Speaking of Verdi:

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!



Luciano Pavarotti – Celeste Aida - Verdi

Please let me know by Freepmail if you would like to be admitted to or released from my music pinglist

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Publius]

Once you get past the recitiative with brass accompaniment, the tenor has to begin his opening aria backed only by a pair of oboes and some pizzicato strings. It's like a trapeze artist working without a net. That high note is a killer in and of itself.

Verdi sets a high bar for his Radames.
