Hi J.S. and Welcome!

Done to death? Hardly. This group has been extremely quiet so I was
delighted to see your message this morning.

My 2 favorite Bjoerling recordings would have to be:

1) Duet from the Pearl Fishers with Robert Merrill. This was the first
Bjoerling recording I heard and it made my socks roll up and down! :-)

2) Verdi Requiem. Live performance at Carnegie Hall in 1942 (or 1941?
early 40s, anyway) with Toscanini and the NBC. I believe that this
recording was unpublished until some time in the 80s.
