Your reaction is priceless! 50 years ago I was a young Black kid from The South Bronx, working my way through college at Philharmonic Hall in Lincoln Center. Because I worked with the box office staff, when the shows started I was off, and I could take any empty seat in the house. I was lucky enough to hear Pavarotti sing at least half a dozen times. He filled the hall with his voice and his spirit. He was a big man with a big heart. There was never a dry eye in the house when he sang. I still find it hard to listen to this without tears welling up in my eyes.Thank you so much for introducing him to a whole new generation. I will be 70 in a few weeks and I have always believed that one should listen to every kind of music you can get your hands on, no matter where your life began!
Thank you.
You lucky to see that.I saw Louie Armstrong once .
@@jamestobler8473 I would have loved to see Louis live! It's funny that you should write this today. This afternoon I was watching him on TV in the movie "High Society", with Bing Crosby, and Grace Kelly. Synchronicity, big time!
What a great story! Thank you for posting.
@@christinescheiner5194 My pleasure!
Congratulations, you've just listened to one of the greatest singers who ever lived on this earth. Mr. Pavarotti is a legend now and forever 🙏✨
"From life, to memory, to stories, to legend, to myth."
The look on your face takes me back to the first time I was introduced to Pavarotti !!!
At first your speechless then your just gobsmacked and then there’s the
tears !!!!
My dad (who introduced me to Pavarotti, I was 12yrs old at the time) put his earphones on me and told me to listen to the greatest singer I’ll ever hear, he told me I would never ever hear a voice like that again in my lifetime, so far he’s right !!!!
I’m so glad you shared your Pavarotti experience with us, you will never ever forget it, the time the day his name and even the title of the song even tho you don’t understand a word of it !!!
Ask anybody to name an Opera singer and instantly the answers Pavarotti !!!!
Love to everyone, from Scotland 🏴🏴
I was one of those people who “didn’t like opera” until I LISTENED to it. So beautiful, so powerful.
No matter how many times I have heard Pavarotti sing this, it reduces me to tears every time.
Same!
Me too
Yes..everytime.
It’s one of my favourite arias and no matter how many times I hear it I always get goosebumps and a tear runs down my face.
Ditto 😢
This performance to me feels like a victory lap of human culture.
Old dead white man Western European culture. HAHAHAHAA!!!
thats probably why the climax is "at dawn I will win" :D
Perfectly said.
Brilliant description
Believe me ther is no one who can get close to Luciano with nessado it’s is forever I am 82 and brings me to tears every time gratis Italian tenner
Io continuo a piangere ogni volta che ascolto Luciano Pavarotti, osservo il suo viso, l'impegno che mette, la concentrazione per raggiungere questa perfezione, non sbaglia una nota e... E gli voglio bene, è una persona che ha dato tutto se stesso per la musica e per il pubblico 💕
Potrà sembrare una cosa altisonante e anche sin troppo nazionalista, ma credo che l'Italia abbia avuto (ed abbia ancora) i migliori tenori e le migliori soprano del Mondo.
Many people aren't into opera but there is no denying that this man is probably the greatest vocalist of all time. Utterly astounding a human can do this.
Muitas das pessoas que dizem não gostar, infelizmente é porque não tiveram a oportunidade ou paciência para sentar, por um par de fones de ouvidos, se por em um ambiente silencioso onde ela possa vivenciar toda a produção da música e deixar a música invadir sua alma. Quem faz isso e não chora ouvindo Pavarotti simplesmente não tem alma, não tem sentimentos.
Placido Domingo does it as well nessun dorma
the end brings tears to my eyes EVERY SINGLE TIME
My wife does the same. I "just" have goosebumps. What makes me cry is soprano's arias like "the Queen of the Night" in "The Magic Flute".
Me too.
Me too. E-ver-y time!
@@mauritaschut8466 yes me too each and every time
Justin Bieber's version is better.
If this man's voice doesn't move you, you have no soul. RIP Luciano XXX Loved seeing your reaction Jordon.
I like his reaction, just put it back ! You want to listen to that melody over and over - it is better then any drug ! Life fells better after that.
Every time I hear this song, my heart just swells.
I was thinking the same thing. I still get choked up hearing this.
I dont Like it! Does that mean that i have No Soul?😮
@@davidjones-bh5xg I have no idea David. But his voice did move you, just not in a positive way I guess, so I suppose that would mean you do have a soul after all 👍
The terrifying thing is when you realize that he was 59 at the time of this performance... and understand that (like every other human) his voice was even more powerful when he was younger.
