CD ReviewsAn exquisite recital Ralph Moore | Bishop's Stortford, UK | 12/07/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am surprised to find, at this time of writing, that there are no other reviews of this wondrous disc - the most beautiful recital of its kind that I know. I have only to hear the first few notes of the opening Bononcini aria and I am transported back thirty-five years to when I first heard that inimitable voice - here at its most elegant, classical and restrained. The pianissimi - and there are many - are simply breath-taking, especially those in the first two songs. Pavarotti's breath control is a thing of wonder and, as ever, his intonation and legato are flawless. In 1973, Pavarotti was in his long prime and here chose an intimate, smaller-scale programme that is by no means short on variety or excitement. There are too many lovely things to list them all, but here's one to sample: the long A at the end of the Handel aria, meltingly sustained, first swelled then fined back to a thread of voice - magic! Bonynge's accompaniment has little to do with modern ideas on original instruments and is unashamedly lush and romantic - but by no means tasteless or gross; he matches Pavarotti in the delicacy of the sound he elicits from the Orchestra del Teatro Communale do Bologna. Pavarotti is in his most plangent and sensitive voice; his interpretations so moving in their restraint. Buy it; it's a souvenir of a great singer at his best - and a million miles removed from the showmanship of his later years." My favorite of all dee1153 | Shreveport, LA USA | 03/27/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I agree 100% with the 1st reviewer. I have dozens of Pavarotti's discs, and this is absolutely my favorite. His breath control in "Care Selve" is the 8th wonder of the world. Pure perfection.
Buy this album! This is THE BEST from the Great One. I defy anyone, after listening to this, to dispute the fact that this man's voice was the most majestic ever to grace the planet. He was the Mount Everest ... the pinnacle of tenors. If anyone ever deserved the title "Maestro" it was him. Surely, the angels are jealous." |
