Luciano Pavarottis voice gives me goosebumps, absolutely amazing. I have severe epilepsy and will have clusters of seizures, sometimes 3 or 4 in a day, they make me feel HORRIBLE, but I put on Luciano Pavarotti and lay down and always feel a little better
Ça a été et ça restera encore pour toujours- le plus grand ténor de tous temps. Tout en lui est unique des arias incroyable inégalé et inégalable . J’ai eu le privilège d’aller l’entendre chanté à Paris dans le Bal Masqué ce moment est grave en moi à tout jamais Merci merci merci Maestro chante pour les étoiles maintenant
Extraordinaire!!! Malgré tous les magnifiques et superbes ténors qui ont existés et qui existent aujourd’hui, il est et reste, pour moi, le meilleur car jamais encore égalé !!! Vous nous nous manquez Monsieur Luciano !!!
Me too, at Covent Garden. Elsewhere in UA-cam, I commented on meeting Luciano Pavarotti at his dressing room there, his energy and outgivingness undinted by having sung one of the most demanding parts in opera.
@@giovannifassari6971 ogni tenore ovviamente ha il suo repertorio, pavarotti resta probabilmente quello con la voce più "bella". Certo, come tutti gli altri grandi, si muoveva tra tante arie, dove in alcune eccelleva e in altre faceva il compito. Che abbia riportato la lirica al grande pubblico e perciò sia percepito come il più grande è normale.
non credo proprio, penso di poterle fare più di dieci nomi di cantanti che superano Pavarotti, partendo dai più famosi Caruso (il migliore in assoluto per me), MDM, Corelli, Lauri Volpi, Merli, De lucia, Bonci e molti altri
Best Celeste Aida what I've ever heard. Exact and intelligent phrasing, bright tone and effortless singing. I think Pavarotti was rather than an extraordinary musician than an opera actor. But with his outstanding musicality he can express the most difficult and deep feelings needed to opera playing
please do not tell me that the last 13 seconds are not coming out from the mouth of a human being .... What an astonishing performance. Thank you marvellous angel !
Once, in art class we had to do set design for this opera. I came up with the idea that during this song, two actors should approach from either side and dress him in his armor as he's singing.
Please note the high priest; perfectly performed by Nicolaï Ghiaurov. Two best voices of the last century. What a match. Luciano as always unbelievable. Thanks for posting.
I will never understand how one can stand in front of thousands of people and have the confidence to KNOW that when one opens the mouth THAT sound will come forth! Of course, THAT voice, THAT sound, passed with Pava, never to be heard live on this earth again, I fear, but to dazzle his audiences time after time with that pure, Italian, natural, free tenor voice is amazing! Opera will, in my humble opinion, never be the same---God keep you, Pava!
Je l’écoute à nouveau je n’ai pas de mot assez fort pour exprimer cette prestation …….nous l’avons entendu une fois pour des siècles et des siècles unique inégalable tu nous manques
Ho ascoltato Alagna alla Scala nel 2006 e non c'é paragone con Pavarotti, proprio nemmeno lontanamente. Non solo la potenza della voce ma la tonalità, le sfumature, la melodia: grande Pavarotti!
2 things here are unmistakable: 1- Pavarotti unequaled brilliance 2- the reaction of the Scala. You’d think you were listening to a hockey or soccer match by their cheers!
This was unmistakably Bel Canto singing. The resonance and the blade in the voice was why it could carry to the back of any opera house, despite him not having a powerful voice. The open throat; the focus in the voice; no tension whatsoever in the neck muscles; no dropped larynx; no forcing the sound; superb breath control and correct abdominal support. This is the correct way to sing. Also, there was never any scooping up to the high notes. He heard Gigli and recalled him singing about a dozen arias after a full operatic performance, just for his public. He also was a Bel Canto singer. Any tension in the neck and the voice would tire easily. You would certainly not get through a performance if that happened. Singers, these days, have rather throaty voices and some of them have a wide vibrato at the top which will develop into a wobble. I studied the Bel Canto technique.
Furthermore, present day tenors do not posses the technique of the great singers of the past. Their voices sound forced and will not have the same longevity. Someone said thst Gigli's speaking voice was that of an old man, but his singing voice was that of a young man. Although a lyric tenor regarded as the most beautiful of all, he had power when needed and sounded magnificent. There is superb film of him singing in part of " Cavalleriia Rusticano". He was 38 and in his vocal prime. The sound quality for 1928 is superb.