Not really, in fact his teacher didn't think he was ready until he was almost forty. Like wine the voice need to mature but this is something we Italians only can fully understand.
@@edigabrieli7864 Not so. Pavarotti was fantastic here. Even at nearly 60 he's better than other tenors at the height of their careers. Even so, the only thing better than Pavarotti here in this video in 1994 is young Pavarotti in the 60's and 70's when he was in his 30's and 40's. His voice is absolutely scintillating with a tone that's so pure it's breathtaking. In fact, if you can find it, the audio recording of his professional stage debut in La Boheme in the 60's is on TH-cam. He went on as the understudy, and someone made an audio recording of his first aria. When he hits the high C, you can literally hear the audience gasp because of the purity of his tone. That gasp is the sound of a star being born. Although Pavarotti is superb in this performance from 1994, all singers lose their luster over time. Pavarotti was no exception because he was human, too. Still, even he can't compare to himself from the 60's and 70's. His voice was definitely more powerful and with even more clarity in his tone. It seems impossible just hearing how good he is here at nearly 60, but it's the truth. His voice was transcendent in the 60's and 70's.
I've heard this hundreds of times over the years and I still get goosebumps every time and tears too. Just amazing isn't he?
When I was in the UK during my dads last illness and death , I played this DVD continuously while driving back and forth to the hospital......It made me cry , and helped be grieve ...Thank you Luciano , There will never be another like you ..xxx
Me too
yep. me too. every time.
@@kohedunn I am sorry for your loss. Rest in peace your dad and Luciano.
@@kohedunn don’t forget about Puccini who put together this masterpiece of human achievement.
Also I’m sorry for your loss but glad you atleast had this to console you.
Look at Luciano's face at the end. He knew he had just given his best ever performance of Nessun Dorma. Nobody will ever sing it better.
Yup. The absolute high from that, in synch with awe at the power beyond himself that worked through him. God.
@@harmoniabalanza Which god is that?
I'm of two minds as to which rendition was best. At the Caracalla Baths four years before or this rendition. Either way, we're totally spoiled to have the chance to argue over which was best!
@@christopherharris6145 Music. I don't know what he told people but his real God was Music
Pavarotti was pushing 60 here, which is remarkable. He still sounds brilliant, but it is far from his best. Listen to the high note on the 1979 Lincoln Center video, for example--it is effortless and held longer. Totally agree that no one will ever sing it better, though 🙂
It is said that if an opera brings you to tears, you have the soul of an artist.
I must add to your most apt comment. I read some years ago that of an opera audience, the ladies sit there, bemused by the story, and it is the men who cry, who sob.
I am afraid I cry, so I cannot confirm this.
This song always makes me cry and I still have no clue what its about
Brings tears to my eyes every time.
@@gladyslustgirdle3004 The funny thing is that when Pavarotti delivers that last bit you can see his eyes tear up and the shock on his face as the rush of endorphins & dopamines kicks in to the point of near orgasmic emotional intensity as it passes through his body & soul. I think even he is shocked by his own abilities at times.
I'm going through my 10th kitchen paper towel listening to Pavarotti. I'll blame it on my flu
Hi, empathetic and sensible young man ❤️
I’m a 60 years old Italian lady and I really got impressed by your reaction listening to Pavarotti.
You’re very sensitive to music cause your expression changed in the “right” moments. You really feel music and this is awesome.
I’m so proud to be Italian as my country is the heart of opera music.
This is not a song, it’s a “romanza”, a piece of an opera, composed by Giacomo Puccini, called Turandot.
The action takes place in China and Turandot is a princess. Her beloved is Calaf and this is the one who sings “nessun dorma” that means “nobody has to sleep”.
This part of the opera has become a kind of hymn for Italian people because the last words are “all’alba vincerò “ (at dawn I’ll win).
This is the music played, for example, during every important event, especially when our acrobatic air team flies showing our flag colors in the sky 😍
I don’t want to be boring 😁
So glad you appreciate our music!!!
I Hope you'll enjoy the translation, Aldo the lyrics are so intense:
Calaf, the unknown prince :)
None shall sleep! None shall sleep! You too, princess,
In your cold room
You watch the stars
Trembling of love and hope...
But the mistery of me is locked inside of me
No one will know my name!
No, no, I will say it on your mouth,
When the light will shine!
