El más bello timbre de tenor lírico que haya existido Luciano Pavarotti. RIP Maestro!!!

They were my most beloved singing couple when I was younger. Today Luciano is my dearest memory. I Puritani is one of my favourite operas. Thanks for sharing !!

Prima di scrivere che Pavarotti canta quest'aria un semitono sotto faresti bene ad accordare le tue orecchie presso un buon accordatore. Per quanto riguarda la voce di Kraus rispetto a quella di Pavarotti è come paragonare una barchetta a vela ad una portaerei. A questo riguardo, in teatro, il confronto era impietoso. Alla Scala i loggionisti a Kraus avevano affibbiato l'epiteto di "zanzara". Da come ti esprimi non credo che tu li abbia ascoltati dal vivo. Io ho apprezzato ed apprezzo tutt'ora Kraus per la sua linea di canto, per la lunghezza della sua piccola voce, per il legato e per il senso dell'interpretazione ma se il focus della discussione sono la qualità e la forza vocale, quando leggo un commento come il tuo insorgo.

Luciano ou la perfection faite homme ! Bravo aussi à Joan Sutherland!

Incomparabile voce Donizzettiana!

Voce splendida e dizione perfetta

No olvidemos que fue Joan, quien buscó a Luciano, para que le acompañe en diversas óperas, porque ella necesitaba un buen cantante tan alto de estatura como ella🤗 ella le dio la oportunidad en muchos momentos. Y Luciano lo reconoce y agradece.. él afirmó más de una vez, que no ha encontrado mejor técnica en Soprano alguna que Joan, y que él ha aprendido mucho de ella. Considero que es la pareja de cantantes líricos más importantes del siglo .

This is a throw back to the real-deal. I can only guess that S and P -etc, are the closest we can imagine to the original. Thank-God it is recorded. May they sing for ever in heaven. I cannot help but have tears> Maestro di Coro -Indpls Opera.

Pavarotti was the best tenor ever!

This was certainly magnificent stuff with the great man at his best, when Grand Opera was really Grand Ooera,,fantastic

Una esecuzione bellissima. Andrebbe fatta ascoltare a tutti i giovani musicisti per apprendere l'importanza del legato e della tensione emotiva nell'esecuzione dei brani musicali

Bella voce!

I purchased both cd & video on ebay several yrs. ago. Check Pioneer 'GOLD EDITION' Plus DECCA LONDON. The two greatest duo in all MUSIC. Listen to PAVS' LEGATTO AND LA DIVA'S HIGH TRILL AT END. She stated although never having difficulty reaching that note she always felt easier when singing with LUCIANO. BRAVO MOORHE

The best of the best!

Oh God ,only 66 k views of this magnificent aria,where is the world going.It should be compulsory subject at schools.

May 2016.... Just wondering , Luciano Pavarotti gave do many outstanding performances at the MET, Why has there not been anything honoring this great and wonderful man?? Shameful I would say!!

Well, the Met broadcast this performance occasionally and that's how I picked up my copy. However, the Metropolitan opera recently launched the 'Met Player' which is a service that offers a selection of broadcasts from past performances on the Met's stage. This performance is among the selection and you can have a listen to it that way. The quality is much better than this one. No video of this performance has ever been broadcast and I don't think it was visually recorded unfortunately.

What a beautiful melody! And they sang beautifully together!

sensational is right, just thrilling, you cant help but be amazed at the voice, and the things he encourages it to do. WOW

Simplesmente magistral essa performance!

Luciano è uno dei pochi tenori che non sistema gli acuti nel naso bensì sono sempre rotondi e pieni, con gola aperta e appoggio del fiato perfetti. In più ha dei pianissimi stupendi che galleggiano nell'aria. Grande che io paragono all'immenso Tito Schipa, non lo supera ma ha lo stesso modo di sostenere il canto.

@Mooorhe And, as you probably know if you've read Schuyler G. Chapin's MUSICAL STAGES, it almost didn't happen then. Chapin, not knowing that Sutherland and Bonynge had been fighting with Mr. Bing for a PURITANI production for years, offered the opera to Beverly Sills for her Met debut. At which point Sutherland and Bonynge threatened to withdraw from their current and future Met commitments if that came to pass. Well, fortunately this production got done, and this really IS great!!! TYVM!

I don't know if I was at this particular one I was at the prima for the production I laugh at the comments that he was too old to sing it-this is vintage Pav-the 70's were the great yrs.for this repertoire-if his voice sounds a bit smaller that's not the case just consider who he's singing next to Florez is an elegant singer stylistically faultless in this kind of music but his voice is about half the size of Pavsand its tone not as succulent -for size, beauty and taste Pav was beyond compare

Heard a little 'gulp' around 1:23 but that was the only little mistake in it, he was in very good voice that evening. All the C#'s in this performance you posted are as perfect as they can possibly get.

Grazie!

He was very hesitant. He committed to do this opera with Sutherland and Bonynge, with the new production, around 1972-3, when he sang Arturo with no problems at all. Three years later he'd sung his first Manrico and Rodolfo (Luisa Miller) and didn't have the same command of the higher passages and extreme high notes.

Of course, Pavrotti's version with Sutherland is 'brilliant vocal production'. But I also like the more 'intimate' rendition of Jesus Leon with a smaller orchestra without soprano and choir accompaniment.

Christina Rivera as far as I know there is no DVD from this opera. However, there is a DECCA cd recording from 1973 for I Puritani with a fantastic quartet, Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti, Piero Cappucilli and Nicolai Ghiaurov. Many critics consider the best recording of this opera. You may buy it at Amazon, I bought my several years ago at Amazon.uk. Hope this helps.

His voice is substantially more weighty than earlier renditions still sings it well though!

Both sound great in this performance. My only problem is the rhythm - Pavarotti takes to many liberties for my personal taste. And the microphones seem to be a little overdriven.

Sorry folks, forgot to give you the link to the version of Jesus Leon which I like. Here it is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g32nrMmmhcmrcqw.html

He oido mucho a Pavarotti y lo cierto es que muchas de sus actuaciones se salvan por su voz pero suele fallar algo, el director en algunos casos los compañeros en otras.... Quizá es que yo soy muy exigente pero siendo fan de pavarotti cuando lo oigo espero siempre la perfección y a veces siento que falta algo. Cuando algún cantante acorta una nota, la baja, se salta palabras o frases etc me siento decepcionado. Hay un tenor que me parece perfecto, Fritz Wunderlich, aunque soy de Luciano.
