Bjorling was the tenor I fell in love with at 9 and he is and always will be a force to be reckoned with always in the top 10 for eternity Villazon I loved from the very beginning his passion and vibrancy are remarkable depending on repertoire I can love equally Why ? Simple they both can give me goosebumps
Bjorling! He has clear, pure voice. He has the technique no tenor nowadays possesses. His diction even better than Italians. What a gift from heaven!❤️❤️❤️
It is not possible to compare anyone to Jussi Bjorling. He is clearly in a class by himself. His vocal talent and mastery of technique was absolutely incomparable. To listen to him is to know true perfection.
Bjorling is the king of tenors. Just as Callas is the queen of sopranos. How I would have loved to have been in Chicago when they sang Il Trovatore together. Unfortunately, it wasn't recorded. Someone forgot to turn on the recording machine.
In1955 at the Lyrique Theatre, Chicago, I believe, the king and the queen in Il Trovatore- is there no hope to find a record of this marvellous event ?
I don't know why everyone gives Villazon such a hard time. Yes he's had some vocal troubles as he's gotten older, but I think he sounds fantastic here. You can't really compare these two singers because they're very different. I think they both do a wonderful job with this beautiful song.
I've always admired Villazon's courage and I think he does a beautiful interpretation of this song. Bjorling is more solemn and is very beautiful with his elegant voice and impeccable vocal line.
Bjoerling’s approach to this beautiful song has thrilled me ever since I heard his recording done at Carnegie Hall in the 1950s. This recording, made much earlier in his career, is absolutely wonderful, as well. Villazon’s performance is good, but, to this listener, not as moving. I also enjoy listening to the recording made by DiStefano very early in his career, even though he does not sing the high “A” near the end of the song.
Que grande interpretación sobre una de las partituras más maravillosas, dificiles y hermosas de Paolo Tosti, además, me enorgullece inmensa y gratamente que el Tenor Villazon sea MEXICANO. ¡¡¡Bravo Villazon!!!
Ruined since ages...because he never learned how to develop real operatic voice. He is actualy POP singer.Take him away the microphon and you'll hear. Nothing much.
Hermosisima obra del compositor italiano Paolo Tosti. Esta melodía inigualable fue interpretada la velada anterior al combate naval de Iquique por un oficial de la Esmeralda. La musica en esa ocasión fue ejecutada en violin.
Considero um erro colocar um paralelo comparativo entre dos grandes profesionales tenores de tipo de voz diferentes e interpretación deferentes, cada un con su estilo.
Bless you Bjorling nobody ever sung it so well, with your magnificent raw great natural voice none better Including of course later moderns with their acoustic nonsense
La bellezza del canto di Bjorljng,non ha confronti,se non con i veri fuoriclasse tipo Caruso Gigli ecc...Villanzon è un tenore senza lode e senza infamia...grazie
Villazon dal vivo senza l'aiuto del microfono aveva una voce poco bella. Björling e semplicemente Meraviglioso! il primo era un entusiasta simpatico. il secondo era un fenomeno. nessun confronto possibile. Sublime Björling Grazie !
Bodiloto. O comme avvete raggione. J'apprécie toujours vos commentaires bien que severes quelques fois mais souvent justifies. J'ai 77 ans et j 'ai entendu beaucoup de chanteurs , surtout ceux que vous nommez en Italie i grandi del passato.Difficile alors d'apprecier certains interprètes d'aujoud'hui. Pero bisogna che la lirica se perpetua. Respetuose salutatione.
Je suis tout à fait d'accord. Villazon me parait intéressant nella mezza voce, mais je remarque que lorsqu'il chante certains airs d'opéra il baisse d'un demi ton et plus les notes aiguës. Al mio parere , ma forse sono diventato un po sordo ....con gli anni.....
bjorling is so far superior as to not need any comment. yet i will say that singers will instantly understand the difference that eludes the casual listener.
