learned, his fenomenal voice also made it natural for all, possibly even himself, to sing at his mothers funeral, at the age of seven. I believe he sang for his beloved and much missed mother for the rest of his life. Listen again and think of my words.
Yes, I love Jussi's voice, way way better than even Enrico Caruso, Gigli, Lanza, Schipa and the others, so you really don't have to be Italian to sing Italian Opera...Jussi, one of the Trio Swedish singers could do Art Song, Neapolitan Folk Songs, and OMG OPERA...I use to collect Jussi's records back in Calcutta, India on the old shellac 78 RPM records.... An interesting incident from "JUSSI"the book written by Ana-Lisa Bjoerling & Andrew Farkas (and which I own and treasure with many pages highlighted and dog-eared) The incident was when David Bjoerling went to New York to the Metropolitan Opera House to study and sing...he actually met and sang for the great Enrico Caruso and I guess pissed off Caruso so badly that Caruso slapped David Bjoerling...but guess what? David slapped him back...too bad in those days outrageous T-Shirts were not in vogue...David could print on a T-Shirt..."I slapped Enrico Caruso and now all I've got is this lousy T-Shirt" ROFLMAO There's an Armenian Bass-Baritone named Pavel Lisitsian that had that rich VERY NATURAL voice that Jussi had...I've not heard anyone else with the sonorous, soulful...words cannot describe Jussi Bjoerling's gift and talent...To me he NO QUESTION ABOUT IT...is the Greatest Tenor that has ever lived...to bad he died so very young at age 38, Caruso died at age 48 too...They're both probably entertaining GOD in Heaven...hah hah hah
And he sang for his beloved father too. His father who worked so hard together with Jussis' sieblings. And then suddenly his father died. And at that time it was poverty in most of the places in Sweden. So they had a hard time after his father's death. What you wrote is just what I believe too. And he had a deep soul of just life and living. I like other tenors too. I admire for example Pavarotti very much and Caruso and Gigli and other great tenors, but to listen to Jussi is just something that like a beautiful arrow touch your heart. Merry Christmas 2017.
childhood hardship and losing mother at that young age, we all know it will stick to the youngster's mind all through his life. I am sure that is the very reason to make him sing so spiritually and with unique take than anyone else, it is a bit sad, but not deep sorrow, blended with proud, hope, strength, honesty, and clean clear voices...love so much,
M. Lanza , E. Caruso and J.Bjorling had that insane amounts of pathos in their voice, a crying like singing . Sometimes feels like he is on the brink of emotional breakdown . Crystal clear voice with incredible squillo .
I'm from Borlänge, the same city as Jussi, and he was the one that made me fall in love with opera almost 50 years ago! Even Pavarotti wanted to sing like Jussi and he actually listened to Jussi's recordings for inspiration and "tips".
@@PippaAT I have 💖. I have relatives/friends who are buried in the same cemetery. Unfortunately, I haven't been home for a very long time, due to my physical disabilities. But one day I will go home, one way or another. 💖
@milosen6744 Thankyou for your reply. If you do go there ever, please place a flower, or say a short prayer from an elderly English lady, whose life has been enhanced by this wonderful and beloved man. Thankyou. x
@@PippaAT You're welcome. If I remember, I will 👍! Yeah, Jussi made our little town Borlänge "known" to the rest of the world and we have museums, statues and streets named after him. He has affected everyone in our town in one way or another (and still does).💖
Thank you for this upload, and the beautiful pictures to go with it!! Jussi... No words. THE voice. To whom who don't understand the power in the voice of an opera singer; I can tell that I very recently did the mistake to ask my neighbor, an 83 years old lady, soprano, to sing something. I sat across the table, 3 ft away. I felt the skin on my cheeks tighten, like a face lift of the power in her voice!! Not one tiny flaw in pitch. I don't remember what she sang, but I'll ask her. And she doesn't sing anymore, "I have done my part" she says. She is 83, doesn't use her voice, hasn't for years. And instantly gave me a new hairstyle. I AM SO FUL OF ADMIRATION!!! 💗 I can't imagen how loud a male opera singer must be, but if I ever meet one, I think I will stay back farther away than a couple of feet...
No Christmas is complete without listening to o holy night with jussi. Because he sets the tone for the true message of Christmas to humanity for all time.
