Review by Greg Treadway

Arias By Verdi And Donizetti: Pavarotti’s Voice Punches You in the Gut (1969) Alright, let’s cut to the chase. If you’re into opera—or even if you’re just pretending to be cultured—this album is a goddamn masterpiece. Luciano Pavarotti? The man doesn’t sing; he roars. Backed by The Vienna Opera Orchestra and conducted with precision by Edward Downes, this 1969 release on Decca isn’t just music—it’s an experience that slaps you across the face and demands your attention. Now, I’ll admit, not every track hits like a freight train, but when they do… holy crap. Let me break it down for you real quick. First up, "Forse la soglia attinse... Ma se m’è forza perderti" from Un Ballo in Maschera. This one sticks with you because Pavarotti doesn’t just deliver the notes—he rips them apart. His tenor voice soars through the melody like a hawk diving for prey. It’s dramatic as hell, and the orchestra swells behind him like a tidal wave. You can almost picture the scene: betrayal, heartbreak, all that juicy operatic drama. By the time he belts out those high notes, you’re either clutching your chest or throwing things across the room. No in-between. Then there’s "Tombe degli avi miei... Fra poco a me ricovero" from Lucia di Lammermoor. Oh man, this track is haunting. Pavarotti sounds like he’s bleeding emotion straight into the mic. There’s something raw about how he handles the quieter moments before exploding into those iconic crescendos. The way he transitions between despair and rage? Unreal. You don’t just listen to this—you live it. Look, I’m no expert on classical music—I mean, who really is? But what makes this album stand out isn’t just Pavarotti’s pipes. It’s how everything comes together. The Vienna Opera Orchestra lays down these lush arrangements, and Downes keeps the whole thing tight. Even the liner notes by Cedric Wallis give you some context without boring you to tears. Here’s the kicker though: listening to this album feels like stepping into another world—a world where people actually cared about making art instead of chasing TikTok trends. And honestly? That kinda pisses me off. Not at the album, obviously, but at us. We’ve dumbed everything down so much that hearing something this powerful feels almost alien now. So yeah, go listen to Arias By Verdi And Donizetti. Crank it loud enough to annoy your neighbors. Let Pavarotti remind you why music used to matter. Just don’t blame me if you start crying during track three.
