The solemn and haunting Kol Nidre service as offered by Cantor Richard Tucker.

Scenes from a live performance of Puccini's La Boheme from 1957, featuring Richard Tucker, Dorothy Kirsten, and Ettore Bastianini. GOLDEN AGE!!!!

This early, complete Pavarotti recital finds the 38 year old tenor is truly magnificent form. He was on the verge of super stardom this year, 1973, with the recent triumph of the Met Fille in the very recent past. He generously gives us 22 selections, including encores. Viva Luciano, per sempre!!

This amazing radio concert, given in Mexico in 1950, stands as one of the supreme examples of tenor singing, any time, anywhere. Not just the best of Di Stefano, which it most certainly is, but the best of perhaps any tenor ever singing this music. The six songs have to be heard to be believed!!!

!.  Santa Lucia

2.  Ay, ay, ay

3.  Core 'ngrato- UNBELIEVABLE!!

4.  Mamma mia, che vo sape

5.  Estrallita

6.  Tu che non chiagne
