Please react to the true master of tenor opera - Franco Corelli's "E Lecevan Le Stelle", where the applause was longer than the aria intself! ua-cam.com/video/T-RrG4sfdis/v-deo.html
As an italian I would like to point out that you can understand every single word that he sings ( something that rarely happens with most of the other singers ). Having said that, he was truly one of the all time greats.
@@MrTeejaystar I didn't mean to sound disrespectful towards non italian speakers like you so please don't take it personally. :) I just gave him credit for having been one of the few opera singers who could be understood even if you hadn't read the opera book ( many times I had this issue with italian opera singers, too ).
@@alvisedoria8667 Teejay was joking, so dont worry: he meant he doesn't speak italian, so he doesn't understand because all the words are foreign. Anch'io non parlo che due o tre parole d'italiano.Which was probably terrible Italian. Sorry.
@@MrTeejaystar It's easier even for an Englishman to understand better the Italian words sung by Pavarotti than the English words spoken by Liam Gallagher. LOL
Daley his manager of many yrs herbert Breslin nephew was one of my brothers college roommates! I had such a crush on the nephew who'd play pavarotti music! This how I came to know Luciano and develop a taste for opera!
Linor, am Italian, from Verona. When I was a young man (dunno remember the year I think between 1990 and 1992), I was in the Roman amphitheater "Arena di Verona". I was on backstage for working reason (for the same reason I saw several "Opere" and different artists). That night, on the stage there was "The Three Tenors in Concert". Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti. When they reached the "high notes" all three together, the stage shook. We felt like be in a earthquake. The sound inside the amphitheater was astonishing till the stage was shaking. I had the goosebumps. I'm not an Opera fan, but I will never ever forget that moment, that feeling...

Kaiden Refrance I was referring to when he exploded on the national scene. The late 70’s. He made fans of people who didn’t care for opera. He was that good.
I'm italian,and everytime i listen il maestro Luciano Pavarotti and the magnificent beauty of this opera i become proud of my country about that few things that made he immense in the history.
Space my niece this summer was married in ur beautiful country! Just think Italians would benefit if they'd open their arms to 8talian American food more!
I am not certain why UA-cam recommended one of your Freddie Mercury vlogs to me, but I will be forever grateful that it did. I have tried to watch everything you've posted. I love watching your reactions. You feel so much of the art. It is truly beautiful.
I can't listen to this without getting all teary eyed. So beautiful! And watching this AFTER watching your video on properly singing the high notes, you can see all of the techniques you spoke about here.
I was fortunate enough to see him in my lifetime- in 2001, I was 9 haha. My mother raised me on opera and I knew the entire set list by heart. Fun fact: I grew up in Florida, and the only reason I didn’t turn into a weirdo was because of my mother force-feeding me culture. Thanks, mommy
I'm Italian, and I'm proud of it, but this big Luciano performance reminds me of a particular period of my life..my wife was expecting our first child after an abortion, and one summer evening I took her to the theater in Rome to see Turandot ... and this song reminds us how much we had suffered ... it is true that music is a cure for the soul
Pavarotti is one of the very few that gives me chills. Especially on his highs. I don't believe there was ever a better Tenor. Not even Caruso. His passion ran deep.
When I saw the 1994 performance from the 3 tenors concert, I really enjoyed the end of the song & how his face spoke volumes, ecstasy... , euphoria... , gratitude & joy ! Anyway, that's what I see every time I watch it !
you hear so many people do a credible job of rendering this magnificent piece of music.... Pavarotti does it with perfection and heart and soul. he kills me
Falsetto screeching into a mic like the Bee Gee's less talented little brother does not make you, "the best singer in recorded history". Your ear needs significantly more training before making any judgement calls like this. Dimash is pretty trash.
@zoki kostadinov Dimash Is incredible,but i don t understand why if a Singer at random has amazing technique or High notes,range,such style, etc ,Is clearly Better than other...onestly i think Dimash Is complete,maybe perfect,maybe so much perfect.., Pavarotti Is a Legend. Dimash,and i repeat, Is incredibile,he can sing litterally everything, but i think that with only One voice, Pavarotti was more emotional than dimash(personal opinion),and he Is emotional too...dimash Is young, Pavarotti Is passed out,One day,i believe so far,maybe i ll Say....dimash Is Better than Luciano Pavarotti!!!! Last thing,the songs makes the difference. Pavarotti sangs songs that all the world know,aren t his songs but when the people hear that songs ,thinking immediatly to Luciano...my heart will go on,adagio, listen etc,i think to original artist,and i think, people the same thing.!!!!
