A lot of people here criticizing how he signs it are clearly unaware of how the voice works. You sing with the voice you have. Trying to make your voice fit in a mold it's not meant for is inviting trouble. I am a spinto tenor myself and can attest how annoying it is if people try to make me sing "their" version of leggerio. My leggerio is their medium volume. Deal with it. And Pavarotti or anyone can sing whatever they want. This was beautiful!
Totally agree! The obsession with so-called historical authenticity is infuriating. We’d all basically trample one another to hear Pav sing Ferrando if he were still with us. I absolutely love hearing big lyric voices in lighter rep. Have you heard Vickers sing Messiah? It’s absolutely glorious.
Olivier De Ridder i agree! Grew up with the version of the young Alfredo Kraus. More than decade ago, before my 20’s, I can sing it really light and floating. But as the voice matured, the concept was not suitable to my voice. took some time and a really amazing teacher for me to get off that concept of leggero singing. Am happy singing the aria now, moving it, just like how Pava sings it here.
@@spencerdarby4696 well, there are arias that were composed for a kind of voice specifically for that role. If weren't the case, we would see baritone Nemorinos and contra-alto Violettas In this case, his tessitura and colour go well; but his breathing technique and tempo aren't: this piece is so uncomfortably slow that some tenors have to speed up the tempo just to keep going. I prefer this are sang by Francisco Araiza.
Contrary to what people in the comments section are saying about the piece. I think that the maestro sang this brilliantly. The again it may be me having good headphones. Jokes aside this is a really difficult piece to even start singing, to sing it with such class and dignity just show us how much of a heck of a bel canto singer he is. Reason being he sings beautifully.