True message? You mean the boldfaced and utter lie the there's a "god", adding to that, that he sent his "son" down to earth to be tortured and brutally murdered only to "rise from the dead"? On top of that if you believe the BS collection of toilet paper called the bible he wasn't born at X-mas but late summer early fall, only reason it's at X-mas was to more easily "christen" the heathens that celebrated winter solstice. It's a beautiful song, sang perfectly by Jussi but there's no true message in it, just lies that has been a cancer to humanity for 2000+ years and continue to be a cancer, the worst ever inflicted on humanity!
Allways amazing! He was very excellent singer. I have listened, from record, Luciano Pavarotti, Il Divo, and many singers try this song. Only Jussi Björling hits the high notes. Fantastic! 🥰
Jussi Bjørling må være den beste vokalist/ sanger gjennom alle tider. Har aldri hørt noen som synger så intenst, rent og kraftfullt som det han gjør. Hilsen fra Vestlandet - Norge
337 people that are deaf and cannot appreciate this apparently... Gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes every time i listen to it. One of the greatest, if not THE greatest.
My wife just came into the room to tell me it is not Christmas. And I replied this priceless music is meditative . And I as watch the horror of innocents slaughtered in the Ukraine I need Jussi.
En av de största gåvorna man kan ha är att kunna röra människors hjärtan och den gåvan hade Jussi Björling. Vilken gudomlig röst, vilken skakande upplevelse! Tack, Jussi, för allt det vackra du gett oss. One of the most precious gifts one can have is the ability to touch people's hearts - like Jussi Björling did, What a divine voice, what a shaking experience! Thank you, Jussi, for all the beauty you have given us.
Our famous soprano Karita Mattila loves Jussi Björling.. that is why I have been going through all Jussi's performances again.. and feeling blessed. Love from Finland and Merry Xmas to you all:)
What an incredible voice, Caruso's recordings unfortnately were marred by the studios, so Jussi has to be number one in the world for his renditions of arias.
I am swedish, but this man had a unic voice that get you uninterrested of the language and the texture. No, nothing but that marvellous power of voice that he was able to presume, get me crying. What air did he breath, and where did he get it from?
I have loved this tenor since I bought my first recording of him 65 years ago aged 16. His voice is timeless and effortless and I wonder that I had such good taste at an early age in 1950! My first record of him, which I just about wore out, was The Flower Song from Carmen, 78rpm on, if I remember correctly, the HMV label..
for once im proud to be Swedish, Jussi is the best tenor EVER to walk this planet, that is my opinion, there is no one that can even get Close to this version, Jussis voice cuts like a razorblade, rest in piece Jussi. JUSSI AD SALUTANDUM
Don't be a smartass Kerstin. I was of course addressing the original comment. Why would I call Constantin a fellow Swede if he writes "Greetings from Russia"? The issue I speak of is people saying stupid things like "for once I'm proud to be Swedish".
As a matter of fact, he has some Finnish blood, his grandma is Finnish. His name is Johan Jonatan Bjorling. It was his grandma who started calling him Jussi - Poika, Finnish nickname for Johan boy. So he is part of your country 👍👍
same feeling, took me 20 years, but lucky to have this, current radio and tv, never spent time spreading the truth, i cannot imagine for younger people to know him anytime soon...sad,
Thank you for sharing, Arianor. Bjorling's voice was a gift to us all. Your photos are lovely and have put in me in the Christmas spirit. I write from the US. Merry Christmas to everyone!
Every picture looks like it's from Sweden. Jussi would have been proud to see he's beloved Sweden and Dalarna, Borlänge for being depicted in this video. 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Idag den 23 december 2016 ungefär klockan 23.30 så passerade våran älskade Jussis "O Helga Natt" det magiska miljonstrecket! Riktigt kul att få uppleva detta så här dagen innan Dopparedagen. Det tog lite drygt 8 år och 9 jular att nå dit, men den som väntar på något gott... Denna video är f.ö. nu den tredje mest sedda Jussi-videon på You tube. Ettan ligger bara 30 000 titt före och lär bli passerad inom de närmaste dagarna. Stort tack till alla Jussi-vänner som tittat på och tyckt om denna video under åren som gått. Tack tack och God Jul till oss alla från oss alla :-) Leve Jussi och Leve Sverige (och övriga Norden)!
Would like to add that this version has a total of 3,500,000 clicks on You tube !! The single most played Björling upload is Pearl Fisher Duet with 1,300,000 clicks. Nesun Dorma has 1 120 000, just about as yours here.
