Pavarotti is known as one of the best 5 tenors in the world at these time (cause it is hard to say for everyonewhi is really the best) The three tenor are 3 of these 5 tenors.. Made some shows and also some cds together. These happend around 20 years ago.
Pavarotti's idol was this man - Mario Lanza, seen here in a film from 1958. Makes the hairs stand on your skin. The best version ever sung of this beautiful aria, by an extraordinary talent who passed well before his time. His expression, breath control, and dynamics leaves you speechless. So utterly tragic was his untimely death. "Vesti la Giubba (Vestee-la-joobah) comes from the late 19th century opera Pagliacci, (Pag-lee-ah-chee) and tells the brief tragedy of the stage clown Canio. In the story, he discovers his wife is having a love affair. This song is played while he's being forced into makeup and costume and put onto a stage with her there, because it's too late to stop the show and they must perform.!" th-cam.com/video/rRhmogBs-gU/w-d-xo.html
This is what I call vocal orgasm, and I mean this in a way that expresses the ultimate full body emotion that humans can achieve when hearing such perfection.
It's amazing how many people don't listen to or claim they don't like classical music but as soon as they listen to a little bit of it, a whole new world or music opens up to them
Fabulous tenor, fabulous aria. I love watching people who aren't into opera appreciating this performance. So wonderful to see open minded people who see the beauty in all sorts of music. Love it!
I saw him half a dozen times in the early 70's when I worked at Philharmonic Hall in Lincoln Center. He transcends all genres, and is in a class by himself. I have watched many reaction videos, and he has the same effect on everyone who hears him, no matter what their musical preferences may be! I feel privileged to have heard him in person!
He received a 20 minute standing ovation. The greatest tenor ever, and so greatky missed, i was actually in Italy in 2007 when he died. The outpouring of grief was unimagimable. He was a national treasure.
The Three Tenors were the three best tenor voices of their generation. They consisted of Luciano Pavarotti, an Italian, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, both Spanish. They performed a concert in Paris at the Olympics. Carreras was the youngest and making his debut after battling leukemia. The other two treated him like their little brothet. You should check out the three of them singing O Sole Mio from the same concert. They were having so much fun trying to outdo each other. Its priceless.
Yes it is Italian. I know there are many tenors who have good & strong voices, but the thing about Pavarotti is the emotion & passion that he put into his singing that the others lack. It's kind of like comparing Sinatra's version of "My Way" to Elvis' powerhouse emotion-filled version.
@@UnholyKat The pronunciation of some of the words is a bit dragged out, particularly on "dorma" @ very opening & a tiny bit off-key in another spot of the version I heard (do not understand the words & closed caption isn't working.) But either way, for me it lacks the passion that Pavarotti emotes.
@@UnholyKat I think and I know people will urrrg over this but L P was always considered so good but he wasn't fantastic he was fashionable at the time Dame Joan Sutherland said she had to teach him how to breath correctly as he had never been taught
@@lesleycollis7520 Well, that's fine to be taught something you may not know or need help with -- it's nice to have support & help when it is needed. If he was not taught correct breath then he got the help he needed -- that is not a negative upon him. But I definitely would not refer to him as "fashionable at the time" -- or maybe he was BECAUSE it was the emotion that stemmed from the soul & his gut that really made him who he was. It's kind of like the power & emotion Elvis put into his songs where others sang like they were slightly sedated.
It is hard not to be moved by this performance. During the 1990s three of the most famous tenors of the time Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and José Carreras would periodically get together and do projects. My sense is the hype of them singing together had a lot of people (like me) listening to opera for the first time. I still know very little about opera and can probably only identify about 5 of the most well-known arias but this is breathtaking.
What really helps luciano be the best is his perfect diction and perfect pitch and that’s to say nothing of his sensational ability at the high “c”! Simply the greatest in my opinion.
@@setonhillstudios he truly is and although not the same type of music, being English myself, I’ll always say Freddie has the greatest voice of any genre but in opera, for me, nothing and no one comes close to this man.
The last note at the end is not a high C, actually is a B4. I had no idea, I just learned the fact from a vocal coach on TH-cam who made that comment,.
i'm not a huge Opera fan but two of my favourite songs of all time are Nessun Dorma by Pavarotti and Time to Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. They always evoke goosebumps and huge emotions even after hearing/watching a million times :).
