Luciano Pavarotti gives an historic concert in a historic setting. This thrilling video program was filmed live in Beijing during his tour of the people’s Republic of China in 1986. Now audiences everywhere can enjoy the magic and majesty that is the voice of Pavarotti! Pavarotti performs his favorite operatic arias by Puccini and Verdi, as well a special selection of the Italian songs, including his memorable renditions of "Mama" and "O Sole Mio." Emerson Buckley conducts the orchestra of the Municipal Opera Theatre of Genoa. This landmark, 96 minute concert in Beijing by the world’s most beloved tenor includes "Va pensiero" Nabucco (Verdi), "Quando le ser al placido" Luisa Miller (Verdi), "Overture" I Vespri Siciliani (Verdi), "Questa o quella" Rigoletto (Verdi), "La donna e mobile" Rigoletto (Verdi), "The Servant’s Chorus" Don Pasquale (Donizetti), "Federico’s lament" L’Arlesianna (Cilea), "Mamma" (Bixio) "Rondine al nido" (DeCrescenzo), "Lolita" (Buzzi), "Humming Chorus" Madame Butterfly (Puccini, "Amor ti vieta" Fedora (Giordano, "Vesti la giubba" I Pagliacci (Leoncavallo), "Gli aranci olezzano" Cavalleria Rusticana (Mascagni), "Interlude" Cavalleria Rusticana (Mascagni), "Chitarra romana" (DiLazzaro) and more.

This review is from: Luciano Pavarotti - In Concert in China (DVD)

A loud hissing sound can be heard all the way through the DVD. About half way through your brain kind of tunes it out. It was great to see, but I think I'll listen to the same titles on Cd's that have been either cleaned up, or recorded with better modern technology...
