Jussi’s live performances on CD:
Abstract
We are very fortunate that a very large number of Jussi Björling`s live recordings have been issued on cd. We have every reason to be grateful for every single recording which has been made available to us. The people to thank for this are of course mainly those behind the Jussi Björling societies and in particular those behind the Bluebell JB series. Two men need to be mentioned here, Frank Hedman and Harald Henrysson. What treasures they have given us through that Swedish label, and almost everything from original tapes and in superb sound. Also it deserves to be mentioned that JBS members were behind the indispensable 4 cd set on WHRA containing a large number of Jussi’s American radio broadcasts from 1937-1951 in great sound: “Jussi Björling LIVE.” A must-have for every lover of Jussi Björling`s art.
