“More inveterate collectors will want this latest issue - which also is
reported to be the last issue from Bluebell, who have done a sterling job
over the years to put on disc innumerable previously unavailable Jussi
titles. The team behind this set and all the previous issues of Jussi
Björling recordings have done sterling service to his memory and their
best reward would be that even more people would invest in all the riches
that this and the previous issues contain. A cultural achievement of the
utmost importance”.” MusicWeb International |

This month is an excellent one for Björling fans. This collection is a treasury of rare performances from the US and Sweden and includes previously unreleased material. There is commentary and interviews, as well as Art and popular songs, Arias and duets and there are many guest artists such as Licia Albanese, Anna Lisa Björling and Renata Tebaldi. “Björling recorded [Lensky's aria] many times but never, I think, so poignantly as here. As a prologue to this year's centenary celebrations the album is a worthy offering and this track an especially moving example of the great tenor's art at its best.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