Io ti seguii come'iride di pace Lungo le vie del cielo Io ti seguii come un'amica face De la notte nel velo E ti senti ne la luce, ne l'aria Nel profumo dei fiori E fu piena la stanza solitaria di te Dei tuoi splendori In te rapito Al suon de la tua voce Lungamente sognai E de la terra ogni affanno, ogni croce In quel giorno scordai Torna, caro ideal Torna un istante A sorridermi ancora E a me risplenderà nel tuo sembiante Una novell'aurora Una novell'aurra
…JB is incomparable. Villazon was as good as he could get. A comparison to Björling is not possible as it is useless. As Pavarotti answered,when asked about Jussi Björling, „ I am only human…“ All in one brief sentence. With his perfect vocal line from bottom to the top, there was only Fritz Wunderlich. And Wunderlich is incomparable too.
Both beautiful but hard to compare the two voice qualities as they are so different. The first time I heard this piece it was sung by Tito Gobi so if you want to hear a baritone rendition of it, his is the one to go for.
Mickey Mouse, It seems that you and I are not listening to the same singer. Ever hear an opera singer sing a pop song? Villazon’s versatility allows him to credibly sing a pop song AND sing an operatic aria just as credibly! Will you say that he did not sing that with great beauty? I will defer to your superior knowledge: I’ll just enjoy his singing as it is presented.
I thought this was a fine performance by Villazon, without his usual histrionics and inattention to tempo and gave him a high score, but then the old master's perfection pushed him quietly aside. It was a great tragedy that Bjoerling couldn't put the bottle down until it killed him with heart failure at the tender age of 49....
Have you read Anna-Lisa Bjorling and Andrew Farkas book “Jussi” if no please do. I had an Uncle who as an Alcoholic he died when he was 50. From the age of 20 he was drinking on most days, with marathon bouts that lasted for example from a Friday through to a Tuesday. He would consume many pints of lager, cider and bottles of Whisky and Vodka. He was a wealthy man and a Director of the Family business which I now own. My brothers and I looked through his Bank Statements and it was unbelievable how much alcohol he purchased from Supermarkets and other shops. Comparing him with Jussi and you can see that Jussi hardly had a drink problem compared to my Uncle. Jussi died from a Heart Attack I’ve not read anywhere that this Heart Attack was directly linked to his drink problem. His family has never made it known if he had Liver problems brought on by drink. Today I would doubt he would be labelled an “Alcoholic” they crave drink everyday of their lives from morning to night.
@@richarddavies7555 Even Jussis brothers died young, and the did not have alcohol problems, they all seemed to have weak hearts(heart failure, which could have been treated today)- but of course it was bad that Jussi also had his own problems with the alcohol.
Wonderful by Villazon. The only downside is really that he looks like Mr Bean. In a way, you could say that Björling lived at the wrong time. The sound quality today is completely superior. On the other hand, Björling was in the right age to the extent that it was the golden era of tenors. During this era he was the leading tenor.
Villazon has or had a fine instrument & from what I have seen was a more skilled actor, in comic roles like Nemorino but is no match for Björling in beauty of timbre, musicality, or stylistic distinction. This selection here shows why.
These two singers are quite different. Let me give you a rule of thumb. There is approximately one great tenor for every billion people on earth. When Bjorling was alive there were only about two and a half billion people - and there were about two and half great tenors. Now there are seven billion people but most of the great tenors today are orientals and unknown in most western opera houses. The same math applies to other rare occupations like theoretical physicists. Both Villazon and Bjorling had health problems. Villazon had a congenital growth in his vocal mechanism that shortened his career. Bjorling had a bad heart and died young. Carreras had health problems too but Pavarotti and Domingo both sang well into their late seventies. Modern health care could have saved Bjorling and Caruso. With his technique Bjorling cold have dominated the opera stage until he was ninety. Bjorling had an extremely pure silver voice. Some called it a 'choir boy' sound. But he also had a blazing top which can be heard here to good effect. But Bjorling was never much of an actor and not very emotionally available on stage. Villazon is exactly the opposite. He displays everything he feels - and he feels a lot. Both were fine musicians and excellent interpreters with good instincts for style and idiom. But Bjorling was much more reserved and Villazon almost goes out of control in many pieces when he gets excited. But Villazon is a superb Mozart singer and very well schooled in almost every genre of music. Both are better than Pavarotti in almost every way.