There’s a neurological condition called *synesthesia* where a person can “see” sounds, perceiving colors and shapes when they hear things like music. Can you imagine what it would be like to experience this performance that way...
8:21 Here it is simply grandiose and moving !! 👏👏👏 GRAZIE Signor Pavarotti !! Thanks for all that you have given us !! Thanks for all the emotions you have given us ! Proud to be his compatriot.
I saw this great man perform this in 1988. I was 12-13 and i'm in my mid 40s now and I will never forget that moment. The best there is/was period. I thank my parents for taking me to this. I became an OK concert pianist and this is the type of musician that made me want to continue playing. What a genius!!!
@6:16-@6:28 That is the embodiment of Pavarotti right there. This is an Educated Veteran Vocal Coach, Who I'm guessing specializes in Opera, completely floored by what she is hearing. There are some things that cannot be taught or learned, only observed. Those things are called Gifts from God. Truly a 1 in a Billion voice this man had.
It is very interesting to hear a teacher analyze "the master". Not very often do we as "listeners of music" get to here this type of commentary. I enjoyed!!
This performance of this aria is one of my absolute favorites! It raises the fair on my arms and brings tears to my eyes every time. His face after the last "Vincero " is just so proud and strong...magnificent.
We were privileged to hear him alive in his many concerts ,he should be with us still but when God calls you that's it you go to him,God Bless his Soul.thank you for this recording .
my beautiful sister Alice pointed me to the operatic art, thanks to her I love it because I never paid mind to it prior to her. Thanks Alice, I miss you so much and think of you everyday.
I love this performance, I've watched it over and over. and my favorite part is right after he finishes his final note. I can see he is reviewing his performance in his mind, and then he concludes, yes, it was good, once again I nailed it! And he opens his eyes, his face relaxes, and he gives the audience his beautiful smile. As much as I love his voice and his performance, I love the reactions on his face. Oh crap, this is not the performance where the camera stays on his face after he finishes. I think there is another camera angle of this same performance, you should see. I don't want you to miss that extra treat.
Love when he hits the high notes at the end that his eyes rapidly scan from side to side of the audience. I’m sure he could see from their reaction that he had performed it perfectly.
I was firtybate enough to have seen Pavarotti perform live. I don't have the technical understanding of what he does, but it was impossible not to totally enjoy his performance. He made me feel like joining him in singing. He also had a physical presence that made you focus on him.
I am so grateful that Linor is doing this. She takes me to a higher plane of artistic appreciation. "My mind has been expanded." Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Something about this reaction video, Pavarotti is incredible and watching you react to his genius is so beautiful, I'm melted down. You are such a beauty!
I really value your reactions, especially of the "masters" - it's like you're right there humbled like us "civilians" yet simultaneously exhibiting your craft to point out why it's so good. Thank you.
I saw Pavarotti in concert and was so amazed when he sang this.He gave me goosebumps all evening! He was the best and I am so glad I could enjoy him in person.
Back in 1981 or 82 he performed at the Krannert Center at University of Illinois when I was a student there. A friend of mine stood in line overnight at the box office and got the last two tickets. They were in a balcony seat on the left almost over the stage. So she spent most of the night looking at the back of his head. But she told me that he was aware of his audience and at one point turned and sang a whole selection to the people sitting in that balcony. Instead of feeling let down, Andrea left feeling that Pavarotti had performed just for her. I thought that was a tremendous sign of respect by a world-class artist for his audience - poor uni students no less.
I am not a huge opera fan,but you would have to be dead not to appreciate his beautiful voice.It makes me happy everytime I hear it. The poweful way he draws you in is amazing.
