Dieses Stück ist mit das schönste, das je geschrieben wurde. Es rührt mich, obwohl zigmal gehört, immer noch zu Tränen. Danke Maestro für dieses Lied für die Ewigkeit.
It does help if you know what they are singing about though..... This is at a wedding - the blond woman has just been forced by the old guy (her brother) to marry someone she doesnt love. (the young bearded guy). Her real lover (Pavarotti) suddenly appears and denounces her. The black woman is her friend and the young slim guy is the priest. The action stops and they all sing about how they are feeling. It's awesome. :)
Pavarotti was young and june was also incredible. I am sad that i cant see pav anymore. He was my hero and light of my miserable life. God bless luciano's soul
I have such fond memories of hearing June Anderson in great bel canto operas in the 1990's.... I Purtani, Lucia, Donna del Lago, etc. Her unique plangent timber soared above the tuttis like nothing I have heard today.
I also think of "the boys" with this piece, but between goofball live acts, and Bugs Bunny cartoons, a whole LOT of kids got introduced to major classical music that might have otherwise been overlooked. My mom used to have her Caruso records playing all the time when we would come home from grade school, and I developed a LOVE for Italian Opera that I relish today. I don't know what they are singing about, but the music is SO huge and complex, the voices so grand...nothing today comes close.
My wife and I were privileged to have Shirley and her husband (Lou LaMonica) as dinner guests in our home some years ago. (About 25 or 30.) A wonderful once-in-a-lifetime event. She was totally charming and funny, as you'd expect. A cherished memory.
The guy's name is Piero Cappuccilli, one of the best baritones ever! Yes, the gesture of Pavarotti is quite unhappy, but maybe due to the ( stupid) italian habit to applaud for themselves on stage. Anyway, a great performance, everybody is magnificiant!
He avoids that guy's hand b/c he's obviously not done applauding that June cuteness :-). I love Pavi but in all on-stage performances w/other men he does his darnedest to put their voice in the shade, haha. But I still love him SO much... he makes me not eb afraid of dying- I hope it'll be possible to meet him on the flip side.
Chi mi frena il mio furore E la man che al brando corse? Della misera in favore Nel mio petto un grido sorse! E' mio sangue! l'ho tradita, Ella sta fra morte e vita... Ahi! che spegnere non posso I rimorsi del mio cor.) (Io sperai che a me la vita Tronca avesse il mio spavento... Ma la morte non m'aita... Vivo ancor per mio tormento! Da' miei lumi cadde il velo, Mi tradì la terra e il cielo! Vorrei pianger, ma non posso... M'abbandona il pianto ancor!) (Qual terribile momento! Più formar non so parole... Densa nube di spavento Par che copra i rai del sole! Come rosa inaridita Ella sta fra morte e vita... Chi per lei non è commosso Ha di tigre in petto il cor.)
I can't listen to this song without thinking of it's use in the Daffy Duck cartoon "Book Revue"! Specifically the part where the judge sings "YOU are GUILTY, and the sentence is LIFE!"
Simplemente... iii GRANDIOSO !!!!... Música CELESTIAL. Interpretado por GENIOS de la LÍRICA Universal; Pavarotti, Anderson y todos ellos. Hay que ver la Opera completa de G. Donizetti amigos. Saludos de Perú.
thanks jose. :) I dont know if its the ONLY way but yes theres no doubt it enhances the experience. People who dont speak the language of a particular opera may not know this, but most opera DVDs have subtitles - and most live performances have a screen with the English translation. And opera CDs usually come with booklets where you can follow the plot in up to 4 different languages! So if you love the music, go on - get the full experience. :)
it may be this clip - i have this on vhs and dvd and can hear the voices much more clearly. the whole concert is pretty good - good lucia/"verrano a te" duet b/w june and pavarotti.
Ive seen several performances of Lucia Sextet (Di Lammermoor) but I have to say thet this is one of the best, not just Pavarotti is great but the Sopranos voice is perfect.
She did the role of Pat Nixon in Paris Opera's production of Nixon in China last year. It was her debut in the role and she was very well received. The production also included Sumi Jo and Madame Mao. These "old pro" ladies both did very well by all accounts.
Pretty good performance; done as a concert piece rather than in the middle of an opera. Luciano had to throttle back a bunch or he'd have blown the rest out of the hall.
Yes, you are right. Maybe I exagerated when I said this was the ONLY way to enjoy it. At least I can say I have learned a lot everytime I buy a new opera CD with the booklet, so I can read the words. I can give you many examples, like the tragedy of Canio in Pagliacci, or the touching Vissi d'arte of the second act of Tosca, or the beautiful Di provenza il mare, il suol of La Traviata. Thank you for your reply. Greetings from Mexico.
Huh? I heard Pavarotti and Cappuccilli live at Paris Opera about the time this video was made. I well remember the easy size of Cappuccilli's voice but not Pavarotti's. Pavarotti didn't have a monster size voice like Atlantov, or King, or Corelli. It was plenty big enough for his appropriate repertoire but nothing special. He was a quality not quantity singer.
@rossmcl177 Congratulations, on my opinion this is the only way to enjoy opera. If you don't understand what they are saying, there is no way to enjoy.
I know it sounds wrong, but it's actually in the score on both occasions for the drums to come on the downbeat the bar before you're used to hearing them. I also thought that this was a mistake until I heard at least a couple of other recordings with the same thing.
Good but there are better renditions of this piece like the famous sextet with Callas and De Stefano directed by VonKarayan with the famous encore or the one with young Carreras and Ricciarelli
Verrett in that gown and with that voice as Alisa is a waste and an insult. Still, great performance by all. Re: Pavarotti- that fat wop really COULD SING, couldn't he??? What a voice!
Dieses Stück ist mit das schönste, das je geschrieben wurde. Es rührt mich, obwohl zigmal gehört, immer noch zu Tränen. Danke Maestro für dieses Lied für die Ewigkeit.
Par-delà cette distribution stellaire, n’oublions jamais le génie de ce compositeur d’exception

