Luciano Pavarotti - Pour mon ame - Live 1972 (with the Met)

Luciano Pavarotti sings 'Pour mon ame' famed for its 9 high Cs; he holds the final one for roughly 9 seconds!! The show stops for a standing ovation. The audience loved it!

This is from act I of Donizetti's La fille du regiment.

This performance was in New Orleans on the Met's tour of 1972, recorded from the second balcony.

Live 1972 - The Metropolitan Opera orchestra conducted by Richard Bonynge

The user 'SalGibet' sent this recording to me and requested it be uploaded, many thanks!

He doesn't "hit" those notes; he crushes them!

jdf can't compare to this. this is simply beautiful. florez has agility and a nice marketing but pav had a voice, heck... ernesto palacio had a more beautiful voice than florez ever could wish to have.

[marcellny]

c'mon... someone really compared florez to this?

[Grahcm]

Oh to have been there

[babystinky]

@honestopera I love people who think their opinion is the only thing that matters. Florez is one of the most desired Rossinian tenors, I'm pretty sure most people think very highly of his voice.

[honestopera]

@dpguibors Pav's French is better than your English apparently. And at least Pav's voice sounds good. Florez's voice is ugly and has no warmth to it. It is all chiaro and pushing. A voice without chiaroscuro is hard to listen to if the listener has any sense of tone.
