This disc is essential for Jussi Bjoerling fans–doesn’t that include almost everyone?–and for anyone who wants a distinctive sampling from recorded opera’s most eloquent age. Best are Bjoerling’s duets with baritone Robert Merrill–especially the classic “Au fond du temple saint” from The Pearl Fishers–and the scene with Renata Tebaldi, “Signore, ascolta; non piangere, Liu,” from Turandot. Although the sound is variable–and sometimes disappointingly, annoyingly glitch-ridden in these recordings made between 1950 and 1959–the voice, the style, and the passion of the inimitable Bjoerling more than make up for it. –David Vernier
