***** Jonas Kaufmann is an excellent actor, I agree, but this is another story... I simply think that Duca in Rigoletto was the best actor's creation of Luciano Pavarotti.
Pavarotti acting was horrendous, he was a literal piece of wood. Great lyric/leggero tenor, indeed, but terrible actor. Bonisolli was better in this role.
16 years have gone, and still there is no one who could compare with Maestro 👏🏻 Now, I hope, he is in heaven, singing all these amazing arias to God 🙏🏼
I love this clip so much! Not only the high D, but the flawless singing and the beautiful music. What can one say? Thank the lord above for Pavarotti and Verdi.
I don't know if that D was really in the score, but it definitely isn't falsetto. Bravo Luciano! You even look believable as a ladies' man Renaissance duke here. And nice touch for the director to end the scene with Gilda being brought here from captivity, for the Duke to "play" with her.
Luciano est juste extraordinaire quel que soit le role qu'il interprete ou la langue dans laquelle il chante, sa voix d'or pur est divine. PAVAROTTI FOREVER
The "D" note at the end is positively goosebump inducing! In Pav's later years, one can understand why his talents could be seen as overrated by those who knew nothing of his earlier career. Thank God we have these films to demonstrate what athletic feats of voice the Great Man was capable of in his prime years on the operatic stage.
@@maximtuboltsev6046 Pavas ”D” was great, just like those you mentioned. 🙄 Perfectly comparable with Kraus, and actually much better than Bonisolli. Then there is Corelli of course who is probably insuperable, that is true. Even though I personally like Pavarottis voice and warm interpretation more.
I never knew Pavarotti was able to sing high D. Of course I've heard him done that in mixed voice(lato falsetto),but.. I listened this one about ten times. I'm quite certain it is a "real voice".Amazing. It's stupid to judge the greatherness of tenors of the ability how high they can sing. Juan D Florez, for example, is able to sing higher notes than Pavarotti, but still misses some of that power and color of Lucianos voice. RIP, maestro. Thank God your exceptional voice is saved on the records.
The Heavenly Choir sings sweeter today. In manus tuas, misericora Salvator, servum tuum Luciano commendamus. Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace, Luciano. Amen.
Virtuosity beyond my comprehension!! Without a doubt, the greatest voice I've had the previlidge to hear. Luciano, the world will never be the same without you!!!
Oh My Goodness!! Luciano Pavarotti is such an amazing singer. Boy this just stole my heart. It is like Luciano is singing to you through the computer screen. Boy how I love and adore our big beloved Maestro Luciano Pavarotti. And will until I am no longer here on this Earth.
Possente amor mi chiama, volar io deggio a lei il serto mio darei per consolar quel cor. il serto mio darei per consolar quel cor.

The best ever note i ever heard a tenor - even if its studio recording. Bet it took him 1 take. Fucking out of this world. That Note cements his right to the greatest tenor in the late 20th century thrown. Shame recordings werent around in the 17/18th century bet there was some opera tenors even better than pavarotti.....but all we can do is think.
Absolutely stunning nno that D is written that high in the score but when you have a talent like that can can you argue with him expressing it, I can't. Leaves me breathless every time!
For a few years, at least, he was also King of the High D's. I think this dates to 1981, so Lucianissimo would have been 45-46. I would call that the last year or two of his real prime. We all start going downhill a bit after those years and singers are no exception. The 1971 Tokyo Rigoletto is still the greatest. RIP, Big P.
What is the MET waiting for, to Commemorate Pavarotti, for all the wonderful Operas that he has sung and performed especially the the famous MET. When the famous millionaire Mr. Vilar, contributed a large sum money to MET, they erected in his name the Restaurant in Mr. Vilar' name. Pavarotti, was doing much more than Mr. Vilar. What are they waiting for. Something should be name after The late Luciano Pavarotti. - Thank you!
Why this number is often cut boggles my mind. It'd be one thing if Rigoletto was already pushing 3 and a half hours or something, but it's only a two-hour show. Why cut something as great as this?
He didn't hit the D to show off. He hit the D to show it could be done. The reason modern opera is less of a scene than it used to be is because no one has been able to come close to being Pavarotti, he is the ultimate standard.
There are a number of tenors who can hit high D e.g. Brownlee, Florez, etc. I am not saying they are like Pavarotti as Pavarotti's voice is more beautiful, just that other tenors can hit high D as well. If you look up the video of several tenors singing "Credeasi misera" from Puritani, you'll hear them hitting a high F above high C. Pavarotti's version is there too. But while many tenors including Pavarotti take it in falsetto, some tenors like Brownlee and someone else manage to use their full voice; some take high D instead as it sounds better. There is also a playlist someone put together of "tenors going beyond high D".
This is one of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's best opera films. And, this is certainly Luciano's best theatrical performance (if not the only instance where he can really be said to act well)....ma, per me, il tempio e troppo lento :/
The descending timbre of Pav's voice in the immediate aftermath of his splendid "D" proves that the note was attained honestly. Notice how his voice levels off as it descends. This cannot be achieved by theatric trickery. It is real. It is magnificent! Nevertheless, Felix is quite right to observe that the true greatness of e tenor rests not with his ability to produce upper-scale notes. To this day, Gobbi's mid-range note delivery gives me goosebumps.
Discutibile la scelta della regia: troppe risate a coprire la musica ed a distrarre l'ascoltatore!!... Ma poi ti concentri sul canto ed emerge l'armonia delle note ed allora ogni critica si dissolve dalla mente, e sulle labbra, si disegna un sorriso di piacere... dopo di ché, c'è solo posto al piacere e al godimento, il resto svanisce... :-))))) LUCIANO SEI UN MITO!!!
Listening to this from speakers like dog food cans is a bit of a tragedy. Still, LOUD is good, and will do for now. If only I could sing like that ...what else would matter?
I did wonder why it was missing from stage productions. But you get used to hearing it, from the recording, and it makes the live versions then seem that wee bit flat without it. Like having no wine with dinner.
Up to the late '70's, the cabaletta was often cut. I have an in-house of Pav with Joan doing this in 1972 at the Met. Just when you think the cabaletta should start, it cuts to Rigoletto coming in. On this, it seems like they spliced the high D in, at least to me. His first recording of Rig is my favorite, followed by the Moffo-Merrill-Kraus recording. The Bastianini-Scotto recording is also good. But Pav is the duke for me! Superb voice!
@@Bulacio_Elias gracias! Luego de escucharla me he dado cuenta de que ya la había escuchado pero pensaba que era la de 1989. Que increíble que tenga tan buena vocalidad con 58 años!

il Duca's BEST aria in the opera after "Questa o quella" and "La donna e mobile" and I'm sorry, antonellocito, but NO ONE ever sang this part better than Maestro Pavarotti. NO ONE!!! same with Canio in Pagliacci and Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana. his voice is unique among ALL Italian opera tenors.
@Techgamehut YES it's available on DVD @ Amazon. google "Jean-Pierre Ponnelle classic film of Rigoletto" it's a 1981 performance with Riccardo Chailly conducting Pavarotti (obviously) as il Duca, Ingvar Wixell as Rigoletto (he also sings the part of Monterone), Edita Gruberova as his daughter Gilda, Fedora Barbieri as Gilda's companion Giovanna, Ferruccio Furlanetto as Sparsfucile and Victoria Vergara as Sparsfucile's sister Maddalena.
