Pavarotti: The Lost Concert

In July 1955, aged 19, Luciano Pavarotti journeyed to Wales, joining his father in a choir from Modena, the Societá Chorale G. Rossini, to compete in the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. They won the male voice competition by a distance. Later in life he would attribute this as a pivotal moment, one that would inspire him to consider the possibility of becoming a professional singer - it was ultimately an experience that would shape his destiny. Forty years later, in 1995, fulfilling a promise made to himself and many others throughout an extraordinary career, he returned to give a special concert in the Pavilion during Eisteddfod week. This is the recording of that previously unreleased historic concert. This edition includes a second SACD with an audio documentary. In this exclusive Decca Classics documentary, Pavarotti recounts highlights from his life and career and speaks about some of his most acclaimed opera roles, in conversation with the feature's producer and narrator Jon Tolansky. His recollections are illustrated by selected extracts from his catalogue of Decca recordings.
