Music reviews of Artists Of The Century - Jussi Bjorling, The Ultimate Collection
Music Review: The Ultimate Collection - Bjorling sings your favorite arias with superb artistry
Rating: 5 Stars
The best thing about this CD is Yussi Bjorling's amazing voice, interpretation, and even perfect Italian diction. This disk contains just about all of my favorite tenor arias from Italian opera (don't look for Wagner here). I play it much more often than other CDs by great singers because I love ALL of the selections!
Description of Artists Of The Century - Jussi Bjorling, The Ultimate Collection
Surely Bj?rling was one of the greatest tenors of his or any other time, not only for the clarion ring, the purity, and the melting lyricism of his voice, but for his effortless lightness, impeccable intonation, endless breath control, and natural phrasing and line, enhanced by old-fashioned but wonderfully expressive scoops and slides. On this generous two-disc set, he is heard in a huge selection of arias and some duets with distinguished colleagues; most of them were recorded separately, and a few are excerpted from complete opera recordings--unfortunately not very skillfully, stopping abruptly in mid-phrase if not mid-note. No matter; the miraculous thing is that Bj?rling, whether singing an entire role or a single aria, can instantly create a character and bring him to vibrant life. He sings everything in the original keys--his high B-flats, B's, and C's are thrilling--and almost everything in the original language, including a few songs by Schubert, Strauss, and Grieg. Recorded live in recital, they are delightful--only one is too operatic. Among his partners, soprano Zinka Milanov and baritone Robert Merrill stand out. This recording presents an incomparable artist at his incomparable best. --Edith EislerGeneral CDs
