Composer:
Charles Gounod

Artist(s):
Jussi Bjorling

Background: These first recordings of Jussi Björling show an astonishing maturity in the nineteen-year-old singer. The voice is not fully formed in some details, and the interpretation would develop much over time, but the perfect intonation, the easy breath, the sense of style are already there.

There is also a special, charming innocence in the youthful voice. It is important to remember that Jussi had been singing in public since the age of four and that his father had very early on taught him the sound technique, with which he entered the Stockholm Conservatory and which he basically retained all his life. Few tenors, if any, have been so consistent in voice and musical approach over their whole career.
