The problem with Pavarotti is that if he, as is usually the case, the first Opera singer you ever hear, then you don't appreciate other Opera singers as much because nobody else comes close.
That’s not a problem with Pavoratti. That’s a problem with us, the people, who don’t bother to learn more. Your comment is like saying, “the problem with Led Zeppelin is that once you hear them, you don’t know any other classic rock group.”
@@icevariable9600I think you missed his point. He didn’t mean it was a problem with Pavorotti himself; but the problem a first-time opera listener confronts, and the problem they will inevitably confront with the next (even great, but not as great as Pavorotti), operatic singer. It’s really just another way of expressing how great Pavorotti was.
I like Jussi Björling. But he's long dead. Pavarotti went away more recently. Ohh yeah and Bass Baritone Bryn Terfel is pretty good. Bass and baritone voices feel like more of an acquired taste. They're not as flashy as a tenor.
Franco Corelli is my favorite tenor. Nobody else (even Pav) comes close to his impassioned interpretation of Nessun Dorma. I love both, and they are very different tenor voices. Pavarotti praised Corelli, and said he had vocal cords of steel, but Corelli captured and melted many hearts too with his magnificent voice and movie star looks!
As Italian I can easily say that Nessun Dorma is the piece that can stops our nation especially if sung by Pavarotti. I know all the words and I cry every single time
I am an English speaker. But Nesum Dorma is so far beyond any language, that my heart leaps abd soars with it, and each time I hear it, it just gets better. I love also Madam Butterfly , but only once a year because it breaks my heart,and somehow also heals it. Pucini was the world's greatest composer.
I love what that one gentleman said, "He gave all that he had left." I mean, just *wow.* That's the perfect description of Pavarotti's singing, isn't it?
@jadefire2817 I went to the movie theatres to see the 2016 metropolitan opera production of turandot and he only held that last note for about 5 seconds. The lady that played turandot was fantastic though
Extraordinary man and voice. He's...he was my fellow countryman ❤ Although I'm not an opera fan (but love Metal singers with operistic background), these kind of vocal performances are something coming from Heaven.
And tingles and my breathing changes. Very emotional, you can really feel his soul, or then it's my own getting all excited about such divine expression.
Many years ago, I waited in the sleet and freezing rain to buy tickets to see Pavarotti sing. I managed to get a front row seat, & I cried through the entire concert. Such a magnificent voice and a treasured memory.
Opera is not a type of music I gravitate to. BUT, when Pavarotti sings Nessun Dorma, I tear up. It's not just the power and beauty of the man's voice, but the way he could convey such emotional depths
My mom and grandma had opera playing since I was practically born but I always gravitated to Pavarotti. My mom likes to tell me about a birthday party for my 2-3 year and everyone was in the dining room having a good time. I took off running suddenly to the living room and pressed my ear to the screen. My mom came out and saw he was on tv. Even now I can have a show on and be somewhere in the house and I can pick up his voice from anywhere around. I cried so badly when he died and was so depressed my mom legitimately let me stay home. I was a wreck lol
You should try it. Find classical performances, not the postmodern re-interpretation crap. Opera in all its opulence is breathtaking, the storytelling touches basic human issues everyone can relate to and the singing is pure magic and heart-break. Add the fact that all these humans come together to create this live performance in all its beauty and perfection is something to behold. I’d go every month to enjoy an opera if there were enough classical productions to enjoy.
Opera is great, and I would certainly recommend more. The Barber of Seville is a personal favorite of mine. There's room for all music in this world. I listen to Billie Eillish, Michael Jackson, Nat King Cole and Muddy Waters. But there's always room for Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms and Sibellius.
These reactions are so wholesome, honest and utterly beautiful that shows we all feel the same emotions and that music really can cover cultures, language, division. It really is the language of the world. Love these guys
I think hearing Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma was probably the first time music ever truly moved me. I was only a little kid and my parents were fans of his. His voice was unlike anything I'd ever heard before, or since. Hello from Scotland! ❤
@sueKay I taught at a public urban university for many years. The day Pavarotti died, I was extremely saddened. My students were from the "inner city" and didn't know anything about opera; their music seemed like violence, noise, and nonsense to me. We had internet with an overhead screen, and, before the class officially began, I played this for them. I didn't know what their reaction would be; they all were emotionally affected by it, were amazed by his voice, and said they didn't know anyone could sing that way. I told them he had died that day, and I was really surprised that they were emotionally moved by both his voice and death.
@glittermama So happy you shared him with your class...kid's can only know what they've been shown, or discovered on their own. I'm sure many of your students will not forget that day...
Oh, how wonderful! I remember the first time I heard Nessun Dorma. It was so beautiful I had tears in my eyes. I'm happy our dear friends get to listen to it too. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of music in the world, sung by a true master and legend.
We played ti's at my mother's memorial service, per her request. I cry every time I hear it, not just at his beautiful voice, but at the memory my mother had about his voice.
@@emilyflotilla931When I first heard this, I was driving and had to pull off the road because my eyes were so full of tears at its beauty. I shared this with my mom who frowned and laughed, scoffing me for being so moved by just a song. I’m glad your memory is sweeter. 😢
@leanne3649 Oh, that must have been a difficult time for you. I'd have sat down with you, turned it on, and hand you the tissues. Thank you for sharing that with me. Namaste.
English Translation Nobody shall sleep!... Nobody shall sleep! Even you, oh Princess, in your cold room, watch the stars, that tremble with love and with hope. But my secret is hidden within me, my name no one shall know... No!...No!... On your mouth, I will tell it when the light shines. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!... (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!😊
@@sylviedhancarville4486 This is an opera song, has a context. It is not like pop music, where songs are just a product to sell. Opera is a theatre play, with music. Something has happened in the play and thus, the mal singer, Calaf, sings this song. Princess Turandot has ruled ...
