Your comment may best I've ever read, or anyone has ever expressed. Thank you. We forget too often that we are indeed human. We remember at once, after a life of forgetting, that we, so sadly are
Don't judge other music you love by what you just heard, what you just experienced was the world's greatest tenor.he's gone now, thank GOD for recordings.
I live in Pesaro, an italian town on the adriatic sea where Luciano used to pass his summer holidays with his family or when he needed to restore. His house was on a hill just in front the seaside where me and my family used to go to the beach. Often we were able to listen the Maestro training his voice, especially before important tours. Imagine living summer in italy, going to the sea and listen the Maestro live singing from his private house. Sometimes he came down to have a breack and eat some "piadina" in a restaurant near the beach. He was always very kind and with us children (now i m 33) he always made jokes and always smiling. Moments that i will keep forever in my heart. I feel lucky to be italian. Sorry for my english.
@@vrilmaxxed yep. How i said i feel very lucky because i love te Place where i live. There's a video here o youtube where the the Maestro talks about his love for this Place and his people. Search "Pavarotti Pesaro" on yt.
I have a friend from Italy, and we played cover songs together online a few years back. Your description of the area reminded me of seeing where he lives - in Polignano a Mare, the city looks to be built into the cliffside, with the endless water stretching out below. Your English is great, no worries :)
oh Marco, how very blessed and lucky you are.. my dream! i was fortunate enough to visit Italy in 1996 and travel around Europe, and it is true, ITALY TRULY IS HEAVEN ON EARTH. I CANNOT imagine experiencing that and the great Pavarotti.. QUANTO SEI FORTUNATO!!!
I’m 71 and white. I had 2 alcoholic parents and I didn’t have the best of things growing up. The past that you could not control does not define who you are now. Take your platform and grow every day. However, grow the way you want. Learn the things you want to learn. You have broken free of the limitations of your past. Take whatever and all the opportunities that you have now and live the life you always wanted. Never compromise. I love this reaction and your openness with the truth but don’t let it limit you. Never use it as an excuse to not excel in all you do going forward. I look forward to seeing more reactions from you. Thank you.
Pavarotti’s natural voice was extremely unusual, and he was also incredibly musical, but it wouldn’t have amounted to anything but a local career had he not found excellent teachers who would take him on even though he didn’t have much money. He was smart enough to work his @ss off, learning how to internally manage the breath and placement of vowels, which is incredibly difficult, and he always credited Joan Sutherland with, “helping to find the breath.” Pavarotti’s father’s voice was equally gorgeous, but WWII ruined his chances for a career.
@@voraciousreader3341it took him hella work, but a talent like this is difficult to see. His teachers would have been inefficient if they couldnt recognize a talent like this
“I came from the gutter” Sir, your willingness to listen to classical music rose you from the gutter. Your emotional connection to the classical music makes you a king.
I'd say your intentions are pure in your comment, but slightly mistaken. People DO come from horrible, horrible places. With terrible childhoods, filled with terrible guidance. What this shows is that there is always something better worth striving for, and it is there for everyone. No one is defined by where they came from, but who they choose to be. Music impacts us all equally, and the classics have wrongly been cast aside far too long.
I love that when he sings “I will win!” (Vincera!”) at the end, you may not have understood the Italian but you FELT IT! That’s the power of classical music. 💜👏🏻💜
The way he sings this song touches my soul. I am an African woman and I love classical music and opera. Music knows no color. Keep your heart and mind open to new things always.
I realize that this is 2 years later, but I have to share a link with you to one of my very favorite operatic singers, who had a tremendously influential career bc of her gorgeous voice. I’m speaking of Jessye Norman, and am sure you know all about her, but this is one of my favorite performances that I’ve ever heard: th-cam.com/video/9680zhMmIqM/w-d-xo.html&feature=sharec
Ave Maria is one song I cannot listen to anymore because of the memories of my family members that have gone to the other side. It makes me fall apart entirely! 😢
I love this guy's reactions. He's so genuine and vulnerable. Helping out a guy like him (if he needed help) would be a privilege, and would change you for the better. Hope he's doing well.
I saw him sing this in concert. There was complete silence for seconds and then thousands of people surged to their feet just screaming. I will never forget and I'm so happy it touched you.
I`m a 64 year old man raised on rock music yet EVERY time I hear this I melt . Good luck , it doesnt matter where you come from its where you are now that matters .
I watch this performance every couple of days with my mom who is 93yo and has dimensia and she remembers the song immediately! Although, she doesn't recall that we watch it all the time. As soon as it begins, she says "Oh, what a beautiful song this is! Don't change it!" And at the end, we are both speechless.. every time. I'll always remember this song that way, whenever I hear it.
@@Dave1955ist hey my friend I have not listen to lot of opera but I have heard this before what I have heard that I truly love is Sarah Brightman singing with now please forgive me for forgetting his name I remember that he is blind and she sings with him it's magic I love it so much I want to hear it now later take care my friend
Darlin', don't ever feel 'weird' about being overcome with emotion when hearing something like this. I must have listened to 'Nessun dorma' a thousand times in my long life, and it always brings me to tears. A lot of opera and classical music does that to me. There's just something sublime - extra-human - in it, that touches the soul. It's an example of what man can do at his very best - in art, poetry, literature, architecture and music - and have it live long after the artist himself is dust.
You are so right. He is an angel now. He passed away and sings with the angels and his music and voice is a gift from God! I was blessed to be able to be at his very last live concert and there wasn't a dry eye in the house! May he rest in peace until we get to hear him sing to us in heaven!
Nothing, literally nothing in music has ever impacted me so hard as hearing this great man sing this song for the first time. This is musical perfection. This is joy. You can see the passion in his face and in his voice. When he finishes the song, the expression on his face is one of knowing that he has just finished the performance of his lifetime.
