  • They were both 61 years old here! This shows what impeccable training they both had as young singers and how they preserved their voices all through their respective careers. Pity about the screaming match at the end, instead of singing it how Puccini composed it.

  • simply beautiful.......

  • @MasterIsh91 They had the same choir master at the church at which they both began singing in Modena. But no doubt about their vocal abilities at all, but my comment was related to the fact that Pavarotti always wanted ting a top C at the end of the duet on the "Amor", instead of singing a piano A and allowing the soprano to sing a beautiful piano top C, and Freni had such beautiful piano abilities, the way Puccini composed it to be sung. Such a pity that he had to prove himself.

  • @MrAndredekock I think they had the same singing teacher, he clearly did a wonderful job!

  • Tuvieron la misma ama que les dio de mamar a los dos!!!! cantaron juntos 45 años en todo el mundo!!! fueron grandes amigos, y Mirella, cuando partiò Luciano, nos hizo llorar a mares, a todos aun mas!!!

  • @madisonelectronic Good one indeed!

  • ECCEZIONALI!!!!!!

  • It saddens to see some of these comments.

    Pavarotti and Freni can not be critiqued! They will always be celebrated for all time! He is the greatest tenor ever, no others have come close, no others today even merit to be in the same conversation! Freni IS Mimi, just like Kabaivanska IS Tosca!

    I was fortunate enough to see Pav and Freni in La Boheme, a magical performance :-))

    Thank you for sharing :-)

  • you should hear the performance by Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazon. priceless

  • hmmm, maybe I'm being picky, but the last high note they sang was not in unison. I think Pavarotti was on pitch, but Freni was slightly flat, and it didn't sound good.

  • Even at this age, Freni and Pavarotti could still melt us. Bravissimo.