This is my very favourite version of this beautiful aria, and I’ve heard very many, in very many opera houses and on recordings. What a great shame Pavarotti did not sing more of this repertoire. I do greatly appreciate those arie antiche which he did perform in concert and commit to record.
Thanks for the interesting comment. Another perspective is that this was the opening aria of the recital and he may have been pushing a bit. As the concert progressed, he became stronger and more relaxed.
I hear alot of people saying that this aria was too rushed or not properly sung. However i disagree, in fact this version of Un aura Amorosa is my favourite among the other many maestro's just for the fact that Pavarotti managed to capture the emotions of the song as it is to be sung,
the fact that it is very difficult to say that Mozart's arias. However, it is a real expertly manages to Pavarotti. See soloists that Mozart arias, many of whom have a different sound structure. Whatever the case, the biggest ever audio Luciano Pavarotti
HDF ! Pavarotti's acoustic color is higher than for example Caruso's. Caruso's is more like an heroic tenor you can see that at the end of Caruso's career, when he toned down his sound to be more an authentic heroic tenor. With Pavarotti's acoustic color it's easier to sing in passaggio !
Un aura amorosa del nostro tesoro, un dolce ristoro al cor porgerà, un dolce ristoro al cor porgerà, al cor che stupito da speme( speranza) e d'amore, da speme d'amore, d'una esca migliore bisogno non ha!
This is Mozart. Neither bel canto nor napolitan song. If you feel like listening to this aria sung as it should be you can look for either Araiza's or Simoneau's or Schraier's or Alva's or Mironov's or Wunderlich's or... renditon.
On the contrary, I happen to enjoy Pavarotti and Mozart very much, but not together. At least not this Mozart. And anyway, if someone had no musical taste, why would they dislike any opera video? They wouldn't even be here. If anything, someone with no musical taste would simply insist this performance is good BECAUSE it's Pavarotti, without allowing objective criticism (like the constant mezzo forte square phrasing that I don't think works for Un'aura amorosa)
This most beautiful voice singing this most beautiful aria....Luciano, you are killing me! I know you can sing with more expression.....think "Una furtiva lagrima".....pleeeeeeeaaaaase? At least Levine gave us some taste of the real feeling at the end.
Es Pavarotti!! Puedes cantar lo que quiera, pero este papel es estrictamente para un lirico-ligero tipo krauss, Anton Dermota, Fritz Wünderlich, Björling , famosos Mozartianos.
This is the period where his sound started to spread quite a bit...besides the tempo that is the only thing that is distracting in this video, but I think young Pav had the ability to sing practically anything in the lyric tenor rep.
nice sound.tempo is a little fast and his dynamics are more verdi than mozart.however ,the voice is so brilliant that it sounds impressing.levine plays the piano so good.
@RJAPONTEX pero tío si la partitura para piano y voz de esta Aria la tiene todo le mundo =) en cualquier libro de antologia de tenores viene para piano y voz =)
Opera singers don't use amplification unless they are in open big places. Theaters usually have great acoustics and that with good vocal technique helps the singer to sing without microphones.
Nevertheless, this theater looks way to big for his voice to carry. For example, the Metropolitan opera house seats 3,800 people and that already is a stretch for professionally trained singers. This looks to seat 10,000+ or more. The reason I asked is because it seems like there are several mics near the Master Pavarotti.
If you saw microphones, (I didn't see any), those are usually used to record in stereo so they can remaster the sound of the video or create CD's for sale. Also when a concert is broadcast live they have to use microphones for that purpose. Now if the singer has microphones in front, is usually to amplify their sound.
I think this is actually the Met Opera. You can read Lincoln Center recital, and the biggest hall there is the Met Opera. Either way the design is really recognizable.
+J. Hernandez Usually never, they sing a LOT louder than any normal humanbeing does. The acoustics of such places are designed for classical music in mind, this falling to the genre in that sense.
Esto es Mozart. Ni Verdi, ni bel canto ni canción napolitana. Para escuchar esta aria cantada "comme il faut" se puede acudir a un montón de versiones aquí, en RUclips, como las de Araiza, Simoneau, Schraier, Alva... Todas son estupendas pero si además de maestría buscamos belleza de timbre, entonces Wunderlich.
Pavarotti had a Great Voice Full of power, but not for Mozart Arian, without Lyric and Emotion, Look at the Rendition of Juan Diego Florez, he sings very soft and Sweet and Lyric modus
c'est vrai qu'il ne pouvait pas changer sa voix...et ç'aurait été bien dommage!!!Mais il faut savoir ce qui vous convient ou pas; d'ailleurs il a très peu chanté Mozart. A titre de comparaison , écoutez ce même air par un ténor mozartien comme Anton Dermotta...
Pav is the greatest singer of all time bit I don't think he can sing Mozart. Look carefully at his feet when he sings the high notes. He aint comfortable. Its so fast too. Id love to hear what he would do if it were slower. No sledge on Pav he is the greatest and usually stuck to what he was second to non at
Golden tone but musically wooden and shapeless (despite Levin dropping several hints in his sensitive accompaniment), like something to be "got through". Strange almost omission of "un" - but it must be idiomatic Italian. Not sure it is idiomatic Mozart!. But most versions on RUclips bring us closer to Mozart and Ferrando.
You must be fairly off the opera scene if ye think our great maestro is still alive, and I find you wrong as well man, Puccini sounds nothing like Verdi and Pavarotti is off earth.
it'obvious that pavarotti is dead, just an hironic direct speech, and it's obvious that verdi is different from puccini. i just meant the similar "melodramatic" way they can be sung. but mozart in my opinion is different. less heavy, more fresh
What is the essentials of music? just to express intention of composer? definitely no. It's just singing machine having no emotion. some people cry with scream, or sometimes just teardrop without any sound. music is same.
he sings all the same way, bombastic, relying only on his natural capacity, no feeling, no charm, just through out notes. please go to learn what Mozart is or remain all the time with Nessun dorma. just errible! comercial. Is embarassing
A lot of people here criticizing how he signs it are clearly unaware of how the voice works. You sing with the voice you have. Trying to make your voice fit in a mold it's not meant for is inviting trouble. I am a spinto tenor myself and can attest how annoying it is if people try to make me sing "their" version of leggerio. My leggerio is their medium volume. Deal with it. And Pavarotti or anyone can sing whatever they want. This was beautiful!
I so agree. His version is lovely. I've heard much worse.
well said
Totally agree! The obsession with so-called historical authenticity is infuriating. We’d all basically trample one another to hear Pav sing Ferrando if he were still with us. I absolutely love hearing big lyric voices in lighter rep. Have you heard Vickers sing Messiah? It’s absolutely glorious.