These tribal people seem more civilised and cultured and elegant appreciating the finer things in life than the rioting angry 😡 mobs we see in Europe, England and America 😮😮😮
yes, and having never heard of him, nor of opera, they rightly deduced that he drew on great wells of sadness; he had been a child during the war in Italy and remembered the suffering and starvation of the people, esp children, even after the war. hence he supported children's charities and was v generous. these gentlemen have great soul. they understand the most profound things. bless them.
Wow! Muharam actually got very close to the actual meaning of the song when he said Pavarotti wanted to wake people up. "Nessum Dorma" literally means "None shall sleep." Singing opera is physically demanding. I never heard of anyone damaging their internal organs by doing it, but it is fairly common for singers to develop calluses, also called nodes or nodules, on their vocal cords. These nodes affect the quality of singing. Sometimes they go away with rest and therapy, but sometimes they require surgery to treat.
Julie Andrews lost her voice because of throat surgery. She was told she had nodules and it wasn't true. Her singing voice is decimated and her speaking voice is now raspy. It's such a shame, she had so beautiful a voice!
The way in which a singer singers is super important to avoid getting vocal nodules. There should be very little pressure in the throat when you're singing opera (as a female) and the sound should be generated from the diaphragm and resonating at the front of the mouth. The technique really means everything to avoid injury (I've heard of two separate instances of a woman literally dislocating her jaw because of improper singing instruction! Yikes!). I'm not sure how it works for male opera singers, but I imagine there's more risk for damage if the technique is closer to Broadway style singing than classical female vocals. No abdominal organs should be damaged XD If anything, the lungs work better in trained opera singers.
My childhood friend who I had just reconnected with after many, many years asked me to meet her for lunch in an Italian restaurant near where she lived. We were the only lunch patrons so we had the entire place to ourselves with occasional visiting by the owner/chef. "Nessun Dorma" was playing - we looked at each other, smiling, but with tears in our eyes. It was the last time I saw her - she died a few months later. Now I struggle with this beautiful masterpiece - just buckets of tears most times.
@4:47 Adnan, thank you for taking the time to explain Muharam's hand gesture. I have noticed on other videos that Muharam has music in his soul, and often reacts to beautiful music.
I've been following them for 3 years now and I've learnt so much. The wisdom and innocence in their conversations shows us how we form opinions influenced by society and not by enjoying the experience. Respect to Trybals!
The world lost one of its most amazing treasures the day Pavarotti died. RIP big man. You will be missed forever. The reactions are amazing, because these are people who didn't know who Pavarotti was, and they expressed how impressed they were by his artistry. Music truly is a universal language.
I absolutely loved the spontaneous reactions of these men, who appear to be spiritual advisors for their people. Their emotional analyses and reactions, concern for Pavarotti and the raised hand reaction were moving to me, and I admired and felt affection for the elders. I often adopt gestures and will likely react similarly in the future when so moved😊...it is very like the raised hands gesture that many people express when they feel the joy of spiritual music!
Pavarotti always makes me cry. He had such an amazing voice. I also understand the arm gestures of the fine gentlemen. It’s a sign of great appreciation. ❤️
5:22 Thank You for explaining to us the hand gestures ❤ Maybe it would make a fun video explaining different gestures meaning. I have never seen a reaction channel do that, so far.
yes, there are some gestures that americans make that are quite rude in uk. they don't mean the same. esp when speaking of 2 things, it is v rude to raise the index and middle fingers with the back of the hand towards someone. palm towards them is ok. this is in britain.
It's awesome to see that Mr. Abdul Aziz Rind Baloch by instinct or experience always knows how to find the right words or thoughts on things that he is just being introduced to (just commenting on his remarks about singing with a chest voice because I just started watching, also in sum with all the other videos before)
What a great thing to show these tribal elders! You can see they put a lot of heart in their answers to Pavarotti singing. I agree with all their comments. I think personally, music can sooth the Soul and if everyone stopped fighting and warring for a few minutes to listen to such awesome angelic music, they might drop their weapons and weep for the other side. I was so happy they were given the chance to listen to him. I love these guys!
It's such a beautiful piece of music and Pav did such a good job I truly think you'd have to be dead in the ground to not feel at least a flutter of emotion at it.
It’s a privilege to see things that are common to me through the eyes of all of you. Seeing or hearing something for the first time can never be repeated. There can only be one first time, but through your channel I can share the magic of many first times with once again by seeing your reactions. I so enjoy hearing your thoughts and seeing your responses to what you’re viewing. I feel a great appreciation and respect for you all and thank you for sharing your ideas and culture with the rest of the world. I am Scottish 🏴 but live in England 🏴 U.K. Best wishes.
He was singing in Italian, a song composed by someone who lived, a long time ago. The title means none shall sleep. He was singing a role in an opera, just as instruments were conducted by the orchestra leader, his voice is his instrument, and he is being conducted as well. Acting like an actor, playing a part. He had learned many roles in a few languages. He was singing in his native tongue this time. In his youth he did exercises to strengthen his lungs, and give his voice more power, look up how long he could hold his breath. He also learned to sing many roles in many operas, so he could sing them without the sheet of music. Many singers do all of this, so opera singers normally become adults before their training is complete.
