Beverly Sills as Elvira

Some excerpts of the bubbly Beverly Sills at her most alluring vocal shape as Elvira in I Puritani: "Son vergin vezzosa", "Vieni fra queste braccia" and "Ah! sento, o mio bel angelo". Her Arturo is Luciano Pavarotti. They make a legendary Opera couple!
The conductor is Anton Guadagno (Philadelphia, 1972).

Warning: For some reason, when I uploaded this video in YouTube, the volume of the sound became very high. So I recommend you to lower the volume of your speakers. ;-)

A glorious evening - I was at this performance and it was super.

oh my... listen to the speed at the end! amazing!

[windstorm1000]

They're both wonderful. That F must be dangerous for a tenor to sing--but Pavarotti did it.

@pearlmuth3 Why do you attempt to promote your favorite singers by pointing out supposed faults of other famous singers. Is that really necessary? Do your examples in any way offer definitive proof of their superiority? You're a fan of certain singers whom you prefer over others; leave it at that.

This is fabulous.. Sills is grand, and it is why i love her, she is a great actress.. you understand every word too.

[raigekimaru]

both of them more volume in the upper range than most lyric voices (most tenors sound like they got kicked in the balls when they sing high. pav makes it sound easy and natural like it should be for someone with good technique)

I cant' believe my ears, and this is live too. Bliss.

This is ridiculous! High D-flat. Ahhh my two favorite opera singers.
