A Note From Bertil Bengtsson, Bertil Bengtsson Oct 2021

A Note From Bertil Bengtsson, Bertil Bengtsson

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

As many of you know, Berti Bengtsson is one of our youngest genuine c::, experts on Jussi Bjorling's life and art- a true Jussicologist. In past . , summers he has assisted Harald Henrysson at the Borlange Museet, and many of us have met him there. Recently he wrote to us from Mora, a small town about 100 miles northwest of Borlange, to tell us about his current work at the Anders Zorn Museet.

Plans For A Mini-Conference In New York On August 20, 2000, Dan Shea Oct 2021

Plans For A Mini-Conference In New York On August 20, 2000, Dan Shea

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

After the success of our June conference in Washington, our New York City members are eager to see something similar organized in the Big Apple. As a modest first event, our Board of Directors has offered to sponsor a one-day conference on August 20, 2000, with a simple agenda: perhaps two main talks by well known speakers and a roundtable panel led by singers who worked closely with Jussi. Considerable time would be left free for discussion by enthusiasts, and we'd hope to find some publicity and new supporters for our Society.

Beware Of Ips In Sheep's Clothing: Measurement And Disclosure Of Ip Spoofing Vulnerabilities, Alden Douglas Hilton Oct 2021

Beware Of Ips In Sheep's Clothing: Measurement And Disclosure Of Ip Spoofing Vulnerabilities, Alden Douglas Hilton

Theses and Dissertations

Networks not employing destination-side source address validation (DSAV) expose themselves to a class of pernicious attacks which could be prevented by filtering inbound traffic purporting to originate from within the network. In this work, we survey the pervasiveness of networks vulnerable to infiltration using spoofed addresses internal to the network. We issue recursive Domain Name System (DNS) queries to a large set of known DNS servers world-wide using various spoofed-source addresses. In late 2019, we found that 49% of the autonomous systems we tested lacked DSAV. After a large-scale notification campaign run in late 2020, we repeated our measurements in …

Shall We Show Them?, Howard Taubman Oct 2021

Shall We Show Them?, Howard Taubman

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Jussi Bjoerling, when at the top of his form, could pour out tones that compared favorably with any of the strong-voiced tenors I have ever heard whether Giocomo Lauri-Volpi, Giovanni Martinelli, Mario Del Monaco or even, I sometimes thought, Caruso. Bjoerling was a guest once at the Dutch Treat Oub and noticed that in the gathering were Richard Crooks, Charles Kullman and Frederick Jagel, all tenor colleagues at the Met. As he rose to sing, he whispered mischievously, "Shall we show them?" Whereupon he sang Che gelida manina and ended with a high C of such beauty and power that …

Some Thoughts About Jussi Bjoerling: Notes To The Lp Rococo No. 5304 "Jussi Bjoerling Volume V", Helen E. Hatton Oct 2021

Some Thoughts About Jussi Bjoerling: Notes To The Lp Rococo No. 5304 "Jussi Bjoerling Volume V", Helen E. Hatton

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

six of the great singers of this century had a common factor aside from their voices. Caruso, Galli-Curci, Gluck, McCormack, Tauber and Bjoerling were loved by scores of people who were never inside an opera house. Gigli too had this quality but on a more nationalistic basis. The popularity of the first four is understandable in relation to their era. Entertainment was largely homemade, or supplied by phonographs, and a yearly concert by the personification of a recorded voice was a memorable event. Tauber had the advantage of film and radio exposure. That Jussi Bjoerling's many concerts were crowded by …

Test Your Knowledge, Tom Hines

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

1. In the 1937 film, "Fram for Framgang," Jussi sang (in Swedish) a famous Rossini folksong that got him into serious trouble with the Stockholm police: he slipped into the radio station and illegally broadcast this number to the nation! Which Rossini song did Jussi sing at the beginning of this film? For extra credit, what Verdi aria did Jussi sing (also in Swedish) while standing in his sailboat later in the film?

