Pavarotti raggiunge le vette più alte del belcanto! Nessuno lo raggiungerà mai!!! Lo adoro!❤

Come diceva il grande Celletti, Luciano Pavarotti è stato l'unico Arturo veramente credibile: fantastico!!

[@edejan]

The sheer beauty of his voice, of his tone and control is like opening your mind to another dimension of bliss. Who would ever need drugs to catch a "high" when they could just to Pavarotti. Truly the Maestro!

[@AurelioMoya]

Me quito el sombrero ante este Luciano!!!!

[@pavarotti744]

Pavarotti is moving, exciting, thrilling....his recordings from that Period: Rigoletto, La Traviata, I puritani, La sonnambula, La fille du regiment , La Boheme etc etc....have never been matched, he is amazing.

[@dmd88drvr]

At this age and stage of his career, his voice was gorgeous.

Pavarotti was the quintessential "Lyric" tenor that is why people frequently reference him when addressing the categorization of a person in the vocal category.

[@Milordvega]

3:10 Such a beautiful high C sharp from Pavarotti.

Love Pavarotti, but I also find Sills amazing!

I saw this with Sutherland and Luciano in the revival of the 70s, and he had even more "fiato" than this. At the end of the performance, there was an "éclat de tonnère" from the public that created a kind of roar, like a tornado, with screams of ecstasy. They were THAT good. That's why it used to be called "Grand Opera". Now it's just opera.

[@carlneptune1718]

Many times I've heard opera fans saying Pavarotti's voice was all power and technical perfection, without the emotional content of , say, Tito Schipa. Guess they must have missed hearing L.P. singing this aria.

[@sopranosd]

You want to see Pavarotti emote, watch the youtube of him in Pagliacci with ... Teresa Stratas?. He's utterly ferocious. You can also watch Domingo in the same role in the same production on youtbue. He's wonderful (of course, I mean, come on, he's DOMINGO), but Pavarotti really grabs me. I'd love to know what you think.

[@tristanhnl]

+sopranosd I COMPLETELY agree. I think you're referring to the Met performance in the early 90's. When I first saw it I was blown away by Pav's commitment to the character. It's the strongest acting I've seen from him, ever. He blew Domingo away that night, no doubts about it.

[@absdyna]

I guess Maestro Pavarotti was never a very physical actor, but with his voice? Certainly! His singing is always full of emotion!

Nadie podrá superar a Pavarotti en rol de Arturo en esta ópera ni antes ni después desde Di Estéfano ni Correlli ni Krauz ni Gedda ni su paisano y contemporáneo Fisichella ni en los modernos cantantes como Camarena mucho menos el tenor peruano Juan Diego Flores la pureza de la voz de Pavarotti aunado a su técnica perfecta serán insuperables en décadas el gran Divo hizo suyo este papel de la ópera de Bellini

Give a listen to Xavier Anduaga. He is right in the league of the artists you mentioned.

[@giovannimedini2091]

[@Spiritakis]

Heaven knows I am no fan of Lucciano, but when he does the right thing in his prime he is stupendous. Fabulous performance! Effortless and with absolutely stunning high notes, of course, and yet with that special lyricism so typical for Bellini and so often missed by many tenors. Thanks a lot for posting.

[@felipemartinez1275]

[@operabuff6760]

Absolutely fantastic! A few commentators have mentioned the "high D" here, but it's actually a high D flat. The high Ds come later in the opera in the duet "Vieni, fra queste braccia". Still, a fabulous note and sung with such sheen on the tone. With the possible exception of the man who created the role, Rubini, who would have sung it very differently, there has never been a greater Arturo than LP.

[@christopherbowen2547]

Amazing. Richard Strauss’ tenor aria in Rosenkavalier is a tribute to and modeled on Bellini’s A te Cara, Wagner’s favorite composer and the king of legato that inspired both composers. Pavarotti sang the aria in the great Swartzkopf/Kareyan recoding.