And my kiss will melt the silence
that makes you mine.
(Choir, voices of women:)
No one will know my name...
And we will, unfortunately, have to die, die!
(Calaf, the unknown prince:)
Leave, oh night! Set, stars!
Set, stars! At sunrise I will win!
I will win! I will win!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful addition of background information. It makes listening to this gorgeous piece even more meaningful. Grazie!
@@serenacossa2497 Oh my god. 💞💖💓💗❤
Nothing boring at all in learning some more about a true masterpiece. I hope you will forgive me for what I say next. But I will explain afterwards. I can never say RIP to The Great Pavarotti. The reason though is that although he has passed from this mortal realm, a Demi-God among men like him will NEVER truly die. Legends live forever. Thank you so much for sharing the slight overview that you have on this Masterpiece
I just saw Andrea Bocelli sing this last night in Raleigh, North Carolina, and it made me think I could be very happy to be Italian! I've been to Italy three times and I love it there.
For us Italians is iconic ❤ our flying acrobatic team ends the show with this song….they all fly over the sea with the end of this song and our flag colors. So moving ❤
they do? I'm from Italy too, never knew about that. Interesting
Song??? Are you sure to be Italian? For as long as I remember we call it Aria.
Puccini is one of the more emotional composers. Your reaction to it is pretty much the same for most people. So happy you shared this with a new generation of listeners. This kind of stuff must never be forgotten--it's just too good. Try O soave fanciulla.
I heard Luciano in his prime in concert, and got to meet him. It was the thrill of a lifetime! He said his vocal chords were kissed by God. He was right.
Jealous!!!!
I saw him multiple times, and I can testify that "The Voice", as he called it, was indeed a divine instrument!
Oh, I am so envious ... wish I had had a chance to hear him live, let alone meet him! RIP Maestro
Me too. I worked on repairing his costume and was backstage for his American debut w Joan Sutherland. I saw him several times in his young prime. Heaven sen gift.
Don't apologise for liking this. I'm a rock guy but it reduces me to a gibbering mess every time I watch it. Now - for something different - the duet with James Brown "It's a Man's World." Owwww!
totally agree.... the emotion. and ditto also the James Brown duet. Brilliant.
Same - old rocker here, but I've had this on my playlist for years, and every time I hear it I get shivers
The duet with Traci Chapman is amazing as well.
Love Pavarotti, I’m also impressed with Andrea Bocelli he was helped along by Maestro Pavarotti.
James has been my man since I was 14!
Saw him in Baltimore, Maryland with my wife in the early 1990's when we were 40 years old. He sang for close to an hour, had all of the audience 1) in tears for the beauty of his voice; and 2) had us causing the entire building to vibrate because of the applause and screams upon completion of his performance - IT WAS BETTER THAN ANY MUSICAL OR VOCAL GROUP OR CONCERT PERFORMANCE WE HAD EVER SEEN IN OUR LIFETIME !
💞 Thank you for sharing this once in a lifetime moment ~So Blessed.
I would have loved to have been there experiencing it too.
😍 I Had the blessing of seeing Mikhail Baryshnikov dance back in the 80's & I floated out of the theatre ~ in complete disbelief of what my eyes had been blessed to see 👀🤗.
Hoping these next generations can realize the importance of seizing the moments to see these magnificently
talented artists too.
Every time I hear Pavarotti sing this song it makes me cry. He sings from his soul, and it touches mine.
THIS PERFORMANCE IS STUNNING IN THAT YOU CAN SEE HIM 'GO THERE' 100%, & WHEN COMPLETE YOU SEE HIM SLOWLY COME BACK, WATCH HIS EYES, HE IS 'THERE'! IVE SEEN HIM LIVE 2X. ANYTHING HE SINGS IS MAGICAL. WELCOME ABOARD!
Just the look on his face at the end... you can tell he goes to another place...his soul is just freed. It's spectacular. There really are no words to describe this talent.
Yes. It's like he sees God.
immortal moment
@@RS54321 in certain circles in rome this la performance is referred to as "gods touch" its as if god stroked his face and his face shows that moment you are very observant not many know or see it
@@scruffylee Wow, cool! Yes, I totally picked up on the spiritual aspect of his expression. Com'é se dice questa espressione in Italiano?
