Forget Pavaroti's head voice.

The best tenor since recorded music is Jussi Björling. Here he is in a stunning duet from Bizet's Pearl Fishers with the awesome baritone Robert Merrill.

Pavaroti, eat your heart out!

If that doesn't send chills down your spine, nothing will. Dated. But one of the best recordings ever.
