Side-by-Side: Luciano Pavarotti sings "Chiedi all'aura lusinghiera"


Luciano Pavarotti singing Nemorino in Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore. The first clip is from 1969 and features Reri Grist in the role of Adina. The second clip is from 1991 with Kathleen Battle in the same soprano part. It's hard not to compare and contrast the similarities of these two ladies' voices as well.