About his face/energy/rage: "all'alba vincerò, vincerò, vincerò" means "at dawn I will win, win win!" so it's real majestic triumph you can hear and see
He was classically trained by another tenor for months just his breathing techniques and opening his jaw relaxing his jaw......for months! His father could have been a tenor just as talented but like he said his father lacked the motivation to train. Controlling your voice or singing takes discipline it just doesn't happen overnight. I wish he was still alive abd I could have th ed privilege to see him perform live
It's good that you point out the relaxed jaw in the 'ee' vowel. There's so much rubbish talked about singing but that's just good technique :-) I'd also add that in the final 'vincerò' he releases the N before the high note, and doesn't bother wasting breath with the C ('ch'). We've heard the word twice already, so we don't need it again - we just want a good high B!
This performance feels to me, like a victory lap of human culture. The greatest voice of all times. The is a gift by italian culture to the mankind. A gift like Mozart or Bach.This music is immortal and till the last days of humanity we will listen to it. Mille grazie, Maestro. Mille grazie, Italia. .None shall sleep, None shall sleep! Even you, oh Princess, In your cold room, Watch the stars, That tremble with love And with hope. But my secret is hidden within me, My name no one shall know, No... no... On your mouth, I will tell it, When the light shines. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine! (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa Nella tua fredda stanza Guardi le stelle che tremano D'amore e di speranza! Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me Il nome mio nessun saprà! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò Quando la luce splenderà! Ed il mio bacio scioglierà Il silenzio che ti fa mia! ll nome suo nessun saprà E noi dovrem, ahimè! Morir! Morir! Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!
After 45 years of listening, I've picked up some Italian. And great stories and great arias. Excellent! Intensity without tension. Excellent for ANY performer. Excellent!
Fantastic review and what a performance. I heard him live just the once in Dublin, amazing!! The only criticism was that he was a bit too serious - didn't like it when some of audience joined in.
Another one wonderful voice!!...round clear voice...with the right feeling...soft singing in low notes...relaxing voice and then in the hight notes is so perfect and so open...and he continue to open his voice and then we say..Oh my God!!!...we wanna cry...!!! he was Italian...we understand that from the way that he was singing...sweet soft and strong voice in the end and he made us to feel goosebumps!!! Even now...!!that we are in Italy and we are leasing him...the Best Tenor...and very sweet man...with great sense of humor also wonderful theacher...the best scool of singing for tenors...I dont know if we are goin to see someone like him today 2020...he missing so much from the world...!! I love when a vocal theacher speacks about very famous signers because the most people feel fear...to made a critic for the way of they singing...for me is a wonderful idea because we have the power to learn things about they way of they singing how the use they voices....smole secrets...!! But so important...!!
Nessun Dorma (None Shall Sleep) An Aria from the opera “Turandot” by Giacomo Puccini. It is the final aria from the opera. An Aria is a self-contained piece for one voice, with or without instrumental or orchestral accompaniment, normally part of a larger work. Note: Doing a simple word-for-word translation of lyrics can be fairly simple, but doing an interpretation, which conveys the composers original intent, can be much more difficult. The following is but one interpretation, but there must be many, many more. Lyrics English translation/interpretation. None shall sleep, none shall sleep Not even you, oh Princess, in your cold bedroom, watching the stars that tremble with love and with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me; no one will know my name! No, no! On your mouth I will say it when the light shines! And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!
Vanish, o night! Fade, you stars! Fade, you stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!
Thank you! Again, I am learning the subtleties of why a great singer is great. The more I learn from you, the more I hear the difference between good singing and truly great singing. Probably we can all hear it on some level, but it's fantastic having the reasons highlighted. I feel that I'm getting a free music appreciation class.
There are many tenors who can hit high notes and bind beautiful legato lines. What made Luciano truly unique was his ability to close/cover notes as low as middle F. No other tenor had this ability. He was truly UNIQUE.
Beside the talent / technical skills he had... the amount of passion he is able to express it goes beyond anything and that touch anyone emotionally .. even who doesn’t understand anything about opera... even if you don’t speak Italian and don’t know what he is actually saying... that was Pavarotti. Miss him!
There are lots of good opera singers (specifically tenors) out there. Of course, there’s Carrera & Domingo (with whom he did a lot of work), Bocelli (who I personally love), etc but NOBODY holds a candle to Luciano, may he rest peacefully. He is the one who got me into opera, & this is probably my favorite song he ever did. Those high notes never get old. Thanks for sharing.