Yes, his expressions are interesting, aren't they? Remember that this is just the most famous aria from a full opera, and opera is as much about acting as it is about singing. He's using the facial expressions that convey the character's emotions: a character he played a thousand times on stage. If you don't know already, look up a translation of the lyrics and a synopsis of the play's plot. Better yet, watch a performance of the whole opera. His facial expressions take on new meaning when you do.
I cry every time I hear this performance. Yes Pavorotti. Give props to Puccini...that MUSIC!
You're got to wonder what Pavorotti and Puccini are working on together now!
Pavarotti, ciao
The Italians!
PAVOROTTI..? MA COME CAZZO SCRIVI.??? PIERO roma
Luciano is going to go down in history as one of the greatest tenors of all time. Back in the 1970s I fell in love with him. I'm almost 70 now, and I still love to hear him sing. His voice is so natural...he was so humble.
Respect to you for your respect and appreciation to one of the greatest who ever sang! Prior to Italia90 the World cup, majority of us knew nothing about opera or this unique gentleman, we do now. He will always be immortal!
That is a lack of musical education in modern times.
Your reaction is typical of many I have seen when listening to the greatest tenor ever for the first time. My own preference in music is rock but if you can't appreciate a man like Luciano Pavarotti then you don't like music.
Same here I listened to this when I was little mom always had it on never liked listening now unbelievable, I am ozzy fan and rock
"let me know if there's anymore powerful performances..." lol...EVERY performance by Pavarotti is powerful, he went big and hard every time like the true operatic master that he was
Maybe this: th-cam.com/video/Eg-59NoES2o/w-d-xo.html
It is difficult to compare them. For me they are all "the best" in their own way.
Someone please tell Jordonick the story behind the aria. I love how he is grooving on the
Performance as pure sound but I’m sure he’d love to know the story . Mary G
@@Antonio-qm3bi Truth be cold, Corelli was the best. Even Luciano said it, he said he had "vocals of steel". Coming from Luciano, that's a VERY BIG compliment.
I always refer to him as Il Maestro.. His voice was a gift from God to the world.
Fine, the uninforned here this: JUST. GREAT. !!!!
Somehow you showed up on my feed tonight. I have chills listening to both of you. Congratulations. Every human must hear this. This is why we exist.
Essere italiano è una grande fortuna , nasciamo circondati di meraviglie . Musica ,arte, architettura, paesaggi e città meravigliose . Una fiaba in terra ,anche con i suoi lupi cattivi ! Ma ne vale la pena . Grazie Maestro Luciano !
It's powerfull. And so is his voice. No one could fail to feel this.
His voice is out of this world - every time I listen to this aria I am getting goosebumps and tears in my eyes !!
In his documentary he stated that when he performs on the stage he goes there to die.
He sings from the soul. Great Reaction, real reaction.
It also was a reference that in most of his opera performances, he died at the end of it. Loved his humor.
Montserrat Cabelle the same
Actually the diaphragm, but okay 😆
@@frankiebowie6174 actually not just the diaphragm but hey most people know very little about opera and you are no exception it seems
@@jackwhitbread4583
How rude!
Only a few legends can touch our soul like this, don't worry he gets everyone, nice reaction!!!
He certainly got to me. I'm a big classic C/W fan. I fell in love with George Jones the first time I heard his voice. He stayed my favorite C/W singer and is still number one to me. Never cared for opera. When I lived in Germany as a child my mother dragged me to listen to opera. She wanted to teach me our German culture. I always was bored to tears. But When I stumbled across Pavarotti, I clicked on it by accident. I was totally speechless, never knew opera could sound like that. The ones my mother dragged me to, never sounded like that. My whole body was covered in goosebumps. I listen over and over to that mans voice. It was my soul reacting to his voice. And for a talent like his, to get throat cancer had to be devastating to him. I didn't knew the details about his life, till I read almost all the comments. What a Zauberhaftes voice he had. I was spell bound. I know that I will listen to more of his soulful and so much emotion packed songs over again. His voice comes directly from his soul. When he sang, he was transported to another dimension. You could see it on his face and transported me with him.
@@gigih.hammer306 It is the same, I think, with Mahalia Jackson. She was sent by God to give us a little beauty, since we ef the world up so much.
@@jeannecarroll683 I agree with you about Mahalia. When she sings Go Tell It On The Mountain, she touches my very soul. Pavarotti was in a class by himself. There were many good tenors but he stole my heart with his beautiful voice.
Yes,all normal human will react like this to his voice!In the end when he sings that He will win,I cry my eyes out every time.
