Luciano Pavarotti sings Cujus animam from Rossini's Stabat Mater.

An alternative to the recent Bjorling post of this piece. It's very important to note that this one is live, this piece is incredibly difficult to sing. To sing it effectively (as Pavarotti does here) you need to be able to sing long legato lines flawlessly and be in complete control of your voice to handle the tessitura and torturous jump to the D flat.

Post your thoughts.