The most great in your video to myself is watchting you appreciate how much awesome was Pavaroti. That's is part of those thing that HAVE NO PRICE! Thank you so much!
There are so many of these videos of people reacting to the master but this is the first one I've seen by someone who actually knows what she/he is professionally talking about. And it's a pleasure to hear how Linor explains the intricacies of what Luciano is doing while singing. Thank you
You mentioned that "hrrr" before the high note. This is the expression of his Belcanto! No singer performed this as wonderful as Pavarotti. Maybe early Mario Lanza ;-)
I often think that Dimash is the best singer to ever live; then I listen to the Maestro and I'm snapped back to reality. Nobody holds a candle to Pavarotti.
Oh, to have been able to hear him in his prime. I love his phrasing. He sang as though it was easy, & emoted as required by the lyrics. His voice doesn't hurt my ears, as Maria Callas does. He's not afraid to open his jaw, either. Awesome. Thank you, Linor, for this treat.
@@AndreaPalombaBlog You say Pavarotti is "the best tenor ever" and there's "no one like him". This is just your opinion, personal and subjective. And I say Pavarotti was an amazing tenor, but not "the best" (my opinion). "Destacados" means "importants". Do you want names? Franco Corelli, Miguel Fleta, Alfredo Kraus, Carlo Bergonzi etc etc etc. All of them are on the same level than Pavarotti. What' s the problem? Is it yours the only correct opinion? Please....
@@carlosmonzo4102 is not only my opinion is the opinion from a lot of experts. He gave the classic music to all people, before him was show only to a part of people. That's one of the best thing
"When I'm about to train a new opera, I first listen to how Jussi Björling did it. His voice was unique and it's his path that I want to follow. I would more than anything else wish that people compared me with Jussi Björling. It's like so I'm striving to sing." - Luciano Pavarotti
@@ericdaniel323 from what I've heard, Bud Herseth was heavily influenced by opera singers in general and Bjorling in particular ("Ah, his singing was out of sight...out of sight"!) He was also influenced by the way Frank Sinatra could convey the lyrics of a song.
@@HelgeKS I definitely remember him mentioning Sinatra as a favorite as well. Thanks for reminding me! Doc Severinsen is another great trumpet player who recommends learning from great singers. In his case, air support and control. He said something to the effect of feeling like he owes a great vocalist $20 for a lesson after the concert.
@ANITA Ospedale Pavarotti was fantastic and quite possibly the most important figure in operatic history. I have my reservation in ranking artists. I mean, I could namedrop hundreds of tenors whose voices I believe are out of this world. Having said that, I am very drawn towards the "golden age of singing", so many of my favourites are to be found in the first half of the 20th century. My list would look something like this: 1.Jussi Björling 2. Lauritz Melchior 3. Giacomo Lauri Volpi 4. Beniamino Gigli 5. Enrico Caruso 6.Franco Corelli 7. Leo Slezak 8. Nicolai Gedda 9. Giuseppe di Stefano 10. Franscesco Tamagno 11. Tito Schipa 12. Antonio Cortis 13. Alfredo Kraus 14. Georges Thill 15. Miguel Fleta 16. Helge Roswänge 17. Hipolito Lazaro 18. Jean de Reszke 19. Leon Escalais 20. Fritz Wunderlich 21. Gösta Winbergh 22. Leopold Simoneau 23. Ivan Kozlovsky 24. Alain Vanzo 25. Andrei Labinsky 26. Luciano Pavarotti 27. Giovanni Zenatello 28. Salvatore Fisichella 29. Jon Vickers 30. Mario Filippeschi 31. Gianni Savelli 32. Aksel Schiötz 33. Placido Domingo 34. Nikolai Ogrenich 35. Mario Del Monaco 36. Zurab Sotkilava 37. Carlo Bergonzi 38. Andre D'Arkor 39. John O'Sullivan 40. Sergei Lemeshev 41. Renato Zanelli 42. Josef Schmidt 43. Giovanni Martinelli 44. Jose Luccioni 45. Aureliano Pertile 46. Anton Dermota 47. Jacques Urlus 48. Richard Tauber 49. Julius Patzak 50. John McCormack
PS: Nr. 18 Jean de Reszke, the most acclaimed tenor before Caruso, shouldn't be included to be honest. There are no good recordings of him available. It's a bit like saying Pele is the greatest footballer ever...even though one has never seen him play. So, if he's out. let me include Richard Tucker somewhere on my list instead :-)

Easily the greatest aria composed, sang by the greatest male vocal known to humankind.
