Lloyd asked:
You mentioned that Bj=F6rling transposed arias. I am most interested. >Can you tell me what arias he transposed and on which recording I could >find them?
Lloyd, there is an excellent biography out on Jussi's life, written by his=
wife (although I cannot remember her name). It is fairly new, 1997 or so...and speaks of these instances of transposition. As I recall he did n= ot do this very often, but it was always for a good reason when it happened.
Hope this helps.