@@davidwhyberd7612 Pavarotti: That beautiful, clear, rounded, gorgeous, golden, ringing, Italian Bel Canto voice! So full of emotion, so deep, so loving. Engaging the soul! Oh, how I wish I could have heard him sing this aria in the opera house. I know I would have been overwhelmed! Though a lay person with some music background, I am very interested in opera and in Bel Canto singing. I believe you are a performer. Forgive my ignorance, but is Bel Canto actually taught to performers anywhere today, or when you say you studied Bel Canto, do you mean you have done so on your own? A very nice gentleman I met on one of these videos has been gracious enough to explain some basics of operatic singing to me. I also try to do some reading, but the workings of the vocal apparatus are not easy to understand, especially if you are not studying voice. I do have a question, if I might ask. You mentioned "no dropped larynx." That, I believe, is the technique advocated by Melocchi, is it not? MDM and Corelli (to a lesser extent, I think) adopted this technique. I find it interesting that both saw what seems to have been an early decline in their voices. Do you think the "lowered larynx" technique might have been a factor? Since Pavarotti did not use this method, would it have been the "open throat" that accounted for the production of his incredibly beautiful voice? That, and the other things you mention? Not meaning to discount, by any means, the years and years of hard work he devoted to developing that voice, and then practicing every day. Just trying to understand what probably can't be put into words at all. . . . If you have a little time, I would be glad to hear back from you. As for today's singers? Oh, please, don't get me started on those paper thin, weak-voiced, body-mic ghosts we see on stage. See them we do. They look good. That's it!
It never ceases to amaze me to actually hear Pava "change gears" on that last high note! To hit it round and full, then "squeeze" the note for resonance and length is mind boggling! Once again, Bravo, ll Maestro, you are much missed!

Hahahahah voce potente, certo è evidente che non hai mai sentito cantare tenori come Merli Filippeschi Bonisolli Giacomini Labo' Atlantov Tucker Vinay Barioni Pertile Uzumov MdM Marazoff Vichers, Nikolov,Pavarotti grande stazza piccola voce x giunta microfonata.
@@eugeniogentili1048 Senta, ma lei li ha mai ascoltati dal vivo? Da cosa può dedurre che quelle voci erano più potenti di quella di Pavarotti? E comunque non credo proprio che la voce di Pavarotti era microfonata in teatro... scempiaggine!
Perché sono tutti tenori drammatici quelli che ho elencato, invece il tuo Pavarotti è stato un tenore lirico di grazia dalla vocalità leggera sempre microfonato.
I've always loved this song even as a child, and I've heard many sing it, but none can touch the heavenly perfection of Luciano singing it. His is the voice of angels and he is also a beautifully manly figure of a man! RIP, dear one.
@@Jack_Sparrow17 How is he not perfect ?! He owns the aria, the power the squillo and the unparalleled diminuendo, Pavarotti lacks the power and was never good at diminuendos.
@@abcdefgh-db1to Pavarotti is very powetful, balanced and perfect , just listen the phrase "Celeste Aida". Corelli sing it like upstart "Celeste aiDDAAA". It sounds very vulgarly. Oh man you are not a musician, just shut up, you know nothing about that.
@@Jack_Sparrow17 this "vulgar way of singing" is called open chest, whereas Pavarotti sings it in covered chest, it's two different way of singing the phrase, conveying different emotions, both being equally difficult to master, and both singers having mastered both. I'm not saying Pavarotti is a bad singer, not at all, I'm saying he is not suited for the role, which is a spinto role, just like Corelli, whereas Pavarotti is a leggero tenor. And no, Pavarotti isn't very powerful, listen to live performances where the mic is far away in the audience, then you will see the difference in power between Pavarotti and Corelli
As far as i'm concerned... Pavarotti could sing me the phone book and it would be beautiful. Not an actor, even when he tried... but the voice... Ah, the voice!
