Description
Bjorling in Concert
Including: Pearl Fisher’s and other duets
Catalogue Number: ALC 1007
“Bjorling was sadly underused as a concert singer; recordings of renowned recitals such as that here offer glimpses of his musicianship even in unfamiliar territory…included(also) are extracts taken from his two most successful complete opera recordings: Manon Lescaut and II Trovatore, as well as his famous Pearl Fisher’s Duet: after many decades they are still considered benchmark performances.”