He was such a big talent, but also in Cataluña, (Spain) we had our own opera diva, she was called Montserrat Caballé and singed many times with pavaroti would be nice for a next video to show the duo :)
I loved every moment of this. That rendition of "Nessun Dorma" always makes me cry. And the observations were lovely and profound and caring. I don't think I've ever heard a concern for the singer's organs in any Western observations, outside a singer's voice box. Thank you so much!
Just wonderful! Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma, is one of those other worldly experiences that brings me to tears, almost every time I hear it. Not today though because I so eagerly wanted to see the panels reaction. I wanted them to enjoy the performance so much, & they did, & I'm so very happy to see that they did!
Opera is a form of musical theater. It's a play that is sung and not spoken between the characters, with an orchestra providing the music, as they act out the story through music, with costumes and staging. A solo piece like this one is called an "aria," and they are often performed as a single piece of music in a concert setting like this. This was Maestro Pavarotti's signature piece, the one you bought your ticket to hear him sing. ("Maestro" is Italian for "musical ustad," basically. 😄) It is one of the very best arias, being performed by the very best tenor of the last century. And yes, singing like that takes an incredible natural gift combined with years of hard work and discipline. But no, it doesn't hurt anything.
I'm literally in tears and overwhelmed . Thank you so much for let people know the music of my Country, and thank you so much to these 3 amazing people for, knowing and appreciate Pavarotti.
You should show your friends some Vivaldi. The great composer was the head teacher of an institution that taught poor children how to be professional musicians. His music was lost for 200 years, until volumes of it were found in a library in the 1900s. Here are a couple of my favorites, Armatae fasce et anguibus th-cam.com/video/ZxrBSad5FWQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=87QhGAmCBxrlyprh and Agitata da due venti th-cam.com/video/2O9OfxS0r08/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bA5DOFj4VDGWmSeT, but feel free to use something from the Four Seasons if you want. 😉😉
I like how they recognize that he's singing quite high. Because his voice is so thick it can sound deep to some ears. Even when that high is his voice does not sound thin at all.
Muharam your reactions always make me smile. I love that you men always worry about the health of the singers you listen to. It gives me a warm feeling 😊
I think it is so interesting that these men are so worried about the singer's organs and how his singing affects his body. And yet, the sense the urgency of his words just by hearing his voice. They are very intuitive.
There is a general consensus among fans and experts that, after more than 50 years singing, Luciano Pavarotti is the greatest tenor in history... There are many others of the stature of Giuseppe Di Stefano or Jaime Aragall, but none have reached the levels of excellence that the great Italian reached. I had the incredible luck of seeing him sing in march of 2004, in his last performance at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and it is the only time I have cried listening to opera, but his Mario Cavaradossi's in Tosca (Giacomo Puccini) was simply glorious. It was because of his voice that I became fond of opera, a hobby that I still maintain and every time when I hear him singing, some tears fight to get out of my eyes, because their voice always moves me...
That had to be amazing to hear him live. In my younger days I would not acknowledge this kind of music. Now, I understand that all of rock was a product of classical music.
That last note never fails to impress, glad to see them experience it. This is the best version for sure, but his performance if it for the opening ceremony of the 2006 winter olympics is also pretty impactful considering it became his last public performance (dying less than a year later from the cancer). Also fitting with the Paris olympics starting in a few days. Pavarotti had so many great performances though. I also really like O Sole Mio.
Very interesting way of commenting. Aspecially what they said about looking angry and all the unhealthy pressure on the organs. On the other hand they pray for his soul and respect all his power he used to wake up people by opening their heart. Thank you very much. Love to India and all likeminded people from our planet earth!
For a long time, I've noticed the hand gestures that Muharam Khan Bughio makes and felt that they were very appropriate, though I hadn't yet figured out what he meant by them. Finally I concluded they were prayer-like, as if he were touching, connecting with, honoring the divinity in a situation.
This thing that you did, putting cultures together and getting a deep insight into the appreciation of this sort of music by people from a completely different part of the world, is absolutely amazing. Very moving. Well done.
No matter the language or culture, achieving such greatness in art will always break any barriers and Pavarotti was defenitley one of the greatest. He was also such a genuine and down to earth human being, I met him personally in Italy, may he rest in peace.
4:17 He's waiting for you to be moved to tears. :D 5:01 This gesture is the physical representation of the word "Behold!" Or "THIS is what it's all about!" It feels very intuitive to me, the connection between the meaning and gesture itself. I wouldn't be surprised if I did this, even as an American. Thank you for another video!
There isn't a single person, no matter where you are, the don't instantly get goosebump on the first time listening Pavarotti, it is something magical.
Please find the translation and explain to them a bit the background of Nessun Dorma! I am Italian so Luciano Pavarotti is especially dear to me, I am sure if you do so they will appreciate it even more!❤
Yes, I agree absolutely! Turandot is such a good story and they didn't understand that Calaf is anticipating triumph at dawn and marriage to the princess - not a song of pain at all!
It is great to hear this guys opinions that where so honest and the guy in charge of the interview was great explaining to them …. Fascinates me to see and hear other musicians from different cultures in this light , great video thanks .
There have only been three times to my memory that a song has brought me to tears at first listening. This is one of those songs. You never forget the first time you hear, Pavarotti (especially Nessun Dorma)
Barcelona with Montserrat Caballe and Freddy Mercury is pretty incredible, crossover of opers and rock star. Also for a female opera singer, Queen of the Night is incredible, from the Magic Flute.
I think it is important that we are finding ways to appreciate one another. Luciano Pavarotti is an amazing voice not just for those who understand the language, but those who understand passion. Blessings to you and your families.
I very much enjoyed watching this with you. When I first heard Luciano sing I was in shock. You all had a real understanding. His face during the song is amazing to watch. There is no doubt nobody could sing this song powerfully without really feeling the emotions deeply. Thank you all!
