5. Music News: Jussi Wins Another Poll; Raves For Rolando Villaz6n; And More, Dan Shea
Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
(i) Another poll-result. We've already noted that we could spend the summer traveling between 5 different music festivals honoring Jussi, at least if we're willing to stay in Sweden and Norway during July and August. But in the throes of winter last January, opera's biggest on-line discussion group took on the question: "What singer do you go to, when you're in a blue mood and want to be cheered up?" The discussion group was Opera-L, and over 100 members chose to compare opinions on that question, generating the longest discussion of any topic that had been seen in years.

Given the great success of the Bjorling Societies' Congress in Sweden last year, and the amount of work needed to make that happen, it's pretty clear that another meeting on that scale won't be attempted before 1997! But smaller-scale events of one or two days. in interesting places, seem like a useful alternative: We'd like to hear your suggestions!

Our previous Newsletter #8 (December 2004) offered our members a new idea: A "mini-conference" in Los Angeles with two lectures, an opportunity to hear a starry new production of Romeo et Juliette at the LA Opera, and the pleasure of a few days of socializing together in the California southland.

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
Our JB Society has been glad to bring Volumes 4 and 5 of Naxos's "JB Collection" to our members, and now you can order Vol. 6 from the Museum: This includes all 12 "Erik Odde" recordings of Jussi with his dance-band accompaniments from 1932-33, as well as slightly more substantial music recorded under his own name (e.g. three songs from a 1933 competition for the "best summer song" of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden). We have heard Vol. 6 and can assure you that Stefan Lindstrom's remasterings are noticeably warmer and easier to listen to than previous transcriptions.

New Broadcast Material From A 1936 Faust Surfaces At Congress
Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
One of the highpoints of the Congress's first day, at the Gold Foyer of the Opera House, occurred after Stefan Johansson's lecture - he turned over his microphone to Stockholm music-critic Carl-Gunnar Ahlen, who had a surprise recording whose existence was totally unknown: 8 minutes from the first act of Faust on January 4, 1936, Jussi singing with Joel Berglund. the sound was excellent and the singing was especially sublime when Mephisto shows Faust a vision of Marguerite, Jussi sings "o Merveille!" in a truly marvelous way.

We hope that if you're a member of the Scandinavian, UK, or US chapter of a Jussi Bjorling Society, you'll consider joining our programs at the Los Angeles Opera on February 3, 2005, as described on p. 2 of this Newsletter. That event involves an afternoon of discussions about opera, Jussi, and other tenors, followed by a very promising performance of Gounod's Romeo et Juliette at the opera house, with two superb new stars, Villazon and Netrebko. Further, there will be fellowship and tourism during the days before and after the opera, during the whole period February 2-4.

1. After sharing the work for our September Congress, the three Bjorling Societies decided to continue cooperate with Harald Henrysson at the Bjorling Museum with future advertising. For one thing, we've decided to share an advert in the next British & International Music Yearbook, a publication that for the past 30 years has had wide distribution to various institutions as well as some 60,000 individuals.

We are glad to welcome the latest two CDs in Naxos's "Jussi Bjorling Collection," Vols. 4 and 5, and here give Kristian Krogholm's review of Vol. 5 since it contains the wonderful song recital that RCA published in 1952 as "Jussi Bjorling in Song," but never re-released on CD. Here's Kristian's October 1 letter from Norway:

In the current issue of our JBS Journal, #14, mailed to you in February 2004, we mentioned another remarkable stage recording of Trovatore with Bjorling, from 1957, available for the first time on Caprice CDs. In our Journal article we quoted Andrew Farkas's review from The Opera Quarterly. Now just a few lines from Roger Pines, writing in International Record Review

After the above century-long perspective on Bjorling, by Jurgen Kesting, we quote a few excerpts from John Steane's lecture on the same day. That perspective reached back to Gigli, Pertile, and implicitly Caruso, and was titled ' "Jussi Bjorling in London." Here Mr Steane compares Jussi's classic 1939 recordings for HMV of arias from Il Trovatore with the recording of an actual Covent Garden performance that year of that opera:

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK
The new year got off to a fast start for our three JBS chapters, all represented in Stockholm at the January Board meeting of the Scandinavian JB Sallskapet: Dan Shea represented the USA Society and stayed in close communication with Richard Copeman and Eric Wimbles of the JBAS, during his ten days in Sweden. The main question was how to proceed with plans for an international meeting-Kongress in September 2004, and all hands set to work at once under the leadership of Harald Henrysson. Harald already had made many preliminary inquiries, leading to quick and effective meetings with the Royal …

Our previous Newsletter #5 told of Robert Merrill and Birgit Nilsson joining JBSUSA as Honorary Advisors. Now with similar pride we can add the names of ·Placido Domingo and Neil Shicoff to our list of Honorary Advisors - these two unique tenors share much with Jussi Bjorling , in addition to being great tenors in their own right: Let's just note here that their fathers were all professional singers; that they each were singing semi-professionally by the age of 8; and they'd all debuted in a major tenor role by the age of 19.
