The voice is the oldest of all musical instruments (although some might say that singing predates even the spoken word). Yet the context in which it is presented to us can vary. The song recital is very different from the challenge of performing in an opera, where the singer is part of a larger whole. It is the simplest and cheapest form of a vocal concert to organize but artistically the most demanding.
I've only recently become interested in opera in my more mature years. Listening to Pavarotti I am both awed by his effortless pure singing - no strain at all - and sad because I'll never hear him in person. His voice was astonishingly beautiful.
Pavarotti is great to listen to anytime - so enjoyed this

Thank you.
Caruso tops them all.