Beautifully done video. So interesting to hear the reactions of these thoughtful and spiritually-minded men, hearing for the first time something so uniquely artistic and powerful. Thank you for doing this.
Pavarotti was part of a group known at The Three Tenors; 3 of the best in the world. They formed after one of them was stricken with cancer and then recovered. They got together in 1990 to promote his return to singing and to raise money for a leukemia foundation he started. They had a concert in 1994 (in the United States) that was held in an arena full of celebrities and the President. It was watched by a billion people all over the world. If you want to see him 'competing' with the others (Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras) you should watch The 3 Tenors O Sole Mio 1994. It's so fun and everyone on stage is enjoying it.
I love that you listen to all types of music. Music expresses so much. Not even knowing what’s being said the interpretations you all come up with are so interesting. Music speaks to us all and even if you don’t like a certain type of music there are still things that can be appreciated about it. ❤
Thank you for what you do...these reactions from these people reminds us that despite the fact that we look different...speak different....and believe different from each other...that these reactions show that inside we are all the same, we are one species....so thank you and please don't stop what you are doing.
Indeed music is an truly universal language and the only one that could share so directly the felling from the performers to their audience... Indeed this feels the grief from the character to keep his name secret through the night will the princess don't left anyone sleep anyone forcing the to look for it all the night long on death penalty.... But at dawn We'll all succeed. Bless you.
I've watched many reaction videos to Pavarotti's performance but this was the best! The song title "Nessun Dorma" means "No One Sleeps!" The last 3 words "Vincero! means "I Will Win!" Thank you for sharing. Much appreciated.
I love these guys and their appreciation for music. Just goes to show that music transcends all cultures and all ages. Their reaction to Pavarotti is honest and heartfelt. Thank you 😊
Thank you! I enjoyed the comments, particularly how they appreciate his vocal gift, plus how concerned they were for his comfort and health. Bless you for this channel.
I will always remember that on the day of Pavarotti's death, the local radio had him on as an homage. I was in my car and I turned the radio way up and opened the windows and let his voice irradiate in the busy street for the full length of the aria. I could not think of a better homage from my part. No artistry can surge emotion like opera and he was the master to the masters. Long live his voice! These foreign men react so interestingly to his unimaginable power.
Hello, my name is David from Spain. I just discovered this content on TH-cam and I really liked what you have done. I have been very excited seeing people of a culture and age so different from me, reacting to songs that also move me. Especially Mr. Abdul Aziz, he reminds me of my father's father. With all due respect, that man seemed expressionless to me at first but I think the sparkle in his eyes means he enjoyed it in his own way. I will be watching more of your videos. I hope all of you enjoy listening to different songs as much as I enjoy watching you. Greetings, thank you and good luck.
Glad they enjoyed it! And I'm also glad you're going to be introducing them to more of the amazing world of fusion music~ I hope that once they get a taste for it, they'll really start to enjoy it :)
These guys are wise beyond words. Many opera singers do die very young. Pavarotti of pancreatic cancer, Dmitri Hvorostovsky of brain cancer and Jussi Bloerling of heart disease, to name just a few. It could be related to the pressures the body is put through when singing classically.
This man's singing is so beautiful it makes me cry.💗 I didn't know singing like that was bad for the organs, but nice to see everyone was concerned about this singer's well being.💕✝️💛
Thank you for another great reaction video. I have enjoyed Luciano Pavarotti's music for so many years. It is very interesting to watch the documentaries of him talking about his career and how he practiced with a voice coach all the time. He was a professional through and through. I love his voice and his wonderful gift of music he shared with all of us. Blessings to you all.
Adnan, it sounds as if you are aware of the series of benefit concerts hosted by Pavarotti. "Between 1992 and 2003 Luciano Pavarotti hosted 10 concerts at Parco Novi Sad in Modena, Italy. These events were known as Pavarotti & Friends and were in support of humanitarian causes." A couple of personal favorites are performances by Pavarotti and Tracy Chapman (song: "Baby Can I Hold You" - year 2000), Pavarotti and James Brown (song: "It's a Man's Man's Man's World' - year 2002.) So many great ones, though; just incredible. For a performance featuring a female artist whose voice soared along with Pavarotti, there is Pavarotti and Skunk Anansie / Skin (song: "You'll Follow Me Down" - year 2000). What a wonderful thing to see, hear and witness this video. So beautiful, all of it. As always, wishing the very best to all of you and yours.
Outstanding. I think the reaction was just as priceless as the performance. Music transcends and unites us as a species. We actually "get" it when performers have that undefineable quality that some of us call "soul." I think these gentlemen can recognize that "soul" across many different performances.
Tribal Musician reviews Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma:
th-cam.com/video/l8QnLFcOZaI/w-d-xo.html

Can I suggest some Mexican music like La Cigarra? th-cam.com/video/tIiskhpdRAM/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

Thank god I saw Björling and Correlli before Pavarotti 😅
@@icevariable9600I think you missed his point. He didn’t mean it was a problem with Pavorotti himself; but the problem a first-time opera listener confronts, and the problem they will inevitably confront with the next (even great, but not as great as Pavorotti), operatic singer.
It’s really just another way of expressing how great Pavorotti was.
I like Jussi Björling. But he's long dead. Pavarotti went away more recently.
Ohh yeah and Bass Baritone Bryn Terfel is pretty good. Bass and baritone voices feel like more of an acquired taste. They're not as flashy as a tenor.
