NINE high Cs, one after the other, effortlessly, in La Fille du Regiment at the Met in 1972. He took 17 curtain calls. The house went wild. We bought seats but only used the edge. RIP Maestro Supremo. Unequalled, probably never to be equalled. Certainly not in our lifetime.

The truth and beauty of this voice will never be matched, by anyone. Forever in our hearts, Maestro!

Of course, many other tenors can also sing this "hammer aria" - but Pavarotti masters it (as it seems, without having to make any special effort) with a vocal ease and bravura that is unmatched.

Diese "Hammerarie" können natürlich viele andere Tenöre auch singen - Pavarotti aber bewältigt sie (wie es scheint, ohne sich besonders anstrengen zu müssen) mit einer stimmlichen Leichtigkeit und Bravour, die unerreicht ist.

Великолепно! Паваротти величайший!

It's really incredible how his voice is able to effectively cover so many fachs. This is easily leggero Territory but he sang lyric, spinto, and even some dramatic rep too

Stupendo il mio Luciano

....Big P at his best! A perfectly balanced lyrical voice over all registers. As the voice darkened later in his career, he went into more dramatic characters on stage. Not always to his advantage. The little word „No“ is probably the most important word for a long and sustainable career. LP was loved by his audience for decades, inside and outside the theaters. People on the market places loved him as well as the owners of the most expensive tickets. RIP

A certi commenti mi viene da rispondere... Vi meritate i cantanti di oggi... Come Kaufmann o la Netrebko etc... che impongono colleghi cani per non sfigurare loro...

I think people really under estimate his peerless diction, it's as if he is whispering, talking singing right in your ear. and so earnestly.

Absolutely astonishing!

Le plus grand de tous !

Le seul et l'unique Luciano pavarotti.❤❤❤

Unico!....immenso

Most impressive!

Revives my soul …

Most impressive. Wish I could sing.

Those are far from the best Top Cs that I have heard from Luciano, but compared to anyone else with a voice of comparable size and color they are pretty magnificent.

Why am I crying by the end?

Amor mio te quiero mucho ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Last high C was tired, his voice was ending that night or something, byt it's the first time ever i could hear that from young Pavarotti. He was so, so professional in terms of maintaining of the voice and keeping it in a good condition.

Ad ogni buon conto, come avrai certamente capito dalla mia furiosa ed impetuosa risposta (...al limite dell'offesa...se devo essere sincero....) ai tuoi giudizi su quella performance di Pavarotti, io tendo durante l'ascolto, al contrario di te mi pare di aver capito, a giudicare in base ad istintive vibrazioni emotive immense, talmente univoche ed indissolubili e travolgenti, che immediatamente vivo in una sicurezza tale da sentirmi io e soltanto io dalla parte del giusto e della verità. Ti prego non giudicare stonate le mie parole....... E non solo. Per farti meglio intendere quello che voglio dirti (dal momento che temo di non essere così efficace nel trasporre in parole un ragionamento al limite dell'involuzione) è sufficiente che tu ascolti (....anche se certamente già la conoscerai) l'interpretazione di Pavarotti de "....che gelida manina" eseguiao proprio al suo debutto a Modena nel 1961. Non potrai che concordare con me che nel definire sconvolgente e sovrumana quella interpretazione, che rapisce l'anima per qualche istante ma che ti aiuta a capire cosa è e cosa non è...tutto il resto non ha la stessa importanza.... Pavarottti riesce a rendere vivo qualcosa di inanimato ed impalpabile, qual'è la musica.

Sumejor momento de luciano pavarotti cantado donizetti la hija del regimiento 9 do repecho una voz ponte grade momento de luciano pavarotti

No creo que estoy haya sido en 1973 para esa fecha Pavarotti todavía tenía una voz sólida, más joven y con menos desgaste, aquí la canto muy bien, excelente pero se le noto que fue un poco difícil para el, yo calculo que esta presentación es de los 80's

Dressed like Michael Jackson haha

5:15
