What a delightful 26 minutes! Lovely man, Placido.

Pavarotti said that he never sang Otello because his lyric tenor voice was not "dark" and powerful enough for the role. Domingo was perfect for it, and with age he has actually switched to singing baritone.

Pavarotti a enregistré otello en 1990 avec Solti 😊😮

[@amymack1954]

@@lionelthiebaud7081Pavarotti said that in an interview with Peter Ustinov, but maybe the interview took place before 1990 and he changed his mind. Thanks for the information!

Yes the interview was late 70's

Glorious. I think we just lost Parkinson this year, sad to say. Different excerpts from this show I've seen before, but this is new footage and it's delightful. My missus will be thrilled. Mil gracias. Paz.

I believe that the father the adoptive father of Gedda is a relatief from Ustinov !

Every second of a Ustinov interview is pure gold.
