This is the most beautiful interpretation of this aria. Great singer, great musician.

One can almost sense divine inspiration in this performance - so perfect in every way. Nothing more to add or subtract, otherwise the spell will be broken. This defines RV's artistry, which cannot be attained unless one, with humility and sincerity, surrenders his gifts to serve the music, not use the music to serve his ego.

@danbar73 I still prefer bocelli's and pavarotti's version, do you know around how much are they charging per concert or presentation?... does the greates tenors, or ramon vargas ask ($)for concert?... Thanks

@mauriciomille Indeed Bocelli did his best and tried to put some feeling into it, but his delivery could use more variety of tonal colors and dynamics to help shape the lines and flow of the music. The fine orchestra & chorus were there to provide some relief. It's a pity that Pav used mic amplification when the wood interiors of the church already provided for that. As a result,he sounded as if he was singing the national anthem to a large sporting event instead of a prayer. Don't know their $