His voice is what you’ve felt in your heart if you have loved and lost
No matter where we live or what race or colour this song goes straight to your heart forever x
Aria...not a song but an Aria. To us Italians the word "Song" when applied to Operas is offensive. Songs are something else like belonging to the uneducated masses.
Pavarotti - the best tenor ever to grace this planet over the last few hundred years.
Totally agree
Well we can’t know for sure as they weren’t all recorded for us to hear. That being said he’s the best I ever heard. Had the chance to see him live during his farewell tour. He’d lost a bit of that amazing instrument, but was still incredible.
In Italy , so many tenors like Di Stefano, Gigli, Del Monaco , Caruso ... were as good as Pavarotti but not so famous . Ciao
May I interest you in Jussi Björling? A swedish tenor, of whom Pavarotti is famously known to have said "Please, don't compare me to Björling. I'm just a man."
@@jontraz5993 Björling was incredibly powerful I agree. I put him right at the top of the list as well. I never got to see him perform.
This song is the perfect example of when you find yourself crying because of art. It embodies the divine despite being done by humans. Luciano Pavarotti is the most beloved singer in Italy, he is not even put together with any other singer because he is on a league of his own in our minds.
In my mind too. And heart.
I literally break down and cry everytime I hear this! Perfect!
Amen brotha 🙏🏽
I can't see how any human on earth could not be moved by this performance! Thank you ! (it always seems to me like he's staring at something unworldly while singing this)
Have listened to this for years - still gives me chills (in a good way) every single time.
Pavarotti was applauded for twenty minutes standing, no other singer has received that honor ... ever
actually the longest applause was for pavarotti in Berlin 67 minutes.... one hour and seven minutes, wow he has the record for curtain calls, also 165 in one night,
@@ellenlyons7413 wow. I didn't know that and it gave me chills! Well deserved and thanks for the wonderful information.
@@ellenlyons7413 Lol he must have been so annoyed eventually
The best of the best! So proud to be Italian!
Me too 👍
I agree it makes us all so proud to be Italians we can sure bring it
Me too!
@@williamgallucci9913 so can the Welsh.
Thank you for sharing your experience. No one can hear this and not be touched by it. It stops me in my tracks when I hear it. I have to sit down and hold my hands on my chest to keep my heart from breaking. I am an 84 year old great grandmother. I was touched by your reaction and hope you always carry this memory in your heart. Bless you, new friend.
That voice comes from heaven
I had the privilege of hearing him in Utah and he took 5 curtain calls. Bravo sing out throughout the hall. Luciano Pavarotti was the great tenor of all time.
😳😳😳 ❗5 Curtin Calls ❓😳😳😳
You can listen to nessun dorma a thousand times but you will still get goose bumps every time you listen to it
Puccini and Pavarotti . Legends.
Absolutely. Puccini's music is sublime. Pavarotti's voice is a divine gift.
Lanza before them all.
Yes, a few weeks ago I listened to this very track 30 times in a row. I stopped because I had to go. Very few songs I can do that with.
I'm as old as the hills, a Granddad by TH-cam standards, just thought I'd say this. My late father, god rest his soul, went through the hell of WWII, from start to finish. On one tour he made his way to the coast on a train filled with brave soldiers and sailors bound by their duty to go to War. Either to cross the English channel to fight in Europe or to head out on ships to fight on the high seas. On that train was a young Welshman, nothing more than a boy really. The young man stood up and started singing 'Nessun Dorma' and the song 'Danny Boy'. The young man's voice was so beautiful the higher Ranked Officers actually insisted the train be stopped so as many as possible could hear him sing... A good percentage of those soldiers and sailors never made it home. Including the young Welshman who sang for them. He lost his life fighting for his country.
You made me cry.
@@susanwenner8738 I never meant to make you cry Susan and I apologise for it. But that is a true story. In a way I appreciate your seeing the sadness in it because it passes on a small window into the brutal world my late father was part of. But it is only one of many, a lot of which are absolutely horrifying. I grew up hearing those first hand accounts (and my fathers Nightmares as he relived them in his sleep). Some would say they are not the sort of thing you should tell children but I disagree, because without those eye witness accounts being passed through the generations those sacrifices would be lost forever. History is being actively changed as we speak simply because those accounts are Too 'Uncomfortable' for what has become an Ungrateful world. These days weak people latch on to the 'Bad' in history and conveniently forget that the very soil they walk on is drenched in the blood of thousands upon thousands of Brave Men and Women who laid down their lives so those weak, thankless people could even have a right to an opinion. In all honesty and with good reason, they make me sick :(
@@lilbullet158 believe me I understand completely. My dad and uncles fought in WWII and my son Iraq 2003-2005. So many stories with so much pain.