Perfection. Merci beaucoup
Puccini didnt write Vincero to be held out so long! Glad pavarotti did hold the note, gives the aria such power!

Italian pride in the world ... Great Luciano Pavarotti 🇮🇹
This is my favorite opera performance of all time. I love Pavarotti.
I've seen him do the final "vincero" as a MUCH longer note and it was flawless. Unreal vocal ability.
He could hold those two notes much longer when he was young (have you seen the movie) and his voice grew even more rich as he aged.
I was fortunate enough to see him in my lifetime- in 2001, I was 9 haha. My mother raised me on opera and I knew the entire set list by heart. Fun fact: I grew up in Florida, and the only reason I didn’t turn into a weirdo was because of my mother force-feeding me culture. Thanks, mommy

Because he touches our soul :)
Makes me fall in love! Over and over, each time I hear it and watch the emotion on his face.
Because he was and is Angelic

I grew up on rock and roll. But truly, the best concert I’ve ever attended was Luciano Pavarotti. Absolutely nothing could compare with the Master.
It`s been a long time since I listened to him, still goosebumps like the first time my mother played for me when I was a teenager. Thank you!
I see that Pavarati singing opera makes you cry. This effects me the same way!
8:21 Here it is simply grandiose and moving !! 👏👏👏 GRAZIE Signor Pavarotti !! Thanks for all that you have given us !! Thanks for all the emotions you have given us ! Proud to be his compatriot.
i like how you move your head to your right at final high note, thinking you would see around his hand. :D
I saw this great man perform this in 1988. I was 12-13 and i'm in my mid 40s now and I will never forget that moment. The best there is/was period. I thank my parents for taking me to this. I became an OK concert pianist and this is the type of musician that made me want to continue playing.
What a genius!!!
Pavarotti makes me cry with the passion he sings with...it's always so beautiful.
Loved watching your reaction, as you analysed your soul flew to the auditorium - beautiful
@6:16-@6:28 That is the embodiment of Pavarotti right there. This is an Educated Veteran Vocal Coach, Who I'm guessing specializes in Opera, completely floored by what she is hearing. There are some things that cannot be taught or learned, only observed. Those things are called Gifts from God. Truly a 1 in a Billion voice this man had.
This never gets old...WOW! This is crtainly 'his' aria!
It is very interesting to hear a teacher analyze "the master". Not very often do we as "listeners of music" get to here this type of commentary. I enjoyed!!
This performance of this aria is one of my absolute favorites! It raises the fair on my arms and brings tears to my eyes every time. His face after the last "Vincero " is just so proud and strong...magnificent.
We were privileged to hear him alive in his many concerts ,he should be with us still but when God calls you that's it you go to him,God Bless his Soul.thank you for this recording .
Please keep your god-talk to yourself. It's truly offensive to promote your cult publicly. 👎
@@zaineridling well, God bless your soul! 😁👍
my beautiful sister Alice pointed me to the operatic art, thanks to her I love it because I never paid mind to it prior to her. Thanks Alice, I miss you so much and think of you everyday.
Wow, I'm italian and this make me feel very proud! Thank you for this amazing video
You are so right, Pavarotti was the absolute BEST💔😢🙏
Awesome watching your reactions to the the master. Your comments are on point, very good job!!
I love this performance, I've watched it over and over. and my favorite part is right after he finishes his final note. I can see he is reviewing his performance in his mind, and then he concludes, yes, it was good, once again I nailed it! And he opens his eyes, his face relaxes, and he gives the audience his beautiful smile. As much as I love his voice and his performance, I love the reactions on his face. Oh crap, this is not the performance where the camera stays on his face after he finishes. I think there is another camera angle of this same performance, you should see. I don't want you to miss that extra treat.
Love when he hits the high notes at the end that his eyes rapidly scan from side to side of the audience. I’m sure he could see from their reaction that he had performed it perfectly.