I have heard a number of singers perform Nessum Dorma, but THIS THIS performance is THE top one. I have it on CD, as well as a 5 disc Pavarotti set. This recording is immaculate! Always watch reactions to it.
It is absolutely stunning! The raw emotion is unreal and you can’t tell he put his whole heart and soul into it! Amazing! Thanks for watching and have a great one! 😃
This is real “goosebump” singing. Not many things give you actual goosebumps but this does it every time. Enjoy your journey into listening to many beautiful Operatic Arias it will enrich your ear. 👏🇮🇪
Luciano Pavarotti sang with other artists outside of the opera realm. He put out a few albums that were from charity concerts called "Pavarotti and Friends". One of my favorites is Luciano with James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, singing James' hit "It's a Man's World". He also sang with Canadian rocker Bryan Adams performing the Italian opera classic "O Sole Mio". These were performances with full orchestra and most were done around the year 2000/2001. Lucian passed away in 2007 so it was toward the end of his life. His voice was still so powerful. For another opera collaboration you will like Freddie Mercury with Spanish Opera diva Montserrat Caballe. Freddie wrote a whole album of songs along with Mike Moran and the music and performances are fabulous. There are three performances on video here on TH-cam. The songs titled "Barcelona", "How Can I Go On" and "The Golden Boy" aren't to be missed!
@@setonhillstudios This is a link to Queen (after Freddie passed) and Luciano Pavarotti performing Brian May’s song “ Too Much Love Will Kill You”. It’s just Brian and Luciano singing. Video is here: th-cam.com/video/C7FGPIRJx6I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DnIbpX2V9rFBYp9K
The „3 Tenors“ were great three tenors on the nineties: Luciano Pavarotti, José Carreras and Plácido Domingo. Both were tenors acting in Opera houses around the world, but not competitors but friends. So they decided to go on tour together as „the three tenors“ and perform a „best of“ of opera arias and other songs to make their art accessible also to a broader audience.
I do listen to a lot of classical music, but Opera is not typically my primary focus. That said, the control, and precision of his voice is stunning. I don't speak Italian, but he is so clear that I could write down every word, and someone who does speak Italian could translate it for me. He is being as laser focused on every aspect of his performance as all of the greatest violin soloists I've ever experienced. A true master.
This is rapidly becoming my favorite TH-cam channel. I love that you recognize how great different styles can be. I've never been into opera really, but I've heard Pavarotti a number of times and absolutely love his voice. I love listening to music that's well played/sung and care less about the style.
He doesn' t havea group. The three tenors was done maybe 3different times, one at lweast was around christmasmaybe 1999 with 2 other operatic tenors, placido domingo and jjose carreras. Luciano is my favorite and Nessun Dorma is most fantastic and never fails to bring me chills, excitement, awe and regeneration. Thank you for featuring him.
Listen to the duet between Pavarotti and Zuchero. Or Pavarotti singing La Danza. He had perfect pitch and incredible diction. In my opinion, he was the greatest. He had such charisma, and the voice... just a joy to listen to.
We don't have to know the words.. his voice just makes it happen.. love it My Mother and sister loved Opera.. not me.. I'm a hair band girl.. but this song gets me every time I hear it. And yes.. Luciano was Italian.. If you don't appreciate that voice .. I don't know. You don't accept music in your heart. Coming from a hairband era girl.. beautiful
Pavarotti sang with such passion, and every note was absolute perfection! Everything he sang is beautiful. I love his voice. He always gives me chills no matter how many times I hear him. The Greatest tenor ever!
The recording is incredible but you should be there in the concert hall. The sheer presence of the orchestra with the vocals and the acoustics of the hall. It is an experience that cannot be duplicated with headphones or earbuds. You need to be there. And, yes, it is another world of music that is all about fidelity and sound reproduction and "classical" instruments. I hope you get the opportunity to experience a great orchestra in a great hall. There's nothing else like it.
When Pavarotti was aked who his favourite tenor singer was, he answered "Fritz Wunderlich". The german tenor singer Fritz Wunderlich sadly passed away at the age of 35 (< he felt down the stairs in his house *RIP) ... There is not much video footage avaible as Fritz was born in 1930 and died in 1966, just a few weeks before performing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. He did a german version of this song called "Keiner schlafe" ... Anyway: If you want to check him out, I would recommend his audio recording of "Granada". < you don't have react to it, but you should listen to it! Pavarotti said he's good - I confirm! ;)
Super reaction❤ The Aria is about a young Man who is trying to win over Girl he loves. He wins her over and at the end, he sings. VICTORY, sweet Victory, VICTORY. ❤❤
It doesn't get better than this in operatic tenors!! The.Three Tenors are three of the greatest operatic tenors in the world who sometimes came together to do a concert, each showcasing a particular aria or two. Ordinarily they sang solo either in concert or an opera.