[@1NABUCCO1705]

Grand Opera is a term still used. Has nothing to do with the quality of the performers although Sutherland and Pavarotti together is quite Grand

[@Oetti]

well this is simply stunning! Don't forget the two pianissimi high A's that the soprano must sustain here... this is my favourite aria from the bel canto repertoire, bar none. i have something else to comment on, which I will leave in a follow-up comment.

[@absdyna]

Yes, I am always left mesmerized by the way Joan Sutherland managed to sing those pianissimo As as though they were middle Es or something!

[@willen2416]

This is the most beautiful ensemble from the bel canto era and it’s true. Those two high A’s by the soprano are amazing too, often overshadowed by the tenor’s astounding high F

[@chaiter1]

@MrAndredekock No, no commercial recordings of Sills with Pavarotti. You are right. This was unfortunate they never recorded together.

[@ransomcoates546]

Sutherland would not have been too pleased.

[@infrantasi]

He sings like a god, throws a High D out like a lightning bolt from Mt. Olympus, and you're worried about one word? It's live theatre. Mistakes are made. He's immortal.

[@thricegreatart]

WHO CARES whether it's tormento or contento, it's about the amazing bel canto sound.... if Pavarotti was singing the exact opposite statement I'd still be in ecstasy

[@photo161]

The perfect time, 1972, to hear Sills still at her very considerable best. To my ears, it was starting around 1973-4 that she suddenly began a shockingly precipitous vocal decline that left her many fans quite bereft. I among them. She came off better when partnered with Gedda as she so often was. Gedda, another great voice, but one that did not have the singularly aggressive plangent resonance of a Pavarroti and therefore left more "air time" for the somewhat smaller if always beautiful Sill's sound.

[@wotan10950]

Unfortunately, you’re right. And I was a devoted fan. Still am. She suffered from cancer, and changed her technique to sing the big Donizetti roles. And yet she could still deliver some extraordinary performances as late as 1977-78. Don’t be fooled by the recordings though; in the theater, her voice sounded much warmer, richer, and big than any recordings captured her voice.

[@erikaludwig3455]

Wunderschön

[@Oetti]

yah I totally agree, when I think of a tenor voice, I think Pavarotti, and I wasn't even a huge fan. I mean I have a ton of his albums and recordings, live and studio, but I was just never devout. And I still capable of admitting that his is the voice of the tenor. and yah, Corelli > MDM too...

[@georgestroian6093]

Bien d'autres chantent très bien cet air si beau mais je préfère Pavarotti. Merci aussi Bellini.

[@charlottehuang1207]

Thanks

[@Mooorhe]

Well, in 1972, not many people were familiar with I Puritani. I would guess that the applause is a tiny bit restrained at the end here because the audience doesn't want to accidentally applause midway through an aria (as the Bologna audience does in the 1969 I Puritani recording with Pavarotti/Freni which was amusing). I faded the applause out, but after the initial 'bravi' the place does erupt. They applauded for 15 minutes after the Vieni fra queste braccia of this performance.

[@MrAndredekock]

This was when Pavarotti could still really sing and before his voice became so white and mechanical. It is a beautiful rendition and I wonder whether they recorded the full opera together? Sills being my most favorite coloratura and all ..... Bravi!

@MrAndredekock Pavarotti was an exclusive w/Decca Records (aka London in those days).If you look at his discography,his sopranos were almost exclusively Freni and Sutherland at that time-both Decca artists.He LATER recorded for DG and EMI.His recording of Puritani w/Sutherland was released 1 yr after Sills recording w/ Gedda. Sills and Sutherland were "billed" as arch rivals.There was no crossover in those days. BTW,there was little chemistry between Pav and Sills offstage.Read Beverly's books!

Richard Bonynge said many times that he wanted Pavarotti to stay with the bel canto operas. But, as most singers do, he wanted to tackle more dramatic roles. Some singers are successful, most are not.

Catch MDM at his best and I like him a lot. Try his "Improvviso" rec posted by belcantosociety, and of course he was great in Otello... although that's not one of my favorite roles. He had a great upper register for such a large, dark voice. Nevertheless I also prefer Corelli overall.