Coming back to this concert after a couple of years and it’s still incomparable!
I love his voice. Fills me with joy!!!
Je suis un grand FAN de Monsieur Pavarotti , vous serez toujours numéro 1 au monde avec cette voie qui donne des frissons , reposez en paix !!!!!!!
Hey, I would pay an arm and a leg to listen to maestro Pavarotti sing this live.
two splendid musicians each encouraging greatness in the other. simple presentation, and you can hear everything so clearly.
Contrary to what people in the comments section are saying about the piece. I think that the maestro sang this brilliantly. The again it may be me having good headphones. Jokes aside this is a really difficult piece to even start singing, to sing it with such class and dignity just show us how much of a heck of a bel canto singer he is.

La modulación y la sutileza en esta pieza no aparecen con Pavarotti
I say this is the most beautiful music I've ever heard
Le grand Pavarotti s'est rarement risqué dans Mozart, et il a bien fait! Ecoutez Anton Dermotta dans cet air et vous comprendrez...
Que lindo!!!, gran tenor era Luciano Pavarotti!!!!!, uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos!!!!
John Schofield sin duda alguna...
Me veo obligado y con todo el peso de tu comentario, a darte la razón mi buen amigo John Saludos.

Quel merveilleux concert ! Que de frissons ils nous donnent tous les deux: le plus grand ténor et un maestro qui restera inégalé au Met.

Beautiful singing!

He does an excellent job here. His voice is huge for the song though but hey that's life.
素晴らしい掛け合い。
ピアニストの手から星が出ているようだ！

Tesoro nostro indimenticabile!
Bella interpretación. A la altura del gran Mozart, técnicamente hablando. Luciano, uno de los más grandes tenores, sino el mejor, del siglo XX.
Técnicamente hablando en esta aria es un desastre. Mozart no se canta así.
Beautiful aria 🤩 ❤
Un aura amorosa del nostro tesoro, un dolce ristoro al cor porgerà, un dolce ristoro al cor porgerà, al cor che stupito da speme( speranza) e d'amore, da speme d'amore, d'una esca migliore bisogno non ha!
He could sing Happy Birthday like Verdi for all I care.
Bravo!-es gelingt wenigen "italienischen oder spanischen,oder,oder,oder"diese vertrackte Arie befriedigend zu singen!
Chapeau !
❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏Great Maestro
bellissima!
@Chewyfied i totally agree with you!!!!!! topi lehtipuu's interpretation was love.
karaoq55
No habra ninguno igual!!! Bravo Luciano!!!
This song is so hard that pavarotti also had a troble performing it..
Although I can't sing this song, his toughness was seen to me, too.
Magari c'i fossero oggi tenori che cantano cosi..e nella drammaturgia dell'opera questo canto.
Inascoltabile.
Bravissimo!
LEVINE=GENIUS
Да, с таким голосом можно исполнять Музыку Моцарта! Как задумано.
This is Mozart. Neither bel canto nor napolitan song. If you feel like listening to this aria sung as it should be you can look for either Araiza's or Simoneau's or Schraier's or Alva's or Mironov's or Wunderlich's or... renditon.
On the contrary, I happen to enjoy Pavarotti and Mozart very much, but not together. At least not this Mozart.
And anyway, if someone had no musical taste, why would they dislike any opera video? They wouldn't even be here.

The best rendition I've ever heard.
you need to listen to more renditions
SOOOOOOOOOO romantic. Not very classical. The writing is classical but the performance is romantic. GOod show. BRAVO
One must ask one's self why the two decided to do this piece at this speed. They made a choice, they had their reasons, like it or no.
Brevíssimo
This is nice...But, no one does this better than Luigi Alva.
AWESOME, you people who criticize are too picky!
Bravoo!! \o/
This tempo makes perfect sense
bravoooo
My love. 💐💐💐💖💖💖
This is the period where his sound started to spread quite a bit...besides the tempo that is the only thing that is distracting in this video, but I think young Pav had the ability to sing practically anything in the lyric tenor rep.
nice sound.tempo is a little fast and his dynamics are more verdi than mozart.however ,the voice is so brilliant that it sounds impressing.levine plays the piano so good.
@deepcure se llama JAMES LEVINE
Que tan difícil es esta canción? Tengo que cantarla para mi recital, se tiene que cantar tenue y delicado?
En este caso y para mi, en esta aria Luigi Alva es superlativo
Certifié intergalactique !
@RJAPONTEX pero tío si la partitura para piano y voz de esta Aria la tiene todo le mundo =) en cualquier libro de antologia de tenores viene para piano y voz =)

Does anyone know if a singer needs to be amplified for this LARGE hall?
Opera singers don't use amplification unless they are in open big places. Theaters usually have great acoustics and that with good vocal technique helps the singer to sing without microphones.