When I was a young college student, I worked at Philharmonic Hall in Lincoln Center. I was lucky enough to see Pavarotti sing many times, and believe me, I had the same reaction as you. There was not a dry eye in the house. When he hits that final note, it's almost as if even he can't believe what just came out of him! Congratulations on stepping out of your comfort zone. I was a young Black man, born and raised in Fort Apache, The South Bronx, but I refused to let that determine my path in life. You are an inspiration! It doesn't matter where you came from. What matters is where you're going. Keep growing, young Brother. You have inspired this 70 year old heart today!
lovely comment i also love seeing his reactions I think he has a beautiful soul and I love how open he is to listen to and appreciate all kinds of music.
I’m an American ex-soldier living in Italy for 10 yrs. This song brings tears to my eyes every time. It’s your humanity reacting. Google the words to the song and the song gets better. Trust me.
Oh my gosh. Makes me feel for you, with all the things going on. (I understand Italian, so just not understanding the words and translating it...) Greetings from Scandinavia. Please stay safe wherever you go.
Dear, you did not come from the "gutter". You came from under the angels wings. Don't ever forget! I grew up with such opera music. But because of people who are so immediately touched by that music like you are, I learn to hear it in a fresh way, I appreciate it more than ever, because of your reaction. Thank you!!!.
I remember the very first time I heard this. It was 1969. It was on a now defunct classical radio station in NYC. At about 2AM in the morning, the DJ who played this, Bill Watson, played it over and over again. After about the fourth or fifth time, he cut into the music and said something like, "please stop calling me to say that the same song is playing over and over again. I know it is. I'm playing it because there is someone out there who is just hearing this for the first time, and they MUST hear it." Thank you Bill Watson for the introduction. It's been with me ever since. And thank you JBLethal for being open to this experience. It is mind altering, and you're a better man for having heard this and appreciated it.
Heaven in my ears reminds me ...not my ideas, but a paraphrase: God is perfect beauty, truth and justice. To evangelize, use the best art, speak truth and walk in justice. Your priceless honest reaction is spot on. Keep your heart open, and feed some seriously great things to those ears.
Never EVER ceases to make me cry. The mere fact that someone WROTE this, and it can withstand CENTURIES, is overwhelming. Period. RIP Pavarotti. 1936-2007.
byfolko yup. You think I didn’t know this? Hello! OPERA BUFF HERE. The first opera I saw was “The Magic Flute” (MOZART!). And my favorite operas (so far) are DON GIOVANNI (MOZART again!); MADAMA BUTTERFLY (PUCCINI!) and LA BOHEME (PUCCINI-again!) and my number one favorite is LA BOHEME!
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 "Opera Buff' trying to belittle a the provider of a helpful comment. Well opera buff, this was completed in 1926... so how many CENTURIES has this so far withstood?
Music of all kinds melds human souls! I'm a senior white lady, raised on all kinds of music: classical, folk, soul, Broadway, rock n roll. Join the legions of Pavarotti's "Nessun Dorma" fans and we'll all shed tears together!
I had the privilege of hearing him sing in person. His voice made the seats literally vibrate, and I was in the nosebleed section. His voice went straight through my soul. There are no words good enough to describe it.
I love this. Don’t apologize, I’ve heard this aria 500 times and it makes me cry every time. Anything that brings you into contact with the best that human beings are capable of makes you a better man. Thanks for making this video.
World Cup Italia '90. The BBC chose Pavarotti's rendition of Nessun Dorma as their theme music for the tournament. Literally millions of people who thought opera was a load of boring crap for rich toffs were completely blown away and fell in love with this piece of music in an instant. I was one of them for sure. Without even understanding the language the power of his voice fills you with emotion. Incredible.
Have you watched Pavarotti and George Michael sing together it's AMAZING both singing in their language. George Michael holds his own against this wonderful Tenor 🌻🌻🌻🌻
There is truly only one Luciano Pavarotti. His vocal range and control is outstanding! Listen to this multiple times. The more you listen the more you appreciate him.
@@petermacpherson7146 The inspiration of musical masters comes from the mysteries within...whether one choooses to call it "God", "The Supreme Being", "The Divine" is inconsequential...but yes, there IS a connection to a higher power from which it is inspired. Clearly, the men who have such gifts are in the extreme minority.
It’s much more than just Pavarotti’s voice….it is a highly trained instrument, with a technique which allows for incredibly natural singing, and without that technique, Pavarotti would not have had a career. The best artists make the ridiculously difficult demands of their art sound as easy as falling off a log, and they are also innately very intelligent with very rare musicality.
*This is why music is such an amazing language, all in itself.......* I do not understand one word Pavarotti sang, but I felt every lyric, every note, and every emotion, which says a lot about his amazing artistry, talent & delivery❣❣❣
If coming from the gutter produced you, then please, publish the location because a lot of people need to hang out there. The world needs more folks like you.
Jennifer, I'm with you. Pavarrotti great no contest. But his reaction surely on a par with the singing. Nothing more beautiful than a human heart having experience with the spirit of His creator. Most comment on Pavarotti. This fellow's honest humility also very touching.
Puccini wrote this in a language we don't understand and yet we listen to this, it reaches through time and something deep inside is stirred. So not just the great Pavarotti. The great Puccini.
I was lucky enough to be invited on stage to give him roses after he performed this in my hometown. I was too young to realize the honor that I had been given
So lucky. He, Caruso, and David Habbin are among my favorite tenors. I would have loved that honor. I was in my late teens to early twenties when he died.
Nessun Dorma is a very special song, it’s just so well composed, Puccini masterful composition of this song brings out the feels and then to have Luciano Pavarotti bring it to the next level. Its really transcendental. We need to give a LOT of credit to Puccini for this and what can I say, Pavarotti was the best performer to interpret this song, ever.
