In the Thread: Berlioz Requiem / Pavarotti?
Post Subject: Berlioz Requiem / Pavarotti?Posted by RonyWeissman on: 9/15/2008
Okay I have to confess that I am a Pavarotti fan, especially the overflowing, gushy puccini operas with the overflowing pavarotti.  Along with the bach solo studies for cello, it's one of the reasons I started paying attention to my audio playback quality.  I have evolved from this rather primitive position, and can spend the entire day listening, like romy, to flagstad/wagner, or ferrier/schubert, but I still have this thing for pavarotti, maybe because my dad use to play it in the house when I was younger?

Anyway yesterday in the car I heard Pavarotti in the Berlin Requim(James levine conducting), really liked it, but also realized that I live in France and have never heard this piece before...

Can anyone suggest their favorite version as I am also a bit of a requim nut and this one seems worth pursuing.

Thanks,

R Weissman