Watch even the others... The three Tenors are Luciano Pavarotti, Josè Carreras and Placido Domingo. They are absolutely incredible! The three Tenors together, not only Pavarotti, is the best thing you could hear in your life.
Yes 3 tenors Pavarotti, placido Domingo, Jose Carera, i.m a Canadian soprano living in Italy from Pavarotti school i am on you tube thank you for your reaction ❤
What does it mean first time hearing? After 20 years I hear Pavarotti I still cry every time. Nobody and I repeat and stress NOBODY ever sang the Turandot - Nessun Dorma like Pavarotti.
@@alessioandreoli2145 It means I’ve never heard it until I sat down and shot this video. Such a beautiful performance and thanks for watching! Have a great one! 😄
A couple of things. The first is that anything by Puccini packs a really subtle and unstoppable hard emotional punch. This is from one of his operas. The second is that operas are drams set to music and the music, which can stand on its own as you see here with Nessun Dorma, becomes even more powerful when you know what's going on in the story. Third, most are in either Italian, French or German, so to know and understand the story, even though they often throw subtitles up on a wall it is much better to have studied the opera a little, read through it or a synopsis, so you aren't going in green.
As an Italian I must say how much Americans misses out about world music, there is a universe outside the USA and you guys have no idea how much creativity exists out there. Africa right now for example is a laboratory creating new spectacular sounds that the US will never hear.
I don’t think it’s from lack of wanting to know and hear from other cultures though. I’m definitely having fun exploring all these genres of music! Thanks for swinging by! 😀
R.I.P., Maestro....this aria, sung by all the great ( and near great ) operatic vocalists, both male and female, is from the opera "Turandot"......the synopsis is a tale of love that seems to be doomed......."Nessun Dorma " = ' no one is sleeping '.......Pav's delivery of the last line, "Vincero" ( I will win ) is among the most moving in operatic arias.......
You always think you e heard a great voice, then you hear a trained opera singer and you see the difference. I sing opera chorus, so I hear these guys up close, very powerful. A trained singer would not use a microphone in a theatre. Pavarotti is acknowledge as amongst the best. Even though I do classical I love soul and blues. I agree with others Pavarotti and James Brown s magical.
I hope you continued down that rabbit hole. In this concert, the 3 tenors sang arias from many different operas. Luciano Pavarotti was famous for the lead role in the opera "Turandot", where he performed this aria numerous times over the span of his career. His facial expressions at the end are part of the act because opera performers have to sing AND act their parts. The 3 tenors first concert was at Cara Calla, an ancient ruins in Rome. It is also here on TH-cam, as well as many complete operas with English subtitles so you know what they are singing about. Start by watching lighter, comedic operas like The Barber of Seville or the Marriage of Figaro. Then check out Carmen, Madame Butterfly, LaTraviata, to name a few. You will be amazed.
I've heard this video many times so I was watching you. I wanted to see your face when Pavarotti started singing. Your eyes got "as big as saucers" and bigger and bigger as the song continued! 😅 My Mom used to say that saying all the time. I'm in my 70's so Mom's generation was a very long time ago. She was born in 1928, died a few days before her 86th BD in 2014. I only tell you this because as your face lit up and your eyes got bigger, my Mom saying "as big as saucers" was the first thing I thought of! Mom was born & raised on a cotton farm in SW Oklahoma and her family had a very folksy, southern vocabulary with the accent to match. Mom pretty much lost her accent after moving to Kansas and as I grew up I don't ever remember her having the accent (except when we were in Oklahoma visiting her family 😅), but she had those sayings all her life. It was funny that I always picked up the accent also, only in Oklahoma, even though I had never lived there . . . Y'all. 😂😅🤔🙃 Anyhoo . . . this performance is beautiful and wonderful, your face was amusing and wonderful and it was wonderful for that lovely memory of my beautiful Mom with her quirky sayings! Thank you for that -- all that in less than 10 minutes time! 😢
To expand on unreal artists, I highly recommend Dimash Kudaibergen singing an Opera written for him by Igor Krotoi, OLYPMICA sang at a Olympic event. Dimash is a multi instruments, sings in 12 languages including Mandarin, 7.5 octave range. He just turned 30 and also performed a Duet with Placido Domingo, one of the 3 tenors less than a year ago.. He sings all styles of music. Rock, rap, ballads, pop. For your first time hearing him, I recommend SOS sang in French. Dimash is considered the greatest vocalist in the world with millions of fans or as he calls us, Dears. Get ready to jump in the rabbit hole and experience Dimash. 💕❣️
Quite simply sublime. I listen to primarily rock and soul music but this is sublime. The first Vincerò he's at 9, the second he turns it up to 10 then the final Vincerò he goes all the way to 11 😲
He is without a doubt the best tenor of all time. Soprano is Maria Callas, listen to something from Madam Butterfly. This magnificent art will never die. I also adore Placido Domingo .
