Pavarotti almost always sounded glorious, but the role lies a little low for him. Pavarotti's real glory is his high voice. That's why you hear more dramatic tenors singing it (although John Mark Ainsley did an amazing job with the Munich production a few years ago).
@aguacun Yes, although (annoyingly) it's the shorter version that Mozart revised for the Vienna concert. 'Torna la pace' is also sung here in its truncated version.
Oddly there are all these comments on Pavarotti's appearance rather than on his sound. I think he looks like a movie star here. To me he looks startingly like Jack Black.
Luciano is beautiful here [as always] but because his dishevelled wig you can recognize here by his amazing and beautiful eyes and of course his amazing voice. BRAVO LUCIANO I LOVE YOU. and thank you Carolina.
Well, you've got to love him for trying new things.
There's a scene in the Ballo DVD, (the one w/ Millo) where he's got a bandana tied around his head. He looks absolutely dashing. He'd have been a good pirate, I think.
BRAVO MODENACON; Eine vollkommene wiedergabe der arie. I just now understand your user name.. Pavarotti Birthplace. This is a wonderful recording, one I never viewed prior. It is amazing that one of PAV's first operas was as the Son 'IDAMANTE'. That was how high pitched his voice was. God Bless & Thank You; BARONE.

This is the way in which you should sing Mozart - the Italian way!

He looks so odd here- like Captain Jack Sparrow in his declining years.

Exactly! Kind of wild looking, but I like it....

Maybe it made a nice change from the tuxedo and slicked-back curls of all those concerts.
I bet he got really tired of it, like a school uniform.

I wonder how much of the attraction to an opera career is a love of dressing up and playing bandits and pirates, and so on?
