ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The international Jussi Björling Tenor
Competition attracted 125 tenors from 38
countries, whose recordings were judged
by a jury. 15 tenors were invited to come to
Borlänge and sing in the semi-final, and five
of them made it to the final in the Kupolen
arena on Sunday 23 October. The Chinese
Deng Xiao-Jun was declared winner, with
the Welshman Gwyn Hughes Jones as
runner-up. From an artistic standpoint, the
competition could be regarded as successful,
but it left a large financial deficit. It proved
difficult to get the sponsors the arrangers
had hoped for, and after a few years, plans to
repeat the competition were finally shelved.
