Album Description
Swedish opera star Jussi Björling (1911-1960) was essentially a lyric tenor with the added ability to sing dramatic roles, which enabled him to excel in almost the whole of the Italian and French operatic repertoire. Björling recorded exclusively for EMI from the beginning of his career for more than a decade, and this 5-CD set includes the best of his solo recordings, as well as highlights from three complete operas -- La Bohème, Pagliacci, and Madama Butterfly!