Luciano... Pronounced LU-CHA-NO, not lu-chi-a-no. I am delighted you have found the glory of opera. Luciano Pavarotti 1(2 October 1935 - 6 September 2007). Greetings from Florence, Italy.
I always get goosepimples hearing this. Also not my usual go to type of music but occasionally it's good for the heart. Freddie Mercury with opera singer Montserrat Caballe singing "Barcelona" , might interest you if you haven't already reacted to it. I only found and subbed tonight so haven't had much time to check all of them out✌
I haven’t heard that yet, but thanks for the suggestion and the sub! This is such a beautiful piece of music and I’m so glad you found the channel! Have a great one!
My boxer loves operas, adores tenors, and this is her favorite. She will literally stop chasing the Frisbee or ball if she hears this play. She just came running from the other room and is staring at my phone. She's a bit annoyed you stopped the video to speak. 😂
Haha 🤣 Well I’ll tell her like I tell everyone, our channel isn’t for everyone. 🤷🏻♂️ I love boxers so much! We used to have 2 of them! So much energy!!
Me encantó tu reacción...tenes que escuchar a forestella...un cuarteto sur coreano que mezcla estilos de opera rock y pop..te va a estallar la cabeza...abrazos desde Argentina
Bit of geek knowledge here. This part of the performance is a little over 3 minutes long. That standing ovation you see starting at the end. That lasted over 20 minutes!!! But I do have some bad news. The Great Luciano is up in Heaven, but he isn't allowed to rest. God has him on a 2 century contract to teach the Angelic choir to sing with more power.
Te recomiendo la canción O Mio Babbino Caro con la orquesta de Andre Rieu y Amira Willlighagen. También Time To Say Goodbye con Sarah Brightman y Andrea Bocelli, y el Dueto de las Flores con Amira Willighagen y Corlea Botha. Muy buena reacción y muchas gracias por los subtítulos. Saludos desde Ciudad de Guatemala en Centro América.
He was on aussie tv once, with our John Farnham. He asked John how many operas he had been in? John said none, i'm a rock singer. John did grenada with Anthony Warlowe, aussie opera singer. And JC Superstar, he played JC himself. Try "Gethsemane" from the last night, sunday, Sydney aus.
Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown, from Home Free, did Two country singers try singing opera. Rob studied opera in college and this is his father's favorite aria. Check it out even if just for yourself. It is on Austin Brown's solo channel.
There are a couple of videos you also might like of Pavarotti: check out Vesti la giubbe (watch the one with subtitles); Pavarotti doing "Caruso" (a fairly contemporary Italian pop song about the famous, historic tenor, Caruso), that's at the Eiffel Tower; there's also Che gelida manina with Pavarotti singing (clip from the opera La Boheme) online. There are a couple of videos online of Pavarotti doing Nessun Dorma where he holds that last note for an unbelievably long time. One is at the Eiffel Tower, but there is no chorus and so those voices are missing/missed. Another looks to be from some sort of movie when he was younger, and the length of time he holds that note is just astounding. But, in his later years he brings a gravitas and depth to the aria that is missing from his younger, perhaps more technically-impressive rendition. I prefer this later one, it strikes me as richer, warmer, more passionate, and having more humanity, even wisdom.

What you have just seen is in one word PERFECTION no other word fits
Simply the GOAT, THE best tenor of all time.
Unreal!!! Loved this so much! ❤️
No.
