Why Bjorling is referred to as the greatest non-Italian lyric tenor of all time.
Live in the famous 1 February 1947 Met broadcast with Bidu Sayão. My favorite Romeo.
The 35 year old Bjorling is nearing the end of his prime but these I believe were some of his best years.
The high C at the end he holds for 9 seconds!
