Abstract

Jussi Bjorling! I remembered all the times I heard the young tenor in the 1930s: he was the impecunious, enamoured Rodolfo in La boheme; the cynical Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto; Cavaradossi, the fighter for liberty in Tosca; Manon Lescaut's noble des Grieux; the lyrical Romeo or Faust; the despairing Canio. The voice was always the same- warm, healthy, beautiful.