I was firtybate enough to have seen Pavarotti perform live. I don't have the technical understanding of what he does, but it was impossible not to totally enjoy his performance. He made me feel like joining him in singing. He also had a physical presence that made you focus on him.
Chills and goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I could listen to him all day. Simply beautiful.
I am so grateful that Linor is doing this. She takes me to a higher plane of artistic appreciation. "My mind has been expanded." Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Something about this reaction video, Pavarotti is incredible and watching you react to his genius is so beautiful, I'm melted down. You are such a beauty!
I really value your reactions, especially of the "masters" - it's like you're right there humbled like us "civilians" yet simultaneously exhibiting your craft to point out why it's so good. Thank you.
I saw Pavarotti in concert and was so amazed when he sang this.He gave me goosebumps all evening! He was the best and I am so glad I could enjoy him in person.
Back in 1981 or 82 he performed at the Krannert Center at University of Illinois when I was a student there. A friend of mine stood in line overnight at the box office and got the last two tickets. They were in a balcony seat on the left almost over the stage. So she spent most of the night looking at the back of his head. But she told me that he was aware of his audience and at one point turned and sang a whole selection to the people sitting in that balcony. Instead of feeling let down, Andrea left feeling that Pavarotti had performed just for her. I thought that was a tremendous sign of respect by a world-class artist for his audience - poor uni students no less.
I am not a huge opera fan,but you would have to be dead not to appreciate his beautiful voice.It makes me happy everytime I hear it. The poweful way he draws you in is amazing.
U can't explain pavoratti with technique. Hes one of a kind
His voice & delivery is so smooth it stirs up intense emotions ..almost feel like crying & don't know why...😆just beautiful
About his face/energy/rage: "all'alba vincerò, vincerò, vincerò" means "at dawn I will win, win win!" so it's real majestic triumph you can hear and see
I’m glad you said that Pavarotti is the best; I agree. Pavarotti rightfully deserves to be called the greatest.
He was or rather IS a Category of his own,that was the Legendary Pavarotti R.I.P
He was classically trained by another tenor for months just his breathing techniques and opening his jaw relaxing his jaw......for months! His father could have been a tenor just as talented but like he said his father lacked the motivation to train. Controlling your voice or singing takes discipline it just doesn't happen overnight. I wish he was still alive abd I could have th ed privilege to see him perform live
It's good that you point out the relaxed jaw in the 'ee' vowel. There's so much rubbish talked about singing but that's just good technique :-)
I'd also add that in the final 'vincerò' he releases the N before the high note, and doesn't bother wasting breath with the C ('ch'). We've heard the word twice already, so we don't need it again - we just want a good high B!
Damn he really makes you feel those notes. Just crystal clear. Just wow. I love singing, pure singing like this. It's amazing.
This performance feels to me, like a victory lap of human culture. The greatest voice of all times. The is a gift by italian culture to the mankind. A gift like Mozart or Bach.This music is immortal and till the last days of humanity we will listen to it. Mille grazie, Maestro. Mille grazie, Italia.
.None shall sleep,
None shall sleep!
Even you, oh Princess,
In your cold room,
Watch the stars,
That tremble with love
And with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
My name no one shall know,
No... no...
On your mouth, I will tell it,
When the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle che tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
Il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
ll nome suo nessun saprà
E noi dovrem, ahimè! Morir! Morir!
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò!
Vincerò! Vincerò!
Well put!
After 45 years of listening, I've picked up some Italian. And great stories and great arias.
Excellent! Intensity without tension. Excellent for ANY performer. Excellent!
i love the way you explain everything, so professionel!!! by the way, when i listen Pavarotti it makes me feel so good (big fan)
I also love Pavarotti ,he makes me happy every time I hear him sing :)
Fantastic review and what a performance. I heard him live just the once in Dublin, amazing!! The only criticism was that he was a bit too serious - didn't like it when some of audience joined in.
