    How amazing it would have been to have recordings of Bjorling in all the Donizetti's which he sang at the Stockholm Opera in early 1930"s, also to hear him in Fidelio. I also wish he had time to record more of the dramatic and spinto areas during the final 3 years of his life since the voice had darkened so much by then. What would his "O Paradiso" have sounded like in '57-60. And how about a full recording of Don Jose. Of course this and much more was talked about by the late 50's, but alas,....never happened!

    @PompousOperaFanatic How well I agree with you! Peerce and Tucker were vocal wonders praised all over the world for their thrilling voices and command of technique and, of course, the same is true for Bjorling. No tenor is able to sing everything and everyone reserves the right to make informed criticism but to just heap abuse on another not the comments per-se but the party making the comment is in very bad taste.

  • @drjjpdc

    One of my favorite stories comes from the 30's when he was singing at the Swedish Opera as a young tenor. He was to sing Boris and guess who dropped by. Yup, Chaliapin. Would that there was some kind of recording so that we could hear both of these voices in the same opera!?

    @RoyKa2010 Před 14 lety +2

    Having seen the comments, I almost thought I didn't want to listen to it. But now that I have, I believe people are being too negative about his rendition. Yes, it wasn't the most masterful start, and yes, there was occasional breathing, but I find the rest of the aria really superb. It's not the definitive version but even with the McCormack version in my memory, I still enjoy listening to this one.And concluding that Bjorlng shouldn't have done this repertoire at all may be a little too much!

  • @gaytenor
    @gaytenor Před 14 lety +2

    @zgopify For the same reasons you mention below he tried out Aida in Chicago wasn't pleased with the results and DROPPED THE ROLE. Tucker dropped both Faust and Hoffmann early and I cannot tell why because he sounded great but a singer must be careful in the selection of his repertoire. Bjorling's best role may well have been Romeo which he didn't drop from his repertoire but just wasn't being done in the subsequent years. The Romeo, happily is available. That performance is A+++++++++++++++.

    Such hostility on this video. I will say this: Bjorling's performance here is not up to par with his usual excellence - to say this is the most amazing Bjorling could do would be an insult to the truly amazing performances he gave in the French (and some Verdi) repertoire. And personally I've never heard a better Don Ottavio than Leopold Simoneau - the role sounded like it was written for his voice.

  • @MTondeleo
    @MTondeleo Před 14 lety +3

    Personally know little about, and have little interest in, the academics of singing. But must be a distinction between breath control and coloratura. Once heard Met Opera Panel experts marvel at Björling's ability to sustain forever. But he did very little coloratura. I'd think this aria calls for a Rossini tenor, likes of Rockwell Blake, Juan Diego Flores. Don't give a hoot about picked nits, hearing this voice from heaven fills my heart to the brim.

    Bjoerling had one of the most beautiful tenor voice ever.
    But his breath support in the phrase starting at 1:38 was not what Mozart wrote. Luigi Alva and the 1970's Domingo (Downes conducting) had them sing that entire phrase in one breath.
    Bjoerling took three breaths in that phrase from 1:38 to 1:56.
    Domingo took NO breaths from 1:38 to not just 1:56 but 2:02!
    I've never heard anyone do that. But you have to make sure it's the Domingo with Downes conducting to hear that amazing feat.

    @Lovelytenor1 Are you listening with your heart or your ears? This performance by a true great singer is not up to his usual standards and performances by Wunderlich, Peerce, Jadlowker, McCormack, and the young Domingo among many others are more in keeping with the aria. The coloratura passage should not be broken as it is here. This may have been Bjorling's way with the aria because his performance of Lenski's aria is stunning as is the Beethoven song that he began the concert with.

    @shiicoff1 In some of his recordings Jadlowker actually sounds more than a little like Caruso good examples being 'ah, si ben mio,' and 'cielo e mar.' Jadlowker had a voice that was as much baritone as tenor but he was pushed into singing some roles because of the metallic ring of his upper register. Some of his leider recordings are highly valued and his Mozart, including 'il mio tesoro' is breathtaking especially the Four nel mar.

Obviously he chose to move in another direction with his repertoire which, in his early years, was in some ways a mistake. I wish that among all his great roles he could have found time for BELMONTE, OTTAVIO, FERNANDO! & TAMINO! Perhaps it would have been better for his heart condition as well.

    so much vitriol here. I'm almost hesitant to say anything ... but I will anyway. Bjorling was one of the greatest tenors, in my mind often, the very best of the many superlatives. He HIMSELF did not feel comfortable, certainly mid to late career anyway(he stated this) singing the entirety of a Mozart role onstage. He loved Mozart's music(was quoted saying so several times) but knew his voice wasn't particularly suited for it. And he loved this aria. Doesn't it show. That's all...

      @marcusromedahl5899 Před 9 lety +3

      ***** I think it was customary to do so back then. Mozart did not intend both arias to be sung, he wrote Dalla sua pace to replace Il mio tesoro because a tenor in Vienna was not able to sing it. The same is true, as you say about Ballo aria, and I think also "Possente Amor Mi Chiama" from Rigoletto was cut from many performances - I do not know, but I think Tucker perhaps was the first to restore it in modern time.

