How do you get to the Met? Practice . The applause you hear is for sheer musical genius, God given voices and years of practice to sustain it all for the glory of performance. This is peerless.
Both Pavarotti and Sutherland are in superb voice here. I am amazed to remember how I took such magnificent singing for granted at the time, never suspecting that I had been witnessing the very end of the last era of great singing...
Genial, maravilloso, bello !!! Una interpretación magistral, sublime. Un homenaje al más grande de los maestros, GIUSSEPPE VERDI !!! Enjoy the Opera, VIVA VERDI !!!
Dame Sutherland's technique was flawless. Pavarotti's wasn't that great when he started his career as young tenor and she taught him many things including how to breath while singing. He was very grateful to her.
Disumano! Che poi tutti si sperticano giustamente in lodi alla Sutherland e Pavarotti, ma qui tutti e quattro spaccano... E se quello che ci arriva da una conversione video sono emozioni così forti non riesco ad immaginare cosa deve essere stato essere lì presenti...