L'hai gia' detto. .
Esto es Mozart si señor! Ademas de saberlo, por ser así, te das cuenta por la musicalidad típica de Mozart
Te faltó kraus. Q también la canto maravillosamente bien.
September 1, 1945, Park Yeon-pung. Healthy vocalization.
'Relief'
why is he on the tips of his toes?
because he is an angel about to fly.
It helps to control breathing better. Most opera singers get on their toes a little bit especially when singing something high and difficult.
@Chewyfied Yeah, and I'm Liberace.....
Pavarotti had a Great Voice Full of power, but not for Mozart Arian, without Lyric and Emotion, Look at the Rendition of Juan Diego Florez, he sings very soft and Sweet and Lyric modus

Pav is the greatest singer of all time bit I don't think he can sing Mozart. Look carefully at his feet when he sings the high notes. He aint comfortable. Its so fast too. Id love to hear what he would do if it were slower. No sledge on Pav he is the greatest and usually stuck to what he was second to non at
no, everyone is to slow. Mozart wrote Andante Cantabile and 3/8.
Amazing but too fast!
no, everyone is to slow. Mozart wrote Andante Cantabile and 3/8.
Un'aura amorosa but is in prestissimo
no, everyone is to slow. Mozart wrote Andante Cantabile and 3/8.
Levine was playing a bit too fast. The whole thing sounds a bit rushed, despite the vocal quality.
Park and bark!! 😂
Está muy rápida
Coming from kill tony
Come on!!!! He sung a hole concert!!!!
Stupid question!!!!!!!!
Беспомощность
Topi Lehtipuu and Lawrence Brownlee sing this aria better in my opinion......and now I wait for the hate comments....
Beautiful voice, but much toooo fast...
Perfect skill! but.. there is no emotion...
Golden tone but musically wooden and shapeless (despite Levin dropping several hints in his sensitive accompaniment), like something to be "got through". Strange almost omission of "un" - but it must be idiomatic Italian. Not sure it is idiomatic Mozart!. But most versions on RUclips bring us closer to Mozart and Ferrando.
Too fast...
dear Pavarotti, everybody loves you but please don't sing mozart same as Puccini or Verdi...
Do you think he heard you?
You must be fairly off the opera scene if ye think our great maestro is still alive, and I find you wrong as well man, Puccini sounds nothing like Verdi and Pavarotti is off earth.
it'obvious that pavarotti is dead, just an hironic direct speech, and it's obvious that verdi is different from puccini. i just meant the similar "melodramatic" way they can be sung. but mozart in my opinion is different. less heavy, more fresh
Sobra voz
Falta estilo.
Jamás fue un tenor Mozartiano.
Los larguetos para las canzonetas
Horrible .
What is the essentials of music?
just to express intention of composer?
definitely no. It's just singing machine having no emotion.
some people cry with scream, or sometimes just teardrop without any sound.
music is same.
this music could be horrible to one man, you. but moving and touching to hundred men, me and lots of people.
Toda la divinidad de Mozart tirada al suelo .Qué mala interpretación!!!
Molto Meglio.
@Chewyfied blah blah......................
out of character... Luciano where is the feel?
What ????????????? come on
he sings all the same way, bombastic, relying only on his natural capacity, no feeling, no charm, just through out notes. please go to learn what Mozart is or remain all the time with Nessun dorma. just errible! comercial. Is embarassing
No tiene ni estilo ni voz para Mozort
6 people doesn't have good musical taste
Totalmente fuera de estilo. Pavarotti tenía una voz hermosa, pero le faltaba el refinamiento y la técnica adecuada para este repertorio.
Doesn't sound too good tbh
