I was lucky enough to hear him while he was in his first innocent bloom. Although he continued to be magnificent there was a special quality in his early performances before the world had intruded as it always does with exceptional artists.
Ich kenne keinen Tenor auf diesem Planeten, der dieses Stück so himmlisch singt wie Pavarotti. Immer und immer wieder kann ich es mir anhören, und jedesmal gibt er einem kurz das Gefühl, im Paradies zu sein. Danke!
It's 1967. The full performance was at La Scala, with the amazing Leontyne Price. (Amazing is an understatement). Karajan is inspired. Pavarotti is gleaming perfection.
@@jbut1208 looks like Pavarotti singing no?.....a little tongue in cheek comment friend, i have the whole performance on VHS originally, subsequently DVD...every facet and singer is wonderful....he shines like the sun that's all.
Verdis Musik mit Pavarottis Stimme ist höchste Beglückung; einfach himmlisch! Nach meinem Empfinden gibt es keinen Tenor, der ihm in dieser Partie das Wasser reichen kann. Diese Aufnahme ist eine Perle!
Wow!!! This is pure perfection!!! Even Karajan is just enjoying the beautiful music and voice! I can see, even he is amazed by this man, THE MAN! Thank you Luciano! :-)
No cabe duda que el canto más impresionante que me ha tocado es la voz de este hombre, nadie se le compara!! Impresionante!! se me enchina la piel! Bravo Luciano Pavarotti!!
His voice brings me to tears, over and over again... I was so blessed to hear him like 3times in the Met; and 4 times in concerts... Every time I go to the opera I miss this fabulous artist more and more again... RIP Maestro.
What a great singer he was . He could bring tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. To hear him live gave his voice an extra dimension. When I saw him in Boheme I sent a letter to say that the 16 of us who went to the ROH enjoyed the performance. A few days later 16 autographed photos arrived with a nice letter. We were all taken aback that LP had taken the time to do this. This was in 1975. Henry Webb
What a wonderful memory! I saw him in recital in Sarasota, FL twice - the first when he was young, before the great fame, but just after a lot of recording (Sutherland and the Requiem). I have the LP of this performance but it is wonderful to see him. He had the low range when written, but OH his top. And then, rare among tenors, he actually sings the pianissimos Verdi intended. He had voice and musicianship.
Meglio di Pavarotti Corelli, ma questa non e' una novita' data la superiorita' vocale scenica del tenore Anconetano ua-cam.com/video/QPPHaTfe1oI/v-deo.html
May 2016... Listening to young Pavarotti gives me the shivers! His voice was so rich and full of emotion for one so young! Funny I never noticed his body size only his voice!!!
Karajan lays down the perfect tapestry for Luciano's thrilling young voice to float on here - this is as close to musical perfection as it gets on stage. Still, some find a way to give thumbs down. May excellence live on and hover untouched by the Philistines!
Wrong. VERDI "lay down the perfect tapestry." Not the conductor. All the notes, rhythm, dynamics, phrase marks and tempos are indicated in the score, by the COMPOSER. Please give credit where it is due.
He has that voice when he hits a high note it sound like coming from somewhere. It was so Unique. Thank God we have videos like this that shows who he is in the music industry. SALUTE!!!
Used to be, Jussi Bjoerling was the Tenor's Tenor. He now shares that glory with Pavarotti. Two incomparable artists with gorgeous sound, wonderful artistry and vocal technique to burn.
His natural vibrato is just perfect. Some go over the top with theirs, but LP's is natural, never contrived or overblown for operatic effect. A lot of other tenors also sound like they're in a box while trying to make their voice opera-ish...but LP was a natural, like he was riding a bicycle. Had the fortune to see him live in 1998. He came out for five encores. Every jaw was dropped....no one wanted the evening to end.
How young he and Karajan are. A lifetime has passed and for me it feel like only a few years. That world is gone. There are always competent singers, musicians, artists but now they are mostly tools of marketing for profit. Then it was about perfection, genius and artistry. There were true Divas and Maestros. Now just performers and mass production. .
There will always be perfectionists and geniuses, don’t worry. Just need the right environment to help them thrive. But on your point about marketing - no bigger marketeer than Karajan!!
Listen to this recording and tell me he wasn't the greatest singer who ever lived, and I would call the man a liar. Simply stupendous singing, an artist in his prime doing what he does best.
It's like he has to hold back on the power of his voice, and he does it so well. Can't imagine the control that must take. Not a singer here, just happy to have heard this.
My brain once again exploded while watching this. I got excited again and inspired to sing. His a WOW even when he was not as we know him and even got better. Who else has this vocal power. This is BEYOND expectation. Beyond imagination. GODS OF GODS OF TENORS. This world would surely not experience another. Even if we search the parallel universes we shall not find one. THERE'S NO WORD TO EXPRESS HIM.
When he was singing in Philadelphia, I had an opportunity to play this early "Ingemisco" for him. He tended to be critical of his own performances, but he seemed pleased with this until the 3:12 timing mark, when he muttered "No! I make diminuendo for 'dextra' but I close 'ah' and sounds like 'oh.'" Only when he heard the final "in parte dextra" did he say, "See? Dex-TRAH. Is correct there."
@Jay Tamayo: He wrote the Forewords to my biographies of Rosa Ponselle (Doubleday, 1982) and Richard Tucker (E. P. Dutton, 1984), and he joined Sara (Mrs. Richard) Tucker and me for a book-signing event in the Miami area, so I came to know him well. The thumbnail photo at the left is of the two of us at the Miami-area event.
Anyone else watch this and the Jonas Kaufman back to back? Both are hauntingly beautiful so no need to pick favorites…We are so blessed to have this. What an inspiration in dark times.
You people keep arguing and I keep listening to this and weeping . . . Von Karajan waving his swan's arms like a dancer to Luciano's blissful, sacred voice. Wake up! This is music for the dead, an opera to end all suffering and discord, by the greatest operatic composer who ever lived!
And for those below spewing filth about size: while it's true that having the belly helps, it should be noted that in Pavarotti's early days, audiences expected him to sound terrible because he was "too thin to be a tenor." Find one of his 1963-66 recordings and tell me he sounds weak, or too quiet. The man could blow the doors out in a concert hall even then.
YES Someone said they saw him singing outside and they were ten feet in front of him and the ground shook when he sang, There won't be another one like him. Inour time or any time.
When coming to the high notes, you can see the endeavor in the face of many tenors. When watching Pavarotti, there is nothing - he just opened his mouth a litte mit more. You recognize the easiness of his perfomance, the notes just coming out of his mouth naturaly. That´s the difference.
Even years later when time and age took its tole on him. He could still sing this better than most others. His level was so high that even when diminished his sound was amazing. Just listen to his Met performance of Aida in 2001 at 66 years old amazing.
Hm, looking at Karajan and Paverotti here, there's not very much doubt which one of 'em raided the opera house kitchen and ate all the pies :-D (Just kidding! Pav was a magnificently talented man - even if not exactly a diet guru!)
This was filmed at La Scala in 1967 and how astonishingly beautiful Pavarotti sounded in those days amazes me every time I listen to this.
I was lucky enough to hear him while he was in his first innocent bloom. Although he continued to be magnificent there was a special quality in his early performances before the world had intruded as it always does with exceptional artists.
i so heartily agree❤️

