I love pava's voice! In those days it was so fresh and dynamic. Listen, how easy it sounds to sing. The best recording of aria Una furtiva lagrima is also by Luciano in youtube. Luciano was in so many productions that it's meanless, if he made some word mistakes :) Especially for me, who I am not able to translate every word. Hes voice is many times for me like an great instrument, whether I understood the words or not.
Canto 'Nina'. E' la prima volta quando devo imparare del registrazione d'un tenore (Bidu Sayao, che mi piace tanto, non lo canta nella sta tonalita')... Grazie Maestro! Bravissimo... Torno a cantare... devo imparare anche l'accompangnamento... Thank you OperaFriend22!!! Whole recital is great, wonderful and unforgettable, but this particular part helps me a lot in my singing study :)
What a wonderful recital! Thank you for sharing this - Pavarotti's voice is glorious here.I do think that at times his accompanist gets carried away, and doesn't listen closely enough to Pavarotti: rush, rush, rush - not surprising there are a few verbal slips.
Oh, I see, well if it's from Ed Rosen, then I have a copy in the same sound quality. He sang so many of these recitals with varying programs that it's often hard to distinguish which is which. I need to gather together all that I have and then perhaps I can start distributing them (for free of course), I have Miami, New Orleans, Dallas, Denver, a couple of New York ones. It's all fabulous music, everyone deserves to hear it.
To the "lyrics police": He could have sung the names of his family in place of any of the true lyrics and I would have thought it beautiful! Please listen to his tessitura, resonance, diaphragmic control and tone! Where are your sensibilities?
Isn't the Amazon copy his Royce Hall recital of the same year? I have just about every recording existing of his 1973 recitals (including the Carnegie Hall ones, and the one he did in 1972 as part of the New Jersey orchestra festival) and this one is among the best. If this one is on Amazon, could you direct me towards it? It might have a better sound copy than mine is, I doubt it though.
I have nothing against Pavarotti. And I have 2 different librettos for Griselda, and none of the differences are to do with this aria. Ive also sung in a student production of Griselda. And my singing teacher (who sang on a recording of Griselda and speaks fluent Italian) has listened to this video and also believes the first mistake at 2:15 to be "unintelligible". And has also never seen a single edition of the libretto with the Pavarotti sings it here.
@MrQwerty88.. great, so finally (third take) you read and understood my comment! what they do not need is a detailed comment on every place in which Pava misses this or that word, it's pointless. such detailed comment, moreover, can only be written by a pedant. and please try not to be so self-righteous... it's not nice. a detailed comment on Pava's vocal techinique would have been interesting though. have you none?
@MrQwerty88 I did not say you wrote something 'bad'. Words are important when one interprets -of course - but my argument showing your comment to be unhelpful is not touched by that. Please read again my explanation if you still wish to talk about the matter.
"Not helpful" ? It was posted as a point of interest.I commented about the words issue because it it relevent and important to the performance of the music. I said nothing bad. In comparrison to the rest of the comment posted for this video, mine is among the most HELPFUL.
How do you get to the conclusion that just because somebody isnt as familiar with the aria as you and me, means that they dont want to know about it. Just because they're not as familiar with it as you, doest mean that they dont care. And if my comments were so unhelpful, then explain to me why, combined, they have a Good Comment rating of +3 ? See, the thums up?
You are welcome, I am considering new methods of releasing the music so that it's more widely available, there's nothing I dislike more than selfish collectors hoarding rarities away for their personal gain.
"Helpful"? What you mean by its not "helpful"? Not helpful to what purpose? It IS helpful to people who want to know. Maybe not to you, but that doenst mean its not helpful. What about all the comments on this video from people who just say how good they think it is. Do you think those comments are "helpful" ?
@MrQwerty88 everybody who knows the aria (like myself) realises that, and those who don't do not care about this or that word. your enthusiastic, detailed post is not helpful.
@MrQwerty88 You still have not understood what I wrote. Perhaps repeating it will be of some help: "everybody who knows the aria (like myself) realises that, and those who don't do not care about this or that word". It should not be so hard to understand.
Yes he sings these song quite nicely, but he forgot the words to Per La Gloria d'Adorarvi. Listen at the 2:15 point. The words are meant to be "Chi Vagheggiar Può Mai" but he forgets the "Vagheggiar" and instead inserts something unintelligible. And again at 2:27 instead of "vagheggiar", he sings some other word. He also makes a mess of the words at 2:18, it is meant to be "e non, e non", but instead he sings "e, e, e non".
Simply some of the best singing ever recorded!
Brilliant!!
Finally we can see how good is this music!
How is it humanly possible that one man could have such a voice? Only God could have done this.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hes voice was so flexible then! great Pav!!

Beautiful 💐💐💐
Omg. That was just too beautiful for words...
Very nice job on Gia il sole dal Gange... One of my favourites
Canto 'Nina'.
E' la prima volta quando devo imparare del registrazione d'un tenore (Bidu Sayao, che mi piace tanto, non lo canta nella sta tonalita')...
Grazie Maestro! Bravissimo...
Torno a cantare... devo imparare anche l'accompangnamento...
Thank you OperaFriend22!!! Whole recital is great, wonderful and unforgettable, but this particular part helps me a lot in my singing study :)
That Per la gloria rendition was just about as perfectly sung as it gets.
How beautiful it is !
every opera singer, even the greatest, flubbed words at times.
What a wonderful recital! Thank you for sharing this - Pavarotti's voice is glorious here.I do think that at times his accompanist gets carried away, and doesn't listen closely enough to Pavarotti: rush, rush, rush - not surprising there are a few verbal slips.

I don't believe it was ever released commercially. I have certainly never seen it. I downloaded the entire recital from an opera podcast.
Yes, it's on Premieropera's podcast I believe.

He was the best...even the coaches at the Met, who some of them I knew, left him alone...(cause they knew)....
Bravo

@guupo Oh man, he does by far the best Una Furtiva Lagrima. You can see his face at the end to like "I fucking nailed that".

Okay, now you've become rude and insulting. There is no need for that. I'm done with you.
