Detailed examination of the vocal and interpretive artistry of the great Jussi Bjrling.A half century after his death in 1960, Swedish tenor Jussi Bjrling remains one of the most beloved singers in the world. He spent fortyfive of his fortynine years performing in public, rapidly conquering operahouse and concert stages on both sides of the Atlantic. Along the way, he left a vast recorded legacy that continues to enchant lovers of vocal music and inspire young singers. In this groundbreaking book, Stephen Hastings analyzes more than four hundred of the great tenor's recordings, comparing them with the output of a hundred other tenors, from Caruso to Alagna. The repertoire ranges from brief art songs by Schubert and Sibelius to entire opera recordingssome madein the studio, others captured live. What emerges is a richly layered portrait of this most musical of singers. As Hastings's comparisons demonstrate, Bjrling left his unique imprint on all the scores he sang, combining a perennial freshness of approach with the richly inflected phrasing made possible by a perfectly honed technique.Born in London and educated in Oxford, Stephen Hastings has been the Milan correspondent of Opera Newssince 1991 and editor in chief of the Italian monthly Musica for the past twelve years.