Franco Corelli is my favorite tenor. Nobody else (even Pav) comes close to his impassioned interpretation of Nessun Dorma. I love both, and they are very different tenor voices.

You have that treasure for all your life
I do indeed. If I had a penny for each time I thought about it, I'd be a wealthy woman.😊
You saw him sing? Usually i just listen.

These reactions are so wholesome, honest and utterly beautiful that shows we all feel the same emotions and that music really can cover cultures, language, division. It really is the language of the world.

@@glittermama wow...amazing...
It's true...My daughter was about 4 when she first heard Pavarotti and said "I want to sing like him!" 😁
@glittermama So happy you shared him with your class...kid's can only know what they've been shown, or discovered on their own. I'm sure many of your students will not forget that day...
Oh, how wonderful! I remember the first time I heard Nessun Dorma. It was so beautiful I had tears in my eyes. I'm happy our dear friends get to listen to it too. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of music in the world, sung by a true master and legend.
We played ti's at my mother's memorial service, per her request. I cry every time I hear it, not just at his beautiful voice, but at the memory my mother had about his voice.
@@emilyflotilla931When I first heard this, I was driving and had to pull off the road because my eyes were so full of tears at its beauty. I shared this with my mom who frowned and laughed, scoffing me for being so moved by just a song. I’m glad your memory is sweeter. 😢
@leanne3649 Oh, that must have been a difficult time for you. I'd have sat down with you, turned it on, and hand you the tissues. Thank you for sharing that with me. Namaste.
Italian is a language ment to be sung. Ordering lunch is poetry. A laundry list an aria. It is the most beautiful language on earth.
Me too
English Translation
Nobody shall sleep!...
Nobody shall sleep!
Even you, oh Princess,
in your cold room,
watch the stars,
that tremble with love and with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
my name no one shall know...
No!...No!...
On your mouth, I will tell it when the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!...
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!😊
Don't ruin it. Leave it in Italian. Half the planet must learn English. Let the anglosaxons learn a new language too.
Thank you for this translation! 💗✝️💗
You should have explained why he sings that instead. ;-)
@@konradson i dont understand ... I posted also the italian words ...
@@sylviedhancarville4486 This is an opera song, has a context. It is not like pop music, where songs are just a product to sell. Opera is a theatre play, with music. Something has happened in the play and thus, the mal singer, Calaf, sings this song. Princess Turandot has ruled ...
Your channel shows that music brings people together, no matter what language we speak or culture we’re from.
Amen and namaste
These tribal people seem more civilised and cultured and elegant appreciating the finer things in life than the rioting angry 😡 mobs we see in Europe, England and America 😮😮😮
yes, and having never heard of him, nor of opera, they rightly deduced that he drew on great wells of sadness; he had been a child during the war in Italy and remembered the suffering and starvation of the people, esp children, even after the war. hence he supported children's charities and was v generous.
these gentlemen have great soul. they understand the most profound things. bless them.
These gentlemen seemed really to have thought about music and singing and how the Spirit can be expressed! Very sweet.
Blessed 🐝...
@@acommentator4452from sadness comes strength, seems like sad songs are the most beautiful
Wow! Muharam actually got very close to the actual meaning of the song when he said Pavarotti wanted to wake people up. "Nessum Dorma" literally means "None shall sleep."
Singing opera is physically demanding. I never heard of anyone damaging their internal organs by doing it, but it is fairly common for singers to develop calluses, also called nodes or nodules, on their vocal cords. These nodes affect the quality of singing. Sometimes they go away with rest and therapy, but sometimes they require surgery to treat.
Pavarotti did get a polyp on his vocal cord... he did finally have it removed. That I believe in the 1990th.
@@mzpatintexas8329 i think he got it from smoking tho
Julie Andrews lost her voice because of throat surgery. She was told she had nodules and it wasn't true. Her singing voice is decimated and her speaking voice is now raspy. It's such a shame, she had so beautiful a voice!
So that what happened to Yulia Volkova🤔
The way in which a singer singers is super important to avoid getting vocal nodules. There should be very little pressure in the throat when you're singing opera (as a female) and the sound should be generated from the diaphragm and resonating at the front of the mouth. The technique really means everything to avoid injury (I've heard of two separate instances of a woman literally dislocating her jaw because of improper singing instruction! Yikes!). I'm not sure how it works for male opera singers, but I imagine there's more risk for damage if the technique is closer to Broadway style singing than classical female vocals. No abdominal organs should be damaged XD If anything, the lungs work better in trained opera singers.
My childhood friend who I had just reconnected with after many, many years asked me to meet her for lunch in an Italian restaurant near
where she lived. We were the only lunch patrons so we had the entire place to ourselves with occasional visiting by the owner/chef. "Nessun Dorma" was playing - we looked at each other, smiling, but with tears in our eyes. It was the last time I saw her - she died a few months later. Now I struggle with this beautiful masterpiece - just buckets of tears most times.
that is a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. I think we learn as we go, there are no coincidences.
Not gonna lie, you got me in the first half...
Wasn't ready for the Feels...
May God bless and rest her soul, and may you be reunited in the peace and light of Heaven
@4:47 Adnan, thank you for taking the time to explain Muharam's hand gesture. I have noticed on other videos that Muharam has music in his soul, and often reacts to beautiful music.
I've been following them for 3 years now and I've learnt so much. The wisdom and innocence in their conversations shows us how we form opinions influenced by society and not by enjoying the experience. Respect to Trybals!
The world lost one of its most amazing treasures the day Pavarotti died. RIP big man. You will be missed forever.
The reactions are amazing, because these are people who didn't know who Pavarotti was, and they expressed how impressed they were by his artistry. Music truly is a universal language.
