Search - Jussi Bjorling :: Jussi Bjoring: Arias, Duets & Songs, Vol. 2

Perhaps the greatest tenor of the 20th century, Jussi Bjorling possessed a voice of indescribably delicious beauty, with the dramatic depth of Domingo and the lyricism of Pavarotti. It has a unique luster and an edge that enters the body like an erotic electric shock. This recording earns its magnificence by presenting a vast range of arias and songs, including excerpts from Gounod's Pearl Fishers (breathtaking), Offenbach's La Belle Helene (fun and endearing), and Beethoven's Adelaide (scrumptious), as well as standard hits from Rigoletto, Carmen, and Romeo and Juliet. Each delicate gem of music is more magnificent than the previous one. A must have. --Barbara Eisner Bayer