Pavarotti quiso hacer de todo. Nadie niega su excelente técnica y su buena voz, pero no se puede abarcar todo el universo en un mano. Cada quien en su lugar. Él era ideal para roles como Rodolfo, Nemorino, Alfredo o Tonio, pero no para repertorio más pesado como Manrico en el Trovador, Turiddu, Calaf o Canio de Pagliacci. En mi opinión fue muy osado y no es de mi gusto. Hay que respetar el carácter de cada rol, por algo los compositores escriben para voces específicas. Pavarotti wanted to do everything. No one denies his excellent technique and good voice, but can not cover the entire universe in a hand. Everyone in place. He was ideal for roles as Rodolfo, Nemorino, Alfredo and Tonio, but not to heavier repertoire as Manrico in Trovatore, Turiddu, Canio in Pagliacci or Calaf. In my opinion it was very daring and is not to my taste. The character of each role, must be respected.
The song is about an Egyptian warrior wanting to win the heart of an Ethiopian girl called Aida. Here is some lyrics - If only I were that warrior! If only my dream might come true! An army of brave men with me as their leader And victory and the applause of all Memphis! And to you, my sweet Aida, To return crowned with laurels, To tell you: for you I have fought, For you I have won! Heavenly Aida, divine form, Mystical garland of light and flowers, You are queen of my thoughts, You are the splendour of my life. I want to give you back your beautiful sky, The sweet breezes of your native land, To place a royal garland on your hair, To raise you a throne next to the sun.
La presente partitura (de las muy pocas de esta opera) parece muy austera sin mayores MELODÍAS impactantes... me da la ligera impresión que el GENIAL lírico Pavarotti se desperdicia con estas presentaciones pobres de Música...Pareciera que Aida, solo se refugia en la popular y espectacular interpretación; "la marcha triunfal" .... Solo como ejemplos, las Operas "la traviata", "carmen" o "elixir de amor" y tantas otras tan excelentes, son extraordinariamente riquísimas en melodías...
This is so much missed, we do not have this grand singing on the stage, though this is not the best year of Pavarotti, it still tells why he is so much loved across the globe! Bravo!!!
@@nickcowie ua-cam.com/video/ASXYB_TQjpc/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/eaf7MUldPN4/v-deo.html Not only passed prime, but also not his preferred repretoire at all. But still glorious better than 3 tenors era. His voice is a stretch for the whole thing, especially later act. His favorite role is L'elisir d'amore according to himself. Yet the world wanted him to be heavy hero of Verdi's.
@@nickcowie I do not know Munich 86??? Pavarotti aged fast, looking back, opera fans were so disappointed and worried of the downward trend after the 50's flooding of artists, especially tenors, giant ones every streets of italy!!! P's appearing is a medicine of calming, and Sutherland used him, the tallest and most handsome figure to match, toured all over the world, elevated him greatly. It is not surprising for those real voice lovers not appealing to P's voice, cause most recordings were done after his prime. Only when digging deep into his early stuff, one can see the real of him. And he helped Carreras to do the 3 tenors, turned into flooding popular, but true opera lovers hated that to death, laughing stock always. His worst voice period, but not Pavarotti's fault. And Domingo free riding the benefit wildly even today.
@@nickcowie One of my favorite tenors, to sing this and Nessun Dorma, true dramatic, extremely under appreciated. ua-cam.com/video/LPzoZIY6G5I/v-deo.html
Ouvia quando criança uma coleção de meu avô Joaquim de óperas. Esse trecho Celeste Aida é um dos meus preferidos. Aqui com magistral Luciano Pavarotti.
per rinfrescarti la memoria 1 anno fa tu avevi scritto cito: - The bess Tenor ever! fine citazione. Allora una domanda sola con molto rispetto naturalmente cosa facciamo con i tenori tipo Enrico Caruso,Fernando de Lucia,Miguel Fleta,Galliano Masini, Pertile,Gigli,Piccaliga,Marconi, Paoli,Schipa,Enzo de Muro Lomanto,De Muro, Lauri-Volpi,Björling,Gigli,Franco Corelli,Mario del Monaco etc.etc.etc... più di 100 Tenori tutti con voci meravigliose liriche vere?... se ho capito bene dal tuo commento tu credi che Pavarotti è migliore di loro? beato tu!
