Incredible beautiful and powerful Pavarotti at the height of his powers Pinkerton is amazing A gem A gemPuccini doesn't get enough respectWorthy of Mozart and the rest Sublime sublime this aria
Please listen to the 1958 DECCA recording, with Tebaldi, Bergonzi, Cossotto :) For me, it's absolutely the best recorded version of this magnificent opera. But this version is very good indeed.
Hadn`t realised how much this excerpt exposes whether a tenor has good squillo or not. Having played more than a dozen versions on CZcams I rate these 3 in order of excellence: 1) Bjoerling/Serini 2) Pavarotti/Ludwig 3) Domingo/ (it lies comfortably in his tessitura). How about your choice?
O.k. Mr Flodman here's the go. This version for me is good but a bit ponderous. Probably the illustrious Mr. Von karajan's direction. In the Bjorling /Sereni they "get on with it" And I think its vocally superior too. Bjorling at his best and Sereni at the beginning of his best.There is a lovely earlier version with Campora I'm not a 100% sure who the baritone was, possibly Giovanni Ingheleri.

The swell from about 1:14 to about 1:28 is one of the most magnificent sounds I've ever heard.

I prefer this recording - I prefer Ludwig's more sympathetic Suzuki and Karajan's more symphonic way with the score.

1:14 to 1:28 should be emphasized
