JUSSI BJORLING - Nessun Dorma - CD AJA 5472
One of the most instantly recognisable of great tenors from a century during which all manner of 'tenor' voices were recorded and during which Caruso, Gigli and several other Italianate tenors were the most popular, JUSSI BJORLING was one of the most accomplished over the broadest range of opera and song.
A highlight of this 25-track CD is THE PEARLFISHERS DUET with his Metropolitan friend and colleague ROBERT MERRILL which remains to this day one of the most often-requested operatic record on Radio programmes world-wide.
Of course, NESSUN DORMA (the title of this superb CD) is beautifully sung and puts to shame some of today's over-miked tenors.
