This is gods own royal singer now. No one can come close to him. Period.

[dejpan]

My Grandfather told me that they used to go down to the beach and listen to jussi who lived on the other side of the bay. On summer nights jussi had a little bit to drink and often sang out in the night. My grandfather told me it was magical. I can only imagine

[vidarsmestad]

As a norwegian, this is the ultimate christmas carol. There's no way to celebrate christmas without this song. Incredible voice.

[Plicywonk]

Another thing to add. He did this live. Not in a recording studio, no retakes, just completely nails it. Incredible

[thomasjendestrom]

Jussi Björling. Mannen med rösten. Jag får gåshud utav att lyssna på honom. Och jag är verkligen inget fan av opera egentligen. Men Jussi spelas då håller man käften och lyssnar. Tyvärr dog han för tidigt. Njut av Jussi Björlings röst för evigt. En sådan röst kommer aldrig att komma igen

[elvianel]

I come from the same city as Jussi Björling, Borlänge, and on the square named after him stands his statue, and every day at noon they play one of his songs on speakers for everyone to listen to! :)

[marcusrobertsson]

I'm sitting here in the middle of the night in northern Sweden, it's a massive snow storm outside and I'm listening to Jussis voice giving me chills up my spine. <3

[incamoran]

I'm not Swedish but in my view this is the most perfect performance of anything, ever.

[slotty]

I am hearing him for the first time on the tinny loud speaker of my phone and good lord 😳 time to go find an original recording

“When I'm learning a new opera roll, I first listen to how Jussi Björling sang it. His voice was unique. I wish more than anything that people compare me with Jussi.” -Luciano Pavarotti

[janpettermathisen]

As a Norwegian it hurts to admit the Swedes with their Jussi, has the best Christmas song ever! I bow. And you thrill me over and over with your reactions. Thanks!

[chrismarnoch]

My wife and I are swedish. We listen to this every christmas morning. Brings tears to my eyes almost every time I hear this.

[mavenfrankeus]

As a Swede I am happy that Jussi's greatness is not forgotten.

[elsakopp]

I’m the same age as his daughter and we were confirmed in the Engelbrekt Church in Stockholm. During the service Jussi sang several times and it was magical.
The church holds approximately 2000 people and it was packed. Outside were another at least the the same amount and the huge doors were wide open. He was a great man and the Swedes loved him tremendously. Ann Charlotte lost her father at the same time as I lost my own father so that made us close. Sadly since I left for Australia we lost contact.

[cccpike]

This particular version has a special place in Finland, despite the Swedish language. There has been a tradition on Finnish radio to play this at the end of a Christmas song concert every year. The host of said program was said to always stand up to listen to this.

For me, Christmas does not begin without hearing this song.

[marinamossey]

I'm from Sweden but have lived in the UK for almost 20 years now. At Christmas when I've heard O Holy Night sung at Carol concerts, I always found them insipid, although it used to be my favourite carol back home. I've just realised that I have always had Jussi's version at the back of my head and in comparison nothing comes remotely near the great voice of Björling!

[Kasino]

There's something about the Swedish version that just hits on a whole other level.

[culturequestwithiangrant]

I'll preface this by saying my wife is one of Jussi’s grandchildren. I have been subscribed to your channel for a little while now (my gateway into it was your reaction to Disturbed, Sound of Silence) and I said to my wife just a couple weeks ago, wouldn’t it be great if she did one on Jussi? So it was great to see this pop up. And of course Oh Holy Night is a big deal in the family. We celebrate Christmas Eve every year with my wife’s father, one of Jussi’s kids, and the rest of the family - as we did just last week. So my wife went to visit him again today with this link in hand (so to speak), and they watched it together. He absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for doing this!

[antivanti]

I'm the farthest from religious but when Jussi sings "folk fall nu neder" I'm inclined to fall to my knees in awe 😊

[joaquin_nord]

Last season my spanish born children told me "It's not christmas until jussi sings!".. my work is done.. and grandad is smiling from heaven!
