[quote=Anonymous]Not sure how much interest there will be but here are some great tenors singing Puccini's "Nessun Dorma".

My favorite tenor without a doubt is Jussi Bjorling -the great Swedish tenor - who incidentally was someone that Pavorotti viewed as the ultimate tenor. Pavorotti when he was compared to Bjorling,  remarked that a Pavorotti comes every decade or so but a Bjorling appears only every 100 years. On another occasion when the comparison was made, he said "don't compare me to Bjorling, I am only human."

Caruso's widow said of Bjorling that he was the closest that any tenor came in relation to her husband.

Only Domingo is still alive.

Finally, here is a Bjorling singing Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers" duet with Robert Merrill - the finest rendition that I have heard:
