    The Young Pavarotti was Amazing!
    Lyrics
    Pavarotti
    La donna è mobile
    qual piuma al vento,
    muta d'accento e di pensiero.
    Sempre un amabile,
    leggiadro viso,
    in pianto o in riso, è menzognero.
    La donna è mobile
    qual piuma al vento,
    muta d'accento e di pensier.
    e di pensier
    e di pensier
    È sempre misero
    Chi a lei s'affida,
    chi le confida, mal cauto il core!
    Pur mai non sentesi
    Felice appieno
    Chi su quel seno non liba amore!
    La donna è mobile
    qual piuma al vento,
    muta d'accento e di pensier.
    e di pensier
    e di pensier
    e di pensier.

    Of all the opera singers I've seen live, Pavarotti was the only one who seemed to open his mouth and sing as if it was as natural to him as breathing.

      Maybe I am wrong, since I am no expert at all, but I've been taught that Pavarotti is a lyric singer. Opposite to him, Placido Domingo is a dramatic tenor, who acts every word he sings.

All I could hear was HIM. I was 25 and knew nothing about opera nor how reknowned he would become but I have never forgotten it. Even a complete novIce like me knew that voice was special. I have been lucky to have many peak experiences in my life and thIs certainly was an important one.

    I’ve been a professional musician all my adult life. Started playing at 4 years old. Was raised on Pavarotti, Lanza and Domingo.
    But my dad was especially fond of Luciano Pavarotti. He wanted me to be a tenor. Turns out I suck at singing and became a drummer instead.
    But I know all the classic operas by heart. My point is really this: NOBODY before or since has topped Luciano Pavarotti.
    It would have been pointless to try. Some have come close. But this man was a gift from God and I can’t think of a more natural and powerful singer than Luciano Pavarotti. I was lucky to live in his time.

      Fair question.
      But nobody can say for sure because the fidelity of his recordings was very primitive.
      So there’s no way to tell what Caruso’s full tenor really sounded like beyond hearsay and critical reviews.
      The frequency width back then was only about 1 kHz-3 kHz on early phonograph playback devices. Edison cylinder phonographs were even narrower in Hz frequency.
      He died in 1921 so he never recorded with anywhere near the quality fidelity of the tube microphones, studio monitor reference and playback devices that Pavarotti had available in the mid to late 20th century.

I heard him just once when he sang at a birthday celebration at UCLA for Henry Mancini's 65th, and I was stupefied, no - dumbfounded at the power, sweetness and purity of his tone when singing live - it put any recording I'd heard of him to shame... even then, he resigned supreme, and if my memory is accurate, this was less than ten years before his death.

      @@ripsnortinroy If that had happened, you would barely have heard Pavarotti! It would have been like a small voiced backing singer to Caruso's lead voice.
      The acoustic recording process was incredibly limited. It couldn't record frequencies above 3,000 hz, nor below 300 hz with any efficiency, as it was essentially singing into a tin horn, which through a steel needle, scratched the resultant vibrations onto a rotating wax cylinder.
      So consonants were completely lost, along with all the upper partials of a superb voice which gives rise to squillo & tonal punch. The lower partials of the operatic voice were also lost, which gives the voice sonority & harmonic richness. So, basses sound like baritones, baritones like tenors, tenors like teenagers, & sopranos like little girls.
      Caruso's voice was so powerfui & sonically opulent, that he could sound almost as if recorded electronically. However, when you hear dramatic tenors of his day through the same process, they sound veiled, thin, reedy, & lacking in squillo by comparison, & dramatic baritones sound no weightier than Caruso's tenor.
      Pavarotti's was a much smaller lighter voice type, with none of the ring in the upper register.
      Incidentally, the acoustic process was always a "live" recording, since no retakes or editing were possible as today. If the singer, or players made a mistake, the entire aria had to be recorded again from scratch. Not spliced together from 15 different takes.

      There was no falsetto anywhere here. It's just head voice. Which is not the same. You'd recognize falsetto by its whistle-like, thin quality that doesn't carry and would've sounded extreme in comparison to the rest of his singing. You can search for Joyce DiDonato's video "More than words" she did with friends of hers (2 tenors). There you can hear true falsetto when one of the guys sings second voice.

I ose bumps when I hear him perform O Sole Mio. Like Pavarotti, he can sing the high Cs, and two notes higher! I have heard him sing La Fille d' Regiment which requires achieving the High Cs 8 times! When Vito sings Ciao Ciao Bambina, I get tears in my eyes, he sings with such emotion and passion.
