Franco Corelli lo supera, por algo la gran soprano sueca Birgit Nilsson cantó Turandot con Corelli en los grandes teatros de opera de mundo. Pavarotti solo cantó la opera completa dos o tres veces
This recording of the entire opera, is considered by many the definitive recording of Turandot. All the principal artists and Conductor were arguably at the peak of their abilities.
Pavarotti continued to be amazing even as he aged. His performances of Nessun Dorma in the 1990’s can still give one chills. But there are differences in his more youthful performances. When he was younger, such as here in 1972, near the end, when he sings “Dilegua, o note!” he would really nail that entry, really pounding “dilegua.” In later years, he still hit the note right, but it was less strong until “o notte.”
I regret not having known his singing during his prime. I came to know him when he traveled with the 3 Tenors and that was late in the game. At least youtube means he continues to live among us.
We’re so fortunate to have lived during Pavarotti’s era! I think Pavarotti owns this aria. There’s Caruso, Gigli, Bjorling, di Stefano, Corelli, and then there’s Pavarotti! Each one can tear your heart out! I know there’s so many more - Mario Del Monaco probably owns Vesti la giubba. The point is who ever your taste Pavarotti in his prime stands among our tenor heroes.
Such an extraordinary talent. Although he is no longer with us, we have his music to listen to forever. Just stunning. I actually don't have enough superlatives.
No one has ever been able to sing Nessun Dorma as beautiful as Pavarotti. I have never got tired of listening to this tremendous voice. The world has lost a legend when he died.

IMO Pavarotti's version of Nesson Dorma is the one version that makes nonopera lovers and even opera haters take notice., It's like OMG I can't believe what I just heard.
Homies would do good to hang around and embrace this. It might teach them there was a time before voice enhancement when great artists actually used their voices.
The most beautiful Pavarotti's rendition of this great aria, is the one he sang in 1985 in Modena's Piazza Grande Live concert. That was why I started to studying and singing opera. I was only 13 when I listened to Pavarotti. Yeah Corelli did great too, but No one could make you stand as Pavarotti does...
Corelli was 3x bigger voice than Pav. The ring he had especially for a Calaf is out of this world. Pavarotti was greatness, but with Calaf and Nessun Dorma, nobody comes iven close to the power and timbre of Corelli.
@@adeeo I agree. Corelli was greater with voice. Pavarotti was greater as singer himself with a great voice and power either. If you think to "Nessun dorma!" can immediately figure Pavarotti even if you ain't an operaholic.
PAVAROTTI best rendition of Nessun Dorma because of sustaining high notes at the end of aria and very clear and powerful vocalization throughout. BRAVO.
Absolutely gorgeous. I never tire of listening to Pavarotti sing Nessun Dorma...Or anything else, for that matter. Thank you for posting this, I've liked and subscribed.
Pavarotti mensageiro da paz. Qtos países colheram o fruto desta bondade. Vozeirão magnífico, inigualável eterno,imortal . PAVAROTTI IMORTALIZADO pelo vozeirão e pôr ser mensageiro da paz.
Mr. Pavarotti. You are a immortal God. I can’t believe your gone, you were taken to so from this planet and away from your people. Godspeed Mr. Pavarotti. I would of loved too of seen you live. I have 4 of your CDs . There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t listen to you. I’m the biggest heavy metal fan of IRON MAIDEN, but you Mr. Pavarotti are above all others......
Listen Better. Corelli, Del Monaco were 3x bigger voices and best Calafs ever, especially Corelli. Doubt there was and is a better Calaf out there. I love Pav and this rendition, but in real the voice is small to the others mentioned.
I noticed he seems to always sound sharp In recordings that I've heard after he got older, but here he does not.. He sounds right on key. Great performance.
@@henrigaziel2002 Pitch is a slippery concept. The orchestra (and, by extension, everyone else on stage) tunes A to something from ... well, it's arbitrary. It used to be a lower frequency (I read somewhere, so it must be true, right?) so high Cs weren't such a gargantuan struggle. I vaguely remember a story that Pav got the orchestra to tune a half tone lower so he could hit the "high C" in Che Gelida Manina (presumably without anyone noticing). God knows how people who claim pitch-perfectness justify their claim against a provably-changing definition of pitch. Maybe I'm just being my usual Grumpy Old Man. And, when I'm mis-remembering or just Plain Wrong, let me know in the comments below (as they say).
@@davidgould9431 Pitch isn’t a concept, slippery or otherwise. All singers transpose and Pavarotti certainly transposed ‘Che Gelida Manina’, but he also sang it in the original pitch, with the high C gloriously in place. Ironically it was Pavarotti who correctly pointed out to Karajan that the harp introduction was flat! You hear a C sharp and D in Rigoletto, even a beautiful E flat in Spirto gentil in Favorita. I had perfect pitch, it’s changing with the passing years, and I think it’s very noticeable when it’s transposed. I believe it changes the music’s character. We have a pretty uniform pitch concept now, the Stuttgart, corresponding to an audio frequency of 440 Hz. Scheibler recommended it as standard in 1834 after inventing the "tonometer" to measure pitch. The French and Austrians tried to lower this, but to no effect or use.
