Luciano Pavarotti sings Parmi veder le lagrime from act II of Verdi's Rigoletto. I've never heard a better Duke, and this clip shows why.

  • I have not read all the comments but just before the Bb near the end there is an edit, so one can't really hear how he handled that phrase.

  • An edit?

  • Thank you for making this video available. It was my pleasure to hear Pavarotti perform during this time period. Unfortunately,no recordings of his "golden period" are able to fully capture the beauty of his voice as experienced in live performances.

  • You're very lucky indeed, what did you see him in?

  • Good lord... this is perfection. I haven't heard a finer rendition, even from him.

  • Absolutely gorgeous!!! Sound better than ever.

  • Unless his voice can magically erase the reverb from the entire theatre, it was edited. I'm not saying that he didn't project that note, just that something is wrong with the tape since there's complete silence before the Bb.

    It's a shame because he wasn't at his best that night, but I still think that it's the best recording that showcases his amazing squillo and sheer power.

    Viva Pavarotti! :)

  • It's at 4:32-33.

  • You're wrong. Listen to the 1966 version of this and you'll hear clearly, when he was younger he could literally launch into the notes in a special way. Listen to that version and you will see what I mean. Pavarotti, 1966, Rome, Parmi veder le lagrime, listen.

  • Ah! Bel Canto!!!

  • It sounds like the live performance was enhanced. Isn't there a blip before the last "gl'angeli" before the cadenza?
