5.0 out of 5 stars
A marvelous blend of music, humor, food, & philosophy!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pavarotti in Confidence with Peter Ustinov [VHS] (VHS Tape)
In this one hour visit, Peter Ustinov interviews Luciano Pavarotti at Pavarotti's summer home in Italy. It is an absolutely capitivating, enchanting experience, as the two men share their thoughts and philosophies on acting, food, art, tennis, music, and life in general. At the risk of using a cliche, the two have a marvelous "chemistry," and it is apparent that each has great respect and admiration for the other. The viewer is treated to glimpses of Pavarott's performances, and of Peter Ustinov's wit and varied dialects. The kitchen scene involving Ustinov observing Pavarotti preparing dinner is worth the price of the video! The discussion of philosophy and the feeling of the two men as to the beauty of "silence" is an insight into the souls of these two great performers, and I cannot recommend this video enough.

TWO GREAT MEN,

This review is from: Pavarotti in Confidence with Peter Ustinov [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I AM A GREAT FAN OF LUCIANO & PETER. I AM THEIR COMTEMPORARIES SO I CAN USE THEIR GIVEN NAMES. OF ALL THE PERSONALITIES IN CLASSICAL & OPERA WORLD,A DIFFERENT INTERVIEWER WOULD NOT HAVE 'BROUGHT IT OFF'. JSWILKOF'S review IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY. I FELT I WAS THERE ENJOYING PASTA WITH THEM. THE VIDEO IS PERFECTLY CAST AS MOST VIEWERS,(IF THEY DID NOT KNOW THE SUBJECT) WOULD WONDER WHOM IS INTERVIEWING WHOM.JUST US INTERLOPERS SEEING TWO FRIENDS PARRYING AS FINE SWORDSMEN, BUT NOT WANTING TO ONE UPMANSHIP EACH OTHER. RESPECTING EACH OTHERS VIEWS AND 'TRADIZIONE'. I ORIGINALLY VIEWED PORTION ON PBS, AND AMAZON WAS THE ONLY SOURCE AVAILABLE.THIS IS A GIFT I WILL CHERISH AND VIEWED SAME TWICE IN THE SAME DAY. THANK YOU ANDREA &FRED.

This review is from: Pavarotti in Confidence with Peter Ustinov [VHS] (VHS Tape)
With the recent passing of Peter Ustinov, this tape has taken on added meaning. In this one hour visit, Peter Ustinov interviews Luciano Pavarotti at Pavarotti's summer home in Italy. It is an absolutely capitivating, enchanting experience, as the two men share their thoughts and philosophies on acting, food, art, tennis, music, and life in general. At the risk of using a cliche, the two have a marvelous "chemistry," and it is apparent that each has great respect and admiration for the other. The viewer is treated to glimpses of Pavarotti's performances, and of Peter Ustinov's wit and varied dialects. The kitchen scene involving Ustinov observing Pavarotti preparing dinner is worth the price of the video! The discussion of philosophy and the feeling of the two men as to the beauty of "silence" is an insight into the souls of these two great performers, and I cannot recommend this video enough. I would truly love to see the program released on DVD.
