    That’s Edgardo. His singing says it all. Now on stage you would have to really work to make it believable, but that’s why we got brains and imagination.

    Lovely singing … but here’s my favorite Pav duet:

    This is not Edgardo singing, this is GOD singing.

  • iltenoredigrazia says:

    It’s a pity that we so often end up remembering some singers by their last years rather than by the extraordinary singing they did during their peak years.

  • tannengrin says:

    ah, the good old Norddeutsche Rundfunk. They do have taste in Hamburg.

  • Kashania says:

    Simply glorious. There are no tenors alive today who can sing this music quite the same way.

  • BassFioratura says:

    Pure magnificence, around the same vintage as his recording with Sutherland, but this feels more genuine. Probably the more intimate recital setting, and the control on the high B!

  • Shadbolt says:

    Is that Wustman at the piano?

    What I noticed was the face; in his later concerts, there was always a sort of deer-in-the-headlights, sort of terrified look in his eyes, and always this wash of relief that swept over him after a successful high note. Here…he’s just SO focused on what he’s doing; it’s like he’s a thousand miles away, but so completely zeroed in on what he’s doing, it’s just incredible. What a voice.
