Music reviews of Luciano Pavarotti - Donizetti Arias ~ Una furtiva lagrima
Music Review: Achingly, Heartwrenchingly, Beautiful
Rating: 5 Stars
Pavarotti is arguably the most gifted and accomplished operatic tenor of the twentieth century. While other contemporary tenors may be stylistically flawless and a joy to listen to, Pavarotti is in a class by himself. He drifts effortlessly from the low, lyrical passages to soaring high notes which have a tendency to sound strained when anyone but Pavarotti (and of course, the incredible Mario Lanza) attempts them. As many of the reviews mention, this IS Pavarotti in his prime, and this is most apparant in his flawless command of the stratospheric high C's. He's not known as "The King of the High C's" for nothing! In addition, unlike many opera compilations that trundle out the most overplayed snipits from the most well known works, Una Furtiva Lagrima gives us some of the greatest arias from one of opera's most talented composers, Donizetti. This album is a celebration not only of Pavarotti's brilliance, but Donizetti's as well. For an introduction to opera, this album is great. For an introduction to Donizetti, this album is excellent. And for a showcase of the power and range of one of opera's greats, this album is fantastic!
Description of Luciano Pavarotti - Donizetti Arias ~ Una furtiva lagrima
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.This CD contains arias recorded by Pavarotti between 1967 and 1975, and it would not be an overstatement to say that it is probably the most beautiful CD by a tenor ever released. This was Pavarotti in his early prime--indeed, a couple of the arias are first bloom. It covers music from eight Donizetti operas, from the almost startlingly virtuosic "Ah! mes amis..." (La Fille du Régiment), with its nine perfectly placed high Cs, through the ever popular "Una furtiva lagrima" (L'Elisir d'Amore) and three stunners from La favorita to Edgardo's final scene from Lucia and more. But the two priceless pieces of music here are from the little-known Il Duca d'Alba and Don Sebastiano, two arias of such exquisite beauty that were they the only things Donizetti had ever composed--or the only extant singing by Pavarotti--both would still be considered great. This is a treasure trove. Grab it. --Robert Levine