I absolutely loved the spontaneous reactions of these men, who appear to be spiritual advisors for their people. Their emotional analyses and reactions, concern for Pavarotti and the raised hand reaction were moving to me, and I admired and felt affection for the elders. I often adopt gestures and will likely react similarly in the future when so moved😊...it is very like the raised hands gesture that many people express when they feel the joy of spiritual music!
Pavarotti always makes me cry. He had such an amazing voice. I also understand the arm gestures of the fine gentlemen. It’s a sign of great appreciation. ❤️
I interpret it as "Stop doing whatever you are doing and listen/watch because this deserves full attention!" And it does!❤
5:22 Thank You for explaining to us the hand gestures ❤ Maybe it would make a fun video explaining different gestures meaning. I have never seen a reaction channel do that, so far.
Wow, thank you for the wonderful idea. I'll write it down :-)
That was right on point. I think I'm not the only one who first thought he was asking to stop the video to say something at 4:25 🙂
@@TRYBALS I second that. Really good idea. Here in Europe we have some gestures, which might means total opposits in village 20 km away.
yes, there are some gestures that americans make that are quite rude in uk. they don't mean the same. esp when speaking of 2 things, it is v rude to raise the index and middle fingers with the back of the hand towards someone. palm towards them is ok. this is in britain.
I feel his voice is the instrument. Just incredible and powerful.
It's awesome to see that Mr. Abdul Aziz Rind Baloch by instinct or experience always knows how to find the right words or thoughts on things that he is just being introduced to (just commenting on his remarks about singing with a chest voice because I just started watching, also in sum with all the other videos before)
I love hearing the listeners’ impressions. They have so much knowledge of anatomy.
What a great thing to show these tribal elders! You can see they put a lot of heart in their answers to Pavarotti singing. I agree with all their comments. I think personally, music can sooth the Soul and if everyone stopped fighting and warring for a few minutes to listen to such awesome angelic music, they might drop their weapons and weep for the other side. I was so happy they were given the chance to listen to him. I love these guys!
and the gentleman who rightly discerned a similarity with church music; spot on, well done!
EVERYONE felt this one. Outstanding choice! These men are so wise... Peace and love be upon you all, and please keep up the excellent videos!
And Musharam brought his love as always...that man has music in his soul. I wish I could meet him someday.
whenever I listen to Neeun Dorma I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I absolutely adore this piece
It's such a beautiful piece of music and Pav did such a good job I truly think you'd have to be dead in the ground to not feel at least a flutter of emotion at it.
It’s a privilege to see things that are common to me through the eyes of all of you. Seeing or hearing something for the first time can never be repeated. There can only be one first time, but through your channel I can share the magic of many first times with once again by seeing your reactions. I so enjoy hearing your thoughts and seeing your responses to what you’re viewing.
I feel a great appreciation and respect for you all and thank you for sharing your ideas and culture with the rest of the world.
I am Scottish 🏴 but live in England 🏴 U.K. Best wishes.
Music brings us together ❤️
Sending love from Scotland 🏴💖

He was singing in Italian, a song composed by someone who lived, a long time ago. The title means none shall sleep. He was singing a role in an opera, just as instruments were conducted by the orchestra leader, his voice is his instrument, and he is being conducted as well. Acting like an actor, playing a part. He had learned many roles in a few languages. He was singing in his native tongue this time. In his youth he did exercises to strengthen his lungs, and give his voice more power, look up how long he could hold his breath. He also learned to sing many roles in many operas, so he could sing them without the sheet of music. Many singers do all of this, so opera singers normally become adults before their training is complete.
He was such a big talent, but also in Cataluña, (Spain) we had our own opera diva, she was called Montserrat Caballé and singed many times with pavaroti would be nice for a next video to show the duo :)
❤❤❤❤
Also with Freddie Mercury!
and with freddie mercury, at his request, which astonished and pleased her greatly. RIP all 3
YES❣️An astoundingly beautiful opera legend. The world misses her❣️
Yes! 👏
I loved every moment of this. That rendition of "Nessun Dorma" always makes me cry. And the observations were lovely and profound and caring. I don't think I've ever heard a concern for the singer's organs in any Western observations, outside a singer's voice box. Thank you so much!
Just wonderful! Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma, is one of those other worldly experiences that brings me to tears, almost every time I hear it. Not today though because I so eagerly wanted to see the panels reaction. I wanted them to enjoy the performance so much, & they did, & I'm so very happy to see that they did!
Opera is a form of musical theater. It's a play that is sung and not spoken between the characters, with an orchestra providing the music, as they act out the story through music, with costumes and staging. A solo piece like this one is called an "aria," and they are often performed as a single piece of music in a concert setting like this. This was Maestro Pavarotti's signature piece, the one you bought your ticket to hear him sing. ("Maestro" is Italian for "musical ustad," basically. 😄) It is one of the very best arias, being performed by the very best tenor of the last century. And yes, singing like that takes an incredible natural gift combined with years of hard work and discipline. But no, it doesn't hurt anything.
You're absolutely right. It doesn't hurt anything at all.
Word can’t express how wonderful you all are I truly wish you had many ppl on this. Thank you so much.
From the US. I love your channel.
Thank you very much!
I'm literally in tears and overwhelmed . Thank you so much for let people know the music of my Country, and thank you so much to these 3 amazing people for, knowing and appreciate Pavarotti.
His power is amazing! He will always be a legendary singer. So much emotion.