Im a pianist and used to play for singers, solo, etc. Long before reaction channels were a thing. It's your reaction, vulnerability and openness to a new musical experience that makes it all worth it for performers. That's the reward. It's not the acclaim of academics. People like yourself are inspiration to us. ❤ And many of us came from our own kinda gutters.. me, a tiny farm outside a tiny town. If my mom hadn't known how to play piano and taught lessons, I wouldn't had the opportunity to participate in classical music. You are every bit the king Pavarotti was for being vulnerable and opening yourself up to the beauty. That's a rare soul, and without people like you, we wouldn't have a reason to perform. YOU inspire the Pavarottis. That's power. Thank you so much for this. It's one more thing that's inspiring me to play piano again. Peace and blessings to you and yours!! ❤
Funny thing that even if you come from the gutter, this music is freely available at any library. So i wonder why hasn't he heard this before??? This ARE other type music besides that garbage called rap. (Which is NOT music) turn on the radio and scan the band for music you are not used to. Its free!
roy Yung Get off your pedestal. You wonder why he hasn’t heard this before? That’s unfathomable to you? This man is broadening his music spectrum and all you come here to comment on is how he should have listened to this music before and that rap music isn’t music? Get off your high horse and try to understand that all people have different life circumstances than you. Put yourself in someone else shoes...listen and learn. Don’t judge because you have no clue what that person has gone through. Or why they haven’t had the opportunity you have. I’m actually baffled at your mindset.
Roy, people from the hood, the gutter, the ghetto Don't have the urge to listen to Classical music because it seems So far away from where they are. It is stereotypical European music. I am just happy JB has found it and that it enriches his soul.
Yours is my favorite reaction to this amazing artist !! You "get it" !! This music speaks to the soul and Pavarotti hits you in the heart and soul every time. Don't ever feel you have to apologize for tearing up when listening to him , we all do. I've been listening to him for well over 30 years and this aria brings me to tears every time I hear and see it. Much respect man , I'm glad you took a chance and listened to this heavenly singer
I've been watching reactions to "Nessun dorma" for a couple of hours. To watch you come under the spell is just inspirational. You showed up in one of the reaction mash-ups and I had to track you down to watch the entire reaction. I think this is as close to heaven as I'm ever going to get. And please, don't apologize for your feelings and emotions. You are an inspiration.
You are loved ... You are a Child of God ... I can’t tell you how much your sincere spirit moved me to tears ... I’m just a KENTUCKY boy ... father of 4 ... teacher & coach ... nobody special... but people like you are a light in a dark world. THANK YOU for your shining bright spirit ... Shine on, my brother ... shine on
being Italian, I grew up exposed to this type of music...and have always appreciated the skill and artistry of Pavarotti, his voice has forever left me in awe...so many singers are great, but not really even close to him. I am so, so pleased to see new listeners who have found Luciano and am especially overwhelmed with the passion, such as yours, JB for this new treasure you've discovered.The world of music is just opening up to you and your peers who have also opened your minds and hearts to all of the various and wonderful genres. For a real treat, Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown's collaboration of 'It'a a Man's World' is one to behold. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
I am a 73 year old 'white' woman and have loved Pavarotti since I found him myself, got a poor persons seat once when he came to Denver and sat behind him in the bleachers but loved it- he waved at us as he left the stage. I just want to say that your appreciation of him and his voice and the 'angelic' sounds are just as beautiful to me as he is. Your sincere heartfelt response is absolutely beautiful. It's time this kind of experience was available to everyone to lift them and not just the wealthy who often do not appreciate as much as you did. Thanks for the whole thing- Ioved it.
As an opera singer, so often I have heard people say to me, “ I dont like opera.” I ask them if they have ever been to,or heard an opera, and they say, “ well, no.” You have felt the power of this medium without knowing anything about it. It transcends everything.....You may have come from what you say is the, “ gutter,” but you ,my friend, have been blessed with ears to hear and a heart to grasp the beauty of this amazing voice.
I went to a university production of La Boheme. It was my first time seeing live opera. I could NOT get out of my seat at the end. I looked across the aisle, and there was an older woman and we just looked at each, dumb-founded. Music, it's so part of the human spirit--now, during Covid, I think so many people have identified what is essential, and it's definitely music.
@Teresa Vicario that's one of my wife's favorite things about doing supertitles for operas, translating them so people get not just the story, but the jokes
Exactly! I remember when I first started to learn opera (1 year ago exactly) and honestly I wasn't very found of it but it's bc I never heard it, then once I actually sang one of the vaccaj exercises, I just felt the emotions and love over my body and I felt so happy and proud of doing so, I couldn't stop smiling, and this happens rn too, opera has such an amazing power and honestly people who say that it is boring don't even know what they r talking about, they r missing heaven :')
As Oscar Wilde said "We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars". And you Are a 🌟 Thank you for that wonderful reaction. Love from England xx
I've never met an adult who never grew up with this kind of music that doesn't react with chills & tears. Luciano's voice is the closest thing to angelic voices and one can get on earth.
It doesn’t matter where your from, rich or poor, this music has just touched your soul. Its a privilege to be witness to that. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability, I’m sure you have encouraged others to explore this music too. God bless you ❤️
Opera, classical music is meant to be felt, deep in the soul. If you ever have a chance to go to a symphony, do it. And sit close to the orchestra. You will feel the vibrations of the instruments through your entire body.
Translation: No one sleeps, no one sleeps. You too, O Princess! In your cold room are watching the stars that tremble with love and hope... But my secret lies within me, No one shall know my name. Oh no, I shall reveal it only on your lips, When daylight shines radiantly. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine. Depart O night! Fade away stars! Fade away stars! At dawn I shall win! I shall win, I shall win! ☺️
Nati Natiouchka , Non esattamente "No one sleeps" che significa "nessuno dorme"... Invece è "nessun dorma".... ("that nobody sleeps" ?) Non so se mi sono spiegato: è un invito a... NON dormire! Non una constatazione che.. nessuno sta dormendo.
Silvestro Comencini grazie per avere corretto il mio errore. 🙂Anzi , il verbo dormire viene coniugato nel modo congiuntivo quindi trasmette l’idea di una richiesta, quasi un ordine. Proviamo con: don’t you sleep, pure: no one shall sleep. Meglio? ☺️
Can you imagine being in that audience? Feeling the vibration of the orchestra and his voice vibrating through your body? I'd have probably pee'd my pants. If your soul doesn't zing a little upon hearing this, you might be dead. And I'm not all that fond of opera, just a few select pieces of which this is one. Good reaction, JB, Thanks! Namaste.
