Simply the best performance ever of Nessun Dorma

[justoffal]

Occasionally I revisit this masterpiece and have yet to find the match. Placido Domingo did one fairly well, Pavarotti also...
But nobody touches this one by Gigli.

Have you heard this one? I always liked it. Not taking away from the original ,just joining in.

Gigli is as good as Pavarotti, yes, but no better.

Domingo is definitely great...
First time I've heard this combo.

No argument....

I'd give anything to hear it by Caruso....but alas...

I knew a community college English instructor who used Pavarotti and Gigli in his freshman composition courses.

Great post! I still have to go with Pavarotti's version at The Three Tenors concert. But it's really close.

I don't know Gigli seems to own the vincero triplet at the end. But there's no question that Pavarotti's version is spectacular. Also Gigli has infused some of the earlier versus with that crying overtone. It's so powerful!