He's one of about 6 to 10 that are well above the rest, from his era Domingo, Corelli, Bjorling, Lanza, Di Stefano etc
Placido Domingo was better.

Thanks for the suggestion and hanging out! So much more for me to discover! Have a great one! 😁
Gets ya' deep in your soul, doesn't it?
No doubt about it! Beautiful!
We don't have to know the words.. his voice just makes it happen.. love it My Mother and sister loved Opera.. not me.. I'm a hair band girl.. but this song gets me every time I hear it. And yes.. Luciano was Italian.. If you don't appreciate that voice .. I don't know. You don't accept music in your heart. Coming from a hairband era girl.. beautiful
Pavarotti sang with such passion, and every note was absolute perfection! Everything he sang is beautiful. I love his voice. He always gives me chills no matter how many times I hear him. The Greatest tenor ever!
The recording is incredible but you should be there in the concert hall. The sheer presence of the orchestra with the vocals and the acoustics of the hall. It is an experience that cannot be duplicated with headphones or earbuds. You need to be there. And, yes, it is another world of music that is all about fidelity and sound reproduction and "classical" instruments. I hope you get the opportunity to experience a great orchestra in a great hall. There's nothing else like it.
che musica fantastica
💯
Beautiful. Thank you so much!
Grazie mille, Pavarotti ❤🙏
Prego.
Music lovers can recognize greatness ❤ from Pink Floyd to this
Absolutely! This was so powerful and I absolutely loved it! Thanks for watching!
When Pavarotti was aked who his favourite tenor singer was, he answered "Fritz Wunderlich". The german tenor singer Fritz Wunderlich sadly passed away at the age of 35 (< he felt down the stairs in his house *RIP) ... There is not much video footage avaible as Fritz was born in 1930 and died in 1966, just a few weeks before performing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
He did a german version of this song called "Keiner schlafe" ... Anyway: If you want to check him out, I would recommend his audio recording of "Granada". < you don't have react to it, but you should listen to it! Pavarotti said he's good - I confirm! ;)
Fritz Wunderlich was an amazing singer!
So enjoyed your reaction to the GOAT!
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for swinging by the channel! 😄
so much power and it seems to come so easy out of him
💯 Truly phenomenal!!! 🔥
that'swhy he is the great tennor of all times you know !
SO GLAD YOU LISTENED AND DIDN'T BREAK IN AND MAKE COMMENTS INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO THE POWER OF THE LUCIANO PAVAROTTI
Super reaction❤
The Aria is about a young Man who is trying to win over Girl he loves.
He wins her over and at the end, he sings. VICTORY, sweet Victory, VICTORY. ❤❤
Thanks so much! This was absolutely incredible! ❤️
It doesn't get better than this in operatic tenors!! The.Three Tenors are three of the greatest operatic tenors in the world who sometimes came together to do a concert, each showcasing a particular aria or two. Ordinarily they sang solo either in concert or an opera.
Watch even the others... The three Tenors are Luciano Pavarotti, Josè Carreras and Placido Domingo. They are absolutely incredible! The three Tenors together, not only Pavarotti, is the best thing you could hear in your life.
For an opera/rockstar mix, you can't beat Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe singing Barcelona ❤
Yes 3 tenors Pavarotti, placido Domingo, Jose Carera, i.m a Canadian soprano living in Italy from Pavarotti school i am on you tube thank you for your reaction ❤
Luciano is God in human form!
Definitely UNREAL!!! 🔥
I think you might enjoy IL Volo. They're a young trio who are from Italy and are fabulous 😊
Appreciate it! I’ll have to add them to the list! Have a great one!
Proud Italian here 🇮🇹
Hey there!!! Nice to meet you and thanks for stopping by the channel!
What does it mean first time hearing? After 20 years I hear Pavarotti I still cry every time. Nobody and I repeat and stress NOBODY ever sang the Turandot - Nessun Dorma like Pavarotti.
@@alessioandreoli2145 It means I’ve never heard it until I sat down and shot this video. Such a beautiful performance and thanks for watching! Have a great one! 😄
A couple of things. The first is that anything by Puccini packs a really subtle and unstoppable hard emotional punch. This is from one of his operas. The second is that operas are drams set to music and the music, which can stand on its own as you see here with Nessun Dorma, becomes even more powerful when you know what's going on in the story. Third, most are in either Italian, French or German, so to know and understand the story, even though they often throw subtitles up on a wall it is much better to have studied the opera a little, read through it or a synopsis, so you aren't going in green.
goosebumps
DIVINE
Unreal!!! Thanks for hanging out!