On A Desert Island With Jussi, William C. Clayton Oct 2021

On A Desert Island With Jussi, William C. Clayton

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

The bad news is that you and your million-dollar yacht have foundered somewhere in the South Seas. The good news is that, as you groggily come to on a stretch of sandy beach, you see beside you a precious waterproof package. No, it is not potable water, nor is it food or clothing or matches. It is something far more precious- your Walkman, a goodly supply of AA batteries, and, yes, your tape of Ten Indispensable Items by the Beloved Bjorling. Now you know that you will survive, for no vagaries of wind, weather, or lack of wherewithal can overcome …

"Please Mr. Bjorling, May I Use Your Christian Name?'', Elisabeth Soderstrom Oct 2021

"Please Mr. Bjorling, May I Use Your Christian Name?'', Elisabeth Soderstrom

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

One December day in 1959 in New York I was interviewed for the radio by an American reporter. He asked me, among other things: ''Miss Soederstroem, what do you consider to be the goal of your career?" I had made my debut at the Metropolitan Opera a few months earlier, and my reply came completely spontaneously: 'Well, I reached that goal the day before yesterday. I sang Marguerite in Faust at the Metropolitan with Jussi Bjorling in the title role, and that is something which I couldn't, even in my wildest dreams, have dared to hope I would achieve."

The King In The Realm Of Song, Birgit Nilsson

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Unfortunately I can't number myself among the lucky ones who got to sing often with him. We had, for the most part, such different repertoires, and more often than not we were singing in different parts of the world. On a few occasions, however, I was his Floria Tosca and his Aida, and I can assure you that these were significant moments in my life.

It Became Cold ..., Kerstin Meyer Oct 2021

It Became Cold ..., Kerstin Meyer

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

It became cold in the room the morning I received the message that Jussi had left us - cold and empty. He was, in his discreet way, so tremendously alive. It was not only his voice which enchanted opera-goers and his colleagues on the stage, even if it is, first of all, the silenced voice which the whole world is mourning. No, it was also that there emanated such security from him - security and power and strength. It was infectious when one had the good fortune of being able to sing with him. The majority of us at the …

The Naxos Bjorling, William C. Clayton Oct 2021

The Naxos Bjorling, William C. Clayton

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Another CD collection of Jussi's HMV 78s has appeared, this time on Naxos 8.110701- Jussi Bjorling: Opera Arias. These twenty-three selections, dating from 1936 through 1948, amount to a hit parade of favorite tenor arias from Jussi's HMV 78s made during those years, all the best known standard takes, and all recorded in Stockholm with Nils Grevillius conducting "his" orchestra. Thus they are certainly contained on the EMI four-disc Jussi Bjorling Edition: Studio Recordings 1930-1959 (7243 5 66306 2 8 Mono), reviewed in our 3Q99 issue. The best news is the vastly improved sound of the transfers here (even …

Jussi In The News: Media Notes Of Interest To Our Members From Our Members., Dan Shea

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

•Thanks to Email from Toby and Karl Hekler, Yoel Arbeitman, and others, we heard of Fr. Owen Lee's eloquent tribute to Jussi on an intermission feature during the February 5th Metropolitan broadcast of La Traviata. Luckily, we had a tape going during that broadcast, anticipating some sort of "happening" on Jussi's birthday. Thus we can provide for you the precise transcript of Fr. Lee's statement. He pointed out that he had been asked to discuss his favorite singers for that broadcast, but that some of his personal choices, like Zinka Milanov, had already been chosen by others. He continues with …

A Charmless Jussi?, Cantor Don Goldberg

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

For a Jussiphile to admit that he doesn't like his favorite singer's rendition of an aria or song might be considered tantamount to heresy. But I have to admit to being disappointed by Jussi's performance of that most beautiful of arias "Una furtiva lagrima" from Donizetti's L'Elisir D'amore. Now, I can just hear your heated exclamations of "Mio Dio," "Mon Dieu," "Gott mitt der welt," and even "Dem dere's fightin' words, Cantor!" Well, so be it, and I'll just explain why.

Jussi And "Amor Ti Vieta", William C. Clayton Oct 2021

Jussi And "Amor Ti Vieta", William C. Clayton

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

"Amor ti vieta" was a popular encore with Jussi's fans. In fact, on the Atlanta Recital CD (Bluebell 020), he says that he will sing the aria in response to a specific request. I think that his approach to this aria is special, and one version, in particular, is peerless. I first heard my favorite in 1957, sung by JB as part of a recital on the fourth side of Cavalleria Rusticana, and it virtually spoiled all other versions for me (RCA LP LM 6059, September 1-7, 1957, conducted by Alberto Erede). Harald Henrysson lists four other renditions: a …

In The Spotlight: Leigh Metcalf: My Memories Of Jussi, Leigh Metcalf

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Like many others of my generation, opera for me began with The Great Caruso, to which my parents took me shortly after its release. I particularly liked the trio that ended Act I of Il Trovatore, so I went to the library to check out my first opera recording, the one by RCA Victor. I liked Milanov's voice, and I loved Warren's, but Bjorling's was something altogether different. Every time his voice entered, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, a lump formed in my throat, and tears came to my eyes. It had nothing to do …
