Ah! mes amis

Luciano Pavarotti sings Ah! mes amis from act I of Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment (please note that this is the Italian version, not the French version).

Live 1969 - La Fille du Regiment - Orchestra e Coro del Teatro alla Scala conducted by Nino Sanzogno

This is one of my favourite Pavarotti recordings, it proves that he really is THE KING OF THE HIGH Cs. The best Tonio ever in my opinion.

This video is part of my tribute to the late Luciano Pavarotti, who as you should know, died a year ago today (6th of September). I'm posting up a few live recordings of his, just to try and get across the true Pavarotti to those who think that Pavarotti's greatest hour was singing with the spice girls. This recordings showcases the true Pavarotti, a gorgeous, youthful, colourful, joyous and refined voice.

Rest in peace Maestro, may you sing with the angels.