Carissimo , non avevo dimenticato Lauri Volpi 1 mese fa avevo scritto alla fine dei nomi da me citati etc.etc.etc... più di 100 Tenori tutti con voci meravigliose liriche vere. Lauri Volpi è una icona,era il nostro idolo negli anni 60,la sua vocalità era il nostro ideale. Lauri Volpi era un fenomeno. ps. alla fine dei conti adesso vedo che avevo dimenticato fra i primi 10 nomi dei tenori il nome del Grande Lauri Volpi ! hai ragione ! la vecchia amico,la vecchia ! vado à scriverlo subito ! grazie ! con stima !
@@valasina2015 Nobody likes everything. The only videos here that have all positives votes are those with 10 views. Any video with over a 1000 views would have someone who doesn't like it. I don't think it's Bocelli's fans, I think it might be people who like dramatic tenors in this role, or maybe people who think all great tenors come from the first half of the 20th century or maybe even earlier. (edited to add) My guess, though, from reading some comments including those in Italian is that it's people who preferred someone like Corelli in this role (which is both a dramatic tenor and the one from the time before Pavarotti).
@@jewelmarkess I was being sarcastic. Andrea Bocelli is not an opera tenor. He does sing opera arias, but he combines these with folk songs and other pieces in his concerts. I have heard that his voice needs amplification in order to be heard. It has also been said his voice needs electronic enhancement as well. In his videos, the ones I have seen, his mouth is about one inch from the microphone. I do not believe he is considered a true colleague by members of the operatic profession. Classical music critics have not given his performances favorable reviews. As far as Pavarotti's suitability for this role, yes, there are people who prefer the voice of a spinto or a dramatic tenor to that of a lyric. Unfortunately, there are people who prefer spinto and dramatic tenors to lyric tenors in just about every tenor role there is, simply because they like to hear and feel the "power." I don't think that sort of "power" works very well with Bellini, but I've listened to arguments about that. "A te, o cara." Let's give that one to the Tenor of the Line. Ah, the incredible, exquisitely beautiful voice of Luciano Pavarotti.
@@valasina2015 I agree. Re: Bocelli unamplified. He did try singing in unamplified operas in smaller theaters - he got these gigs because of his pop tenor fame, and the results weren't great (according to reviews). They say that without the help of a microphone, the voice sounds thin and rasping. According to a review of his performance in Chicago Lyric Opera some years ago, he did manage to get himself heard, mostly, but the voice sounded thin, and the mezzo that sang with him didn't know what to do - sing in full voice and drown him or hold back and ended up doing a little of both at different times. I cannot seem to find that review. He also sang in one recital at the Met. It was with a piano, so easier to get heard. They covered the orchestra pit, and moved the piano forward over it to get the full advantage of the acoustics. There is a video here somewhere, and the voice sounds different from the usual amplified stuff even in a recording. One of his fans wrote how he could hear him from the balcony, but with the way the Met acoustics works with the sound traveling upward and being reflected from the walls and the ceiling, the best acoustics is actually at the cheapest seats in the top. The sound is also reflected from the walls. The worst acoustics at the Met is in the orchestra where there are "dead zones". I remember being at the Met with a friend. We had pretty nice orchestra sets. Not close to the stage, but not too far back either. My friend had some issues with the ringing in his ear after his car accident, so after the performance he complained how the singers were drowned and he couldn't hear them. I could hear the singers, but my guess was that something with this ringing in the ears interfered with the high formant frequency that opera singers use to "wrap" the sound that helps them to be heard.

+MikeAgoBrigante Pavarotti dal vivo aveva la voce del tenore lirico leggero. Nel repertorio leggero era bravissimo. Purtroppo la sua voce era poco adatta al repertorio lirico spinto. Dal vivo era così. Quando lo ascoltavo dal vivo spesso mi chiedevo quale repertorio canterebbe Pavarotti se il microfono non esisteva... E quale sarebbe la sua sorte del tenore se nacqui nel epoca di Masini,Gigli,Pertile, Merli,Fleta,Caruso ?... no comment.
+Alba Pozzi Si, è vero nel repertorio leggero Pavarotti era inimitabile... È ovvio che Radames è un ruolo poco adatto alla vocalità leggera di Pavarotti. Nemorino -si. Radames-non.
Venía decepcionada de escuchar a Kaufman y me encontré con Luciano, que no me decepcionó nunca! Gracias Dios por habernos dado a Pavarotti! Hoy es una estrella más en el firmamento!

