He used his voice as masterly as Kreisler used his violin and Casals his cello. During my fifty years with music I have never heard anything so wonderful - that endless beauty of tone, his ability to modulate and phrase. “ - by Nils Grevillius. • Photograph was Jussi at the rehearsal on 5th August with GSO. • Transfe
