Nessun Dorma (Pavarotti, NY 1980)

Luciano Pavarotti singing from a concert in January 1980 with the NY Philharmonic cond. by Zubin Mehta. Compare this performance with other (later) dates; Pavarotti here is clearly still in absolute total command. This was part of the "Live from Lincoln Center" 30th anniversary special.

Maria Callas (Μαρία Κάλλας): Madama Butterfly - Puccini

Passing Through: www.youtube.com - Friends, Please visit my Poet friend "Passing Through's" YouTube channel: www.youtube.com , and support him - Thanks :) Un Bel Di Vedremo Madama Butterfly (Madame Butterfly) is an opera in three acts (originally two acts) by Giacomo Puccini, with an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. The opera was based partly on a short story by John Luther Long, which was turned into a play by David Belasco; it was also based on the novel, Madame Chrysanthème (1887), by Pierre Loti. The opera belongs essentially to the city of Nagasaki, and according to American scholar Arthur Groos was based on events that actually occurred there in the early 1890s.

Puccini- Nessun Dorma (with English subtitles) - Francesco Merli 1937

The great Italian tenor Francesco Merli sings Nessun Dorma on the first complete recording ever made of Turandot in 1937. He doesn't hold the high note at the end, he just pauses for a moment on the semiquaver that Puccini wrote. There is actually no textual justification for holding on to this note as all tenors now do, indeed have to do whether they like to or not. I don't know who started it, of course it is fun and also very exciting, But it is not what Puccini had in mind, and often singers make this a heroic showpiece when it is actually a lyrical nocturne. If we look at the text the ideas are more lyrical and the concept of victory is only to be found in the final notes. Personally I don't miss the held high note, but many will no doubt not appreciate Merli's sensitive, poetic nocturnal interpretation and beautiful voice.... well that's their problem! I don't go to the opera just to hear high notes, do you? I'm sorry about the way it is cut at the end, that's how the CD was tracked! Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o, Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore e di speranza. Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me, il nome mio nessun saprà! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò quando la luce splenderà! Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio che ti fa mia! (Il nome suo nessun saprà!... e noi dovrem, ahime, morir!) Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! vincerò, vincerò!

Luciano Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma (1080pHD)

FOLLOW OUR NEW PAGE FOR THE GREAT LUCIANO PAVAROTTI IN FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com :))))) Pavarotti became even better known throughout the world in 1990 when his rendition of Giacomo Puccini's aria, "Nessun Dorma" from Turandot was taken as the theme song of BBC's TV coverage of the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy. The aria achieved pop status and remained his trademark song. This was followed by the hugely successful Three Tenors concert, held on the eve of the World Cup final at the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome with fellow tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras and conductor Zubin Mehta, which became the biggest selling classical record of all time. Luciano Pavarotti Nessun Dorma ITALIAN Nessun dorma, nessun dorma ... Tu pure, o Principessa, Nella tua fredda stanza, Guardi le stelle Che tremano d'amore E di speranza.

Enrico Caruso & Nellie Melba - O Soave Fanciulla (1906)

The two greatest of greats from the golden ages of the Opera, Caruso and Melba, sings a famous duet from La Boheme, "O Soave Fanciulla". Recorded in 1906. This is the only German Pressing record in my collection. I think it was released in early-1910s (Pre-WWI). Played on my Victrola with a Mica Soundbox. Although I like this version, I prefer the unpublished 1912 version of this song with Caruso and Geraldine Farrar. (I will upload this for comparison)

Luciano Pavarotti - Che Gelida Manina (1972 live)

Luciano Pavarotti (1935-2007) Born and died in Modena, Italy, Pavarotti was an Italian tenor who was known for his seemingly effortless high Cs during the early stage of his career. Here he sings 'Che gelida manina' in a live 1972 performance of Puccini's La Boheme. The piece includes a flawless 6 second long high C. Feel free to rate and comment...but no spamming

Giacomo Puccini - "O mio babbino caro"

Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini (1858-1924) "O mio babbino caro", Aria (soprano) from the opera "Gianni Schicchi" (1918) O mio babbino caro ("Oh my dear papa") is an aria from the opera Gianni Schicchi (1918) by Giacomo Puccini. It is sung by Lauretta after tensions between Schicchi and his prospective in-laws have reached a breaking point that threatens to separate her from Rinuccio, the boy she loves. It provides a contrasting interlude expressing lyrical simplicity and single-hearted love in the atmosphere of hypocrisy, jealousy, double-dealing and feuding in medieval Florence of Puccini's only comedy, and it provides the only set-piece in the through-composed conversational musical give-and-take. Performed by Montserrat Caballé (soprano). Libretto (Lyrics) ---------------- Italian (original) O mio babbino caro Mi piace è bello, bello Vo'andare in Porta Rossa a comperar l'anello! Sì, sì, ci voglio andare! e se l'amassi indarno, andrei sul Ponte Vecchio, ma per buttarmi in Arno! Mi struggo e mi tormento! O Dio, vorrei morir! Babbo, pietà, pietà! Babbo, pietà, pietà! English (translation) O my dear papa He pleases me, and is handsome, handsome I want to go to Porta Rossa to buy the ring! Yes, yes, I want to go there! And if my love were in vain, I would go to the Ponte Vecchio and throw myself in the Arno! I am aching, I am tortured! Oh God, I'd like to die! Father, have pity, have pity! Father, have pity, have pity!

Puccini -- Il Tabarro

Piero Cappuccilli as Michele. Sylvia Sass as Giorgetta. In this moving scene, the middle-aged Michele tries to rekindle the affection of his adulterous younger wife Giorgetta by evoking her past love for him and recalling happier days before the death of their child. He fails, and is left alone with his suspicions that Giorgetta is in love with another man (she is), but he cannot figure out who it is.