@@susanwenner8738 Then it would seem I'm preaching to the choir, so to speak. Much respect to yourself and your loved ones.
Ah, reminds me of my late Welsh Uncle Mike. Also loved to get up and sing in any public place. May they rest in peace. I should say he was in British army after WW2 as well in Malaysia.
He sings for people, he sings for sorrow and joy - and not least, he sings for the angels who wish us well.
This was like the "perfect storm'', the singer, the song, the musicians , the choir... and yes, even the audience energy feeding into it to the point of incandescence !! It burns into your soul... 😌
😎👍☘️🍺
His breath control was divine. His voice comes from his soul.
Funny, that's what people said about my grandfather Tito Schipa. I think it's a comment often heard in opera as it is the ultimate goal of the art.
@@kurtn4819 You are right, of course! 😊
No dorma is a romance from Puccini's opera Turandot. It is sung by the character of Calaf at the beginning of the third act. Immersed in the Beijing night, in total solitude, the "Unknown Prince" awaits the dawn, when he will finally be able to win the love of Turandot, the ice princess. Pavarotti is the best tenor in the world. No discussions. If you understand the lyrics during the romance you maybe could cry so i. Sorry for my English. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Puccini wrote wonderful music. Madama butterfly is just as beautiful
trust me I am almost always crying or close to tears even without understanding a word. Greetings from Germany
@@6666Imperator And I believe you and it's true. I just wanted to say that Italian is a beautiful language and in opera the combination lyrics-music is magical. "Dilegua notte tramontate stelle all'alba vincerò ". Thanks for your opinion, i appreciate it. 🙏
@@banamarco true I didn't mean it as a knock on your statement. More like a reassurance that the feelings get through to us listeners despite the different languages :)
Puccini wrote this while battling throat cancer and hoping to finish this his last opera before he died. Sadly he never completed it as he suddenly died from a heart attack after enduring the treatment for the cancer which consisted of cutting a hole in this throat and inserting radium needles into the tumor. The opera was eventually completed by Franco Alfano. At the first performance which was conducted by Toscanini , Toscanini put down his baton at the point in the 3rd act where Puccini stopped composing turned to the audience and said "This is where the Maestro put down his pen, for me the work ends here" . The completed opera was performed the second night.
This brings a tear every time I listen to it…if I’ve listened a thousand times then I’ve cried at least a thousand tears.
Nobody sings it with the heart & the soul of Pavarotti. The expression on Pav's face as he belts out the magnificent climax of the piece is priceless, it is like he was for a moment so used up of his emotional energy, like part of him left his body with the vocals that are so magnificently ethereal in beauty. That part always gets to me & I cry but it is very cathartic. There will never be another Pav.
You have now fallen down the Pavarotti rabbit hole - he is the most famous tenor who ever lived. You have just scratched the surface - ENJOY
All of his colleagues called him 'maestro' because he was the greatest tenor who ever lived and possibly may ever live. 🐐
It's so good to know that his work is not forgotten. Opera music isn't accessible to everyone, particularly when performed live, but just knowing that today's generation are still discovering the power of the genre through video performance reactions is wonderful to see.
Years back I went to a recital of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa...I was amazed at all the young guests. Last year went to a local orchestra, afterward there was a horde of tweens mobbing the performers like rock stars vying for selfies...who could of imagined!!!❤
ah no that would be Mario Lanza, Pavarotti's mentor. Even Pavrotti knew he never could be as good as Mario.
