Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • This performance documents history in the making, with Luciano Pavarotti making his operatic debut at the age of 25. Even at such a tender age, he already had his distinctive sound as well as his glorious top.
  • The rest of the cast is very good, particularly the Mimì of Alberta Pellegrini.
  • Previous versions of this recording were not pitched correctly. I have corrected the issue in this remaster.

Cons:

  • The sound is not ideal but still offers an excellent glimpse at a young Pavarotti.
