Nessun Dorma (Pavarotti, NY 1980)

Luciano Pavarotti singing from a concert in January 1980 with the NY Philharmonic cond. by Zubin Mehta. Compare this performance with other (later) dates; Pavarotti here is clearly still in absolute total command. This was part of the "Live from Lincoln Center" 30th anniversary special.

This performance literally brings me to tears. It's amazing what some people can do with the human voice. Just splendid.

Well said. We all have our favorites but not in all role's can one singer be best. A lyric tenor singing Spinto roles in house won't to be as exciting as a voice more suited to the role. A Spinto or dramatic singing a lyric lyric role will not usually be as fineas a lyric, depending on the role. On recordings a lyric or lyric spinto may sound more powerful than he is and a dramatic like MDM not as fine or large as the voice is. Some voices record better than others. Pav's real fav. was Pippo.

He's asking for "Nessun Dorma". Pavarotti and Mehta nod in acknowledgement.
