Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
This long-awaited account of David Björling’s two trips to the US has finally arrived!

Initial critical response has been very positive, as you will read below. Order your copy now from JBS-USA (see order form or the web site, jussibjorlingsocietyusa.org).

Jussi Bjorling In Finland, Göran Forsling
Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
Jussi was proud of being of Finnish descent and he visited Finland on numerous occasions. During the war he sang at charity concerts several times and in 1951 he was happy to meet Sibelius at his home in Ainola, outside Helsinki. After all the long tours for many years, not least across the North American continent, he was at times rather tired of travelling, but to Finland he always travelled with pleasure, as he told a Finnish journalist. In January 1955 he had an opportunity to return to “the land of the thousand lakes,” but before that he was booked …

Interpreting Björling’S Grave As A Symbol Of Swedish Patriotism, Marc Nicholson
Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
In August 2017 I undertook a guided tour of the Baltic States, but thereafter I spent a week on my own in Sweden for the primary purpose of visiting the Jussi Björling Museum in Borlänge and placing flowers on Björling’s grave. I owe him a great deal, because he introduced me to opera as a 12-year-old boy in 1962 through his recording with Victoria de Los Angeles of Madama Butterfly, and still more because his beautiful and plaintive voice has accompanied and moved me over my ensuing 57 years. Björling is NOT entertainment. He is existential to us. So …

Our longtime member Phyllis liked to speak of being introduced to classical music and live concerts by her husband Harold “Hal” Josell, who deeply loved the singing of Jussi Björling. They accumulated a collection of LPs together while bringing up their kids, working and enjoying friends, in New Jersey.

Jussi Björling’S Des Grieux In New Cd Editions, Kristian Krogholm
Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
One of the two operas that Björling learned and performed on stage after he left the Stockholm Opera to join the Metropolitan was Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. He seemed to have just the perfect vocal gears for this opera, encapsulating both lyric brilliance and dramatic intensity in that unique musical instrument for the role of the lovesick Des Grieux. He sang the role between 1949 and 1959 and there are four complete recordings of him as Des Grieux, including the 1954 studio take in Rome.

Centenary Of The Björling Boys Celebrated In New Book, Sue Flaster
Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
Much of the story of David Björling in America, as well as his later misadventures with the Swedish Royal Opera, has been based on legend rather than actual history. In some cases, personal failings of a professional sort were replaced by failings of a more personal sort, with the goal of soothing wounded pride, it appears. Although David Björling seems to have been respected and admired as a singer, we have no recordings of his voice, and up to now, very few professional reviews of his singing.

Though DB’s concert belongs to a form of art which does not deserve public mention, I am grateful to give my opinion about it due to the pretentious way in which Mr. Björling’s family appears.

If memory serves, I was privileged to see and hear Jussi Björling in person five times at the old Met: once in Manon Lescaut, twice in Tosca, once in Faust, and one last time in Cavalleria rusticana. I also saw and heard him twice in recital at Carnegie Hall and several times in recital at the Hunter College Auditorium. I think there was also an appearance at a Swedish Seaman’s benefit at Carnegie Hall.

Completion And Initial Testing Of A Pressurized Oxy-Coal Reactor, Scott Hunsaker Gardner
Completion And Initial Testing Of A Pressurized Oxy-Coal Reactor, Scott Hunsaker Gardner
Theses and Dissertations
Oxy-combustion is a process which removes nitrogen from air prior to combustion in order to produce a high concentration of CO2 in the exhaust. This enables CO2 liquefaction, transport, and storage to greatly reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Atmospheric oxy-coal combustion has been successfully demonstrated at industrial scales and could be retrofit in existing coal boilers, but thermodynamic efficiencies are low and therefore uneconomical. Pressurized oxy-coal combustion has the potential for higher efficiency and lower cost but requires new technologies related to the coal feed system, the burner, and ash management. This project describes work needed to complete the …
Triophaser: Using Mendelian Inheritance Logic To Improve Genomic Phasing Of Trios, Dustin B. Miller, Stephen R. Piccolo
Triophaser: Using Mendelian Inheritance Logic To Improve Genomic Phasing Of Trios, Dustin B. Miller, Stephen R. Piccolo
Faculty Publications
Background: When analyzing DNA sequence data of an individual, knowing which nucleotide was inherited from each parent can be benefcial when trying to identify certain types of DNA variants. Mendelian inheritance logic can be used to accurately phase (haplotype) the majority (67–83%) of an individual’s heterozygous nucleotide positions when genotypes are available for both parents (trio). However, when all members of a trio are heterozygous at a position, Mendelian inheritance logic cannot be used to phase. For such positions, a computational phasing algorithm can be used. Existing phasing algorithms use a haplotype reference panel, sequencing reads, and/or parental genotypes …

The Jussi Björling Recording Survey — “Complete Opera”, Walter B. Rudolph
The Jussi Björling Recording Survey — “Complete Opera”, Walter B. Rudolph
Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
How many of you who submitted your list of favorite opera recordings with Jussi Björling have heard his recording of Verdi’s La traviata? The recording is from August 29, 1939 (Stockholm). Here’s an interesting note. This is the only opera which received no votes, yet today it is the most performed opera in the world. Yes, that’s a comparison of no particular consequence for a variety of reasons. (1) It wasn’t common repertoire for Jussi Björling; (2) the recording is not easily available in the United States, and (3) it was not the most popular opera during Björling’s lifetime. …

Lyric Opera of Chicago was an important venue for Jussi Björling in the last half-decade of his career. Between 1955 and 1958 he sang 31 performances there in nine of his most famous roles. Of these, Il trovatore was the most frequent. He appeared in this opera nine times over three of his four Chicago seasons.

Te Deum, Messa Da Requiem (Verdi), David Cutler
Te Deum, Messa Da Requiem (Verdi), David Cutler
Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
It has been thought by some that, of all Toscanini’s performances of the Verdi Requiem, this was the most dispensable of them. This reaction is hard to believe, as it is still a vastly imposing performance with some excellent singing from voices that can easily cope with the demands, especially Jussi Björling and Zinka Milanov. Stephen Hastings, in his book The Björling Sound, describes the “spiritual concentration” of an earlier performance from Lucerne, Switzerland, recorded in the Jesuitenkirche. However that 1939 performance has, as far as I know, not been issued and it is also incomplete.
