Spelar Jussi Björling i köket och barnen kommer för att fråga va de är för skit jag lyssnar på.
Kanske de ska åka till sin mamma redan idag, och aldrig komma tillbaka.

Om barnen i Butja. Viktigt reportage i en tid av krigsromantisk retorik.
Av Sanna Torén Björling och Lotta Hördelin. https://www.dn.se/varlden/barnen-i-butja-lever-med-minnena-av-den-ryska-ockupationen/
Barnen i Butja lever med minnena av den ryska ockupationen
BUTJA. Anastasia, 14, sitter i ett rum och pratar med två följeslagare som bara hon ser. Hon lider av ångest och oro efter fyra års krig. Massakern i byn norr om Kiev skakade världen. För många barn har livet aldrig blivit sig likt.

I will forever love that Kevin's outfit has the same vibe as the Swedish kids book story "Pettson and Findus"

See alt text for more info
An artwork of the children's book story Pettson and Findus, by Sven Nordqvist. Illustrated by the author. Illustration shows an older man in a big yellow/orange hat, brown vest, and blue coveralls; sitting at a rickety white wooden table eating a pancake cake. We do not see his pupils in the glasses he wears. Around him flies small yellow birds. On the table sits Findus, a tabby cat in a set of green clown pants. Findus is capable of speech and other human emotions + reactions. On a separate chair sits an ancient gramophone. It is playing "Till Havs" by Jussi Björling, which is known from the animated series. Around the gramophone 3 chickens watch 2 small creatures called Murklor do a little dance to the song. The background shows a traditional Swedish cottage. Red base, white corners. Made of wood. One wall is fully overgrown by sunflowers.

Victoria de los Ángeles died #OnThisDay in 2005; she recorded one of the greatest recordings of Giacomo Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" with Jussi Björling; here they are singing the great love duet "Bimba dagli occhi":

What is on your listening list for this week? What comes to mind? My goodness. Maybe I would love to listen to some opera arias sung by some wonderful tenors. I'm a great fan of the tenor and soprano voices. I'm a fan of singers so perhaps an aria from Don Giovanni, or an aria by Puccini or Verdi, and of course from Pavarotti, Björling or Corelli. I love to listen to spirituals from Marian Anderson. There's an album by her with the wonderful viola player, William Primrose. They made a recording of a couple of Brahms songs which are absolutely phenomenal. I would love to listen to that—I always listen to that album because I love it. Plus there are some terrific recordings that Bernstein boy made.

Going with voices rather than necessarily musical styles/genres. At least three hit every note and then held it - not always true of the others.

vinyl records are pretty amazing bits of tech. We have records that date from the beginning of LPs in the 1950s and they're still playable. Some sound a bit thin (the Jussi Björling at Carnegie Hall one) but others -- Sinatra big-band records and Blue Note jazz -- still sound amazingly lush and rich

I dag skulle världstenoren Gösta Winbergh fyllt 82 år. Jag har lyssnat till hans fantastiska röst i både opera- och konsertsammanhang.
Precis som Jussi Björling avled han alldeles för tidigt. Gösta dog 2002 endast 58 år ung.

Dit is er zo eentje. Au fond du temple saint met Merrill en Bjorling. Ik wacht al jaren op een moderne opname die dit evenaart. Nog geen geluk gehad.

Kovaa ja kuuluvasti Jussi Björling tietysti. Siinä on tyyliä ja toivoa.
Ja sen perintölinjaan kuuluva Elviksen If I can dream.

Hva er din O helga natt/O Holy Night favoritt etter Jussi Björling?

Oppdaget Eric Grönwall denne julen. En litt mer moderne og rocka versjon med stemme som er overraskende sterk. En ny nr. 2 for min del.

Jussi Björling er uvurderlig akkurat nå.

Kjøpte plata for fem svenska kronor for noen uker siden.

I'll have to wait until the cat gets off my lap, but yes, you're right. I'll probably put on the Björling / de los Ángeles.

Out of curiosity, where would you rank Jussi Björling among tenors?
(I don't know anything about opera, but his O Helga Natt (O Holy Night) is amazing.)

det blev en del psykologi under hösten som ytterligare förstärkte min kärlek till experter och yrkeskunniga som skriver om komplexa mänskliga fenomen på ett lättfattligt sätt. Den livsfarliga tystnaden och Störst bäst och skörast är båda exempel på det från årets utgivning. riktigt bra!
Anna Lagerblads och Ullakarin Nybergs Den livsfarliga tystnaden och männen som vågar bryta den. Utgiven av Natur & kultur. Ett blått omslag som bryts av av en tvärgående svart spricka. Störst, bäst och skörast: en bok om narcissism av Peder Björling och Niki Sundström. Utgiven på Natur & kultur. Ett rödorange omslag som pryds av svarta blommor (narcisser?).

Swedish singer Erik Grönvall singing one of the mightiest Christmas songs ever. Thought about Jussi Bjørling who did the best version ever, but he did it in Swedish. Maybe next time.