@@henrigaziel2002 I've obviously mis-remembered something: I thought it was lower than 440Hz sometime before the early 20th century. My memory seems to be shredding itself as I get older. Possibly also mis-remembered: Tito Schipa habitually tuned lower and his entourage would tour with ready-transcribed scores. Happy to be wrong about that, too :-)
I tend to agree. Age plays a part in this concept. Every great singer loses a step as they age, similarly to a championship athlete. Our vocal chords cannot sustain. It is a fact of the aging process.
¿Mejor que Franco CORELLI, Mario del Monaco? Franco CORELLI considerado el Calaf por excelencia. Calaf= CORELLI CORELLI = Calaf. Turandot cantada por Birgit Nilsson y Franco CORELLI inigualable.
La Ópera no es algo aparte, forma parte del entorno en la Música Académica, al final estas composiciones fueron creadas por hombres geniales e imperfectos (artistas) quienes fueron los verdaderos MAESTROS en darle a la Música un lenguaje, gracias a las partituras y escritura de notas para así traducir sus ideas, y que estas fueran expresadas por personas que entendieran ese lenguaje, ya en el Siglo XX, con los aparatos necesarios para grabar el sonido, muchos grandes intérpretes accedieron a interpretar y preservar las Más Grandes Obras de la Música, para que ahora, en este gran mar de información e historia llamado Internet, estén para quedarse y sean apreciadas por las siguientes generaciones, solo así el pasado no es tan lejano.
Es una grabación de estudio, que me gusta, pero lo más valorable es oirla en un teatro sin micrófonos ni ingenieros de sonido. El mejor tenor que ha existido, para mi y para muchos, fue Miguel Fleta, elegido por Toscanini y posiblemente por el mismo Puccini, para el estreno de Turandot. Me encanta Pavarotti, pero Fleta más.
Just keep your opinions to yourself we don`t give a toss what any of you say. Pavarotti is an will always be Magnificent and if you don`t like that TOUGH.
Franco Corelli’s Calaf is the best: His voice was made for the rôle, being a natural tenor dramatico. Pavarotti’s is good, though, but I have a feeling there’s a lot of sentimentality that comes attached with it. A similar style of tenor to Pavarotti was Jussi Björling, and I think his version of Nessun Dorma is also better than Pavarotti’s.
Short memories indeed! Let me put it this way. CALAF in TURANDOT ideally should be sung by a FULL Spinto tenor. Pavarotti is perhaps the pre-eminent FULL Lyric Tenor for this music but Franco Corelli surpasses him because of the power, sonority, & beauty of his FULL Spinto voice. But since 1980 Pavarotti takes the honors since Corelli had all but retired a few years earlier. The late Giacomini & Bonisolli were stiff competition for Pavarotti post 1980 & were Spinto tenors but what they had in power could not quite match the beauty of Luciano’s sound. O.K. Pavarotti was a Full lyric & nearly the best for NESSUN DORMA for his type of tenor. Bjorling, also a Full lyric was the only one of this type of tenor to match Pavarotti in my opinion.
I am getting really tired of comments that do not comprehend the difference between Full Lyric Tenor voice & a Full Spinto tenor voice. In regards Pavarotti & Corelli EACH were in NESSUN DORMA equally superb WITHIN THEIR RESPECTIVE TYPE OF TENOR This is what I was getting at in my comment regarding NESSUN DORMA. My preference for a SPINTO tenor for the CALAF & NESSUN DORMA a is just my personal opinion & does not intend to denigrate Pavarotti although I FEEL his instrument was better suited to more lyric repertoire. An example of this is his recording of L’AMICO FRITZ with Freni which is hopefully still available & in my opinion is some of the greatest lyric tenor singing I have yet to experience.
@@margaretsmith8337 what does" belt up" mean? Ok last time: Corelli was the best in this aria UNTIL Pavarotti made it his signature aria during the 80s and 90s. There are numerous recordings from that time which I find better , more refines,, more powerful,, more mature than this one. Pretty much what you said. Right tenor, wrong performance to present as THE BEST.
Pavarotti is at the pinnacle of his vocal prowess here.
For years my dad tried to get me to appreciate him but I resisted. Only recently have I understood
yes to this
I will be 75 years of age this month and Luciano Pavarotti is the best tenor I've heard so far.

There's one dude who overshadowed Pavarotti. His name is Corelli whom Pavarotti admired in his young age when he was starting.