Another one wonderful voice!!...round clear voice...with the right feeling...soft singing in low notes...relaxing voice and then in the hight notes is so perfect and so open...and he continue to open his voice and then we say..Oh my God!!!...we wanna cry...!!! he was Italian...we understand that from the way that he was singing...sweet soft and strong voice in the end and he made us to feel goosebumps!!! Even now...!!that we are in Italy and we are leasing him...the Best Tenor...and very sweet man...with great sense of humor also wonderful theacher...the best scool of singing for tenors...I dont know if we are goin to see someone like him today 2020...he missing so much from the world...!! I love when a vocal theacher speacks about very famous signers because the most people feel fear...to made a critic for the way of they singing...for me is a wonderful idea because we have the power to learn things about they way of they singing how the use they voices....smole secrets...!! But so important...!!
Nessun Dorma (None Shall Sleep)
An Aria from the opera “Turandot” by Giacomo Puccini. It is the final aria from the opera.
An Aria is a self-contained piece for one voice, with or without instrumental or orchestral accompaniment, normally part of a larger work.
Note: Doing a simple word-for-word translation of lyrics can be fairly simple, but doing an interpretation, which conveys the composers original intent, can be much more difficult. The following is but one interpretation, but there must be many, many more.
Lyrics English translation/interpretation.
None shall sleep, none shall sleep
Not even you, oh Princess,
in your cold bedroom,
watching the stars
that tremble with love
and with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me;
no one will know my name!
No, no! On your mouth
I will say it when the light shines!
And my kiss will dissolve
the silence that makes you mine!
Vanish, o night!
Fade, you stars!
Fade, you stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win! I will win!
Thank you! Again, I am learning the subtleties of why a great singer is great. The more I learn from you, the more I hear the difference between good singing and truly great singing. Probably we can all hear it on some level, but it's fantastic having the reasons highlighted. I feel that I'm getting a free music appreciation class.
When I visited Madame Tussauds in London, the only wax work that put a tear in my eye was Pavarotti's. It's a shame he was in the same room as beiber
There are many tenors who can hit high notes and bind beautiful legato lines. What made Luciano truly unique was his ability to close/cover notes as low as middle F. No other tenor had this ability. He was truly UNIQUE.
Beside the talent / technical skills he had... the amount of passion he is able to express it goes beyond anything and that touch anyone emotionally .. even who doesn’t understand anything about opera... even if you don’t speak Italian and don’t know what he is actually saying... that was Pavarotti.
Miss him!
A very moving review. Thank you, I am almost reduced to years when I listen to these great recordings.
I listen to Pavarotti, and i see your face, then i cant see the TV because my eyes are full of tears.
We will never again see his like in our lifetime.
There are lots of good opera singers (specifically tenors) out there. Of course, there’s Carrera & Domingo (with whom he did a lot of work), Bocelli (who I personally love), etc but NOBODY holds a candle to Luciano, may he rest peacefully. He is the one who got me into opera, & this is probably my favorite song he ever did. Those high notes never get old. Thanks for sharing.
The genuineness of your reactions is extremely endearing. Thank you for sharing your self with us.
You cannot imagine bow much we do miss him 😩
The most great in your video to myself is watchting you appreciate how much awesome was Pavaroti. That's is part of those thing that HAVE NO PRICE! Thank you so much!
He's also my fav! Lovely vid!
I love watching your reaction & so appreciate your analysis. Pavarotti is primo!
Leaves us speechless !!
There are so many of these videos of people reacting to the master but this is the first one I've seen by someone who actually knows what she/he is professionally talking about. And it's a pleasure to hear how Linor explains the intricacies of what Luciano is doing while singing. Thank you
You mentioned that "hrrr" before the high note. This is the expression of his Belcanto! No singer performed this as wonderful as Pavarotti. Maybe early Mario Lanza ;-)
I was going on a 2 hour Queen marathon and you appeared! You now have a permanent place in my sub box. You are wonderful! keep up the great videos!
I often think that Dimash is the best singer to ever live; then I listen to the Maestro and I'm snapped back to reality. Nobody holds a candle to Pavarotti.
Try listening to franco corelli and jussi bjorling trust me you'll enjoy it too if you enjoyed this video of luciano pavarotti
There are great opera singers and then there's Pavarotti the Master of them all
Simply brilliant Pavarotti brilliant
Oh, to have been able to hear him in his prime. I love his phrasing. He sang as though it was easy, & emoted as required by the lyrics. His voice doesn't hurt my ears, as Maria Callas does. He's not afraid to open his jaw, either. Awesome. Thank you, Linor, for this treat.
