A New Cd From Rca Classics Coming In 2003

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

The Conference continues to help generate exciting consequences: our favorite is the news, announced during the Conference by Daniel Guss of RCA/BMG, that RCA' s "reDiscover" series of classical CD-releases would feature a new CD of Jussi's complete September 1955 Carnegie Hall recital. This new CD will include eight items never before heard, including an especially brilliant version of "Come un bel di di maggio" from Andrea Chenier, three Sibelius songs and three others by Grieg and Sjoberg. Mr. Guss played the Chenier aria and Sibelius's "Svarta rosor'' for our conference audience, who agreed that the sound was …

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Your undivided attention, for a moment, please! JBS-USA has a major procedural change to announce, about the way we renew our annual membership contributions.

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

In a normal year we'd hope that the Spring issue of our Journal would already be in your hands. But planning for JBS' October conference has taken precedence, and we expect to delay the Spring issue till after the conference, and then publish a double issue.

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

A spirited discussion on the Bjorling e-list last summer has led to a concrete result: A CD titled "Jussi Bjorling sings 'Che gelida manina''' and what an understatement that title contains!

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Last spring, in anticipation of the considerable effort required to organize the coming June conference at Gustavus Adolphus College, your JBS Board in its wisdom decided to forego videotaping the sessions.: Then, just before the conference, we talked with Minneapolis member Michael Mayer who persuaded us to reconsider our decision: He pointed out that he had some excellent equipment that could be set up conveniently in Bjorling Hall, and offered to take charge of all the videotaping. Further, he would do the editing and take charge of getting the tapes copied and distributed.
