Pavarotti – High C’s At 68?

At 68, Luciano Pavarotti doesn’t always sound so good, writes Richard Dyer. “But he sounds amazingly steady and solid on the new album – it is hard to think of any previous tenor who could sound this good at Pavarotti’s age. Most of the songs are appealing, and Pavarotti lavishes his incomparable diction and emotional generosity on them, and his high C is still in working order.”
