rok., Re-Jussi Bjorling, for a great Opera singer he had little training and could sing any type of song. I think I would have because he has such heart and humanity in his voice . Impossible to be sure because you can’t do an experiment . I saw a long interview of Pavarotti on BBC .Most of it was about what he thought about this tenor and that and how they were compared to him. He was quite serious but his natural affability was still there . Toward the end the presenter asked him about Bjorling . He got real serious and said , " Don’t compare me to Bjorling, I ’m only human" . He meant it . I’m not a snob , but my opinion , and that of others , is the more refined your taste is , the more you appreciate Bjorling ..50 years of listening to Bach daily would refine a trash cans taste . I had a parlor trick I used sometimes when someone come over to listen .I would put on Pavarotti singing his wheel house aria , " Nessun Dorma " from Puccini's "Turandot ".which floors people who hate music .Then I would put it on with Bjorling as I said ," that was how you sing it loud , this is how you sing it good "3 out of 4 got it . |
