Agreed. Mehta was profoundly in top form. You can see throughout Mehta is in sync with LP, knowing LP’s capabilities and conducting the orchestra to mirror LP with their entrances, continuations, and endings. Absolutely exquisite conducting by Mehta from start to finish. Additionally, the way Mehta himself gets ‘into’ the high points of each aria with his physical and emotional presence is sublime. It reinforces his knowledge and connection with Pavarotti throughout the performance.

I only saw him once live. 18 years after this concert, when he was arguably in his prime. Even though he was near 20 years after this video when attending his performance, he absolutely brought the house down. He came out for five…FIVE…encores. Neither he nor we wanted the night to end. Indelibly one of the most memorable evenings of my life. Was dumbstruck that a voice that powerful and beautiful could emit from any human. Selah

I agree-you will not find a better performance after this. And I have watched EVERY one of them on KZfaq

ellen lyons you're over-nitpicking one word from the post and missing the whole point. Not a surprise - there's at least one in every crowd. Congratulations!

@@copelandtenn I never miss anything much less your point. Condescending does not become you, nor is it appropriate in this case.

You are absolutely right. I have returned to this as YT alerted me to something to do with a comment made on an earlier comment of mine. I watched it and thought, he was never as good as this after 1980. And probably, given the repertoire, he was never as good as this before it. Those open As, and the entire phrase taken without breath as the climax of vesti la giubba ...I heard him many times. And Domingo. And Carreras. And Bartolini. Martinucci. And Lima. And Alagna. And them all of that period. No one could use his resonances nor those of the hall like he did. He had enormous singing intelligence. In my view, probably in THOSE days, greater than the others. His technique was superior and the instrument the more beautiful. He did not cheat (eg PD on top notes, hoarse and cracked and nothing but touched, to be followed by an extended low resolution as if to cover for the shortcoming). Having said that, in the opera house, few (actually, NONE) could move you like Placido. He was more than the sum of his parts and no one, probably save for Callas, could convey suffering nor engagement with his fellows on stage, more than Domingo. But as for LP here - THANK GOODNESS FOR KZfaq and thank you to TODO OPERA for posting!

Thats the Magic of the opera, and of course, the beautiful voice of our great Luciano!

@@todoopera4996 I so agree, Opera is the highest form of beautiful music, instrumentally, and of course the instrument of Luciano Pavarotti. I listen to what the conductors, music experts, and fellow singers say. Best operatic voice in a century, PD says, I am making my debut and here comes this divine voice, I never hear anything like it, and he makes it look so easy. Richard Boyngne (SP) says, there is nothing coming up that is anything like his voice, maybe there never will be. etc

@@ellenlyons7413 - you know plenty about opera!

same! everything you said!❤

Big Lulu, we Will miss him forever!

Of course My dear friend! I would do it with pleasure! If You want share it to me and i Will try to improve the vídeo Quality too

@@1973navino si vada ad ascoltare e vedere le sue esibizioni dopo il 1885 noterà un notevole abbassamento vocale e addirittura in alcuni casi anche fuori tono......tant'e' che i suoi primi insuccessi vennero dopo appunto il 1985 ..88'....

@@francocapone9094 Ha ragione , sono d'accordo anche se gli standard si sono mantenuti del tutto meritevoli. Addirittura mi ricordo il mio professore di musica alle Medie il quale affermava (questo nell'85) ".... anche se gli esperti dicono che ormai Pavarotti é in discesa...". In questa registrazione si vede un Pavarotti , nel pieno della giovinezza (41 anni) e della forza fisica. Sa poi qual'é il mio rammarico ? che purtroppo KZfaq riesce a passare solo 1/10 di quello che si prova dal vivo e la Lirica resta sempre a pannaggio di pochi per diversi motivi. Grazie della Risposta e le auguro Buona Giornata

@@1973navino Here he is 45 Y.O

Agreed. He did not have this kind of command in the 90’s onward. Here he is hitting everything and it seems largely effortless to do so. I must add, though there was a decline in ease of hitting them all, I did see him live in 1998 and he was PHENOMENAL. He came out for 5 encores. Neither we nor he wanted the night to end. That night ingrained and cherished forever.
