Coming Soon Jussi Bjorling.






Jussi Bjorling in a completely remastered version of the Atlanta concert. The various releases of this concert (the only one in stereo from the great man) have had variable sound. One release was actually in mono.....bit of a drawback for a stereo concert. Anyway this version is in wonderful sound bringing the foggy and distant Jussi back in the room so to speak. He is on wonderful voice too! Coming soon............

The Student Prince 1959





This is The 1959 recording of The Student Prince by Mario Lanza.
It is very different from the soundtrack recording of the film recorded
in 1953. The youthful fresh voice of the early 50s has by now given way
to a more powerful and dramatic tenor voice. This voice has lost much of
its young romantic lyrical flavour, but in its place there is a drama and intensity that only a large operatic voice can provide. There are still touching moments in the "Summertime in Heidelberg" but the "I'll Walk With God" and "Serenade" are sung with endless conviction.

Now in the correct pitch and remastered, the Lanza voice has returned.
The LP released in 1959 was in very poor sound and a semitone down in pitch. This I believe is the first time many will have heard Lanza singing these songs as they were actually sung in the studio. Have a listen and compare them to the LP if you have it.................it is quite a revelation. See link below:

Mario Lanza Vol One




These recordings have been remastered using the Rosetta Remastering System. The quality speaks for itself. They are only in Mp3 but will provide an .rar version and also a lossless flac all being well. Enjoy. volume 2 coming soon. The Lanza voice spawned so many operatic careers with its animal magnetism and incredible freedom of expression. Enjoy.
