Luciano Pavarotti - The Lost Concert: Live at Llangollen 1995

Luciano Pavarotti — The Lost Concert: Live at Llangollen 1995

Historic concert with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra recorded in Llangollen, North Wales!

A truly historic concert, filmed and recorded in Llangollen, North Wales, released on audio for the very first time.

The concert marked 40 years since Pavarotti and his fellow choir members from Modena won First Prize in the Choral Competition at the International Eisteddfod in 1955.

Seventy-five minutes of remastered musical glory — a program overflowing with operatic arias from Cavalleria Rusticana, Il trovatore, Macbeth, Manon Lescaut and La traviata, and popular Neapolitan song.

Also features two tracks, recorded in 1955, thought to be the earliest recordings with Luciano Pavarotti - Bonjour mon coeur (Lassus) and In Nomine (J Handl) - plus a special audio interview with Pavarotti recalling his choir's competition win.

Recorded with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Leone Magiera; the Corale Rossini, and soprano Atzuko Kawahara

Features a 100-page LP-sized book, detailing the history of the concert, interviews with those who were there; precious and rare historic photos from the Llangollen archive; a newly commissioned biography of Pavarotti; a reproduction of the original concert program; a specially commissioned history of the Llangollen Eisteddfod; and more.

Plus — a unique A4 concert poster in each box.

All texts in English, German and Welsh.

Comparable in significance to Pavarotti in Hyde Park and Pavarotti in Central Park.

In a concert rarely seen or heard since the mid-1990s, experience Pavarotti at the very height of his vocal powers in gloriously remastered sound.

SACDs are hybrid, with both a PCM (Red Book) audio layer playable on standard CD players, and encoded with a DSD (HD) layer.