You hit his name right on point. I hate when people try and cover this song like Bocelli or the Irish tenors and what I hate more is when someone says oh they were just as good as Pavarotti ! The greatest opera singer if not singer that’s ever lived. He’s very Italian mate. he’s pretty much universally accepted as the greatest singer ever in the opera world. He was pushed extremely hard by his coach that he actually quit for quite a few years. My grandfather took my parents to see him musical musical in the 80s and I think it was about $500 a ticket back then. Mom still talks about it to this day play the song‘s funeral. I’m glad he got back into it maximizing his rare talents., I love that your rocket the Yankees hat! What time I had a chance to see him and I couldn’t get out of work and he died not long after. I still kick myself for that one. When he says I will win, I will win, I will win It’s so intense it’s jaw dropping. Opposed to link of him singing this which is actually even better
The voice is coming from the heavens. He’s singing to the princess of the tower, and the choir is singing that he will die and he was saying he will win. He’s gonna win her love he steal her like a thief in the night and no one will know it’s him and then he closes out with I will win over and over. th-cam.com/video/Q_hLh4qCqpg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sXncjJtGRTAjm96b
Your reaction was so pure. No matter what is your preferred genre of music is, you cannot escape the incredible voice of Pavarotti. Even though I never understand a word, it just makes you feel all kinds of emotions. Opera is really a great escape sometimes. 😊
Two things to remember about this particular Pavarotti performance.
I. It was for a charity established by Jose Carreras after his near death experience (very near) with leukemia a couple of years earlier. Has pulled in BuckEts of money over the years, mainly from the sale of the album(s).
2. Pavarotti was by far the oldest of the 3 tenors, born in 1935. If you want to hear the glorious magic of this unbelievable voice at its prime, try any recording you can find from, say, 1985 or earlier. It's like whipped cream, your favourite ice cream and every other luscious indulgence you can think of - all rolled into one.
You have just been introduced to opera! The reason the hair on your arms was standing up is because great singing and music transports us to a place other than this world. It directly connects us to the angels and to the heavens.
Słów brak, prawda? Nie ma takich słów, które by to mogły opisać. To jest czysta sztuka, dar, łaska, coś ponad nami wszystkimi. Pozdrawiam Pana serdecznie. To nie szok, to odezwało się Pańskie serce.
His voice pierces right thru the heart . There will never be another . RIP
I saw a great quote the other day: "He hit that last note like it owed him money."
He is considered one of the greatest male tenors in the history of operatic performers. He also performs with artists like James Brown, Sting and others. His performances are unbelievable.
try him with Zucherro a live performance, it was fantastic, so emotional
Not one of the greatest, THE GREATEST!!!
Thank you for this. Reminding me of my first time. I sang in his back - up choir for his tour to South Africa in late 90s.
Amazing how everyone - no matter their culture - has same goose flesh experience. A little heaven on earth.
You're reaction is what music is supposed to do.....no words to describe it....but YOU felt it. Bravo to you for opening yourself up.....
The way he had to control his breathing to hit those high sustained notes was simply amazing! God gave with both hands to Pavarotti, that's for sure!
Every time I hear Luciano Pavarotti sing I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes. He truly was inspired and a gift from God.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️
It doesn’t matter that I don’t understand the lyrics, but every single time I hear Luciano Pavarotti sing Nessum Dorma my skin tingles and I get the overwhelming feeling of joy that such a powerful operatic song can bring, amazing voice. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸🇺🇦
P.S Subscribed, and a suggestion, watch Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Cabbaleo singing Barcelona, another awe inspiring song.
DITTO about Montserrat & Freddie.
And ...that back story is so beautiful about how that came to be. It is on you tube. It is a must listen.
Makes you feel things you never thought you had! This is Heaven!
It's okay to cry when listening to this song. I always do everytime I hear it
7:00 You and literally BILLIONS of other humans! You get it. Seriously, don't apologize for your reaction. Everyone here probably had the same moment at some point in their lives.
Pavarotti was easily the greatest Tenor to ever live. There have been endless studies, theories, and experiments to try to figure out just what it was about him that made him so unbelievable. It's almost as though he were built by God SPECIFICALLY so that he could give this to mankind. I'm also a tenor (obviously nowhere NEAR Pavarotti) and every time I hear his voice it's like the rest of the world just melts away. His tone, his vibrato, the ease with which he can do almost anything he wants to with his voice...it's magical. So, SO glad to see younger folks such as yourself discovering and appreciating "the great one."
About 40 years ago when I first listened to Pavarotti his voice cracked my heart open and it changed my life.
my man...no matter what you listen to all the time....this is the best music ever sung in the history of earth...that voice cant be matched...he was soooo dang good...dont matter you cant understand a word he is saying....just fantastic stuff man......love it.
A voice straight from Heaven. GOAT
Pavarotti is the voice of god, he's mankinds gift...I loved your reaction, you showed his the respect he deserves. 🏴
He performed so effortlessly and still belts out that powerful voice. He was truly a once in a lifetime talent.