Young man, grandma was so touched by your genuine response. I honestly believe that there are some across all music genres are given a special gift. You know when they have "it" when it is presented to us with very little effort. Blessings to you and your family. ----Sister Lynn
I am an older black lady retired from academe. There are more than forty recordings of "Nessun Dorma" on a computer in our home. Both Beniamino Gigli and Mario Lanza were operatic favorites of Luciano Pavarotti whose later rendition reigned supreme. My own bias is for Jussi Bjorling, also a role model for Pavarotti. "Nessun Dorma" is an allegory of my life. 1926 is also the year a tragic 10th Cavalry ancestor died soon after "Turanot '' was first performed. The aria title translates to "No one sleeps," To completely embrace this opera is to learn about its plot and story line, as well as its makers, Carlo Gozzi, Giacomo Puccini, and Franco Alfano.. Cheers!
I just wanted to say a couple things: I'm italian and I've been exposed to classical music since I was a little boy and I don't remember the first time I heard about Pavarotti it's something underlaying the coulture, so we are quite different (at least for how we grew up) but everytime I listen to this piece I feel exactly like you felt and my eyes get wet; and I think this is the most beautiful thing: music and art are universal and common to all human being and classical music in particular is able to bring the same intese emotions to everybody
My dude..... you didn't come from the gutter. Music is music, when it hits you---you feel no pain. Be proud of where you came from. Nothing but love brother.
When I pass (and I'm 75 so...)and if there is a memorial service for me, I want Pavarotti's Nessum Dorma played for those attending. If they do not feel moved by this they didn't understand me. I've listened to Pavarotti for nearly 50 years, since I saw him in the first live opera ever broadcast from the Metropolitan in La Boheme. I am not a huge opera fan, but I fell. in love with his voice immediately and followed him for the rest of his life.
The man's voice was a force of nature. A true gift of God. Thank goodness there is video of him and many others that can still be discovered and enjoyed. Pavarotti will be waiting at the Golden Gates singing.....
I am on the other side of the world right now. I grew up with this music, you didn't. Well, your video bro is a gift to me like Big Luciano's performance was to you. Thank you and all the best from Italy.
This is probably one of the most beautiful piece of music ever written. It reaches into you and pulls on your soul and heart every time you hear it. It doesn’t matter that you don’t understand what he is saying because the music is so beautiful.
You will never ever forget this moment....There are many pieces of music like this....BUT this is masterful in every sense of the word. Listened to this hundreds of times and STILL cry !!
Thanks! Love your reaction to this phenomenal singer. There will never be another like him. His transition from note to note, octave to octave, is as smooth as silk.
No need to apologize. I am a 75 year old white guy and I've listened to classical music all my life. I still get chills and tears in my eyes when I hear this song sung by a great tenor. This is where music can take us.
I never subscribe to reaction channels. For you, I have made an exception. Your sensitivity and empathy and decency is truly admirable. Never change.
Same here. I heard and watched this music many times, but watching this transformation I just ... cried with him.
That the beauty of music,
Now listen to Aretha Franklin singing that same song, that also blow yr mind
Enrico Caruso aka 'the great caruso' died in 1921 and still considered better than Pavarott... You can find recording of him singing on TH-cam...
I don’t know which made the tears run down my face more.......Pavarotti or the heartfelt response from this beautiful man!! Just beautiful! ❤️
Same here.
You ain't from the gutter, partner. You're human with a soul.
You are a great human being. And so caring he is.
Your comment may best I've ever read, or anyone has ever expressed. Thank you. We forget too often that we are indeed human. We remember at once, after a life of forgetting, that we, so sadly are
Beautiful comment my friend!🙏🏻❤️
Thank you 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Don't judge other music you love by what you just heard, what you just experienced was the world's greatest tenor.he's gone now, thank GOD for recordings.

This is what Nessun Dorma does to you. No matter where you come from, Pavarotti and Nessun Dorma goes straight into what makes us human.
“I came from the gutter”
Sir, your willingness to listen to classical music rose you from the gutter. Your emotional connection to the classical music makes you a king.
You are not from the gutter,God createdus all in his image and he did not come from a gutter.
Now that's just a nice thing to say.
This is pure beauty, so inspiring!
Beautiful.
we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars, said someone else
Dude. You didn’t come from the gutter. You’re remarkable.
Truth. Most real reactor on the internet.
Amen. You're 100% right.
beautifully put
I'd say your intentions are pure in your comment, but slightly mistaken.
People DO come from horrible, horrible places. With terrible childhoods, filled with terrible guidance. What this shows is that there is always something better worth striving for, and it is there for everyone. No one is defined by where they came from, but who they choose to be. Music impacts us all equally, and the classics have wrongly been cast aside far too long.
Amen brother Ken! WE ALL ARE WORTHY!!
This song and your reaction brought me to tears. He died shortly after singing this song.
No human being can avoid sharing a tear when this man sings this... Welcome to the feelings, dear!!!
"VINCERO!" he sings 3 times . Its
the last words he sings. means in Italian "I WILL WIN"!!! You've already won just by opening your heart to this!
The beauty of music , it reaches our soul , rich and poor alike .
Thanks for the interpretation...... it’s perfect VINCERO!
Always have to fight my tears when I hear Luciano sing this....it's like a religious experience...
I stopped fighting years ago.. When Callas is in full throat, it almost insists that you sit down , or kneel....
Same
100%
Me too
I'm ready cry now I'm a young brother lol
I love that when he sings “I will win!” (Vincera!”) at the end, you may not have understood the Italian but you FELT IT! That’s the power of classical music. 💜👏🏻💜
True, you don’t have to understand the word, the music tells you the story in your entire body.
I owuld say it's a little stronger than we will win, Its more we willl conquer.
@@fedodosto3162 "Vincero" = "I will triumph." There's no 'we', it's just Calaf.
The way he sings this song touches my soul. I am an African woman and I love classical music and opera. Music knows no color. Keep your heart and mind open to new things always.
I realize that this is 2 years later, but I have to share a link with you to one of my very favorite operatic singers, who had a tremendously influential career bc of her gorgeous voice.

No shame in crying, brother. When something moves you, it moves you. The song Ave Maria makes me cry everytime.
