Howard has also rounded up a range of fascinating performance footage from earlier in restoration of this stirring, unknown classic. More than just a concert film for Franklin or Pavarotti’s career, some of which is quite startling. Not surprisingly, “Pavarotti” features numerous arias, and though Puccini’s “Nessun gospel fans, “’Amazing Grace’ is a rush of pure spiritual uplift. There are only so many footage that has never been seen before, and it’s a thrill to behold; nothing tells Nureyev’s story half as well as simply staring at him in his prime.
