RARE! 1969 Pavarotti and Grist duet: L'elisir D'amore, live

[pedrofribeiro]

Pava is great. Reri is just ok.

[ArmandoCintra]

in my opinion is a great document of the first recording of operas in teather...

[chaiter1]

The voice just pours out effortlessly... What a singer.I think we live in lucky times. To be able to hear so many great voices from recordings.But Luciano is really special and among that top of top crop.

I didnt know they used mic on the stage by then...it is the fact that Pavarotti used to have a very good technique and very gooooooooooooooooood projection!

[operavoices101]

They did use microphones back then surprisingly enough. The mic/ recording devices used to record the performances were in a fixed location and if the performer turned their back or moved away from the mic, they were not heard as clearly.

[LeCoconut]

his projection is crazy, i have to turn it down when he sings haha not saying reri's projection isn't good, just that he's so much louder!

i love them both they are AMAZING!!!!!

[operavoices101]

She does have a softer voice, but i think he was just a little closer to the microphones at the time.

[LeCoconut]

ah yea that makes sense...it's still wonderful to hear!!

[Iareto]

Wow...my favorite tenor with my favorite coloratura...incredible. Do you have his Una Furtiva? Or her Prendi? I'd love to hear them.

[operavoices101]

I don't have Prendi, but I will put up Una...

[MsWolts]

Che timbro meraviglioso. Pavarotti un vero tenore lirico-spinto. Irripetibile la sua facilità d'acuto e la sua ironica sensibilità. Il più grande Nemorino di sempre.

We miss you, Maestro RIP 9/6/07

His voice was beyond beautiful at this time. The colors, the dynamics, that ring! He lavishes his voice on the words like a generous host pouring out wine. He knows hes got plenty to spare.

Thank you SO much for sharing this.

il vero titolo è "una parola, o Adina" ... o piuttosto "Chiedi all'aura"... thanks for posting

[FoggyRoad81]

Oh, I'm sorry was I supposed to be listening to Luciano, I was captivated by the stunning Ms. Grist. Brava!

[drsportsing18]

Si Brava Signora Grist!!!!!

[Ravenelvenlady]

This is a wonderful post! A classic, excellent performance from two of the best. The young Pavarotti is just superb, and Ms. Grist is such a rarity. Thank you.. Please post more of both artists if you can.

[arcot9]

This singing is what made Pavarotti...Pavarotti!!

[loveluciano1]

very beautiful, i love this duet with luciano pavarotti very much, he sung beautifully and emotionally.

[gaettatelli]

La grist, presente anche in un Rigoletto con mac neil egedda della rca mi sembra, è troppo madavvero troppo leziosa, con una vocina piccola piccola, non mi piace personalmente. Invece Lucianone è un grande il migliore in assoluto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nel video con la Battle e Dara diretti da Levine si può apprezzare l'attore anche è sorprendente!!!!

[slowpokecat]

thank you for posting and yes post the others.

[operavoices101]

Im glad that you enjoyed it. I will post the others today.