It makes me cry every time
Me, too. "Ave Maria" ALWAYS moves me to tears BUT one version only of two available.
Ave Maria is one song I cannot listen to anymore because of the memories of my family members that have gone to the other side. It makes me fall apart entirely! 😢
What about this too : th-cam.com/video/AaEGwph2Qr4/w-d-xo.html
A Mozart master-piece with Barbara Hendricks.
Me too.
The last words of the song are "I will win." A real man will allow real music to move him, you sir are truly a man.
"At dawn, I shall win"
I couldn’t agree more! Thank you for showing your strength through your vulnerability.. You are angelic in your own way.
@@morrishills5210 esatto!!
It's ok to weep brother, I'm 70 now and I been tearing up over this since I first heard it in my 20s.
Don't fight the tears. It's a sign that you have truly bonded with this. That's fantastic.
I’m 53 years old my friend, and I get tears in my eyes every time I listen to this. I truly appreciated your honest reaction. Take care.
That's the most beautiful reaction I ever saw. You have a beautiful soul.
He’s an old soul for sure! So sweet to see, isn’t it? 💕
@@lilyrose7082 wierd. Theres another one of him reacting to this same video, for the first time.
Same I thought, keep it up! We got a new classical enthusiast
Interrupting songs doesn't give you full experience of it...
He taught the Angels
I love this guy's reactions. He's so genuine and vulnerable. Helping out a guy like him (if he needed help) would be a privilege, and would change you for the better. Hope he's doing well.
@miketackabery....I hope someday JBLETHAL gets to attend an opera!
It’s okay to cry when you see or hear true beauty.
Truest and best advice ever.
No matter how many times I’ve heard it as soon as Pavarotti starts to sing my eyes tear up.
As do mine
And mine.
Me three!
I saw him sing this in concert. There was complete silence for seconds and then thousands of people surged to their feet just screaming. I will never forget and I'm so happy it touched you.
lucky you!
You are blessed.
How many of you were in tears?
@@4orrcountry I know my late mother and I were!
Oh, I SO envy you!!! I have so many of his and 3 tenors CDs/albums (yeah, I'm old!!!), but to have heard him in person is such a gift!!!😂😂❤
I`m a 64 year old man raised on rock music yet EVERY time I hear this I melt . Good luck , it doesnt matter where you come from its where you are now that matters .
I watch this performance every couple of days with my mom who is 93yo and has dimensia and she remembers the song immediately! Although, she doesn't recall that we watch it all the time. As soon as it begins, she says "Oh, what a beautiful song this is! Don't change it!" And at the end, we are both speechless.. every time. I'll always remember this song that way, whenever I hear it.
I've heard this a hundred times and it still makes me cry. Your reaction is genuine and sincere.
I encourage you to hear something from "The Three Tenors" they will rock you mind/soul.
@@Dave1955ist hey my friend I have not listen to lot of opera but I have heard this before what I have heard that I truly love is Sarah Brightman singing with now please forgive me for forgetting his name I remember that he is blind and she sings with him it's magic I love it so much I want to hear it now later take care my friend
Cory Burns, you are thinking of Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli singing "Time to say goodbye "
Me too
Yep, I cry every time and I'm a metal/rock person. Doesn't matter, tears every time.
Darlin', don't ever feel 'weird' about being overcome with emotion when hearing something like this. I must have listened to 'Nessun dorma' a thousand times in my long life, and it always brings me to tears. A lot of opera and classical music does that to me. There's just something sublime - extra-human - in it, that touches the soul. It's an example of what man can do at his very best - in art, poetry, literature, architecture and music - and have it live long after the artist himself is dust.
Curious World ❤️
Amen amen AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN
@@laurievoss285 amen!
You are so right. He is an angel now. He passed away and sings with the angels and his music and voice is a gift from God! I was blessed to be able to be at his very last live concert and there wasn't a dry eye in the house! May he rest in peace until we get to hear him sing to us in heaven!
Gosh, I would give ANYTHING to have heard him in person !!! 😢😢
Nothing, literally nothing in music has ever impacted me so hard as hearing this great man sing this song for the first time. This is musical perfection. This is joy. You can see the passion in his face and in his voice. When he finishes the song, the expression on his face is one of knowing that he has just finished the performance of his lifetime.
No matter how many times I've heard pavarotti his voice and singing gives me chills every single time
Ditto
Me too.
"angels singin in my ear" -- how lovely. You are not from the gutter!
I want to hold you tight and listen to this together
" I'm going to make sure I'm going to Heaven ".
Pavarotti has done his job on earth.
💕🙏
KatinIN, amen!
When I was a young college student, I worked at Philharmonic Hall in Lincoln Center. I was lucky enough to see Pavarotti sing many times, and believe me, I had the same reaction as you. There was not a dry eye in the house.
When he hits that final note, it's almost as if even he can't believe what just came out of him! Congratulations on stepping out of your comfort zone. I was a young Black man, born and raised in Fort Apache, The South Bronx, but I refused to let that determine my path in life. You are an inspiration! It doesn't matter where you came from. What matters is where you're going. Keep growing, young Brother. You have inspired this 70 year old heart today!
lovely comment i also love seeing his reactions I think he has a beautiful soul and I love how open he is to listen to and appreciate all kinds of music.
@@christinephipps8236 He gives me hope for the future!
This is what it means to be Human, touches your soul.
I’m an American ex-soldier living in Italy for 10 yrs. This song brings tears to my eyes every time. It’s your humanity reacting. Google the words to the song and the song gets better. Trust me.
Oh my gosh. Makes me feel for you, with all the things going on. (I understand Italian, so just not understanding the words and translating it...) Greetings from Scandinavia. Please stay safe wherever you go.
Richard Wilczek 👍 I lived in Italy too and I love it. We were stationed in Aviano.
I totally understand! Living in Italy for 15 yrs.
Why do we need to know you're an ex usa 🇺🇸 killing machine?
Dear, you did not come from the "gutter". You came from under the angels wings. Don't ever forget! I grew up with such opera music. But because of people who are so immediately touched by that music like you are, I learn to hear it in a fresh way, I appreciate it more than ever, because of your reaction. Thank you!!!.
