These are from some of the old "Voice of Firestone" telecasts of the early 1950s which I have upscaled to HD and 60 fps and restored the audio in Digitally Extracted Stereo. The last item is a colorized clip of Jussi with the incomparable Renata Tebaldi singing "O soave fanciulla" from Puccini's La Boheme.
Color & B. & W.
Enjoy!

Jussi Bjorling is a magnificent tenor. I joined the Jussi Bjorling Society so I could share this love with others who revere him

Bjoerling had one of the most beautiful voices of all times.

*the I know people who have heard him live they say recordings arent even close to doing him justice. At night he would sometimes go out on the beach to sing by himself and people would gather in crowds just to listen.

I like Bjorling's humility and appearance. Outstanding performances every time. There is not the slightest misstep. Self-discipline and talent to the extreme. Who is at that level? No one.

He had lifelong routine of course, he had almost grown up on stage, and his father had also been touring in the US early in the 20th century, albeit not as the big star his son was destined to become. Jussi is a global and Swedish icon in the world of singing, more than sixty years after he passed away

How wonderful to see and hear the era of great Western culture being celebrated by presenting the most beautiful tenor voice of all - Jussi Bjorling. His artistry - along with that of Renata Tebaldi and others - is a reminder of an era when artistry was not only celebrated but communicated en masse in the hope that our society as a whole would be elevated.

My goodness, look at the size of the huge audience! One thing is for sure, people back then may not have had the technology we have today such as 4K HD televisions and Dolby Digital Stereo but they certainly had 1st class entertainment, unlike the crap dished out to us today.

Music is about unobstructed heart to heart communication. When technique and performance reach the highest level, the means dissappear and complete freedom rules. Kudos to the audio processing. Absolutely top shelf given the gear of the day. But make no mistake: some of the vocal microphones of the day were as good as they ever got. Love to know what was used.

It is done so well that it's almost as if one is there in person.. I have loved your Jussi björling singing since I was a small boy. I always felt there was something super natural about him. You have done it so well I can actually hear where he makes mistakes especially with the words in salut. It makes it more human and more admirable. As somebody once said 'the supreme singing of a very shy man.

My first LP of Jussi was with de Los Angeles - Butterfly. As a kid, I watched Omnibus with Dad. The was even before Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts. It was a Golden Era. As a side note, Jussi’s knowledge of languages is stunning, contributing to his amazing diction in everything he sang.

I use "Adobe Audition" to clean up any background noise and then split the mono audio into 4 stems using "Spleeter GUI", finally, I mix it all with "Audacity". It takes a while but the results mostly are good.

Bjorling and Tebaldi are superb in La Boheme. If ony Bjorling has recored the full opera with her rather than the rather limp De Los Angeles that would have been a TRUE classic.

@godlessthefree2880 6 ай бұрын

Tebaldi's voice was far too large to play the frailty of Mimi. She was a great soloist but always tried to outsing anyone she sang with. Victoria de los Angeles was perfect for the role, and was an integral part of the great trio that made their Boheme the benchmark recording, which is where it still stands to this day. That's my opinion anyway.

I am beginning to realize the extent to which Pavarotti and others copied his technique, but could not fully emulate his sound. It leads me to wonder whether Pavarotti's career would have taken off in the 60's the way it did had Bjorling not died.
