Jussi Björling - Tonerna (1957) 

Brilliant idea! Don't feel alone. Culture in music is no longer appreciated. My family also don't love opera! Jussi deserves to be known. No greater voice, noone surpasses him, not in the 20th century and certainly not in the 21st!

My mother passed away a few months ago and this music with Jussi was played at her funeral. So beautiful and emotional!

​@kerstinej, I'm sure she was listening, and was pleased with your choice. ❤️

Good for you! But I wish you long life and the discovery of many masterpieces on You Tube.

My son, who is also a tenor, sang it on my aunts funeral.

Admire yes! He had a beautiful voice. Noone has surpassed him.

My parents probably purchased this when it was released in 1957 (I have the album with one side dedicated to Swedish songs) and I have listened to it continuously since then. Jussi Björling still thrills me with every gorgeous note.

​@@ramonavandermerwe1159Surely one of the most beautiful sounds ever to be heard on God's earth.

​@@PippaATNo doubt about that! He was brilliant, noone even comes close to Jussi! His beautiful voice lives on forever! ❤❤❤

Anytime I feel stressed or anxious I listen to Jussi Bjorling singing this beautiful song and I feel a calmness settle around me. What a gift he was to the world.

And it never will.

Without doubt! Beloved Jussi Wish he lived in our times that we could have had the priviledge of hearing him in person! My personal favourite!

​@@ramonavandermerwe1159I know a few who have. They say recordings arent even comparable...

Jussi cantava benissimo in tutte lingue !

Dear J Kim, I only can subline what you was writing: I watched a criminal film and sbd let us hear jussi with this incredible beautiful song - I was alone with a bottle of Barolo and I must cry caused of its amazing feeling, great voice, sentiments, timbre and so on...

A huge statement, but I think I might agree.

Well said! I agree 100%

You are not alone.....

@@dubbelhenke854 One of the wonders of the internet and RU-vid is that occasionally even emotional exchanges can take place over many years between absolute strangers. A year ago you wrote "You are not alone," a very brief, very personal-sounding reply to a post Rikard wrote 9 YEARS EARLIER! Rikard had written "I find it very hard to fight the tears when listening to this one." I am close to shedding a small tear myself. It is commonplace these days for total strangers to converse over RU-vid about all kinds of topics over a relatively short time. We take that for granted. But in this case we have a very brief exchange of feelings spread over 9 years, ending with "You are not alone", again between total strangers. Remarkable, when you think about it.

*The greatest recorded voice in human history. The funny thing is I have met a few people who have heard him they essentially call all recording blasphemy and not even comparable to Jussi live.

@@antonhallergren588 Recording technology of the time was not good enough.

@@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609 yeah no. My fathers aunt (my grandaunt?) lived in Stockholm when Jussi was at his prime she is 99 now. Imagine having heard him live...

@@antonhallergren588 Ja, det är en dröm. Men skivorna är i alla fall bättre än ingenting.

The greatest.

The greatest.

He sang through a heart attack at one point. No wonder he died early.

I found the Still och still as a poem in Google

So moving, and so true.

@@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609 yes 🎵🎶🎶🎶

100% yes

The King of tenors! ❤

det beror på att du är förmodligen döv,....eller hur

Just like me. My grandmother was also from Finland.

Jussi is my ancestor, He was swedish. But I see Finland almost as the same country
