Jussi Bjorling - Nessun Dorma... Is he the greatest ever?

Jussi Bjorling, the late great tenor:



Is he the greatest ever?

I think so.

Compare that to this:

Pavarotti, the best of this generation:

Bjorling was better, there was more to it than Pavarotti

Pavarotti's is better in my opinion

Jussi in La Donna e mobile, perhaps his signature performance:
