The voice was always astonishing. I had the pleasure of hearing him, live, March 4, 1978, in the Fox Theater in Atlanta. Despite all the best intentions of recording engineers( and this is excellent) when one heard his voice, live, no mike, in person, even in a venue with acoustics more suited to Movies, he was a miracle. He ended his recital with Nessum Dorma, and the theater was in awe. We rewarded him with a five minute standing ovation. His great "Al Alba , Vincero!" was electric. I will not get involved with any of the pissy little disputes such as Lanza versus Pavarotti. I have only heard Lanza, as has everyone else, recorded, and unless one gets lucky and hears the live singing, it is all just surmising.

It wasn't "always astonishing". I was at Covent Garden in 1980 or possibly 1981 (I remember I went from uni, but forget which year) to hear his Ballo in Maschera. It was a bit rubbish. He basically phoned in the whole thing. One or two phrases were a bit more than nicely done. The rest was pedestrian and uninspiring, if wrapped in a nice sound. I guess that's the deal with live performance: sometimes they have an off day, or just can't be bothered. Edit: thinking about it, more likely 1981 or 1982.