Jeg husker fra min barndom hvor vidunderlig det var å lytte til kristen musikk i Ønskekonserten hver uke. Denne salmen med Jussi Bjørling var en av mine største favoritter!
Ganz herzlichen Dank für die wunderbaren Bilder und die ausserorderdentlich schöne Stimme von Jussi Björling. Er war ein ganz grosser Künstler. Ich wünsche allen Freunden von guter Musik eine gesegnete Weihnachtszeit.
My goodness such a beautiful serene background pictures against a truly amazing splendid beautiful voice, Mr. Jussi Bjorling. Very much tears of joy.Thank you for the upload.
Den här låten med Jussi är jul för mig. Många har försökt, men ingen har lyckats att sjunga den så innerligt vackert och ingen har heller någonsin haft en liknande pipa. Tack Arlianor och God Jul.
Är en självklar del av julen att lyssna till en av världens bästa sångare genom tiderna, har blivit en tradition sedan några år. Hoppas min dotter för den vidare till sina barn. Blir faktiskt tårögd när jag lyssnar på Jussi! Är INTE det minsta religiös det är bara den rösten..
När Jussi Björling sjunger denna sång som ingen annan kan blir man så oerhört berörd av både budskapet och den underbara och oöverträffade sångrösten. Tiden stannar och man bara njuter.
The perfect voice. I cannot think that his voice and artistry will ever be surpassed. Greetings from South Africa.
Agreed!! (From a fellow South African!)

När Jussi sjunger stannar världen.
Jussi was not from this planet

Han är bra. Men när Tommy sjunger denna stannar universum.
Oh yes!
My dad always spoke about Jussi bjorling and I couldn't believe how brilliant he was, what a voice.
Nästan enda gången jag gråter under året, är julaftons morgon när jag lyssnar på Jussi Björling.
Vilken röst. Helt underbart!!
Blir tårögd när man lyssnar till hans röst. Helt sanslöst. Jussi kommer aldrig tillbaka precis som det gamla Sverige.

Wow!!! What a phenomenal voice, bjorling was known as the Caruso of the north. I think bjorling was the best tenor ever.
It's difficult to do a side by side comparison due to the very poor quality of the recordings of Caruso that have survived. For what it's worth, Jussi sang this a half step higher than Caruso (singing in the original French) for reasons that only Jussi knows.
Pavarotti agrees with you. When asked if he was the best tenor he answered
_"I am but a mortal but Jussi Björling is a divine"_
Tack gode Gud som gav oss Jussi.
Hvilken röst ; hvilken röst!!!!
He sings it straight throughout. No embellishments. No pop, rock, soul, hip hop, gospel or jazz vocal histrionics. His only concession to personalization is that trill. Nice.
Jussi was my father’s cousin... AMAZING... brings me to deep tears everytime
He was wonderful. Lovely to have a family connection.
Brings me to tears too. Something so beautiful creates emotions that can't be expressed any other way.

Absolut den bästa tenor som funnits... Varje gång jag lyssnar på hans röst och denna sång får jag gåshud... Och blir så tårögd och det väcker så många känslor inom mig...:-) Tack Gud för denna röst...
It can NEVER be Christmas without Jussi Björling, alone on the top still today.
I return to this every Christmas and the thrill and joy is undimmed.
Every Xmas I promise myself I won't listen to this again this year because I know it will inevitably cause me to start weeping like a child. Every year I listen to it again and I every year I end up bawling my eyes out again.
Amazing tenor voice with all the control and gentleness needed for this carol!!!!
Jussi har ej sin like! Beundrad även av världens största sångare.
Övertygelse, styrka och kraft utan att det övergår till ett skrik eller ett vrål.
Gör efter, den som kan!
There is nobody like Jussi Björling! Admired by everybody, even by the world's greatest singers.
Conviction, strength and power, without ever turning into shrieking or shouting.
"Gör efter, den som kan!" Jag önskar alla som försöker ett stort lycka till. Hittills har ingen lyckats.
Jussi Björling: The greatest singer....ever. ❣
Jämte Elvis. Läs Birger Schlaugs "Gud älskar att färdas i en rosa Cadillac".
I feel the same , the most beloved voice, Peace and Love
Glad jul from someone who does not speak Swedish. For me it cannot be Christmas without this recording. Here come the tears. Glad jul från någon som inte talar svenska. För mig kan det inte vara jul utan denna inspelning. Här kommer tårarn
God Jul!