As an Italian I must say how much Americans misses out about world music, there is a universe outside the USA and you guys have no idea how much creativity exists out there. Africa right now for example is a laboratory creating new spectacular sounds that the US will never hear.
I don’t think it’s from lack of wanting to know and hear from other cultures though. I’m definitely having fun exploring all these genres of music! Thanks for swinging by! 😀
He cries through his voice
R.I.P., Maestro....this aria, sung by all the great ( and near great ) operatic vocalists, both male and female, is from the opera "Turandot"......the synopsis is a tale of love that seems to be doomed......."Nessun Dorma " = ' no one is sleeping '.......Pav's delivery of the last line, "Vincero" ( I will win ) is among the most moving in operatic arias.......
Now you know why waner bros was best record company once in a lifetime experience you never see again in a lifetime
You always think you e heard a great voice, then you hear a trained opera singer and you see the difference. I sing opera chorus, so I hear these guys up close, very powerful. A trained singer would not use a microphone in a theatre. Pavarotti is acknowledge as amongst the best. Even though I do classical I love soul and blues. I agree with others Pavarotti and James Brown s magical.
Oh wow! That’s super cool! I wish so could sing but I can’t carry a tune in a bucket! 🤣 Thanks for the insight and appreciate you hanging out!
Well .. sorry to say, this IS the top. A proverbial 'hard act to follow.'
I hope you continued down that rabbit hole. In this concert, the 3 tenors sang arias from many different operas. Luciano Pavarotti was famous for the lead role in the opera "Turandot", where he performed this aria numerous times over the span of his career. His facial expressions at the end are part of the act because opera performers have to sing AND act their parts. The 3 tenors first concert was at Cara Calla, an ancient ruins in Rome. It is also here on TH-cam, as well as many complete operas with English subtitles so you know what they are singing about. Start by watching lighter, comedic operas like The Barber of Seville or the Marriage of Figaro. Then check out Carmen, Madame Butterfly, LaTraviata, to name a few. You will be amazed.
Pavarotti singing "La Donna E Mobile" is an absolute treat as well! 😁
I've heard this video many times so I was watching you. I wanted to see your face when Pavarotti started singing. Your eyes got "as big as saucers" and bigger and bigger as the song continued! 😅
My Mom used to say that saying all the time. I'm in my 70's so Mom's generation was a very long time ago. She was born in 1928, died a few days before her 86th BD in 2014. I only tell you this because as your face lit up and your eyes got bigger, my Mom saying "as big as saucers" was the first thing I thought of! Mom was born & raised on a cotton farm in SW Oklahoma and her family had a very folksy, southern vocabulary with the accent to match. Mom pretty much lost her accent after moving to Kansas and as I grew up I don't ever remember her having the accent (except when we were in Oklahoma visiting her family 😅), but she had those sayings all her life. It was funny that I always picked up the accent also, only in Oklahoma, even though I had never lived there . . . Y'all. 😂😅🤔🙃
Anyhoo . . . this performance is beautiful and wonderful, your face was amusing and wonderful and it was wonderful for that lovely memory of my beautiful Mom with her quirky sayings! Thank you for that -- all that in less than 10 minutes time! 😢
yes, is italian, the opera is Turandot
Gotcha! Thanks so much for the info and appreciate you hanging out! 😁
Pavarotti il N. 1. Ci manchi tanto❤❤❤ciao da Roma
This was so beautiful! Thanks for stopping by the channel! ❤️
To expand on unreal artists, I highly recommend Dimash Kudaibergen singing an Opera written for him by Igor Krotoi, OLYPMICA sang at a Olympic event.
Dimash is a multi instruments, sings in 12 languages including Mandarin, 7.5 octave range. He just turned 30 and also performed a Duet with Placido Domingo, one of the 3 tenors less than a year ago..
He sings all styles of music. Rock, rap, ballads, pop.
For your first time hearing him, I recommend SOS sang in French.
Dimash is considered the greatest vocalist in the world with millions of fans or as he calls us, Dears.
Get ready to jump in the rabbit hole and experience Dimash. 💕❣️
Quite simply sublime. I listen to primarily rock and soul music but this is sublime.
