Jussi Björling

One of my favorite tenors, Björling’s vocal gifts seem effortless. He was a lousy actor, and supposedly a quiet, unassuming man, but wow, what a powerful voice! Most of his recordings suffer from the same problem most older recordings face. Think flat and distorted voice, grainy background. Very fortunately, a recording of his September 24, 1955 recital at Carnegie Hall exists that is far superior in quality to his recordings in the 30s and 40s and is mastered well.