I with my parentes have seen him live. I was a little girl. Have a Nice New Year
How come you got to hear this recording in the first place?
"Här kommer alla tårarna på en och samma gång"?
God Jul och Gud välsigne dig och dina nära!
GOD JUL. Inte "Glad"!!!!
Jag beklagar att jag inte talar svenska. . . Jussi Bjoerling was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Thank you for posting this!
My pleasure, my friend. Glad you liked it. I too love this song. Luckliy Jussi recorded it for us shortly before he died. Sweden would have been a gloomier place without this wonderful song at Christmas.
This is one of a kind! Wow! I get tears in my eyes everytime listen to Jussi
36 år gammal första gången jag någonsin känt äkta julstämning hoppas inget händer nu med familjen god jul och gott nytt åt allihop önskar er en trevlig december högtids stund💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹
This was my Grandfather Torstens favourite Christmas psalm and I miss him so much , every christmas so much❤️ everytime I hear Jussi sing i cry and Im thankful for having Torsten in my life Thank You Granpa ❤️
Many have tried 2 sing like the great Jussi Bjorlig 🙂 but nobody can do it, far away from even close 😅 Mr Jussi was one of a kind in deed 👏🎵🎤😊 What a voice of gold he had 💯%💚👌
He was unique.
Have you listened to Tommy Johansson and his version of Helga natt ?if not i recomend you to do that 😊
@@vicky_74krasniqi33 Thanx 4 your recomendation 🙂 No i have not heard his version of that song. Now im gonna listen 2 that 🙂🎵 Merry Christmas 🌲🎅
@@Leyla7292 Tommy Johansson is a member of a swedish band called Sabaton. His voice is amazing. Greetings from Sweden and Merry Christmas to you too 🎄🌟🎅🤶🥰
Swedish people say it is not Christmas until they have heard Jussi sing "O Helga Natt". Luciano Pavarotti emulated Jussi. There are similarities but Jussi is the best.
I'm not a vocal coach, but the extreme talent and precision of this performance is easy to spot. Greatest tenor I have ever licened to. Thank you grandmother, for introducing me to this voice. RIP.
Such a sweet message
listened to!
@@dinerouk :-) thank you. Not always easy to be totally correct, when using another language than my own. But. Being corrected , is the only way to learn
I always feel such a sorrow in his voice, in spite of his incredible singing technique and power, there is this X-factor that moves so many to their tears. The swedish melancoly? So many of our folksongs are so filled with sorrow but, it does'nt really explain. It's a part, surely, but, as far as my knowledge streches, there's another element in his story. His father David was a very very good singer and pedagogue and made this trio of his sons, Olle, Gösta and Jussi to do tours in North America and Europe when just 5, 6 years old. That gave Jussi his fenomenal technique but, as I have learned, his fenomenal voice also made it natural for all, possibly even himself, to sing at his mothers funeral, at the age of seven. I believe he sang for his beloved and much missed mother for the rest of his life. Listen again and think of my words.
Kallar det "Svensk blues".
Yes, I love Jussi's voice, way way better than even Enrico Caruso, Gigli, Lanza, Schipa and the others, so you really don't have to be Italian to sing Italian Opera...Jussi, one of the Trio Swedish singers could do Art Song, Neapolitan Folk Songs, and OMG OPERA...I use to collect Jussi's records back in Calcutta, India on the old shellac 78 RPM records....
An interesting incident from "JUSSI"the book written by Ana-Lisa Bjoerling & Andrew Farkas (and which I own and treasure with many pages highlighted and dog-eared) The incident was when David Bjoerling went to New York to the Metropolitan Opera House to study and sing...he actually met and sang for the great Enrico Caruso and I guess pissed off Caruso so badly that Caruso slapped David Bjoerling...but guess what? David slapped him back...too bad in those days outrageous T-Shirts were not in vogue...David could print on a T-Shirt..."I slapped Enrico Caruso and now all I've got is this lousy T-Shirt" ROFLMAO
There's an Armenian Bass-Baritone named Pavel Lisitsian that had that rich VERY NATURAL voice that Jussi had...I've not heard anyone else with the sonorous, soulful...words cannot describe Jussi Bjoerling's gift and talent...To me he NO QUESTION ABOUT IT...is the Greatest Tenor that has ever lived...to bad he died so very young at age 38, Caruso died at age 48 too...They're both probably entertaining GOD in Heaven...hah hah hah
And he sang for his beloved father too. His father who worked so hard together with Jussis' sieblings. And then suddenly his father died. And at that time it was poverty in most of the places in Sweden. So they had a hard time after his father's death. What you wrote is just what I believe too. And he had a deep soul of just life and living. I like other tenors too. I admire for example Pavarotti very much and Caruso and Gigli and other great tenors, but to listen to Jussi is just something that like a beautiful arrow touch your heart. Merry Christmas 2017.
