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 …

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. Because we have more members than ever before, and because there are just a few of us volunteers who keep JBS's programs running, we want to minimize the work involved in notifying you when your membership renewal time is due.

For Thursday, October 24, our program begins with five indisputable experts on Jussi's life: First, Harald Henrysson, the curator of the Bjorling Museun in Borlange, will shed new light on the lives of David Bjorling and his three sons as they traveled throughout America during 1919- 1921 , singers for hire. Clearly these were important formative years for the boys, as they learned their craft and many life-lessons as well.

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! In fact, the CD contains fifteen (15) performances of this one aria by this one tenor, possibly the first time any group has produced such a demented project.

A Videotape Of The Gustavus Conference, In Case You Missed The Conference (And An Essential Souvenir In Case You Did Attend)
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.

This Newsletter accompanies the biggest, tardiest issue of our Journal yet produced, in our three years of existence! When Mickey Dove was Editor, she made sure that the Spring issue appeared in March - that remains my goal too, for future issues, but my ambitions for this issue overwhelmed my schedule. We went to press on April 15, then somehow our publisher took 6 weeks to produce this issue! My apologies.

One year ago, we'd had our first successful conference and had a sense of validation by the events of the year: good cooperation from our colleagues in Sweden and the U.K., much news of Jussi as singer of the century in various polls, and the satisfaction of meeting many of you in Washington: We felt a bit worn down tin:111cially, unable to do some of the things we wanted, so we issued an appeal, to give us some resources to make more progress, explaining what we wanted to do. Your response was more generous than any of us expected, and …
