At last, some REAL Bjorling rarities!.......2000-12-26

This collection was put together by Cantor Don Goldberg, probably the foremost Bjorling authority in the United States - and I say `probably' only because Jussi's son Anders lives in Minnesota. In addition to presumably providing the original recordings, he has also written some excellent and perceptive notes on Bjorling's career as a recitalist and radio artist, which actually took up much more of Bjorling's time than his work on the opera stage.

Of the 21 selections on this CD, 5 have never been released in any form, an additional 9 have never been released on CD to the best of my knowledge, and all but one of the rest of the offerings are on CDs that are now out of print. This `not really rare' selection is a `Flower Song' that also appears on the Bluebell CD `Jussi Bjorling Live in Holland and Norway'. All these tracks are originally from radio broadcasts, mostly from the Bell Telephone Hour and the Voice of Firestone. The operatic selections are familiar (i.e `Nessun Dorma', and arias from Manon, Carmen, etc), although occasionally in unfamiliar form, such as a Swedish language `Salut, demeure', and the songs tend to be those `chestnuts' well liked by American radio audiences of the time, such as `A Dream' by James Caroll Bartlett, and `The Rose of Tralee'. He throws in a few Italian songs as well, such as `Funiculi Funicula' and `La Danza', although the last is sung in Swedish as well.

Of course, the singing is uniformly marvelous. Few would deny that Bjorling was, if not the greatest tenor of the twentieth century, at least in the top 5, and I, of course, would put him at number 1. Some highlights are `Nessun Dorma' sung by someone who actually understands that it's not a soccer anthem but the dreamy rapture of a man in love, a gorgeous rendition of `The Rose of Tralee' with superb feeling and legato, his marvelous English diction and facility with runs in `Clorinda', a superb `La Reve' from Manon, and, no great surprise from this master of Gounod's Romeo et Juliette and Faust, a deeply moving `O Divine Redeemer' by the same composer. There is a marvelous moment in the aforementioned `Funiculi Funicula' while the chorus is singing the words where he sings 4 notes ascending the scale of such beauty and power it makes one shiver. He also has marvelous soprano partners Grace Moore and Eleanor Steber in scenes from `Faust' and `Il Trovatore', and a very decent baritone partner, Donald Dickson, in a scene from `La Forza Del Destino', a pre-echo of the same duet recorded 12 years later with Robert Merrill.

Why, then, only 4 stars, or more accurately, 3 1/2? Either I have better sounding LP originals than Cantor Goldberg does, which I think is highly unlikely, or the remastering had some problems. Some of the selections, notably `Funiculi Funicula' and `O Divine Redeemer', simply do not sound as good as they do on my LPs. It is possible this is due to my hearing the LPs and this CD on different systems, and also I have not listened to the LPs in some time and may be remembering incorrectly. In general, I get the impression that the process used was something similar to the Ambisonic Process used by Nimbus Records - both give Bjorling a faraway sound, sometimes almost like he is underwater. One thing I think was a very bad idea was that in virtually every case applause was cut off, making the ends of songs seem very abrupt and in some cases taking away from the impact of Bjorling's final (occasionally high) notes. To be even more picky, I think I would have also preferred the French language Gounod `Sanctus' he sang on the same broadcast as `O divine redeemer', because I don't think it's a terribly good English translation and it sounds better in Latin anyway. Still, I understand that Cantor Goldberg wanted to give us the rarest items possible.

Though Jussi Bjorling impresses under almost any circumstances, I think this is a CD less for people who are comparatively new to his voice than for committed collectors, for whom this disc will be essential. And of course, I hope for Volume II and III and IV, or even more, even if they might need to change engineers. There's still quite a few more Bjorling rarities out there...

WRONG ITEM.......2002-08-01

Fast........2001-06-29

This is a "radical, off-the-wall" rendering, rather than a traditionalist one. No amount of technique can cover up for that fact. And the reality is it is not even very musical. Listen to the divinity of the Menuhin/Furtwangler recording, or that of Kreisler, or even, much more recently, Hilary Hahn's, and one easily sees that Heifetz is way off base. Yes, I admire his technique, greatly, but it is technique used for no discernible or serviceable purpose. It is a waste of talent, or not worth listening to more than once.

1. BEETHOVEN Concerto in D. The old Victor 78 set (which sounded harsh and tinny) had a large diamond on the cover, and this reissue is indeed a gemstone, since its sound quality has been immeasurably improved! But the interpretation is one of the more severe and emotionally detached on records. I understand that 2 years ago, Seth Winner, the Toscanini archivist, discovered alternate takes of the first movement that may well be slower and more expressive than the approved sides used for this recording: watch the skies for them! Until then, be sure to acquire this set and not a cheezy bootleg fake-stereo from an unofficial source. I found this transfer, in a careful A-B comparison, to be identical to that contained in Vol 41 of the Toscanini Collection on RCA / BMG.

I must note that Josef Krips played the concerto once with Heifetz, and came backstage afterwards in a state of awe and astonishment. "He played EVERY NOTE...every single one!" said the amazed conductor, who was used to the usual violinistic tactic of skittering around in the fast passagework to cover up uneven playing. Here, too, every note is played -- honestly and with perfect judgment for values and dynamics -- and it is a glorious experience.

2. BRAHMS Double Concerto. Heifetz and Feuermann are of one mind in this classic and highly controlled interpretation, the antithesis of the heart-on-sleeve Walter / Francescatti Sony CD recording from 1959. Yet Ormandy and his Philadelphians are a shade stolid compared to other versions with Toscanini, Reiner, Fricsay, or Furtwaengler.

3. WALTON: Violin Concerto. This 1942 premiere recording of the great concerto commissioned by Heifetz features the Cincinnati Symphony led by the esteemed and highly- talented British conductor Eugene Goossens. This excellent- sounding record has always been my all-time FAVORITE version of the piece, dating back to my own copy on 78s. It surpasses Heifetz' 1950 remake, and just about every other of the dozens of alternative interpretations I have audited.

4. CHAUSSON: Concerto. This chamber work is a unique item in the repertoire, and has been recorded many times in memorable versions. The Heifetz sounds clear and clean, but is typical of his small ensemble performances: a bit fleet and unfeeling, sailing along with surface perfection in place, but lacking in more reflective qualities. Yet this was a phonographic classic, and has been well transferred in this all- mono honest restoration.