Sencillamente maravilloso, Karajan y Pavarotti, dos de las personalidades artististicas más importantes del siglo XX.
Magnificent interpretation of that great tenor luciano pavarotti in his youth during the 1960s. Awesome.
He is the greatest for ever in italian classical music literature.
It's hard to imagine anything more beautiful than this.

Absolute perfection! Pavarotti is at his best ever.
Unbelievably beautiful.
This is the best version of Pavarotti. How clean! Wow
Due immensi GENI delle loro rispettive arti! Mai più potranno esistere due "assoluti" simili....
The voice! The voice! A gift from God.
It wasn't just his celestial voice, it was his mighty spirit.
Omg I miss him so much. The purest instrument ever.

So pure. He has always been my hero. He always will be.

il momento più alto di Pavarotti...superbo sotto la direzione di Karajan,ma inarrivabile sotto quella di Abbado alla Minerva....
When he was singing in Philadelphia, I had an opportunity to play this early "Ingemisco" for him. He tended to be critical of his own performances, but he seemed pleased with this until the 3:12 timing mark, when he muttered "No! I make diminuendo for 'dextra' but I close 'ah' and sounds like 'oh.'" Only when he heard the final "in parte dextra" did he say, "See? Dex-TRAH. Is correct there."
Wow! What instrument did u play! Tell us more. What did he sound live?
Thanks God Hannibal Lecter didn't watch him there.

Pavarotti at its beginnings, in full respect of the traditional Italian technique that feeds his interpretation.