Exactly.
I remember the very first time I heard this. It was 1969. It was on a now defunct classical radio station in NYC. At about 2AM in the morning, the DJ who played this, Bill Watson, played it over and over again. After about the fourth or fifth time, he cut into the music and said something like, "please stop calling me to say that the same song is playing over and over again. I know it is. I'm playing it because there is someone out there who is just hearing this for the first time, and they MUST hear it."
Thank you Bill Watson for the introduction. It's been with me ever since. And thank you JBLethal for being open to this experience. It is mind altering, and you're a better man for having heard this and appreciated it.
"Heaven in my ears" - I can't think of a better way to describe it!
Perfect
Right
Heaven in my ears reminds me ...not my ideas, but a paraphrase: God is perfect beauty, truth and justice. To evangelize, use the best art, speak truth and walk in justice. Your priceless honest reaction is spot on. Keep your heart open, and feed some seriously great things to those ears.
Never EVER ceases to make me cry. The mere fact that someone WROTE this, and it can withstand CENTURIES, is overwhelming. Period. RIP Pavarotti. 1936-2007.
byfolko yup. You think I didn’t know this? Hello! OPERA BUFF HERE. The first opera I saw was “The Magic Flute” (MOZART!). And my favorite operas (so far) are DON GIOVANNI (MOZART again!); MADAMA BUTTERFLY (PUCCINI!) and LA BOHEME (PUCCINI-again!) and my number one favorite is LA BOHEME!
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 "Opera Buff' trying to belittle a the provider of a helpful comment. Well opera buff, this was completed in 1926... so how many CENTURIES has this so far withstood?
Music of all kinds melds human souls! I'm a senior white lady, raised on all kinds of music: classical, folk, soul, Broadway, rock n roll. Join the legions of Pavarotti's "Nessun Dorma" fans and we'll all shed tears together!
I had the privilege of hearing him sing in person. His voice made the seats literally vibrate, and I was in the nosebleed section. His voice went straight through my soul. There are no words good enough to describe it.
Luciano is the GOLD STANDARD of operatic tenors. Truth, he is like angels singing in my ears too.
Try the great Swedish tenor Jussi Bjoerling. Even Pavarotti said he was the best lyric tenor in his opinion.
His rendition of Nessun Dorma will blow you away guaranteed!
Human beings are truly remarkable creatures.
I'll give this dude a listen man thanks
Gotta say...when you paused the video...I was thinking, ''Just wait....just wait....be prepared to be blown away, young man....''
Yep. Same here. I was welling up, just anticipating his pure, inexplicable joy. Wasn't disappointed.
I love this. Don’t apologize, I’ve heard this aria 500 times and it makes me cry every time. Anything that brings you into contact with the best that human beings are capable of makes you a better man. Thanks for making this video.
World Cup Italia '90. The BBC chose Pavarotti's rendition of Nessun Dorma as their theme music for the tournament. Literally millions of people who thought opera was a load of boring crap for rich toffs were completely blown away and fell in love with this piece of music in an instant. I was one of them for sure. Without even understanding the language the power of his voice fills you with emotion. Incredible.
The power, range, and control in his voice is unbelievable.
and the emotion is way above all of those technicalities.
Love Love Love 💕💞💕💞
Also the effortlessness
Have you watched Pavarotti and George Michael sing together it's AMAZING both singing in their language. George Michael holds his own against this wonderful Tenor 🌻🌻🌻🌻
There is truly only one Luciano Pavarotti. His vocal range and control is outstanding! Listen to this multiple times. The more you listen the more you appreciate him.
It's ok to weep. It's not unmanly. There is nothing like when music stirs the soul. Praise God for his gift of music!
God didn't do this, man did it
True story: to this day, my mum is unable to listen to this without weeping. And I don't blame her.
@@petermacpherson7146 The inspiration of musical masters comes from the mysteries within...whether one choooses to call it "God", "The Supreme Being", "The Divine" is inconsequential...but yes, there IS a connection to a higher power from which it is inspired. Clearly, the men who have such gifts are in the extreme minority.
Heather, just for you mentioning God, I wish I could love your comment, not just like it. God bless you.
Peter.....have to disagree with your comment.
You don't have to be an opera fan to love this! His voice is incomparable.
It’s much more than just Pavarotti’s voice….it is a highly trained instrument, with a technique which allows for incredibly natural singing, and without that technique, Pavarotti would not have had a career. The best artists make the ridiculously difficult demands of their art sound as easy as falling off a log, and they are also innately very intelligent with very rare musicality.
*This is why music is such an amazing language, all in itself.......* I do not understand one word Pavarotti sang, but I felt every lyric, every note, and every emotion, which says a lot about his amazing artistry, talent & delivery❣❣❣
"That was like heaven in my ears" - thank you for being so decent, sensitive and honest. May you live forever.
If coming from the gutter produced you, then please, publish the location because a lot of people need to hang out there. The world needs more folks like you.
What a lovely comment, Jennifer. James is a national treasure, isn't he?!
Yes, he is a gift to see.
Jennifer, I'm with you. Pavarrotti great no contest. But his reaction surely on a par with the singing. Nothing more beautiful than a human heart having experience with the spirit of His creator. Most comment on Pavarotti. This fellow's honest humility also very touching.
Such a wonderful and touching comment ❣ This man is so wonderful ❤
Priceless....😊😊
Puccini wrote this in a language we don't understand and yet we listen to this, it reaches through time and something deep inside is stirred. So not just the great Pavarotti. The great Puccini.
Puccini may be my favorite.
He touches your soul brother, this man is a legend. Than you for reaction.
I was lucky enough to be invited on stage to give him roses after he performed this in my hometown. I was too young to realize the honor that I had been given
Mila Watkins just let it flow over you
You are so lucky.
I am sure that you were chosen for a reason.
So lucky. He, Caruso, and David Habbin are among my favorite tenors. I would have loved that honor. I was in my late teens to early twenties when he died.