Celeste Aida, forma divina, Mistico serto di luce e fior, Del mio pensiero tu sei regina, Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor. Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti, Le dolci brezze del patrio suol, Un regal serto sul crin posarti, Ergerti un trono vicino al sol. Oh!

always so, maybe the most popular tenor that excites the crowds across the globe...
And the uniformly louf sound he makes throughout this aria. nothing like the way verdi wanted it to be sung. Try Johan Botha

That is the passagio, when you place the voice in readiness for a high note. If you do not do that, the sound will be forced and strained.
@@davidwhyberd7612 that last note is far beyond the passaggio, though, which in tenors is generally considered F, F#, and G, correct?
That last high note is supposed to be pp. Johan Botha sang th aria as Verdi wrote it.
He is not only the greatest singer who ever lived, he is the greatest singer who will ever live.
Oh dear!

Ascolti Corelli Aida 1954.... capirà che Pavarotti in Aida emetteva vagiti da bambino
Hahahahah voce potente, certo è evidente che non hai mai sentito cantare tenori come Merli Filippeschi Bonisolli Giacomini Labo' Atlantov Tucker Vinay Barioni Pertile Uzumov MdM Marazoff Vichers, Nikolov,Pavarotti grande stazza piccola voce x giunta microfonata.
@@eugeniogentili1048 Senta, ma lei li ha mai ascoltati dal vivo? Da cosa può dedurre che quelle voci erano più potenti di quella di Pavarotti? E comunque non credo proprio che la voce di Pavarotti era microfonata in teatro... scempiaggine!
Perché sono tutti tenori drammatici quelli che ho elencato, invece il tuo Pavarotti è stato un tenore lirico di grazia dalla vocalità leggera sempre microfonato.
Tra l'altro come diceva spesso il grande Franco Bonisolli, Pavarotti Carreras e Domingo tutti e tre messi insieme non valevano la sua voce.
I've always loved this song even as a child, and I've heard many sing it, but none can touch the heavenly perfection of Luciano singing it. His is the voice of angels and he is also a beautifully manly figure of a man! RIP, dear one.
Omg I miss this gift from God there will never be another God bless you Luciano Pavarotti
possibly the greatest rendering of this difficult aria ever given.
Hear Corelli's version !
@@abcdefgh-db1to i heard and he is not perfect. Pavarotti make it much much better, absolutely the best. Don't you hear that?
@@Jack_Sparrow17 How is he not perfect ?! He owns the aria, the power the squillo and the unparalleled diminuendo, Pavarotti lacks the power and was never good at diminuendos.
@@abcdefgh-db1to Pavarotti is very powetful, balanced and perfect , just listen the phrase "Celeste Aida". Corelli sing it like upstart "Celeste aiDDAAA". It sounds very vulgarly. Oh man you are not a musician, just shut up, you know nothing about that.
@@Jack_Sparrow17 this "vulgar way of singing" is called open chest, whereas Pavarotti sings it in covered chest, it's two different way of singing the phrase, conveying different emotions, both being equally difficult to master, and both singers having mastered both.
I'm not saying Pavarotti is a bad singer, not at all, I'm saying he is not suited for the role, which is a spinto role, just like Corelli, whereas Pavarotti is a leggero tenor.
And no, Pavarotti isn't very powerful, listen to live performances where the mic is far away in the audience, then you will see the difference in power between Pavarotti and Corelli
what a voice waht a breath control what a wonderful singer waht a man
thank you so much luciano
Most people don't know how difficult this aria is. Forget catching your breath.
51 years old at that time, so powerful.
As far as i'm concerned... Pavarotti could sing me the phone book and it would be beautiful. Not an actor, even when he tried... but the voice... Ah, the voice!
The phone book 😂😂😂
I like him in Rigoletto and Pagliacci very much. His Recitar is the best...I cried
Se quel guerriero io fossi😍😍😍mia dolce aida!!!grandissimo luciano
Can't believe there are thumbs down for his performance! Check your ears people cause nobody sings this as well as Pavarotti! Smh!!!
Mistake, Tucker and Del Monaco are better.
Pavarotti over Tucker as far as voice quality..Tucker was a great actor..
