Lars Björling- Art of Singing
Lars Bjorling writes of his new tribute release: "When my Father Jussi was chosen as the 20th century's leading male opera singer by English music critics at the turn of the century, we felt great joy and pride in the family. From my very early age I experienced singing and music at home, but most of all, I remember visiting the Opera house when Father sang. A strong memory was La boheme. I tried to hide my tears trickling down the cheek in the last act. Already at the age of four to five, my Father and his brothers began to learn the essentials of the art of singing under my grandfather David's solid guidance." Utilizing David Bjorling's singing technique, Lars brilliantly presents here a wide array of opera works and art songs.
