His Nessun Dorma gets a lot of praise (and it should) but this aria is probably my favorite from Pavarotti.

Totally agree. For Nessun Dorma, I feel like I still have choices. For this piece, well, there’s Pavarotti.

I heard it before I hit play. A great recording. He sang this so many times and it’s almost always a little bit different.

This live recording from 1969 is good too. I’ll never not listen to Pavarotti, but I have a soft spot for his young voice. So clear, and the legato and spin just don’t stop.
