Domingo was much better at conveying the drama of what he was singing and acting than Pavarotti, and his range of parts has been much more extraordinary. Pavarotti could beat him in some specific arias and with high notes, but in complete operas or in more dramatic numbers I think Domingo was clearly the better performer. (I totally agree on Björling and the Great Caruso. Carlo Bergonzi, Nicolai Gedda, and a young Giuseppe di Stefano were other greats as far as I’m concerned.)
Absolutely correct!! Totally and completely.
