[@westminster860]

Unfortunately every tenor gets compared to Pavarotti. I've always loved Roberto's singing and tone. We here the bottom tones of his voice. Here at his sexiest. Big fan of his ex. Too. Pavarotti we hear the christal clear tone and his ability to ride the top if the phrases. Roberto has that sheer romantic and modern relatable voice. ❤

[@1MogJon]

This is an awesome version. I like Pavarotti's, too. And Corelli's. But, for me there is one version that tops them all, in my humble opinion the best tenor ever - Jussi Bjorling.

Ho sempre amato Pavarotti piu che tutti gli altri tenori. Ho frequentato Boheme in Miami con Pavarotitt e Freni (come altri Boheme in persona). Ma...devo dire che non ho mai sentito che gelida manina cantato cosi' bello come Alagna qua.

[@eligostheexalted]

You should listen to Mario Lanza's version. Arguably the best.

[@Domani02]

Un d'un élève de Pavarotti

[@wildliferox2]

@@eligostheexalted Thank you for the suggestion. It is a really interesting experience to listen to various versions side by side. Pavarotti's style has just such incredible ease, Mario Lanza - well his version really pulls the heartstrings (even for a beer-bellied balding bloke the other side of 50). However the more I listen to Roberto Alagna- the more the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Probably also due to the incredible quality of this recording, compared to the technology available around 5th May 1949 when Mario started making his RCA recordings. For me there are a number of things that stand out in this recording; Roberto is able to sing well across a wide dynamic range including pianissimo and sotto voce- which is not easy to do and really marks out a great singer. This means that the emotion of music is carried in the crescendo for longer, you have this greater length of build up even though its within the same time period- the ear hears more dynamic change within for the same beats. I would suggest also that this recording reveals a good degree of Coloratura, I must admit an obscure term which I hadn't fully understood before, and not sure I fully understand yet, there is more subtle variation in the way he sings, a subtlety that perhaps earlier recording equipment is unable to convey. For me Roberto Alagna has tried to delve into the aria and reveal more of its subtle complexity, the different layers and nuances, the lights and shadows of the piece. For me this recording is more nuanced, there is more to discover. I admit there is much I have to learn from Mario Lanza, the way you are pulled into the aria, he creates an emotional tidal wave that inevitably, irresistibly draws you in like no other. Lanza's recording of 1958 by Blue Pie Publishing is already better than the RCA recordings of '49.

[@someone.06]

having a incredible voice color does not mean there will be good singing performance. As you have said you listened this a lot by Pavarotti. So If you are an opera listener, you should have understood the emphasis differences and why this performance is average performance comparing to Pavarotti versions. Due to not being an Italian, most of the opera singers don't know where to put correct emphasises on words. That's why there is a master classes. Yes he has an incredible voice but still an average performance.