Pavarotti was a lyric tenor. This aria is for Spinto Tenor or Dramatic, like Corelli, Tucker or Del Monaco.
Pavarotti quiso hacer de todo. Nadie niega su excelente técnica y su buena voz, pero no se puede abarcar todo el universo en un mano. Cada quien en su lugar. Él era ideal para roles como Rodolfo, Nemorino, Alfredo o Tonio, pero no para repertorio más pesado como Manrico en el Trovador, Turiddu, Calaf o Canio de Pagliacci. En mi opinión fue muy osado y no es de mi gusto. Hay que respetar el carácter de cada rol, por algo los compositores escriben para voces específicas.
Pavarotti wanted to do everything. No one denies his excellent technique and good voice, but can not cover the entire universe in a hand. Everyone in place. He was ideal for roles as Rodolfo, Nemorino, Alfredo and Tonio, but not to heavier repertoire as Manrico in Trovatore, Turiddu, Canio in Pagliacci or Calaf. In my opinion it was very daring and is not to my taste. The character of each role, must be respected.
+marmirc8322
right you are-the role is just too heavy for him
Pav was a supreme big voiced lyric, but less interesting in spinto roles

Grandissimo Pavarotti !!!!!
È proprio Pavarotti. Non possiamo che arrenderci dinnanzi questo mostro sacro.
Pavarotti was really the best and will remain for a long time, King Dó (Brazil)
ragazzi, di Pavarotti ce n'è uno e come lui non c'è nessuno
di microfoni invece tanti!!!!!!!!!!!!!
voce insufficente per questo ruolo
non sono i microfoni che fanno una voce bellissima ma e l'ugola e inutile avere la voce grossa che sembra una grattugia
The song is about an Egyptian warrior wanting to win the heart of an Ethiopian girl called Aida.
Here is some lyrics -
If only I were that warrior!
If only my dream might come true!
An army of brave men with me as their leader
And victory and the applause of all Memphis!
And to you, my sweet Aida,
To return crowned with laurels,
To tell you: for you I have fought,
For you I have won!
Heavenly Aida, divine form,
Mystical garland of light and flowers,
You are queen of my thoughts,
You are the splendour of my life.
I want to give you back your beautiful sky,
The sweet breezes of your native land,
To place a royal garland on your hair,
To raise you a throne next to the sun.
Me encantaba de Pavarotti, además de su gran voz y talento, carisma y sencillez, que parecía no costarle ningún trabajo cantar así :) ¡Viva Maestro!
La presente partitura (de las muy pocas de esta opera) parece muy austera sin mayores MELODÍAS impactantes... me da la ligera impresión que el GENIAL lírico Pavarotti se desperdicia con estas presentaciones pobres de Música...Pareciera que Aida, solo se refugia en la popular y espectacular interpretación; "la marcha triunfal" .... Solo como ejemplos, las Operas "la traviata", "carmen" o "elixir de amor" y tantas otras tan excelentes, son extraordinariamente riquísimas en melodías...
feb 2016. what can I say? I miss you Pavarotti ! there is no other can equal this great man!!
This is so much missed, we do not have this grand singing on the stage, though this is not the best year of Pavarotti, it still tells why he is so much loved across the globe! Bravo!!!
but what IS the best year?!

Not only passed prime, but also not his preferred repretoire at all. But still glorious better than 3 tenors era. His voice is a stretch for the whole thing, especially later act.
His favorite role is L'elisir d'amore according to himself. Yet the world wanted him to be heavy hero of Verdi's.
@@道-p2e Love both of these! Never the biggest fan of Pav and French but that recording is stellar. I do love 86 Pav though, Munich 86 has some gems.
@@nickcowie I do not know Munich 86???
Pavarotti aged fast, looking back, opera fans were so disappointed and worried of the downward trend after the 50's flooding of artists, especially tenors, giant ones every streets of italy!!! P's appearing is a medicine of calming, and Sutherland used him, the tallest and most handsome figure to match, toured all over the world, elevated him greatly. It is not surprising for those real voice lovers not appealing to P's voice, cause most recordings were done after his prime. Only when digging deep into his early stuff, one can see the real of him.
And he helped Carreras to do the 3 tenors, turned into flooding popular, but true opera lovers hated that to death, laughing stock always. His worst voice period, but not Pavarotti's fault. And Domingo free riding the benefit wildly even today.
