  •  Pavarotti the best !!

  • bravo maestro rip

    

  • I never knew he sang this aria... this was a very pleasant find!

  • For me as long as there is opera life is understandable!

  • Pavorotti and La Travata, my first taste of opera, then I traveled to Italy and understood life better.

  • Pavarotti, nevermore!

  • Great. I love Pavarotti. This is beautiful. But listen to my Jussi(Bjorling). For me there is just one number one.Jussi Always.

  • Kaufman too performing this sooooo Greatly after Pavarotty ... mmm ... just listen and get pleasure but warn not to get lost ... :)

  • This is wonderful singing: such ease of vocal production, such warm and tenderness, sob factor, spin, line, everything is here. This rendition presents a gold standard of great classical singing for conservatory students.

  • Luciano wrote in his first autobiography that he had a dream to sing Don Jose on stage and he also wanted to sing Werther on stage.

    It is a pity only recordings of the arias survived. I kind of hoped that DECCA might have a surprise or two to release toward Luciano's 75th birthday, but it seems we will never know how he could've sounded in both roles.

  • Very beautiful,This is an example of why Pavarotti was so good.Enjoy

  • I have a version of Pav singing 'La Fleur' on a playlist in my car at the minute that is so fantastic I keep it on 'repeat' when no one else is around. Of all th e versions available- and I think every tenor has tackled it- his is, for me, the brightest and truest.

  • I was quite surprised when I heard this. I was expecting the ultra bright, really bitey quality I am used to from Pavarotti. He sang this with a warm color that is just perfect for french Singing. Bravo Pav!

  • I have not heard Pavarotti sing this before . This sounds like the young Pavarotti .

    Most Beautiful Singing , at his best !!!

  • suoni Pavarotti ma suona quando stava iniziando la sua carriera come cantante, il suono della sua voce suona più scuro timbro vocale che costubre e il suo vibrato è diverso.

  • That’s not Pavarotti.

  • @Y2H that's him for sure

  • @Y2H

    Oh that's Pavarotti alright.

  • Listen to Jussi Björling good people!!

  • Listen to Jussi Björling good people.

  • I think I just had an eargasm...

  • Bravissimo il tenore maestro....

    Pierre Heldentenor

  • poi dicono che il bello è soggettivo...

  • Ma per carità....

  • PERFECTION once again

  • Poslechl jsem si tuto překrásnou arii v mnoha interprtacích, al Pavarotti je absolutně nejfantastičtější! Tají se mi dech při poslechu - hluboký zážitek Děkuji!

  • Gasp! I have never heard Pavarotti sing such perfect French before. And I love his lyric take on this, instead of the spinto over-acting most tenors go for. Lovely.

  • Absolution perfection! love love love this,,,its everything!!!!!!!!!!

  • Luciano was the best. I love his legato and perfect placement. Check out my humble recording of this aria. I love comments..

  • Actually the French here is quite good!!

  • A very under-rated song in my opinion. And perfectly sun by the Master himself.

  • @martynblackburn1977 I meant "sung"

  • @martynblackburn1977 why 'underrated'?

  • Woooow... 3:35 to 4:06 shivers me especially the B

  • Comment removed

  • Actually that's not the first Pav's meeting with French - in 1967 he recorded La fille du regiment with Sutherland - on YT here you have him performing the famous 9-high-Cs-aria "Ah mes amis" from the recording :-)) And his French was far better in that early rec.

  • Bellissimo

  • wow...have no words to speak!!!

  • It too bad not many truly understand what an exceptional singer Pavarotti was, especially in comparison to DOMINGO or Carreras..... They ruined their technique and pretty much screamed towards the end of their careers. Pavarotti was exceptional in 2nd formant tuning and had a truly solid technique until he got lazy and things started to drain away, however he still had a great technique compared to many others by that time.....

  • Simply the best there was.... French is ok but I am just glad he tried a different language.

  • Luciano is good but I prefer Carreras or Domingo!

  • Exceptional!
