Luciano Pavarotti (in my opinion, the greatest Rodolfo ever) sings Che gelida manina from act I of Puccini's La Boheme

Live 1969 - La Boheme - Orchestra Sinfonica e Coro di Roma della RAI conducted by Thomas Schippers

This video is part of my tribute to the late Luciano Pavarotti, who as you should know, died a year ago today (6th of September). I'm posting up a few live recordings of his, just to try and get across the true Pavarotti to those who think that Pavarotti's greatest hour was singing with the spice girls. This recordings shows the true Pavarotti, a gorgeous, youthful, colourful, joyous and refined voice. Recordings like this are why I consider him to be the best Rodolfo. His Mimi was Mirella Freni, who I consider to be the best in her role. This recording is one of my favourites.

Rest in peace Maestro, may you sing with the angels.

  • Utterly brilliant - what a free open relaxed focussed and elegant tone! Just wish there was a video to go with it!!! And is that Freni in the photograph?

  • That is indeed the beautiful Mirella Freni.

    That is actually a live concert performance of La boheme.

    That picture is a still from a video from 1965 - which is still yet to surface in its entirety.

  • That's complete rubbish.

  • i can't tell the difference between one singer and another singer

  • ...Well surely you can tell the difference between a female and a male voice. And all voices are very different.

  • @GermanOperaSinger

    Disagreed, I like your posting much much better. Say Hi to your mom for me btw. Ciao

  • @maseratiquattroport Then why use the word "fags"? If you weren't trying to draw attention to yourself, why would you post hate speech on a video of Che gelida manina?

  • After about 5 minutes of thought... I had nothing to say. My mouth just hung open......

    wow.. just wow...

  • Brings tears to my eyes every time. :)

  • Grazie !!!

  • Jussi  Björling.

    I love both Pavarotti and Bjorling! I can't make up my mind who I like better and I am just happy that I can hear both of their recordings.