When Pavarotti starts to sing, the most beautiful little smile comes to his face......from there I knew it would only get better. Wait for it.....
Nessun Dorma is a very special song, it’s just so well composed, Puccini masterful composition of this song brings out the feels and then to have Luciano Pavarotti bring it to the next level. Its really transcendental. We need to give a LOT of credit to Puccini for this and what can I say, Pavarotti was the best performer to interpret this song, ever.
Im a pianist and used to play for singers, solo, etc. Long before reaction channels were a thing. It's your reaction, vulnerability and openness to a new musical experience that makes it all worth it for performers. That's the reward. It's not the acclaim of academics. People like yourself are inspiration to us. ❤ And many of us came from our own kinda gutters.. me, a tiny farm outside a tiny town. If my mom hadn't known how to play piano and taught lessons, I wouldn't had the opportunity to participate in classical music. You are every bit the king Pavarotti was for being vulnerable and opening yourself up to the beauty. That's a rare soul, and without people like you, we wouldn't have a reason to perform. YOU inspire the Pavarottis. That's power. Thank you so much for this. It's one more thing that's inspiring me to play piano again. Peace and blessings to you and yours!! ❤
"I came from the gutter, I'm not used to hearing stuff like this, man"
I felt that
Funny thing that even if you come from the gutter, this music is freely available at any library. So i wonder why hasn't he heard this before??? This ARE other type music besides that garbage called rap. (Which is NOT music) turn on the radio and scan the band for music you are not used to. Its free!
roy Yung Get off your pedestal. You wonder why he hasn’t heard this before? That’s unfathomable to you? This man is broadening his music spectrum and all you come here to comment on is how he should have listened to this music before and that rap music isn’t music? Get off your high horse and try to understand that all people have different life circumstances than you. Put yourself in someone else shoes...listen and learn. Don’t judge because you have no clue what that person has gone through. Or why they haven’t had the opportunity you have. I’m actually baffled at your mindset.
Roy, people from the hood, the gutter, the ghetto Don't have the urge to listen to Classical music because it seems So far away from where they are. It is stereotypical European music.
I am just happy JB has found it and that it enriches his soul.
That's a powerful statement you innocently made...
@@rty1955 Come on dude.. fr??? There's tons of ppl still discovering music thanks to TH-cam, other means
If you feel it, let the tears flow. Never apologize for crying over wonderful music. That's the point!
wild gilbert by lovindeer is another great song, great Jamaican Tenor, actually. Full of emotion
Yours is my favorite reaction to this amazing artist !! You "get it" !! This music speaks to the soul and Pavarotti hits you in the heart and soul every time. Don't ever feel you have to apologize for tearing up when listening to him , we all do. I've been listening to him for well over 30 years and this aria brings me to tears every time I hear and see it. Much respect man , I'm glad you took a chance and listened to this heavenly singer
I've been watching reactions to "Nessun dorma" for a couple of hours. To watch you come under the spell is just inspirational. You showed up in one of the reaction mash-ups and I had to track you down to watch the entire reaction. I think this is as close to heaven as I'm ever going to get. And please, don't apologize for your feelings and emotions. You are an inspiration.
You are loved ... You are a Child of God ... I can’t tell you how much your sincere spirit moved me to tears ... I’m just a KENTUCKY boy ... father of 4 ... teacher & coach ... nobody special... but people like you are a light in a dark world. THANK YOU for your shining bright spirit ... Shine on, my brother ... shine on
It’s truly heartwarming to see young people investigating classical music and appreciating it. So much of our modern music is inspired by it.
Mate, you are one of the most authentic voices I've come across on TH-cam. Love it :-)
being Italian, I grew up exposed to this type of music...and have always appreciated the skill and artistry of Pavarotti, his voice has forever left me in awe...so many singers are great, but not really even close to him. I am so, so pleased to see new listeners who have found Luciano and am especially overwhelmed with the passion, such as yours, JB for this new treasure you've discovered.The world of music is just opening up to you and your peers who have also opened your minds and hearts to all of the various and wonderful genres. For a real treat, Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown's collaboration of 'It'a a Man's World' is one to behold. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
I am a 73 year old 'white' woman and have loved Pavarotti since I found him myself, got a poor persons seat once when he came to Denver and sat behind him in the bleachers but loved it- he waved at us as he left the stage. I just want to say that your appreciation of him and his voice and the 'angelic' sounds are just as beautiful to me as he is. Your sincere heartfelt response is absolutely beautiful. It's time this kind of experience was available to everyone to lift them and not just the wealthy who often do not appreciate as much as you did. Thanks for the whole thing- Ioved it.
Opera speaks to everyone no matter the color on the skin. It is pure love for the soul.
Keep the color of your skin to yourself.....
As an opera singer, so often I have heard people say to me, “ I dont like opera.” I ask them if they have ever been to,or heard an opera, and they say, “ well, no.” You have felt the power of this medium without knowing anything about it. It transcends everything.....You may have come from what you say is the, “ gutter,” but you ,my friend, have been blessed with ears to hear and a heart to grasp the beauty of this amazing voice.
I went to a university production of La Boheme. It was my first time seeing live opera. I could NOT get out of my seat at the end. I looked across the aisle, and there was an older woman and we just looked at each, dumb-founded. Music, it's so part of the human spirit--now, during Covid, I think so many people have identified what is essential, and it's definitely music.
I still dont know why the dude acted out of breath.
@Teresa Vicario that's one of my wife's favorite things about doing supertitles for operas, translating them so people get not just the story, but the jokes
Exactly! I remember when I first started to learn opera (1 year ago exactly) and honestly I wasn't very found of it but it's bc I never heard it, then once I actually sang one of the vaccaj exercises, I just felt the emotions and love over my body and I felt so happy and proud of doing so, I couldn't stop smiling, and this happens rn too, opera has such an amazing power and honestly people who say that it is boring don't even know what they r talking about, they r missing heaven :')
As Oscar Wilde said "We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars". And you Are a 🌟 Thank you for that wonderful reaction. Love from England xx
His voice is stunning. That’s what perfection sounds like. Keep going man, you sound like your worth saving 👍🤠
“This is like angel singing in my ears”
I felt exactly the same and shed tears even tho I don’t understand the language.....
