Verdi: Aïda - San Francisco Opera (starring Luciano Pavarotti)

Buy from Amazon: http://smarturl.it/AidaAmazon A magnificent spectacle of stars, scenery and choreography, this version of Verdi's Aïda is remastered from Sam Wanamaker's landmark production. It features monumental performances by Luciano Pavarotti as Radames and Margaret Price in the title role. The tensions which arise from Radames' love for Aida, a slave who is the daughter of the Ethiopian chieftain, Amonasro, and the jealousy this provokes in the daughter in Amneris, daughter of the Egyptian king, are portrayed in some of Verdi's most famous music. __________ Highlights 0:57 Preludio Act I 7:02 "Se quel guerrier io fossi!" 7:59 "Celeste Aida" 24:27 "Ritorna vincitor!" 27:38 "I sacri nomi di padre" Act II 58:30 "Gloria all'Egitto, ad Iside" 1:02:07 Marcia trionfale (orchestra) 1:03:45 Ballabile (orchestra) 1:08:12 "Vieni, o guerriero vindice" Act III 1:32:26 "Qui Radamès verrà!" 1:34:07 "O patria mia" 1:48:23 "Pur ti riveggo...Là tra le foreste vergini" 1:57:53 "Ma dimmi; per qual via" Act IV 2:03:26 "L'aborita rivale a me sfuggia" 2:06:45 "Già i sacerdoti adunansi...Ah! tu dei vivere!" 2:26:21"La fatal pietra sovra me si chiuse" 2:35:06 "O terra addio" __________ Warner Classics ► Website: http://www.warnerclassics.com Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: https://wnrcl.me/subscribeYT ► Newsletter https://wnrcl.me/subscribeNL Follow us on: ► Facebook: http://www.fb.com/WarnerClassicsErato ► Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/warner_classics ► Twitter: http://twitter.com/WarnerClassics ► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/warnerclassics Listen to us on: ► Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/user/warnerclassics ► Apple Music: http://itunes.apple.com/curator/warner-classics/1153741571 ► Deezer https://www.deezer.com/profile/321050935 Warner Classics is the home of classical music, featuring iconic high audio quality recordings from the greatest classical legends, opera stars and orchestras of the last century.
