The world of opera has known many good tenors. Precious few, however, have made it to the ranks of the great. For some Friday fun, I bring you two truly great tenors - one belated, the other of the new guard of opera stars - singing the same aria: "M'appari" (Italian) or "Ach, so fromm" (German) from Friedrich von Flotow's most famous opera, Martha. Here's the inimitable Luciano Pavarotti singing "M'appari" in  a 1988 recital with James Levine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfQWjLVB4V8 Now the phenomenal Jonas Kaufmann singing "Ach, so fromm" in a recording session for his Romantic Arias recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoFAxX9OQa4
