The dueling tenors- part 1: “Vesti la Giubba-“ Pav vs. Lanza

Pavarotti and Mario Lanza sing “Vesti la Giubba“ from Leoncavallo’s “Pagliacci“ This is inspired by some other postings such as “tenor cage match“ etc. In many ways comparisons are unfair, but we always wind up comparing anyway,:-) So I thought it would be interesting to compare 2 tenors singing an aria phrase-by-phrase so to speak. I’m all for FRIENDLY debate, please avoid profanity or you will be blocked. This is not to detract from the accomplishments of either singer. Ideally you will appreciate them both for their own unique talents. I personally prefer Lanza to Pavarotti, but that’s just me. Please state the reasons for your preference when posting. :) Enjoy, and I may make more of these in the future, perhaps with other singers as well.
