All perfect. They both sing with great precision, with the ideal tempo Maestro Pavarotti carries his aria with a lot of energy, a very clean sound. The pianisimos of Gran Montserrat just like her spacious fortes are full of feeling. It is impossible to repeat! Never!
What a great testimony of the last year of Caballé's zenith!!!! I read once that Freddie Mercury attended that night to see Pavarotti and fell forever in love with Montserrat's voice. After that night he became a big fan of the great Superba.
Is purely a matter of personal taste but in this duet I prefer Martina Arroyo and Pavarotti instead of the great MC. At 9:31 Caballè doesn’t sing any word. She was an expert doing that.
A Caballé, desde más o menos el 77-78, a partir del la las letras le estorbaban para conseguir redondear el sonido, y más en forte. Yo creo que en algunas óperas solo se aprendía un 75% del texto, y el resto lo tarareaba. Es broma, claro. Tebaldi habló una vez de que Caballé de joven fraseaba muy bien, y luego en el agudo se volvió un poco vaga.
The rhythm of that duet is hellish, there is no time to pronounce all the words. Martina Arroyo tries it but can not manages her breathing, which is why the musical phrases are shorts and interrupted. Caballe chooses to follow the musical line, sacrificing the words but maintaining the harmony of the notes. That's how I see it!

@@pablocarrascosamiguel7680 very well said.
Para entender lo que canta Caballe hace falta un buen oído! @@pablocarrascosamiguel7680

Sorry, no. Beautiful singing yes but the tempo is all over the place, often way too slow. Montserrat eats half her words.
That's not all she ate...
