Pavarotti has a special voice, good for this role. When he sings Io l'ho perduto with his friend -- near the beginning -- it is beautiful.

This is excellent in every respect. Singing, musical direction, costuming, sets, acting, subtitles, photography, sound, etc. If you are not familiar with the story you should read a synopsis first because with 6 main characters they have different motivations and loves. You will enjoy it much more. Otherwise you will be a bit at sea but still enjoy the music and singing. Muti is a great director and he gets every bit out of the orchestra and Verdi's music. Samuel Ramey as King Phillip really belts it out. Three very enjoyable hours! (2 disks)