You should show your friends some Vivaldi. The great composer was the head teacher of an institution that taught poor children how to be professional musicians. His music was lost for 200 years, until volumes of it were found in a library in the 1900s. Here are a couple of my favorites, Armatae fasce et anguibus th-cam.com/video/ZxrBSad5FWQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=87QhGAmCBxrlyprh and Agitata da due venti th-cam.com/video/2O9OfxS0r08/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bA5DOFj4VDGWmSeT, but feel free to use something from the Four Seasons if you want. 😉😉
I like how they recognize that he's singing quite high. Because his voice is so thick it can sound deep to some ears. Even when that high is his voice does not sound thin at all.
Glad you noticed this. It’s why his singing is so powerful.
Muharam your reactions always make me smile.
I love that you men always worry about the health of the singers you listen to. It gives me a warm feeling 😊
I think it is so interesting that these men are so worried about the singer's organs and how his singing affects his body. And yet, the sense the urgency of his words just by hearing his voice. They are very intuitive.
There is a general consensus among fans and experts that, after more than 50 years singing, Luciano Pavarotti is the greatest tenor in history... There are many others of the stature of Giuseppe Di Stefano or Jaime Aragall, but none have reached the levels of excellence that the great Italian reached.
I had the incredible luck of seeing him sing in march of 2004, in his last performance at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and it is the only time I have cried listening to opera, but his Mario Cavaradossi's in Tosca (Giacomo Puccini) was simply glorious.
It was because of his voice that I became fond of opera, a hobby that I still maintain and every time when I hear him singing, some tears fight to get out of my eyes, because their voice always moves me...
That had to be amazing to hear him live. In my younger days I would not acknowledge this kind of music. Now, I understand that all of rock was a product of classical music.
6:04 =1= I love this expression, how Luciano has an ocean of feelings inside him! thank you for this treasure, well done
That last note never fails to impress, glad to see them experience it. This is the best version for sure, but his performance if it for the opening ceremony of the 2006 winter olympics is also pretty impactful considering it became his last public performance (dying less than a year later from the cancer). Also fitting with the Paris olympics starting in a few days.
Pavarotti had so many great performances though. I also really like O Sole Mio.
I love this! Some feelings are just universal!
wonderful discussion from our brother musicians! ❤❤❤& I so agree that beautiful artists are an asset to the world 🎉
Very interesting way of commenting. Aspecially what they said about looking angry and all the unhealthy pressure on the organs. On the other hand they pray for his soul and respect all his power he used to wake up people by opening their heart. Thank you very much. Love to India and all likeminded people from our planet earth!
Queste persone hanno davvero un profonda sensibilità verso la musica, grazie per aver condiviso questo video.
For a long time, I've noticed the hand gestures that Muharam Khan Bughio makes and felt that they were very appropriate, though I hadn't yet figured out what he meant by them. Finally I concluded they were prayer-like, as if he were touching, connecting with, honoring the divinity in a situation.
This thing that you did, putting cultures together and getting a deep insight into the appreciation of this sort of music by people from a completely different part of the world, is absolutely amazing. Very moving. Well done.
I am a big fan of your videos. God bless you from Spain 🇪🇸🍋
No matter the language or culture, achieving such greatness in art will always break any barriers and Pavarotti was defenitley one of the greatest. He was also such a genuine and down to earth human being, I met him personally in Italy, may he rest in peace.
9:17 "Its just ike he had given everything he had" you are right brother, you understood it better than a lot of musicians
When this is played, the listener is always silent and in awe, tears in my eyes... Always!
4:17 He's waiting for you to be moved to tears. :D 5:01 This gesture is the physical representation of the word "Behold!" Or "THIS is what it's all about!" It feels very intuitive to me, the connection between the meaning and gesture itself. I wouldn't be surprised if I did this, even as an American. Thank you for another video!
years ago I have commented on this performance in a very similar manor.. He simply left everything there.. pure musical excellence, artistry and focus
He has incredible performances, enjoy, Trybal friends!
Blessings to Luciano Pavarotti your gift to others lives on.
There isn't a single person, no matter where you are, the don't instantly get goosebump on the first time listening Pavarotti, it is something magical.
Loved seeing their reactions to this!
I love these reaction videos so much! Nessun Dorma takes me back to a very special time in my childhood in Scotland. Very happy memories ❤
Please find the translation and explain to them a bit the background of Nessun Dorma! I am Italian so Luciano Pavarotti is especially dear to me, I am sure if you do so they will appreciate it even more!❤
Yes, I agree absolutely! Turandot is such a good story and they didn't understand that Calaf is anticipating triumph at dawn and marriage to the princess - not a song of pain at all!
So nice to hear this gentleman talking. Internet as its best.
It is great to hear this guys opinions that where so honest and the guy in charge of the interview was great explaining to them …. Fascinates me to see and hear other musicians from different cultures in this light , great video thanks .
There have only been three times to my memory that a song has brought me to tears at first listening. This is one of those songs. You never forget the first time you hear, Pavarotti (especially Nessun Dorma)
I love how they look so conscious about the body. Also love the mandalas and the way of dressing. Thank you ❤
Barcelona with Montserrat Caballe and Freddy Mercury is pretty incredible, crossover of opers and rock star.
Also for a female opera singer, Queen of the Night is incredible, from the Magic Flute.
maybe you could shew them the male duet from the pearl fishers by bizet. it's beautiful too
I love living vicariously through happy moments....
I think it is important that we are finding ways to appreciate one another. Luciano Pavarotti is an amazing voice not just for those who understand the language, but those who understand passion. Blessings to you and your families.
I very much enjoyed watching this with you. When I first heard Luciano sing I was in shock. You all had a real understanding. His face during the song is amazing to watch. There is no doubt nobody could sing this song powerfully without really feeling the emotions deeply. Thank you all!