THE BEST TENOR EVER IN THE HISTORY.
NO ONE LIKE HIM.
Impresionante Pavarotti, por supuesto (como siempre). Uno de los tenores más destacados. Pero hay otros que cantan igual o mejor. Respeto su opinión
@@carlosmonzo4102 destacados?
@@carlosmonzo4102 who are the others that can sing better? You are the only one that say Pavarotti is like others.. omg.
@@AndreaPalombaBlog You say Pavarotti is "the best tenor ever" and there's "no one like him". This is just your opinion, personal and subjective. And I say Pavarotti was an amazing tenor, but not "the best" (my opinion). "Destacados" means "importants". Do you want names? Franco Corelli, Miguel Fleta, Alfredo Kraus, Carlo Bergonzi etc etc etc. All of them are on the same level than Pavarotti. What' s the problem? Is it yours the only correct opinion? Please....
@@carlosmonzo4102 is not only my opinion is the opinion from a lot of experts. He gave the classic music to all people, before him was show only to a part of people. That's one of the best thing
One of the greatest gifts anyone can have... A beautiful voice. Singing or speaking.
If I could wish for one talent, it would be that.
"When I'm about to train a new opera, I first listen to how Jussi Björling did it. His voice was unique and it's his path that I want to follow. I would more than anything else wish that people compared me with Jussi Björling. It's like so I'm striving to sing." - Luciano Pavarotti
Adolph Herseth, the greatest orchestral trumpet player of the 20th century, also recommended his recordings.
@@ericdaniel323 from what I've heard, Bud Herseth was heavily influenced by opera singers in general and Bjorling in particular ("Ah, his singing was out of sight...out of sight"!) He was also influenced by the way Frank Sinatra could convey the lyrics of a song.
@@HelgeKS I definitely remember him mentioning Sinatra as a favorite as well. Thanks for reminding me! Doc Severinsen is another great trumpet player who recommends learning from great singers. In his case, air support and control. He said something to the effect of feeling like he owes a great vocalist $20 for a lesson after the concert.
@ANITA Ospedale Pavarotti was fantastic and quite possibly the most important figure in operatic history. I have my reservation in ranking artists. I mean, I could namedrop hundreds of tenors whose voices I believe are out of this world. Having said that, I am very drawn towards the "golden age of singing", so many of my favourites are to be found in the first half of the 20th century. My list would look something like this:
1.Jussi Björling
2. Lauritz Melchior
3. Giacomo Lauri Volpi
4. Beniamino Gigli
5. Enrico Caruso
6.Franco Corelli
7. Leo Slezak
8. Nicolai Gedda
9. Giuseppe di Stefano
10. Franscesco Tamagno
11. Tito Schipa
12. Antonio Cortis
13. Alfredo Kraus
14. Georges Thill
15. Miguel Fleta
16. Helge Roswänge
17. Hipolito Lazaro
18. Jean de Reszke
19. Leon Escalais
20. Fritz Wunderlich
21. Gösta Winbergh
22. Leopold Simoneau
23. Ivan Kozlovsky
24. Alain Vanzo
25. Andrei Labinsky
26. Luciano Pavarotti
27. Giovanni Zenatello
28. Salvatore Fisichella
29. Jon Vickers
30. Mario Filippeschi
31. Gianni Savelli
32. Aksel Schiötz
33. Placido Domingo
34. Nikolai Ogrenich
35. Mario Del Monaco
36. Zurab Sotkilava
37. Carlo Bergonzi
38. Andre D'Arkor
39. John O'Sullivan
40. Sergei Lemeshev
41. Renato Zanelli
42. Josef Schmidt
43. Giovanni Martinelli
44. Jose Luccioni
45. Aureliano Pertile
46. Anton Dermota
47. Jacques Urlus
48. Richard Tauber
49. Julius Patzak
50. John McCormack
PS: Nr. 18 Jean de Reszke, the most acclaimed tenor before Caruso, shouldn't be included to be honest. There are no good recordings of him available. It's a bit like saying Pele is the greatest footballer ever...even though one has never seen him play. So, if he's out. let me include Richard Tucker somewhere on my list instead :-)
