Stenungson And Other Memories, Bjorn Forsell

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

How shall I be able to convey, with mundane words, something of all we experienced together, or describe our various moods, from "Himmelshoch jauchzend - zum Tode betrubt"? The first time I met Jussi he was sixteen years old - a short, unprepossessing, sulky-looking, rather provincial figure, with guileless blue eyes and a marvellous lack of nervousness. And how he sang - even then! He sang perhaps even more beautifully, more naturally, more lyrically than he did later, when he had studied technique with all its pluses and minuses.

Jussi - Fellow Conservatory Student And Friend Of My Youth, Gosta Kjellertz

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

In autumn 1928 I met the then head of the Stockholm Conservatory, Professor Bror Beckman, in a corridor. The auditions for entrance to the solo singing class were in progress, and he urged me to listen to a young tenor by the name of Jussi Bjorling. I sought out the young man, who was a year older than I, and for one of his audition pieces he sang the Act 3 aria from Tosca to my piano accompaniment. I was immediately captivated by the singer's incredible brilliance in all registers, but, as I was young and believed myself to be …

Jussi Bjorling Saga: Told By Those Who Knew Him

Johannes Norrby

"Jussi in our hearts" - it is a good heading. It is in the heart one has him still and it was one's heart he captured and which he still captures. His voice is with us still, through the wonders of technology.

Recollections: Jussi Bjorling's London Recitals, Lois Mewett

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Gail Campain: It would probably be safe to say that a large percentage of Jussi Bjorling 's present-day admirers never heard him in performance and consequently know him only from his recordings. Falling into that category my self, I am always keen to find out from those who were lucky enough to be able to attend a Bjorling recital or op era performance what the experience meant to them . Some years ago, I had the plea sure of corresponding with Mrs. Lois Mewett, an Englishwoman who now lives in Brisbane, Australia , and, at my request, she provided me …

Jb And 26 Years Of "E Lucevan Le Stelle", William C. Clayton

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Pick your tenor; any number can play. Is it Tagliavini, Wunderlich, del Monaco, Domingo? How about your favorite tenor doing a signature aria? Caruso/Vesti la giubba; Pavorotti/ the 9 high Cs from Daughter of the Regiment; DiSefano/ The Tomb Aria from Lucia; Schipa/Una furtiva lagrima. Next, you might choose your favorite aria and suggest ten superlative tenor versions. Oh, the parlor games we opera buffs can play. And for what it is worth, here is mine- one sterling tenor and one representative aria -BUT-over 26 years. Specifically, Jussi Bjorling from 1933 until 1959 singing "E lucevan le stelle" …

In The Spotlight: David Rossell, David Rossell

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

When the British magazine "International Opera Collector" published a highly controversial article about Jussi Bjorling by Tully Potter in its Summer 1997 issue, many outraged Bjorling admirers were quick to put pen to paper in defense of the tenor's reputation. Only a few of these letter writers had the satisfaction of seeing their letters published in the magazine. David Rossell, from New South Wales, Australia, was one of the lucky few, though his satisfaction was tempered by surprise at finding that what appeared in the magazine was not the letter he had sent to the Editor, but, rather, a highly …
