This 5 CD set covers the best of Björling’s EMI solo recordings and includes highlights from the three complete operas: CD 1 contains Opera and Oratorio Arias and Songs in their original language recorded between 1936 and 1941. CD 2 covers similar repertoire from 1941 to 1950. CD 3 goes back to the period from 1929 when Björling was still a local Swedish artist and recorded all his material in Swedish. The CD opens with the two recently discovered test recordings that Björling made for EMI Sweden on 4 September 1929: ‘For You Alone’ and ‘Mattinata’, both sung in Swedish. CD 4 contains a selection of Lieder and Songs, all sung in their original language, recorded between 1939 and 1959. CD 5 contains a generous selection of highlights from Björling’s three complete EMI operas: La bohème, Pagliacci and Madama Butterfly. He is partnered in all three recordings by the soprano Victoria de los Angeles.