    • @charleswebb8230

      Agreed, and Alva did it live onstage repeatedly over many years. He stuck to light roles and isn't as well known as some others like Bjoerling, Tucker, Peerce, who did Verdi and Puccini in that era. He is alive at 92.

    It seems people have forgotten how INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT singing is. Yes, a HANDFUL of singers have sung that particular cadenza more cleanly than jussi does here. So what?

  • @littlemissmoodygirl
    @littlemissmoodygirl Před 15 lety

    First off...I LOVE Jussi's voice. Love love love. But what's with all the breathing between 1:40 and 1:56? Must not have felt totally comfortable with this aria (or was just having a rare off night).

      He can sing a toothpaste advert for all I care! I admit I am biased! Love, love love Jussi Bjorling's divine voice! Wish he was still alive! Most of our present tenors have pleasant voices, but fall far short of Bjorling, Caruso, Gigli and di Stefano!

    @Lovelytenor1 I have sang and I love Bjorling in Boheme, Tosca, Faust, Romeo, etc., but this aria simply wasn't for him. And remember that this concert was not in hicksville but rather New York and was planned for commerical release. If Bjorling felt the performance wasn't what he wanted released they would merely had have to insert the Boheme aria or Lenski's aria. Also someone does not have to be a singer to follow a score and know its demands. Your remark was off the mark totally.

    This is awesome... But half as good as how Araiza sings this piece... The reason is he cuts long phrases by breathing... where as Araiza somehow does sing without breathing in a non-human way...

    Jolie voix..interprétation de qualité....mais la vocalise sur "cerca" est incomplète les deux fois...surprenant car c'est une des principales difficultés de ce morceau ..Mozart adorait mettre les chanteurs en difficulté(ici le souffle)....un aspect méconnu de sa personnalité....

  • @gaytenor
    @gaytenor Před 14 lety

    @Lovelytenor1 Yes I do know that and I know that he sang the role without Il mio tesoro since it was cut. He frequently program Dalla sua pace which suited him far better. Seriously what makes it a marvel besides the beauty of the voice which only an idiot would deny. The aria is poorly done by an immortal. How did Tucker enter the discussion? I will comment that Tucker could sing coloratura better than Bjorling and he could trill which I've never heard Bjorling do.

      @geoffreyriggs5485 Před 4 lety +1

      Actually, Bjoerling does trill -- and a fine one it is. There are fewer such examples from him than from Tucker. When Bjoerling makes his Covent Garden debut in 1939, his Manrico (Trovatore) sports two handsome trills in "Ah si, ben mio". But in later Trovatores, he sometimes doesn't do them. Odd. Then, in his last Trovatore (Stockholm, 1959), they're back!
      Tucker always trills there. But it's curious that while Bjoerling's are just as dazzling, he uses them relatively rarely. Not clear why, and I know no one who's been able to explain it.

      Compare Tucker to björling in quality of voice and eveness of tone throughtout the register. You gotta be kidding me! Listen to Björling sings "O lola" from Cavalleria Rusticana. That arie troubles all tenor i have heard. If you talk about coloratura

    @SHICOFF1 Of course I'm not a stalker nor am I crazy. Some people cannot deal with the truth being pointed out. Tell me SHICOFF1 why it is so hard for some to deal with the fact that others like different performers than them and actually ask a civil question before the ad hoc insults and hatred is brought out. GermanOperaSinger had this guy pegged all too well didn't he!

    JB did not execute the signature cadenza of 64 notes in a single breath...also the vibrato is quite apparent

  • @LornaKellyZim
    @LornaKellyZim Před rokem

    I have been a fan of Bjorling for decades.This recording slightly disapoints as he takes not one but two breaths on the famous long phrase (1.40) whereas McCormack does it in one seamless breath!

  • @LaCucarachaTenor
    @LaCucarachaTenor Před 14 lety +3

    Wow. I never thought I'd ever hear anything come out of Bjoerling that I didn't absolutely love. But this.... ugh. Perhaps he ought not to have been singing Mozart. (Particularly in recital format.) Sorry if I've offended my fellow Bjoerling fans by saying so.

  • @robert111k
    @robert111k Před 4 lety

    1:47 reveals if the tenor has the breath control needed for this aria or has not. Björling, at least the day this recording was taken, did not.

  • @newshound64
    @newshound64 Před rokem

    Is it the early recording or is his voice a bit thin in the high notes?

  • @gaytenor
    @gaytenor Před 14 lety +4

    @Melomondo SIr please learn just a little bit about Mozartian singing before you display your ignorance. It matters very little to the likes of you that Jussi Bjorling and Jan Peerce were friends and he recommended Peerce to Edward Johnson because of how much he was impressed by Peerce. Bjorling was a classic act and would spin in his grave if he read the vile crap you have offered.

    I rate him as the most beautiful male voice, but not in this recording. Is it a poor quality recoding, or because of his age?

    Great recording by my favourite tenor but John McCormack is the only one who sings 64 notes in one breath. Unequalled, to my knowledge, by any other tenor before or since!

    Not a fan... this is kinda bad. There are so many little mistakes in here and breath / resonance issues, which, in my opinion should not be present in the performance of a "legend". Sorry.
