This is the 1961 debut in Reggio Emili which was his prize for winning the Concorso Internazionale di Canto. His Mimi was Italian soprano Pellegrini and Marcello was Vito Mattioli. Conducted by the great Molinari-Pradelli.

@tenorissimo1986 I have done must research to find the recording you reference here. It is my conclusion that there is NO recording from his debut in 1961. Barely anyone even knew who he was back then. There weren't any microphones that day. If you are so sure that you are correct, will you please cite your reference? If you don't, I want everyone to remember this exchange for what it is.

I agree totally with your comments on Pav gienl! For me, his voice is the only tenor I want to hear. Incomparable. I miss him every day, but thanks to technology, I still get to hear him every day.

his voice was never strained. i don't know what you're listening to or why you would say something like that. maybe you're just a bitter singer who never will/could sing. Pavarotti was the best no matter what he sang.

@GermanOperaSinger Thanks for the suggestion. After spending even more time researching this topic, I am now 100% positive that there is NO recording of his 1961 debut. This misinformation must end on YouTube. You will want to correct any videos you personally have claiming a "1961 debut". Take Care, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :)

@operavoices101 Do a quick search on Google: 'Pavarotti 1961 debut recording' and you'll find that this recording is quite well known. I don't have the source but I read about it a long time ago and I know for a fact this is his debut recording. One of the stage crew members taped the performance backstage. It was only a coincidence that the tenor singing that night (Pavarotti) ended up having a very successful career.

Even though this recording is of rather poor quality as to its age, it must be from the 60s, I suppose, one still can realize the enormous emotion and expressiveness of Pavarottis interpretation. He sang from the bottom of his heart with "a tear in his lapel."

I saw him on stage twice and not only his voice enchanted me, it was also the very special aura that surrounded him: divine. And still he was a modest person. Always alive.

I think that was a young Pavarotti.

I just feel really lucky to have heard Pavarotti and others live including all solo recitals he gave in Chicago. I got to shake his hand and once he hugged my Mom when we went backstage for autographs. This seems normal to me until I think of the millions back then that heard him only on vinyl records, tv, or radio.
