i only wish we (sweden) still had a singer with 1/1000th of his talent still around, this is an AMAZING vocalist, his nessun dorma is the best ever, only paralelled by pavarotti in his prime. Jussi Björling, om du ändå levde idag...
The high note is great BUT the entire piece flows from him with utter ease and eveness which not all other great tenors could command so consistently. Thank you so much Airbuzz
This is one of my favorites songs by Björling. The composer is Carl Millöcker, (Vienna, 1842. Baden bei Wien, 1900) and it is taken from an opera called Der Bettelstudent (El estudiante mendigo, The Beggar Student). In german, the aria is named: Ich hab' kein Geld (No tengo plata, I have no money). Thhis opera was so successful, that allowed Millöcker, who had composed many others with no such success, to retire from his job.
