Luciano Pavarotti & Zucchero - Miserere (Live 1992)


I know this is not exactly opera, per se, but this little video has multiple important distinctive qualities:


1) It is the first recording I ever heard of maestro Pavarotti, this back when I was about 19 years old.  Back then I didn't know who he was, I just liked the recording a lot.
2) It is a unique opportunity to see the maestro rockin' hard with a handled microphone, fully loaded with reverb and effects processing.
3) For reasons that I can only make up, Pavarotti looks like he's extremely into the song, matching Zucchero's own committment, making this a a most excellent recording.