The first Vincerò he's at 9, the second he turns it up to 10 then the final Vincerò he goes all the way to 11 😲
Luciano was the maestro!
Watch him with the 3 Tenors. Placido Domingo sings magnificently with Pavarotti!
Thanks so much for the insight! I cannot wait to hear more from him! Goosebumps initiated! 🔥
He is without a doubt the best tenor of all time. Soprano is Maria Callas, listen to something from Madam Butterfly. This magnificent art will never die. I also adore Placido Domingo .
🔥🔥🔥
Luciano... Pronounced LU-CHA-NO, not lu-chi-a-no. I am delighted you have found the glory of opera. Luciano Pavarotti 1(2 October 1935 - 6 September 2007). Greetings from Florence, Italy.
I always get goosepimples hearing this. Also not my usual go to type of music but occasionally it's good for the heart. Freddie Mercury with opera singer Montserrat Caballe singing "Barcelona" , might interest you if you haven't already reacted to it. I only found and subbed tonight so haven't had much time to check all of them out✌
I haven’t heard that yet, but thanks for the suggestion and the sub! This is such a beautiful piece of music and I’m so glad you found the channel! Have a great one!
My boxer loves operas, adores tenors, and this is her favorite. She will literally stop chasing the Frisbee or ball if she hears this play. She just came running from the other room and is staring at my phone. She's a bit annoyed you stopped the video to speak. 😂
Haha 🤣 Well I’ll tell her like I tell everyone, our channel isn’t for everyone. 🤷🏻♂️ I love boxers so much! We used to have 2 of them! So much energy!!
Me encantó tu reacción...tenes que escuchar a forestella...un cuarteto sur coreano que mezcla estilos de opera rock y pop..te va a estallar la cabeza...abrazos desde Argentina
So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the recommendation! Have a great one!
I know the last three lines say I will win ! I will win! I will win!
So beautiful!!! ❤️
Bit of geek knowledge here. This part of the performance is a little over 3 minutes long. That standing ovation you see starting at the end. That lasted over 20 minutes!!!
But I do have some bad news. The Great Luciano is up in Heaven, but he isn't allowed to rest. God has him on a 2 century contract to teach the Angelic choir to sing with more power.
Te recomiendo la canción O Mio Babbino Caro con la orquesta de Andre Rieu y Amira Willlighagen. También Time To Say Goodbye con Sarah Brightman y Andrea Bocelli, y el Dueto de las Flores con Amira Willighagen y Corlea Botha. Muy buena reacción y muchas gracias por los subtítulos. Saludos desde Ciudad de Guatemala en Centro América.
Thanks so much! 😄
He was on aussie tv once, with our John Farnham. He asked John how many operas he had been in? John said none, i'm a rock singer. John did grenada with Anthony Warlowe, aussie opera singer. And JC Superstar, he played JC himself. Try "Gethsemane" from the last night, sunday, Sydney aus.
The whole opera can be seen at movie theaters across the country this wednesday through the metropolitan opera broadcasts
I recommend 9 year old Amira Willighagen "O mio babbino caro" with André Rieu and 15 year old Emma Kok "Voilà", also with André Rieu.
We actually reviewed Emma Kok here on the channel! She was phenomenal! 🔥
Rob Lundquist and Austin Brown, from Home Free, did Two country singers try singing opera. Rob studied opera in college and this is his father's favorite aria. Check it out even if just for yourself. It is on Austin Brown's solo channel.
I’ll have to check that out! Really appreciate it! This performance was absolutely amazing! ❤️
Iconic he has the emotion. Check out his work with His friend Ian Gillan from Deep purple
There are a couple of videos you also might like of Pavarotti: check out Vesti la giubbe (watch the one with subtitles); Pavarotti doing "Caruso" (a fairly contemporary Italian pop song about the famous, historic tenor, Caruso), that's at the Eiffel Tower; there's also Che gelida manina with Pavarotti singing (clip from the opera La Boheme) online. There are a couple of videos online of Pavarotti doing Nessun Dorma where he holds that last note for an unbelievably long time. One is at the Eiffel Tower, but there is no chorus and so those voices are missing/missed. Another looks to be from some sort of movie when he was younger, and the length of time he holds that note is just astounding. But, in his later years he brings a gravitas and depth to the aria that is missing from his younger, perhaps more technically-impressive rendition. I prefer this later one, it strikes me as richer, warmer, more passionate, and having more humanity, even wisdom.