childhood hardship and losing mother at that young age, we all know it will stick to the youngster's mind all through his life. I am sure that is the very reason to make him sing so spiritually and with unique take than anyone else, it is a bit sad, but not deep sorrow, blended with proud, hope, strength, honesty, and clean clear voices...love so much,
M. Lanza , E. Caruso and J.Bjorling had that insane amounts of pathos in their voice, a crying like singing . Sometimes feels like he is on the brink of emotional breakdown . Crystal clear voice with incredible squillo .
I'm from Borlänge, the same city as Jussi, and he was the one that made me fall in love with opera almost 50 years ago! Even Pavarotti wanted to sing like Jussi and he actually listened to Jussi's recordings for inspiration and "tips".
Have you ever been to his grave? I would so love to go and say a prayer for him, but it is not possible. Dear Jussi, the idol.of my life.
@@PippaAT I have 💖. I have relatives/friends who are buried in the same cemetery. Unfortunately, I haven't been home for a very long time, due to my physical disabilities. But one day I will go home, one way or another. 💖
@milosen6744 Thankyou for your reply.
If you do go there ever, please place a flower, or say a short prayer from an elderly English lady, whose life has been enhanced by this wonderful and beloved man.
Thankyou. x
@@PippaAT You're welcome. If I remember, I will 👍! Yeah, Jussi made our little town Borlänge "known" to the rest of the world and we have museums, statues and streets named after him. He has affected everyone in our town in one way or another (and still does).💖
@milosen6744 You cannot know what that means to me. Thankyou.❤
Thank you for this upload, and the beautiful pictures to go with it!!
Jussi... No words. THE voice.
To whom who don't understand the power in the voice of an opera singer; I can tell that I very recently did the mistake to ask my neighbor, an 83 years old lady, soprano, to sing something. I sat across the table, 3 ft away. I felt the skin on my cheeks tighten, like a face lift of the power in her voice!! Not one tiny flaw in pitch. I don't remember what she sang, but I'll ask her. And she doesn't sing anymore, "I have done my part" she says. She is 83, doesn't use her voice, hasn't for years. And instantly gave me a new hairstyle.
I AM SO FUL OF ADMIRATION!!! 💗
I can't imagen how loud a male opera singer must be, but if I ever meet one, I think I will stay back farther away than a couple of feet...
No Christmas is complete without listening to o holy night with jussi. Because he sets the tone for the true message of Christmas to humanity for all time.
True message? You mean the boldfaced and utter lie the there's a "god", adding to that, that he sent his "son" down to earth to be tortured and brutally murdered only to "rise from the dead"? On top of that if you believe the BS collection of toilet paper called the bible he wasn't born at X-mas but late summer early fall, only reason it's at X-mas was to more easily "christen" the heathens that celebrated winter solstice.
It's a beautiful song, sang perfectly by Jussi but there's no true message in it, just lies that has been a cancer to humanity for 2000+ years and continue to be a cancer, the worst ever inflicted on humanity!
THE absolute best version of this timeless classic, bar none, EVER!
Allways amazing! He was very excellent singer. I have listened, from record, Luciano Pavarotti, Il Divo, and many singers try this song. Only Jussi Björling hits the high notes. Fantastic! 🥰
Jussi Bjørling må være den beste vokalist/ sanger gjennom alle tider.
Har aldri hørt noen som synger så intenst, rent og kraftfullt som det han gjør.
Hilsen fra Vestlandet - Norge
mr Pavarotti is right now sitting in heaven and get lessons from mr Björling.
+Johan Strandvall No, no said once Pavarotti. Do not compare me with Jussi. I am only a human..
Johan Strandvall
The stupidness is incurable. But I still wish you to find a cure for your sick brain in the new year.
@@annikan.351 Sure, though it does seem that you're referring to your own stupidity and brain cancer.
I don't think so why ? Mr. Pavarotti if he needed some lessons he the would have got that from Mario Lanca.
