Bjoerling's "O Holy Night" - His last recording?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #70 of 83 |
I am new to this group but delighted to be here. I think Bjoerling's
version of "O Holy Night" is the most beautiful and thrilling ever
recorded. It invariably makes me tear up, especially at the end.
Question: I've heard this was the last thing he ever recorded - is this
true?

I'm curious - what are people's favorite Bjoerling recordings? (Limit
to two, please!!) Again, sorry as I'm sure this question has been done
to death here. But there are always newbies.

J.S.

Oh yeahh..I totally agree -- a great performance!! Although if I am being super picky, the high C# at the end of Cujus Animum was just a hair shaky sounding. ...

I must say, I never heard Jussi live in opera, I did however, hear him twice at Carnegie Hall and twice at Hunter collage. I saw grown men weep when they...