Just watching the look on your face makes my heart smile. You are so precious
amazing--I was just sitting here watching his face thinking the same thing---this man is precious
Same!! It's such a joy to watch his face when he hears soul-stirring music. Love this dude. 🥰💜💚💛
Amen
I've never met an adult who never grew up with this kind of music that doesn't react with chills & tears. Luciano's voice is the closest thing to angelic voices and one can get on earth.
It doesn’t matter where your from, rich or poor, this music has just touched your soul. Its a privilege to be witness to that. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability, I’m sure you have encouraged others to explore this music too. God bless you ❤️
Opera, classical music is meant to be felt, deep in the soul.
If you ever have a chance to go to a symphony, do it. And sit close to the orchestra.
You will feel the vibrations of the instruments through your entire body.
Amen....very good advice. I've suggested it before, hope he takes it.
Yes!
Yeah! I wish young people understand that listening to orchestra is real ASMR
yes, if you understand the words, it becomes a bit lame.
because the stories are usually simplistic.
The guts it takes to step out of your comfort zone, as he says, and let yourself try something new! "Let's continue to grow."
The stunned look on your face made me smile with appreciation. You have just heard one of the finest tenors in the history of Opera.
Mad respect to you for opening your heart and mind to such music. I tear up every time I hear it.
Translation:
No one sleeps, no one sleeps.
You too, O Princess!
In your cold room are watching the stars that tremble with love and hope...
But my secret lies within me,
No one shall know my name.
Oh no, I shall reveal it only on your lips,
When daylight shines radiantly.
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine.
Depart O night!
Fade away stars!
Fade away stars!

, Non esattamente "No one sleeps" che significa "nessuno dorme"...
Invece è "nessun dorma".... ("that nobody sleeps" ?)
Non so se mi sono spiegato: è un invito a... NON dormire!
Non una constatazione che.. nessuno sta dormendo.
Silvestro Comencini grazie per avere corretto il mio errore. 🙂Anzi , il verbo dormire viene coniugato nel modo congiuntivo quindi trasmette l’idea di una richiesta, quasi un ordine. Proviamo con: don’t you sleep, pure: no one shall sleep. Meglio? ☺️
Can you imagine being in that audience? Feeling the vibration of the orchestra and his voice vibrating through your body? I'd have probably pee'd my pants. If your soul doesn't zing a little upon hearing this, you might be dead. And I'm not all that fond of opera, just a few select pieces of which this is one. Good reaction, JB, Thanks! Namaste.
Imagine coming back from that gig! I reckon it would be utter silence from everyone in the car after hearing this!

I am an older black lady retired from academe. There are more than forty recordings of "Nessun Dorma" on a computer in our home. Both Beniamino Gigli and Mario Lanza were operatic favorites of Luciano Pavarotti whose later rendition reigned supreme. My own bias is for Jussi Bjorling, also a role model for Pavarotti. "Nessun Dorma" is an allegory of my life. 1926 is also the year a tragic 10th Cavalry ancestor died soon after "Turanot '' was first performed. The aria title translates to "No one sleeps," To completely embrace this opera is to learn about its plot and story line, as well as its makers, Carlo Gozzi, Giacomo Puccini, and Franco Alfano.. Cheers!
I just wanted to say a couple things: I'm italian and I've been exposed to classical music since I was a little boy and I don't remember the first time I heard about Pavarotti it's something underlaying the coulture, so we are quite different (at least for how we grew up) but everytime I listen to this piece I feel exactly like you felt and my eyes get wet; and I think this is the most beautiful thing: music and art are universal and common to all human being and classical music in particular is able to bring the same intese emotions to everybody
🎯🎯🎯
My dude..... you didn't come from the gutter. Music is music, when it hits you---you feel no pain. Be proud of where you came from. Nothing but love brother.
When I pass (and I'm 75 so...)and if there is a memorial service for me, I want Pavarotti's Nessum Dorma played for those attending. If they do not feel moved by this they didn't understand me. I've listened to Pavarotti for nearly 50 years, since I saw him in the first live opera ever broadcast from the Metropolitan in La Boheme. I am not a huge opera fan, but I fell. in love with his voice immediately and followed him for the rest of his life.
Have seen your reaction 10+ and continue to feel your joy and HONEST reaction you too are an Angel
The man's voice was a force of nature. A true gift of God. Thank goodness there is video of him and many others that can still be discovered and enjoyed. Pavarotti will be waiting at the Golden Gates singing.....
It's crazy how powerful this piece is for people like us who don't even speak the language.
I'm Spanish, and it's so fortunate that Spanish and Italian are so similar that we can understand each other... And enjoy this work of art.
I am on the other side of the world right now.
I grew up with this music, you didn't.
Well, your video bro is a gift to me like Big Luciano's performance was to you.
Thank you and all the best from Italy.
It’s the music not the language. These combination of sounds are very emotional to humans, and also some some animals like dogs.
He is the best at singing this song.

Isn’t it amazing, it feels like it lifts you up. Proud of you for opening yourself up to new music.
This is probably one of the most beautiful piece of music ever written. It reaches into you and pulls on your soul and heart every time you hear it. It doesn’t matter that you don’t understand what he is saying because the music is so beautiful.
A great singer met Puccini!!! And this is heaven!!
You will never ever forget this moment....There are many pieces of music like this....BUT this is masterful in every sense of the word. Listened to this hundreds of times and STILL cry !!

The greatest tenor of all time singing the greatest aria: perfection.
Thanks! Love your reaction to this phenomenal singer. There will never be another like him. His transition from note to note, octave to octave, is as smooth as silk.
*_"My Spirit is Smiling Right Now..."_* What a wonderful sentence.
Luciano Pavarotti is one of the greatest Opera tenors of all time. Seriously, check out some of his other arias too :)
No need to apologize. I am a 75 year old white guy and I've listened to classical music all my life. I still get chills and tears in my eyes when I hear this song sung by a great tenor. This is where music can take us.
It's normal to cry hearing this man don't worry