You my friend have just heard the best that has ever been or ever will be
He was Greatness🙏🏻
He is literally breathtaking singing that last note. You should watch Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown's "It's a man's world". Those two icons make it look easy.
...And that's not the longest hold on that last note...go find the "stage version" from his film...
Thanks for letting me relive the experience of first time hearing this performance again. Your reaction is more valuable than you think.
Your reaction to hearing Pavarotti singing is amazing. I'm not a fan of opera but every time I hear Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma I get the same reaction hairs standing on end and tearful. Who would think that music could be so powerful to move you but his voice is incredible.
He gets so into the music that he looks surprised when it’s over. His voice is masterful and hauntingly beautiful! Bravo!
Jonathan Antoine has a great voice too. Very much like the young Maestro Luciano Pavarotti.
@@treywest268 he has a good voice but not great yet, he has a way to go before he is in his prime. Tenors reach their prime in middle age so until then I will reserve judgement
I never cared for opera, but this man gave me a totally different understanding of opera. I got goosebumps all over my body. This was such a powerful performance and it touched me deeply. Jordongk, your reaction felled genuine to me. It actually left you speechless.
The finest tenor Ever and there were many great tenors.
His voice has so much power to fill the air.
Saw Pavoroti in Hyde Park UK very emotional.
Dude, Sting and Pavarotti singing Panis Angelicus. I started crying 1st time I heard it!❤
Nobody has ever watched this and not cry. I’ve lived in Italy for 20+ years. Italians who grow up listening to Pavarotti still cry when they hear his Nessun Dorma rendition. It is indescribable.
No one sings this like Pavarotti did. This man makes me cry every time. The world is a sadder place without him in it anymore. Voice of an angel.
It is a much sadder place.
Luciano's voice was always powerful, but he has almost like a 'cry' in his voice which evokes the emotions. It is a very rare feature in a voice. I was fortunate to watch this on TV when it was streamed after the live concert. He had a very playful side which you see when the 3 tenors sing O sole Mio....very funny! I agree with your reaction....it is like an angel singing from heaven.
Luciano Pavarotti was a beautiful soul with the voice of an Angel. Aretha Franklin's version of this song did him justice when he was unable to perform at the Grammy's.
You have to understand that Pavarotti has the Greatest voice of our time, the Depth, the feeling he puts into singing combined with his voice it touches your soul.
You said everything right! Yes, he was Italian! He truly was the greatest! May he rest in peace. Thank you for sharing. ♥️
I loved your reaction while you listened to Pavarotti. He seemed to have touched deep into your soul. He loved all music and did some pop, but his ‘out of this world voice’ cannot be beaten. So glad he made another fan… he was a lovely man. His father was also a singer, but Pavarotti outshone everyone. Thanks for letting me enjoy again his voice with you and listening again through your ears. Well done👍👍🙏
Luciano Pavarotti was a powerhouse tenor. Although I never understood what he was saying, his voice always gave me goosebumps & tears in my eyes. 🥰
I weep every time I hear Luciano sing this song. I heard him sing live, in West Palm Beach, FL, in the 1970's, and it was fabulous and absolutely unforgettable.
It amazes me that so many people have no idea what the words are but the emotion is universal. Almost everyone who listens to this performance is affected the exact same way; left speechless but with tears. So desperate with yearning and loss yet somehow some hope.
So beautifully expressed.
I believe the reaction is from our souls waking up to the memory of what we have heard in Heaven before we were born in our Earthly bodies.
@@tomheinle1049 There is no evidence for that belief. There is no soul.
@@torontocitizen6802 take a day off
@@torontocitizen6802 yup, but people are weak and they need smth lol
I love that even Pavarotti himself is shocked and amazed at how awesome that was!
My dad used to listen to Luciano Pavatotti when I was a kid. I was not an opera fan, but when our dad took us to see Pavarotti in concert, I was blown away.! I will never forget that experience and it was over 40 years ago. BTW, great reaction.
always love it when people pause it after the first time he revs the engine with that look of wonder, laughing to myself knowing whats coming when he hits full horsepower later on.
The greatest tenor ever to grace the planet in centuries.
The beauty of the male voice - I love the power and the passion of this gifted man. His voice moves your soul when it recognizes beauty and strength in harmony.
So nice to see you watching this and getting emotional! You've got the true feeling for music! Unfortunately not all people can sense this power, beauty, feeling!
He had that effect on everybody when they first heard him. R.I.P. Mr Pavarotti.
