[Superman]

I too never experienced his voice live, but I have heard enough recordings to get a sense of what those live performances might have been like. Let's just put it this way: If his performance is going to be recorded, then MAYBE he MIGHT need a microphone. If not, then no. He wouldn't need one.

I have the 'sacred songs' album he did with (I believe) the Vienna Boys Choir. What a combo. Pavarotti singing with a choir of angels. Panis Angelicus, both Ave Maria versions and "Oh, Holy Night." When he hits the high note in that last one, the hair on the back of my neck stands up and my vision gets poor.
