Il Trovatore Finale - Sutherland - Horne - Pavarotti

[23zowie23]

So elvis14ism - you obviously don't like the other classics that Horne and Sutherland have presented. For mine shows a lack of class in your listening. If you are in fact an Elvis fan - I take it all back Warmest to you - Graham Melb Aus

[elvis14ism]

pavarotti,sutherland are nice.marilyn horn ugly voice as usual

[lantis323f]

Cantare con lo spartito davanti! Lo fanno gli studendi al conservatorio!

Tristezza!

[jessehaley615]

Geez. Odd remarks on this video yet again.

[mstrsims2]

thanks so much for loading this. I had the LPs for years and always loved them. I wish this concert was on DVD. the three solo numbers they each do are terrific!

then they each do a duet followed by a few trios! Great stuff.

[TrevorDaniels]

Sutherland: "Muuuuuuuu muuu muuuuuu MUUUUH muu-muu!"

[Hako2004]

@Caskader

Thank you for that illuminating commentary. We all gained so much from it.

[lundilar]

Listening to this incendiary music, I just couldn't help but marvel at the genius of Maestro Verdi. As for Luciano, I love Joan Sutherland, but she and Horne and that marvelous bass were satellites around the glorious sun of Pavarotti; his control, power and beauty of expression brought tears to my eyes.

[Fasolt100]

Bei tempi per la lirica...

[kevfulchester]

That woman on the right, is that her real head? Holy Jesus... Looks like a Little Britain character...

[Hako2004]

@kevfulchester

Welcome to the world of opera, its obvious that you haven't been here long. That women is Dame Joan Sutherland. Often referred to as La Stupenda, or the Voice of the Century. 

[kevfulchester]

@Hako2004 Fair enough. She's still got a very odd head though :)

[taylrd]

4:21 is beautiful

[MrDiabo76]

Non ho capito chi avesse la piccolissima voce. Nonostante ciò, a mio personalissimo gusto preferisco quelle che lei definisce "piccolissime voci" ad altri celebrati urlatori.

[lantis323f]

Questi sono cantanti veri... non le pecore che cantano oggi!

[RAFSQNLDR]

RIP Dame Joan.  We will miss you.

[tenordramaticitm2]

Bravoooooo!

[RossiniSoprano]

This is so wonderful to sing....I finally started working on it this year. Viva Verdi!

[ThankYouAndHello]

Marilyn Horne sounds wonderful

[cogitoergoboh]

eppure a me Joan Sutherland non piace continuo a sentirla e non mi piace in nessuna aria, saranno le mie orecchie o forse non capisco niente

[BelCantoFan2]

4 of them didnt like this video...fools!!!

[galtai]

What a trio of masters of singing.

[222mozart]

Verdi for ever.

And me.

[bkmustang07]

that b flat from marilyn is awesome

[VCDartay]

4:50 - 5:05. Damn.

[dermotafan]

Nice, but why the last Manrico Leonora emitted sounded like Alfredo.

[Oberon90]

La Horne!!!!What a range! Also the bartione has a very fine voice. Four great voices on stage! Maestro Pavarotti and Dame Joan Sutherland inculded^^

[spbsalon]

BRAVISSIMI !!!!

[modo03]

Can anyone please tell me what the piece of music that starts at 2:53 is please?It's a slow waltz.Does it appear anywhere else in Il trovatore?Thanks.

[RossiniSoprano]

@modo03 Yes, it's the "ai nostri monti" that Azucena and Manrico had sung as a duet earlier in Act 4, before Leonora arrived in the cell.

[richardvergara]

That's how it's done!!...

[MrDiabo76]

ci vuole un bel coraggio a dire che è un cast sbagliato. Favolosi!!!

[VivaRenata]

@MrDiabo76 Dunque, possiedo anch'io un po' di corraggio! Si deve ricordare che la grande Tebaldi ha fatto un'incisione del Trovatore, ma non ha mai cantata Leonora sul palcoscenico. La Tebaldi fù troppo modesta, raggionando che fosse un lirico-spinto, e non un soprano drammatica. Per lei, questo ruolo era troppo pesante. Se ci fossero cantanti di sua qualità nei nostri giorni! PS: Ho sentito Pavarotti parecchie volte, ed anche la Sutherland al Metropolitan come Donna Anna. Piccollissma voce.

[Leonora157]

@MrDiabo76 Non sono nei loro cavalli di battaglia, ma cantano divinamente

[herring508]

I love it!!!

[Tenorbravo]

This will never happen again. Thanks for sharing this WONDERFUL INTERPRETATION. NICEJOB. JUST ENJOY IT....GREAT VOICES...HORN WAS FANTASTICA.

[petelovesbevsills]

And here we have not one but three voices of the century that will NEVER be equalled, EVER Bravi Bravi Bravi!!!

[federricoilgrande]

Cast sbagliato, Luciano improbabile Manrico

[runintexas]

Glorious!  What voices!

[LibbySingsMezzo]

I don't think the dress is that bad for 1981. You have to consider that back then women in their 40's and 50's were considered old, so dowdy was appropriate, not like today when women don't even reach full hotness until age 45. Just close your eyes and enjoy the glorious sound.

[saiserieht]

Interestingly M. Horne steals the show here!

[anne2190]

unbelievable. I got goose bumps listening. Thanks

[bcndn63]

...and that's what opera's all about, charlie brown...

[blakeneybn]

Let's not forget a very young Jake Gardner in the last half! If anybody's lucky enough to hear him around the country, the voice hasn't died a bit after all this time! Also, he's a pretty amazing teacher!

[vpgeiger08]

Tremendous cast.

[marcherst]

Utterly beautiful.

Wonder why these great supranos wear such ugly dresses.

Thanks for posting.

[Operaman41]

In 1981 they were probably Top designer dresses since that has been almost 30 years ago funny you should worry about that instead of the great singing

[marcherst]

I'm not worried about it, just curious. Seems strange that millionaire women would choose such dowdy clothes. Of course, these two women could go on stage in rags and still be considered the greatest. I personally am a Pavarotti fan.

The suprano voice holds no magic for me.

Pavarotti got me interested in opera, I heard him sing once and I was lost. I only listen/watch supranos when he is singing with them. :-)

[Operaman41]

Again this was 1981!!!!!! And the fashion back then was pretty high you are trying to compair todays fashion with yesterday. I know what you are saying there are some fasion from the 80's that I do remember and think My GAWD! But there was some that was good. I dont think Hornes is all that bad look at her's in recital with Price

[olgamarga]

Amazing,wonderful perfomance,many thanks both Sue Anne Nivens and Colaraturafan.

[rossmcl177]

Wonderful! Would have been nice to see a bit more of the applause/reactions at the end, but that's nitpicking. Thanks for sharing.

[strauss1987]

who is the baritone?

[rossmcl177]

Wonderful. Thank you so much for letting us see this amazing performance.... I feel bad for even saying this but one small complaint is that I would have loved a few more seconds at the end to anjoy the applause and see the singers' reactions. Too often YouTube giuves us great performances which end abruptly just as the applause sets in. But hey that's only a minor criticism though. Thanks again for sharing! :)
