American tenor Jan Peerce sings "Questa O Quella" from "Rigoletto" by Giuseppe Verdi in this video from 1982 when he was 78 years old. The orchestra is the Beersheba Chamber Orchestra and the conductor is Mendi Rodan.
I have the 50s recording of the entire opera with Leonard Warren; it has been one of the treasures of my life. This rendition is worthy of that recording, and there can be no higher compliment. Staggeringly wonderul.
I guess if someone didn't like it they don't know how old 78 is!

Um cantor de tecnica realmente valiosa e solida, mas melhor para as gerações que vieram depois que ele tivesse se dedicado mais ao ensino!

I wonder why they didn't release this take? When you sing this well at 76(born in 1904) its totally remarkable.

I actually think this version is better than the one released on the album they were making!
