Apparently his motto is "If I rest, I rust."

'Simon Boccanegra' is not his first dalliance with the baritone repertoire. He recorded Figaro in 'The Barber of Seville' and, I understand, that Pavarotti was to have sung Almaviva but dropped out.

Pavarotti has a beautiful clear silvery sound, but it is Domingo with the creamy velvety richness that hits the spot for me. I'll be at the Proms, and I will be entranced, I am sure.
