@oznob64 Of course, the violins are great.

@Mooorhe I did see the 1979 Gioconda. In fact my wife and I were singing prevue shows at the Bank of America and Pavarotti himself showed up. I preferred Bonisolli in the Gioconda and Kraus in the Elisir - but neither for vocal reasons. By the time he did this performance he had the role internalized. Maybe it was the contrast with Kraus that made P sound tentative. A lot of name singers like Leontyne Price also sang roles first in SF and when they learned them went to the Met.
-
I can't say I've listened to the entire broadcast all the way through, but I've listened to both of his arias, the duets with Adina, Dulcamara and Belcore and I didn't detect tentativeness.
It wasn't his first Nemorino, as he did the role in Australia in 1965.
I've read 'The King and I' and know that learning music quickly was a problem for Pavarotti. As evidence of this, I'd put forth his many mistakes in his 1979 Enzo in SF (which you probably saw), not the aforementioned Nemorino.
-
Pavarotti sounded tentative all night until he got to the aria which he knew. This is a common phenomenon when singers are doing a role the first time, especially those who have trouble learning music.
I'm sure you've read "The King and I" by Breslin. Pavarotti was famous for learning his music late. Often the better the vocal equipment the worse the muscianship.
-
The broadcast of it suggests otherwise.
-
I heard him at that performance. The voice was indeed exceptional but what you fail to mention is that he didn't know the music. He replaced Alfredo Kraus in that production - a less lucious voice but a better actor and he knew the part.
-
I can't find this recording, I'd love to be proven wrong.
-
He can if you listen to his 1969 Nemorino in San Francisco; he compares most favourably.
