  • I'd have to say no way is that from 1997. I heard him sing this in 1997 and he did not sound like that.

  • @tdeane34 I have the whole perfomance!You can find the cast at the Met Archives!!

  • @tdeane34 It is 100% Original!

  • @tdeane34 The year after he sang Ballo, and smacked the high C out of the ball park in the duet. He was tired by the third act though...

  • @Dymension yes i had that Great Ballo!!He had A GREAT High C at the Ballo duet that I didnot expect truly...yes by the third act he was tired a bit but he did not lose any note!!He was fantastic!!If you also thought that he was at that time 62 y,o!!!

  • High C at 0:25, at age 62. Absolutely amazing.

  • What's the problem? Pavarotti could get high C even in his 67.

  • Pavarotti's High C in 62 is great, but Domingo's like King-kong!

  • strepitoso grande come sempre.

  • @MariaCallasLegend Absolutely. I was pointing out that as a 62 year old man, he was naturally husbanding his resources for the "big moments", such as the 2nd Act of Turandot, the 2nd Act of Ballo, etc. But he was still able to produce great beauty of tone, and power when needed. He will certainly be missed!

  • @tdeane34 I was there! He phoned in the First Act, then sang the shit out of the second Act, and Nessun Dorma. After that he phone the rest of it again.

  • I was there.

  • Interesting that yo say Sony recorded it. Perhaps there were and there are some issues about any of the performers agreeing to release it.

    Hopefully some day these issues will be resolved and we will have it on shelf.

    Who knows how many such jems are held in the vaults of record companies...

  • @MariaCallasLegend PLease please please please I beg you to post more from this perfomance. Thanks.