@@nickcowie One of my favorite tenors, to sing this and Nessun Dorma, true dramatic, extremely under appreciated.

Паваротти и есть Паваротти, один из лучших теноров последних лет!
Le TENOR - la VOIX - l'accord parfait INEGALABLES- MERCI PAVAROTTI -
I think every comments is needless. It is a gold standard of "Celeste Aida".
nadie nunca aguanto la nota final como el.cuanto te extrañamos.
Ouvia quando criança uma coleção de meu avô Joaquim de óperas. Esse trecho Celeste Aida é um dos meus preferidos. Aqui com magistral Luciano Pavarotti.
Inarrivabile
Самое лучшее исполнение арии Родомеса. Безподобно, непревзойденно. Эмоции самые волнующин, самые прекрасные.
Паваротти не превзойденный Родомес.
Радамес
The best Tenor ever!
+Adler Horst
con microfono si...
Pavarotti was the master! The best tenor I know.
per rinfrescarti la memoria 1 anno fa tu avevi scritto cito:
- The bess Tenor ever!
fine citazione.
Allora una domanda sola con molto rispetto naturalmente cosa facciamo con i tenori tipo Enrico Caruso,Fernando de Lucia,Miguel Fleta,Galliano Masini, Pertile,Gigli,Piccaliga,Marconi, Paoli,Schipa,Enzo de Muro Lomanto,De Muro,
Lauri-Volpi,Björling,Gigli,Franco Corelli,Mario del Monaco etc.etc.etc... più di 100 Tenori tutti con voci meravigliose liriche vere?...
se ho capito bene dal tuo commento tu credi che Pavarotti è migliore
di loro?
beato tu!
bodiloto caro amico ha dimenticato lauri volpi
Carissimo , non avevo dimenticato Lauri Volpi 1 mese fa avevo scritto alla fine dei nomi da me citati etc.etc.etc... più di 100 Tenori tutti con voci meravigliose liriche vere.
Lauri Volpi è una icona,era il nostro idolo negli anni 60,la sua vocalità era il nostro ideale.
Lauri Volpi era un fenomeno.
ps.
alla fine dei conti adesso vedo che avevo dimenticato fra i primi 10 nomi dei tenori il nome del Grande Lauri Volpi !
hai ragione !
la vecchia amico,la vecchia !
vado à scriverlo subito !
grazie !
con stima !
Luciano sei grande
How anyone could give it a thumbs down is behond me must be idiots greatest singer ever.
There will always be someone. Probably a Bocelli supporter! LOL
@@valasina2015 Nobody likes everything. The only videos here that have all positives votes are those with 10 views. Any video with over a 1000 views would have someone who doesn't like it. I don't think it's Bocelli's fans, I think it might be people who like dramatic tenors in this role, or maybe people who think all great tenors come from the first half of the 20th century or maybe even earlier. (edited to add) My guess, though, from reading some comments including those in Italian is that it's people who preferred someone like Corelli in this role (which is both a dramatic tenor and the one from the time before Pavarotti).
@@jewelmarkess I was being sarcastic. Andrea Bocelli is not an opera tenor. He does sing opera arias, but he combines these with folk songs and other pieces in his concerts. I have heard that his voice needs amplification in order to be heard. It has also been said his voice needs electronic enhancement as well. In his videos, the ones I have seen, his mouth is about one inch from the microphone. I do not believe he is considered a true colleague by members of the operatic profession. Classical music critics have not given his performances favorable reviews. As far as Pavarotti's suitability for this role, yes, there are people who prefer the voice of a spinto or a dramatic tenor to that of a lyric. Unfortunately, there are people who prefer spinto and dramatic tenors to lyric tenors in just about every tenor role there is, simply because they like to hear and feel the "power." I don't think that sort of "power" works very well with Bellini, but I've listened to arguments about that. "A te, o cara." Let's give that one to the Tenor of the Line. Ah, the incredible, exquisitely beautiful voice of Luciano Pavarotti.