This performance always brings tears to my eyes. So powerful, so intense!
Beautifully done video. So interesting to hear the reactions of these thoughtful and spiritually-minded men, hearing for the first time something so uniquely artistic and powerful. Thank you for doing this.
Mkes me cry every time,a light went out when we lost this great man.
Pavarotti was part of a group known at The Three Tenors; 3 of the best in the world. They formed after one of them was stricken with cancer and then recovered. They got together in 1990 to promote his return to singing and to raise money for a leukemia foundation he started. They had a concert in 1994 (in the United States) that was held in an arena full of celebrities and the President. It was watched by a billion people all over the world. If you want to see him 'competing' with the others (Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras) you should watch The 3 Tenors O Sole Mio 1994. It's so fun and everyone on stage is enjoying it.
I love that you listen to all types of music. Music expresses so much. Not even knowing what’s being said the interpretations you all come up with are so interesting. Music speaks to us all and even if you don’t like a certain type of music there are still things that can be appreciated about it. ❤
Thank you for what you do...these reactions from these people reminds us that despite the fact that we look different...speak different....and believe different from each other...that these reactions show that inside we are all the same, we are one species....so thank you and please don't stop what you are doing.
Indeed music is an truly universal language and the only one that could share so directly the felling from the performers to their audience... Indeed this feels the grief from the character to keep his name secret through the night will the princess don't left anyone sleep anyone forcing the to look for it all the night long on death penalty.... But at dawn We'll all succeed. Bless you.
Gratitude for sharing what that hand movement means. That is a beautiful gesture.
I've watched many reaction videos to Pavarotti's performance but this was the best! The song title "Nessun Dorma" means "No One Sleeps!" The last 3 words "Vincero! means "I Will Win!" Thank you for sharing. Much appreciated.
3:48 Bro was like "I - wait, let him cook"
I love these guys and their appreciation for music. Just goes to show that music transcends all cultures and all ages. Their reaction to Pavarotti is honest and heartfelt. Thank you 😊
The best reactions man! Great channel. Tribal people are so profound and I am always surprised with how they comment on something. Beautiful
Thank you! I enjoyed the comments, particularly how they appreciate his vocal gift, plus how concerned they were for his comfort and health. Bless you for this channel.
Just wonderful and deeply moving - the power and the passion in his magnificent voice. With love from Ireland. ❤️🇮🇪
I will always remember that on the day of Pavarotti's death, the local radio had him on as an homage. I was in my car and I turned the radio way up and opened the windows and let his voice irradiate in the busy street for the full length of the aria. I could not think of a better homage from my part. No artistry can surge emotion like opera and he was the master to the masters. Long live his voice! These foreign men react so interestingly to his unimaginable power.
I love these guys with all my heart. They're so lovely and I hope they continue learning and experiencing the world around them 🙂
Hello, my name is David from Spain.
I just discovered this content on TH-cam and I really liked what you have done.
I have been very excited seeing people of a culture and age so different from me, reacting to songs that also move me.
Especially Mr. Abdul Aziz, he reminds me of my father's father.
With all due respect, that man seemed expressionless to me at first but I think the sparkle in his eyes means he enjoyed it in his own way.
I will be watching more of your videos.
I hope all of you enjoy listening to different songs as much as I enjoy watching you.
Greetings, thank you and good luck.
These are such profoundly intelligent people, and I'm so happy that I've come across you and your channel.
Glad they enjoyed it! And I'm also glad you're going to be introducing them to more of the amazing world of fusion music~ I hope that once they get a taste for it, they'll really start to enjoy it :)
These guys are wise beyond words. Many opera singers do die very young. Pavarotti of pancreatic cancer, Dmitri Hvorostovsky of brain cancer and Jussi Bloerling of heart disease, to name just a few. It could be related to the pressures the body is put through when singing classically.
Loved this reaction video. Pavarotti 's voice was a gift from God. Always loved the Three Tenors.
This man's singing is so beautiful it makes me cry.💗
I didn't know singing like that was bad for the organs, but nice to see everyone was concerned about this singer's well being.💕✝️💛
One of the worlds impossibilitys is finding fault with this incredible
human being,thank you with all my heart Luciano and may you rest in peace.
Thank you for another great reaction video. I have enjoyed Luciano Pavarotti's music for so many years. It is very interesting to watch the documentaries of him talking about his career and how he practiced with a voice coach all the time. He was a professional through and through. I love his voice and his wonderful gift of music he shared with all of us. Blessings to you all.
I appreciate the wisdom that all of you speak. Blessings
Adnan, it sounds as if you are aware of the series of benefit concerts hosted by Pavarotti. "Between 1992 and 2003 Luciano Pavarotti hosted 10 concerts at Parco Novi Sad in Modena, Italy. These events were known as Pavarotti & Friends and were in support of humanitarian causes." A couple of personal favorites are performances by Pavarotti and Tracy Chapman (song: "Baby Can I Hold You" - year 2000), Pavarotti and James Brown (song: "It's a Man's Man's Man's World' - year 2002.) So many great ones, though; just incredible. For a performance featuring a female artist whose voice soared along with Pavarotti, there is Pavarotti and Skunk Anansie / Skin (song: "You'll Follow Me Down" - year 2000). What a wonderful thing to see, hear and witness this video. So beautiful, all of it. As always, wishing the very best to all of you and yours.
Outstanding. I think the reaction was just as priceless as the performance. Music transcends and unites us as a species. We actually "get" it when performers have that undefineable quality that some of us call "soul." I think these gentlemen can recognize that "soul" across many different performances.
