What I enjoy most about this performance, besides the meeting of two vocal giants, is the intense concentration of attention and listening given Price and Pavarotti by the illustrious peformers behind them. No one loses interest for a moment of the performance, and quite a few of them get caught up in the thrill of the moment. Of course, quite a few of them are listening hard to pass judgement on Price. For contrast, watch them during the "Madama Butterfly" duet excerpt with Leona Mitchell and Giuliano Cianella. Despite the genuine appreciation shown at the end, there are many signs of fidgeting and loss of interest throughout.

Pavarotti was always an exciting singer. At the beginning of his illustrious career, his lyric voice had a special quality that made Pavarotti a special singer. Now when you listen to him sing with Price you hear the difference in the quality of their voices. Price's has a rich, full "ring ", Pavarotti's has volume but no "ring". Still, this duet is well sung.
