I was listening to this remarkable performance of Rigoletto in 1972 at the Met today, and I noticed just how glorious his voice was that day. Here we have an excerpt of him singing the two B flats from the Bella figlia dell'amore quartet. Listen to the beautiful diminuendo he executes on that second B flat!
Gilda is sung by Joan Sutherland
Rigoletto is sung by Matteo Manuguerra
Maddalena is sung by Joann Grillo

Yes indeed; 1:00 to about 1:08 is marvelous especially--but what a great cast. I think that also can generate inspired singing. Thanks for this one--more Pavarotti live at this time in his career is very instructive.

The only young tenor who even slightly touches Pavarotti is Joseph Calleja, and I still consider Pavarotti better by a long way. Pavarotti got alot of publicity, but the reason he was able to be promoted well was because he was so good. He declined heavily and tarnished his reputation, but before all this, he was an incredible tenor, better than those you mentioned.

Sounds like a lovely diminuendo on the high note.

Some people would suggest that Pavarotti sang monotonously and paid no attention to dynamic contrast whatsoever. This blatantly proves them wrong.

Yes, they tried to have the three principals of the Decca recording a year earlier. Unfortunately Sherill Milnes only got through two and a half of the four performances. I have recordings of three of the four, the one in which Milnes cancelled doesn't seem to exist on record.

Very nice! "Smorzatura?" I'm not sure I've heard that one before :-P sounded like a lovely de-crescendo though!! :-D
