Dear Gregor,
I'm not familiar with that recording of "Turandot" but if it is the recording
with Birgit Nielson, I think that was the last opera he recorded before he died.
He was, to my knowledge, quite ill. I believe he returned to Sweden and died
shortly afterward. I'm not positive of this information, but I recall hearing
this recording and thinking, that he was not singing his best. I'm not sure, if
he did in fact, record Turandot, at any other time. I could be wrong. Perhaps,
some other member could give you better information. Good Luck.
James Hanrahan.

I am an Austrian fan of Jussi Björling. One of my favorite Cd´s of
him is "Turandot" (Leinsdorf). But I am always amazed and worry about
the fact that Jussi did not sing the high note at the scene with
Princess Turandot (final of the second act)"No, no principessa altera
ti voglio tutta ardente d´amor" (Corelli did it and even Carreras
tried to do it).

You are admirers and experts about Jussi. Do you know, if there is
another recording (live) where he do the high note at this scene. I
cannot believe that Jussi never did it!

I am looking forward to hear from you.
Thank You and best wishes from Salzburg

Gregor