Takk for alt Jussi Björling takk Norges beste nabo for at dere har gitt oss en så bra sanger❤
Underbart❤
337 people that are deaf and cannot appreciate this apparently... Gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes every time i listen to it. One of the greatest, if not THE greatest.
337 people that need a hearing aid!😂
According to me, the greatest with a great margin.
My wife just came into the room to tell me it is not Christmas. And I replied this priceless music is meditative . And I as watch the horror of innocents slaughtered in the Ukraine I need Jussi.
Its Zelensky and The US Who is bombing Eastern Ukraina!!!!!!!
A voice unsurpassed in its glorious beauty! Perfect!
Absolutely glorious.
Länge leve Jussi Björlings minne och röst!
There were many great singers came but with respect to them jussi bjorling is the best a very happy Christmas from Ireland.
The Hymn of Christmas and a Voice from Heaven. Just splendid.
Voice from Heaven
So very true ! I hear God's voice trough him! I wish I could time travel and attend a live performance ❤
The most beautiful Carol sung by the most beautiful voice.
En av de största gåvorna man kan ha är att kunna röra människors hjärtan och den gåvan hade Jussi Björling. Vilken gudomlig röst, vilken skakande upplevelse! Tack, Jussi, för allt det vackra du gett oss.
One of the most precious gifts one can have is the ability to touch people's hearts - like Jussi Björling did, What a divine voice, what a shaking experience! Thank you, Jussi, for all the beauty you have given us.
Our famous soprano Karita Mattila loves Jussi Björling.. that is why I have been going through all Jussi's performances again.. and feeling blessed. Love from Finland and Merry Xmas to you all:)
Nu längtar man redan till jul. Jussi Björling med världens starkaste röst. En röst som tystnade alldeles för tidigt.
The best tenor of all time, unquestionable.
Yes I totally agree 👍🇸🇪..

Dette er den vakreste julesangen jeg vet.ingen synger den som Jussi Bjørling.Og de vakre bildene er med på å skape stemningen.Vakkert❤️
What an incredible voice, Caruso's recordings unfortnately were marred by the studios, so Jussi has to be number one in the world for his renditions of arias.
It is rumoured that Pavarotti once said "Don't compare me to Jussi, I am only a human."
I cannot sing or hold a note if I had 50%of this mans voice i would die a happy man. Perhaps the greatest of them all.
I am swedish, but this man had a unic voice that get you uninterrested of the language and the texture. No, nothing but that marvellous power of voice that he was able to presume, get me crying. What air did he breath, and where did he get it from?
Den mäktigaste rösten i hela världen, det är så underbart att höra honom sjunga.
Jussi Bjorling is the greatest tenor that I have ever heard, absolutely magical.
What a magnificient and powerful performance by one of the greatest tenors ever. Thank you, Jussi Björling!
Your singing moved my soul...
I have loved this tenor since I bought my first recording of him 65 years ago aged 16. His voice is timeless and effortless and I wonder that I had such good taste at an early age in 1950! My first record of him, which I just about wore out, was The Flower Song from Carmen, 78rpm on, if I remember correctly, the HMV label..
for once im proud to be Swedish, Jussi is the best tenor EVER to walk this planet, that is my opinion, there is no one that can even get Close to this version, Jussis voice cuts like a razorblade, rest in piece Jussi. JUSSI AD SALUTANDUM
+unwnme He is from Russia
Don't be a smartass Kerstin. I was of course addressing the original comment. Why would I call Constantin a fellow Swede if he writes "Greetings from Russia"? The issue I speak of is people saying stupid things like "for once I'm proud to be Swedish".
+unwnme No need to be rude:-(
Your comment was rude yes. I agree.
Tack Jussi och tack Sverige. Finlands bästa granne. Gud Jul!
Tack Finland! Vi står tillsammans nu och för alltid!🇫🇮🇸🇪
As a matter of fact, he has some Finnish blood, his grandma is Finnish. His name is Johan Jonatan Bjorling. It was his grandma who started calling him Jussi - Poika, Finnish nickname for Johan boy. So he is part of your country 👍👍
Julefrid till våra bröder och systrar i öst!
🇸🇪🤜🤛🇫🇮
Ja, Tack Finland!
(Somlig av konkurrenterna om den titeln har väl inte visat sin bästa sida på senaste tiden.)
Absolutely sublime, jussi Bjorlings voice is priceless.!!
So many other recordings of this song on RUclips, and none compare to Jussi...