A luxury having Verrett in this sextet !!! Cappuccilli, Pavarotti, Anderson !!!
Großartig, was für Musik was für ein Oper , unglaublich !
I love when Anderson begins to sing.... ❤️
Luciano e Piero - due grandi indimenticabili maestri!
Pavarotti was young and june was also incredible. I am sad that i cant see pav anymore. He was my hero and light of my miserable life. God bless luciano's soul
❤❤💕💕💕💕
Pavarotti was not young here
I have such fond memories of hearing June Anderson in great bel canto operas in the 1990's.... I Purtani, Lucia, Donna del Lago, etc. Her unique plangent timber soared above the tuttis like nothing I have heard today.
Brava!!! Magnifico!!!
💖💖💖💖💖💖
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely wonderful. The great voices of opera past! Thanks for posting...
Che perdita terribile la morte di Pavarotti, noi siamo tutti inconsolabili... ❤️
What an amazing ineup of incredible artists
Fantastic

Such stellar cast!!!!!!!!!
Shirley Verrett's slightly husky but rich voice adds worlds to the tone color of this sextet.
My wife and I were privileged to have Shirley and her husband (Lou LaMonica) as dinner guests in our home some years ago. (About 25 or 30.) A wonderful once-in-a-lifetime event. She was totally charming and funny, as you'd expect. A cherished memory.

He is applauding his colleagues, not himself.
Maravilloso, no pierde su encanto esta puesta
He avoids Capucilli's hand because he is applauding them. It's a generous gesture.
Bad manners and egotistical . It was a ensemble not a solo.
Maybe an ensemble but it was Pavarotti’s concert , his 30th anniversary concert in fact!
Bravo Bello Musica Inmortal !!!!
FANTASTIC
Bellissimo !
inolvidable lo vi en el teatro colon cuando vino a la argentina bravo luciano
Sembra di essere in un sogno, sei voci di tale calibro e tutte insieme, meraviglioso. Cappuccilli !!!!!!
Greatest singers!!!

