This particular performance was the third of three (La Barcheta with guitarist Beau Bledsoe, E lucevan le stelle and Nessun Dorma), Nathan receiving an encore for this rendition of Nessun Dorma. …After a disastrous last year, where rain flooded the 85 hand-made braziers into the Blue River after a torrential downpour turned Waterfire into Water…Water this night was perfect and much appreciated by everyone, especially the Convention and Visitors association and the JE Dunn Co., who sponsored the 55 replacement braziers and the anchoring system keeping them in place along Brush Creek on the Country Club Plaza. Waterfire is an art installation conceived by Barnaby Evans in Providence, RI. It has been the top attraction in Providence for years and has traveled around the globe, delighting those who are fortunate enough to have seen it. Thanks to Alan Feingold for the video and the support The piano Snippet at the end is also Nessun Dorma played by Jazz Pianist, Mike del Ferro.

Plácido Domingo & Luciano Pavarotti – O Mimì, Tu Più Non Torni. In september 1991 the Metropolitan Opera celebrated it’s 25th anniversary at Lincoln Center by performing three different acts from a selection of popular Met productions. In the final act (act II of Die Fledermaus) there were some special guest performances by highly renowned opera stars. Two of those guests were Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti doing an unusual duet for two tenors. They sung “O Mimì, Tu Più Non Torni” from Giacomo Puccini’s opera “La Bohème” whereby Domingo sings the part of Marcello. James Levine is conducting. The idea behind these clips was to provide a High Quality version of these aria’s on youtube. Unfortunately the YT encoding creates an artificial noise in the peaks. I hope you still can enjoy this. The Source for this video was a DG laserdisc. The release on DVD is planned on april 1st 2010. Yeah it’s spelled grammophon… Who can spell that without an error?