How did it take me 30 years to find the only tenor I'd ever need?
same feeling, took me 20 years, but lucky to have this, current radio and tv, never spent time spreading the truth, i cannot imagine for younger people to know him anytime soon...sad,
I echo your sentiment. My life was transformed when I discovered the great Jussi.
Thank you for sharing, Arianor. Bjorling's voice was a gift to us all. Your photos are lovely and have put in me in the Christmas spirit. I write from the US. Merry Christmas to everyone!
Every picture looks like it's from Sweden. Jussi would have been proud to see he's beloved Sweden and Dalarna, Borlänge for being depicted in this video.

Idag den 23 december 2016 ungefär klockan 23.30 så passerade våran älskade Jussis "O Helga Natt" det magiska miljonstrecket! Riktigt kul att få uppleva detta så här dagen innan Dopparedagen. Det tog lite drygt 8 år och 9 jular att nå dit, men den som väntar på något gott...
Denna video är f.ö. nu den tredje mest sedda Jussi-videon på You tube. Ettan ligger bara 30 000 titt före och lär bli passerad inom de närmaste dagarna. Stort tack till alla Jussi-vänner som tittat på och tyckt om denna video under åren som gått. Tack tack och God Jul till oss alla från oss alla :-) Leve Jussi och Leve Sverige (och övriga Norden)!
Tack arianor. Världens genom tiderna största tenor!!!!!!!!!
I think I understood about 30% of what you wrote but the meaning is clear even if all the words are not. Leve Jussi och Leve Sverige. Thank you.
This may very well be the best ever recording of this mighty song.
Would like to add that this version has a total of 3,500,000 clicks on You tube !! The single most played Björling upload is Pearl Fisher Duet with 1,300,000 clicks. Nesun Dorma has 1 120 000, just about as yours here.

Jeg husker fra min barndom hvor vidunderlig det var å lytte til kristen musikk i Ønskekonserten hver uke. Denne salmen med Jussi Bjørling var en av mine største favoritter!
Björling är unik och underbar. Men jag måste erkänna att norskan Kyrkjebö är en av mina favoriter också-
The most amazing voice ever to sing this song.
You could be right sir.
I agree 👍🇮🇪🇸🇪.
Insanely good. What can you say. Out of this world -singing. I´m speechless.
Ganz herzlichen Dank für die wunderbaren Bilder und die ausserorderdentlich schöne Stimme von Jussi Björling. Er war ein ganz grosser Künstler.
Ich wünsche allen Freunden von guter Musik eine gesegnete Weihnachtszeit.
My mother born in Kalmar loved his voice and I her daughter love it as well. He is beyond superb!
Vilken otroligt mäktig, ljuvlig och rörande röst Jussi hade helt enkelt Perfektion!.
När Jussi klämmer i det sista o helga natt är det som hela Dalarns oändliga kraft igenom krig och strävanden kommer igeom honom.
De höga E:n som Jussi kom upp i kan ingen annan mäta sig med. Ren perfektion!
Det är många som har sjungit Helga natten, men det är ingen som är som Jussi Björling. Det är han som har rösten.
En mycket älskad jul sång från min Barndon . Jag mötte Jussi Björling som gäst I vårt hem.
What an honour to have him as a guest in your home! You must have been thrilled!
Pavarotti once asked, can you sing this better than Jussi? He said I'm not a magician.....Yes, Jussi the best tenor so far
Didn't he says "I am only mortal"? But he was right. Jussi was truly Immortal! 🙏🔥❤️🌌
@@zannetti923 "I am only mortal" or "I am only human". I've heard both.
The one and only, the best version ever!
Du har så rätt Irma. God Jul till dig och hela Finland. :-)

My goodness such a beautiful serene background pictures against a truly amazing splendid beautiful voice, Mr. Jussi Bjorling. Very much tears of joy.Thank you for the upload.
I just love his voice. Thank you, Jussi Björling, for this beautiful song.❤️
Den här låten med Jussi är jul för mig. Många har försökt, men ingen har lyckats att sjunga den så innerligt vackert och ingen har heller någonsin haft en liknande pipa. Tack Arlianor och God Jul.
Är en självklar del av julen att lyssna till en av världens bästa sångare genom tiderna, har blivit en tradition sedan några år. Hoppas min dotter för den vidare till sina barn. Blir faktiskt tårögd när jag lyssnar på Jussi! Är INTE det minsta religiös det är bara den rösten..
