Jussi Björling - Questa o quella (1945 live) 

This video requires a ‘love’ button. ‘Like’ just isn’t strong enough an adjective. ❤

Born in la italia but its Greatest singer and interpreter was Swedish born Jussi Bjoerling! Even Greater than thecGreat Caruso! NM

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.

Jussi's beautiful voice puts a smile on my face! Especially with this aria!❤❤❤

Bravissimo, Jussi Bjorling !!

Could u imagine hearing it live today anywhere

bravissimo

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.

Un vero artista

La mejor interpretación de esta famosísima area. Ni Caruso, ni Pavarotti ni Corelli. Ninguno lo compara.

His voice is so powerful, he had some kind of magic in him...

In those days opera lovers were lucky, so many great singers

Superb!

BRAVISSIMO JUSSI BJÖRLING!!!

....gifted by God and supervised by Angels.... Björlings voice is recognizable among thousands..... Mi piace moltissimo!!

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".

MARAVILLOSO

bravissimo interpretazione impeccabile

There was Warren and Bidu Sayao what great production !

Quite possibly the greatest recorded Rigoletto in existence.

Magnificent

It's like listening to the petals of the flower when it opens in the morning.

Bjorling was a great Duke and impeccable singer.

Magnifique! Et la musique! Merci beaucoup!

Fantastic I can’t believe who would doubt

Muy buena grabación, teniendo en cuenta que es de 1945 e in vivo!!

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,

Impresionante. Bravo

What a great voice! Such an intelligent tenor!!!

Lovely singing and pleasant music. 🌹

Funny fact: my mom was born 29th December 1939, that means it was her 6th birthday, when this record was made.

Handsome Duke, extremely!

How wonderful! Thank you GermanOperaSinger!

Thank you so much for this treasure! Waiting anxiously for the other excerpts!

...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

Meraviglioso. Un duca divertente e genuino ma virile. Vovalità impressionante a dir poco. Ottima performance

He sounds better in a live recording than on records, who can that be said of today?

Como amo la opera, el bell canto.....Me parece que el "top" de la musica vocal, sencillamente maravillosa indescriptiblemente!!!!! Podría escuchar todo el día, todos los dias...hasta el fin de mis días!!!!!

Voce bella e squillantr!!

No one tha the Great Jussi Bjoerling!!!

Perfecto

The incomparable °Jussi Bjoerling!!! The Greatest tenor that this Earth has Had! Opera was

Like jussi i Like a drink I am just out the pub he is the greatest

Omg. Thank you for uploading this!

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..

Terrific!!! Ann Elizabeth Petty

Lovely canzone as il duca di Mantova (the Duke of Mantoa) from Verdi`s Rigoletto. 🌻

Oh that cute, cheeky grin!

Only one Bjoerling!

What incredible magic! This singing can never be surpassed today. Where do you find these glorious singers today?

The best "Questa o quella" along with Caruso!

Beautiful singing ! Thank you for posting :)

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.

Martin: thank you for your illuminating comments.

ottimo !

Welcome back, Theo! Thank you for this exemplary singing.

Un duca di Mantova davvero baldanzoso e virile...

Only the great die young

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.

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!

Good tenor for mi opinion the best tenor caruso insuperable

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.

John Mccormick ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂

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!

What about gigli

one of the geats died too young like warren great baritone 1960

Der

Italians are fantastico but Björling was better than Mussolini

I'm shocked that some opera troll or other hasn't asserted that Callas could sing it better.

Kraus y Bergonzi lo superan en elegancia y estilo.

Великий!❤

Superb!

bravissimo
