Jussi Björling collection Volume 1 - 6

Jussi Björling
The Swedish tenor Jussi Björling (1911-1960) was born in Stora Tuna in the district of Dalarna. As a boy he toured and recorded with the family quartet, in addition to visiting the United States (1916-26). His adult teachers were his father David, John Forsell (1928-30) and the Scottish tenor Joseph Hislop. He was a member of the Royal Opera in Stockholm from 1930, making his début in the small rôle of the Lamplighter in Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. His‘official’ first appearance was as Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni later that season.
Two years later he began his international career in Germany, followed by Vienna (1936), Chicago (1937), the Metropolitan Opera in New York (1938) and Covent Garden the following year. He continued to appear regularly in New York, except in the war years, until 1959. Björling was regarded as the foremost Italiansounding tenor of his day in the spinto rôles of Puccini and Verdi, and he also excelled in French opera. His work was highly respected for its high artistic qualities, even if his acting ability was somewhat stilted and stiff. He recorded extensively from the mid-1930s until his early death in 1960. His poor health in later years was caused by heart problems.

This is an amazing collection of recordings with the best tenor ever. (My opinion).

Extended info for each disc can be found in each volumes folder as a pdf file.

There's also extended info on each track regarding composer, lyricist(s), orchestra, conductor, recording date and producer and audio restoration engineer. (One strange thing is that the recording dates can differ one-two days depending on information source.)
But the recordings are here and that really what matters.