@@valasina2015 I agree. Re: Bocelli unamplified. He did try singing in unamplified operas in smaller theaters - he got these gigs because of his pop tenor fame, and the results weren't great (according to reviews). They say that without the help of a microphone, the voice sounds thin and rasping. According to a review of his performance in Chicago Lyric Opera some years ago, he did manage to get himself heard, mostly, but the voice sounded thin, and the mezzo that sang with him didn't know what to do - sing in full voice and drown him or hold back and ended up doing a little of both at different times. I cannot seem to find that review. He also sang in one recital at the Met. It was with a piano, so easier to get heard. They covered the orchestra pit, and moved the piano forward over it to get the full advantage of the acoustics. There is a video here somewhere, and the voice sounds different from the usual amplified stuff even in a recording. One of his fans wrote how he could hear him from the balcony, but with the way the Met acoustics works with the sound traveling upward and being reflected from the walls and the ceiling, the best acoustics is actually at the cheapest seats in the top. The sound is also reflected from the walls. The worst acoustics at the Met is in the orchestra where there are "dead zones". I remember being at the Met with a friend. We had pretty nice orchestra sets. Not close to the stage, but not too far back either. My friend had some issues with the ringing in his ear after his car accident, so after the performance he complained how the singers were drowned and he couldn't hear them. I could hear the singers, but my guess was that something with this ringing in the ears interfered with the high formant frequency that opera singers use to "wrap" the sound that helps them to be heard.
Questa l ho sentita in diretta dalla Scala e mi deluso. Ma io venivo da altre Aide..
amazing version!!
Ascolti e riascolti e ringrazi tutti gli dei per questa voce . Immenso Pavarotti ❤️
Franco Corelli è infinitamente migliore.ua-cam.com/video/j8gkIPg7pw0/v-deo.html

Rien à dire de plus que tout ce qui a été écris

Merci maître tu me manque
Inimitabile! Come Pavarotti più nessuno.... almeno fino ad ora!
Alba Pozzi non aspettare invano.
Ho paura che tu abbia ragione!
+MikeAgoBrigante
Pavarotti dal vivo aveva la voce del tenore lirico leggero.
Nel repertorio leggero era bravissimo.
Purtroppo la sua voce era poco adatta al repertorio lirico spinto.
Dal vivo era così.
Quando lo ascoltavo dal vivo spesso mi chiedevo quale repertorio canterebbe Pavarotti se il microfono non esisteva...
E quale sarebbe la sua sorte del tenore se nacqui nel epoca di Masini,Gigli,Pertile, Merli,Fleta,Caruso ?...
no comment.
+Alba Pozzi
Si, è vero nel repertorio leggero Pavarotti era inimitabile...
È ovvio che Radames è un ruolo poco adatto alla vocalità leggera di Pavarotti.
Nemorino -si.
Radames-non.
autor dé celeste aida
grande Pavarotti
unico.gracias luciano.
Incredible voice! I always find myself shaking my head in amazement at the end of this aria. Grazie, Maestro!
I love this aria😍
Andrea Jimenez me too
fu il migliori tenore d'italia, l'o avevo visto quando aveva stato qui in argentina, io sono argentina nipote d'italiani
Venía decepcionada de escuchar a Kaufman y me encontré con Luciano, que no me decepcionó nunca! Gracias Dios por habernos dado a Pavarotti! Hoy es una estrella más en el firmamento!
Electrifying brilliance like only he could....unique singer.
Big P, your voice is immortal and out of comparison, thanks to utube also
El mejor de todos los tiempos...

Se quel guerriero
lo fossi! se il mio sogno
Si avverasse! Un esercito di prodi
Da me guidato, e la vittoria e il plauso
Di Menfi tutta! E a te, mia dolce Aida,
Tornar di lauri cinto...
Dirti: per te ho pugnato e per te ho vinto!
Celeste Aida, forma divina,
Mistico serto di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol,
Un regal serto sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol.
Oh! Celeste Aida, forma divina,
Mistico raggio di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero ecc.

끝내준다. 이런 테너가 다시 나올 수 있을까?
PERFECTION!!!
Yo pienso que Luciano Pavarotti Ha sido el mejor cantante Italiano del universo entero me fascina tengo pocas canciones pero demasiadas obras y charita que ya se murio pero es bueno
complejísima y temida aria ejecutada magistralmente por el gran Luciano!
Best of all times! :-) Wonderful!
Estupendo bravo maestro!!!
