- Title: Request Night
American Debut of Jussi Björling
Broadcast over WJZ and the NBC Blue Network.
Entered from New York Times concert listing and information contained in "Jussi" by Anna-Lisa Björling and Andrew Farkas. Additionally, "A Jussi Björling Phonography" by Harald Henrysson, curator of the Jussi Björling Museum in Borlänge, Sweden, provided details; however, it differs slightly from the announced program listed in the New York Times. Henrysson lists the Mascagni duet selection as "Bada, Santuzza," while the Times lists "Tu qui, Santuzza." Since "Jussi" and Henrysson both list additional selections not named by the Times, those have been entered here. The biography notes that the Cavalleria Rusticana duet was "bilingual," with Jeritza singing in Italian and Björling singing in Swedish. The correct sequence of the extra Björling selections is not known.
