5.0 out of 5 stars
AMAZING!,
By Tracy L. Powell (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luciano Pavarotti - Donizetti Arias ~ Una furtiva lagrima (Audio CD)
This recording of Donizetti opera arias, many of which were taken from his full length recordings,really show what the big deal about Pavarotti was/is. The voice is unbelievably beautiful, full, and ringing! Pavarotti himself once said that his voice was best suited to Donizetti. The arias from Il Duca d'Alba and Don Sebastiano are so gloriously sung that it makes one sad and mad that he didn't record some of the more rare Donizetti operas. If you want an introduction to opera or just want a recording of Pavarotti this is definitely the one to get.

Achingly, Heartwrenchingly, Beautiful,
By "adamski_169" (Boston, Massachusetts, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luciano Pavarotti - Donizetti Arias ~ Una furtiva lagrima (Audio CD)
Pavarotti is arguably the most gifted and accomplished operatic tenor of the twentieth century. While other contemporary tenors may be stylistically flawless and a joy to listen to, Pavarotti is in a class by himself. He drifts effortlessly from the low, lyrical passages to soaring high notes which have a tendency to sound strained when anyone but Pavarotti (and of course, the incredible Mario Lanza) attempts them. As many of the reviews mention, this IS Pavarotti in his prime, and this is most apparant in his flawless command of the stratospheric high C's. He's not known as "The King of the High C's" for nothing! In addition, unlike many opera compilations that trundle out the most overplayed snipits from the most well known works, Una Furtiva Lagrima gives us some of the greatest arias from one of opera's most talented composers, Donizetti. This album is a celebration not only of Pavarotti's brilliance, but Donizetti's as well. For an introduction to opera, this album is great. For an introduction to Donizetti, this album is excellent. And for a showcase of the power and range of one of opera's greats, this album is fantastic!

Luciano at his best,
By Torsten Westh (Randers, Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luciano Pavarotti - Donizetti Arias ~ Una furtiva lagrima (Audio CD)
I can only repeat what has been said above. Pavarotti singing Donizetti in his prime years - outstanding. His voice is pure gold and suits perfectly for Donizetti. Especially the arias from Il Duca d'alba and Don Sebastiano are wonderful.
