Jussi Bjoerling was one of the most important tenors of the 20th century. With Caruso, and Beniamino Gigli he ranks as one of the most influential tenors of his time.
As a child he sang with his family's quartet, and some recordings of him as a child reveal a robust and well-registered voice.
He had a major international career and sang at the Metropolitan Opera throughout the 40s and 50s. He possessed a voice of rare warmth and sweetness, which he used with matchless style and technique and with impeccable good taste. He was married to the soprano Anna-Lisa Berg.