1. "Pavarotti and Domingo both sang well into their late seventies". The Pavarotti we knew died at the age of 72.... 2. "most of the great tenors today are orientals" If they were, we would have heard of them as they would have been invited to sing at the big opera houses such as Covent Garden, MET etc. and had everyone blown away, according to your statement. 3. "Both are better than Pavarotti in almost every way." The most obvious way was/is that both had/have better weight control....other than that it is all in the ears of a listener but to say that about the leading tenor of the 70s-90s without putting undenieable facts on the table is a bit disrespectful. Neither of them had a comparable career.
You are not stupid. Villazon sings this beautifully. But it is not fair to pitch him against Jussi Bjorling who is the definitive reference for for all tenors.
I am a Jussi fan, but here I think he is either intoxicated or didn't get enough sleep. He is pulling all the attention onto his glorious voice - "just listen, folks, how GREAT my voice is" instead of actually feeling what he is singing. Villazón is singing his heart even if his voice may not match that of Björling, he is in my opinion much more compelling.
You are no "Jussi fan"; I've followed you many times and found out you were more inclined to criticise Björling; I would say you're rather envious on Björling.
Was soll das. Amateur? Herr Villazon mußte an den Stimmbändern operiert werden, und dieses Konzert erfolgte nach der Operation. Damals bestand die Hoffnung, daß die Stimme sich wieder erholt. Es ist tragisch. In so jungen Jahre. Er galt als einer der weltbesten Tenöre ...... Jetzt arbeitet er als Opernregisseur und ist seit Jahren künstlerischer Leiter der Mozartfestspiele in Salzburg. Aber seine Stimme und sein schauspielerisches Talent von damals sind unvergessen. Also bitte keine Belleidigung ohne Hintergrundwissen!
@@gieselahorig3771 it is obvious that you have no idea of what you're talking about. What a dumb comment. Rolando Villazon had an amazing voice and a horrible technique, that's why his career ended soon and that's why he can't be compared with one of the greatests. If you had ears you would realize that
Lanza?? una estupenda voz pero una técnica muy pobre, fraseo terrible, dicción fatal y el italiano lo destrozaba, una voz grande y bonita con un amplio registro vocal pero carecía de una buena técnica, precisamente por eso nunca en su vida cantó una Ópera en algún teatro del mundo. Era un tenor muy mediatico y sobrevalorado por la prensa americana, sí, me gusta, pero no se puede comparar con Mario del Monaco, Franco Corelli, Hipolito Lázaro, Gigli, etc, etc, etc,.

is not mezza voce is nosound....
jose carreras version is very special
Each has their merits...I think both are lovely. Villazon, more powerful. Bjorling is like an Angel singing, softly and ethereal.
Se ascoltiamo l'inizio della romanza di entrambi capiamo subito la differenza che c'è tra un cantante normale e un fuoriclasse...

Villazon è un tenorino leggero sponsorizzato da Domingo distante anni luce dalla voce e tecnica di Jussi Bjorling.

Io ti seguii come'iride di pace
Lungo le vie del cielo
Io ti seguii come un'amica face
De la notte nel velo
E ti senti ne la luce, ne l'aria
Nel profumo dei fiori
E fu piena la stanza solitaria di te
Dei tuoi splendori
In te rapito
Al suon de la tua voce
Lungamente sognai
E de la terra ogni affanno, ogni croce
In quel giorno scordai
Torna, caro ideal
Torna un istante
A sorridermi ancora
E a me risplenderà nel tuo sembiante
Una novell'aurora
Una novell'aurra

1 Björling = 100 Villazón

These two singers are quite different. Let me give you a rule of thumb. There is approximately one great tenor for every billion people on earth.