Chi mi frena il mio furore
E la man che al brando corse?
Della misera in favore
Nel mio petto un grido sorse!
E' mio sangue! l'ho tradita,
Ella sta fra morte e vita...
Ahi! che spegnere non posso
I rimorsi del mio cor.)
(Io sperai che a me la vita
Tronca avesse il mio spavento...
Ma la morte non m'aita...
Vivo ancor per mio tormento!
Da' miei lumi cadde il velo,
Mi tradì la terra e il cielo!
Vorrei pianger, ma non posso...
M'abbandona il pianto ancor!)
(Qual terribile momento!
Più formar non so parole...
Densa nube di spavento
Par che copra i rai del sole!
Come rosa inaridita
Ella sta fra morte e vita...
Chi per lei non è commosso
Ha di tigre in petto il cor.)
Incredibile!!!!
What a cast, mamma mia !
Bravi tutti!

There is no balance between the voices. Some are singing louder, others can hardly be heard.
Agree
90ties the golden age of the entire world
Sem palavras❤

Una delle arie più bella della lirica.
ahhh thanks for sharing?
C'est de toute beauté !
artisti eccellenti e belli..

L’opera italiana: Cosa c’è di più difficile che una cosa semplice?
Looney Tunes and The Three Stooges bought me here
Dude, same thing. i remember that cartoon like it was yesterday, even though it was 40 years ago
@@Brendanslocumb Same here! Great childhood memories.
Tempo seems a little fast.
Exactly, this is not Larghetto
quelle classe cappuccilli...
Accidenti, addirittura Shirley Verrett nel ruolo di Alisa - come far cantare alla Callas "Fra Martino campanaro"... 🙂
They are all magnificent but it seems to be a little too fast.
Why can I not find this sextet with Sutherland/Pav/ et.al on You Tube? Was it taken down? Did I miss something???
@qawwi It was a Shemp, not a Curley, feature.
Sutherland rules!
Pavarotti bellowing
The great Shirley Verrett is wasted here. Which one is Furlanetto and is he related to Ferrucio? And what is Pavarotti chewing?
grande giuseppe sabbatini
lol

all bravo singers...but nobody of them is great!
3:53 the guy reaches for pavarottis hand and pavarotti avoids it
Il vocione di Pavarotti copre tutte le armonie delle altre pur pregevoli voci! Dovrebbe mettere la sordina!
That's all you could think of too, eh?
Menudo reparto
@rossmcl177 Congratulations, on my opinion this is the only way to enjoy opera. If you don't understand what they are saying, there is no way to enjoy.
yeah i know its just funny
M

SING “CHERN”! PWG
Paavoratti drowns everyone out.
Beautiful voices, but I haven't the slightest idea of what they're singing.
its a quartet no a sextet
june anderson stood out pavoratti avoided high notes good not matched well
Good but there are better renditions of this piece like the famous sextet with Callas and De Stefano directed by VonKarayan with the famous encore or the one with young Carreras and Ricciarelli
That was rude of Luciano
he was finishing a ham sandwich when he came out on stage
Just wish Pavarotti would stop chewing gum in public.
Omg, he was chewing gum in public? That's a terrible crime I can't believe it, he should've been arrested immediately
Fabulous performance! cwecub's comment is quite disgusting!
Great listening, but say what you like they ain't got what Callas, Di Stefano, and co had.
Warren Hamlet why, oh why, do we always have to invoke other singers when we have just listened to great singing. It’s like road rage.
Not liking June here at all. Wider than usual vibrato and sounds tired. Incidentally, she sounds like she's trying to be Sutherland. That's a kick!
babydrane yes here is not in her prime at all
Verrett in that gown and with that voice as Alisa is a waste and an insult. Still, great performance by all. Re: Pavarotti- that fat wop really COULD SING, couldn't he??? What a voice!
Needs to be redone 80 90s fashion maybe with a Detroit crack hit
