His interpretation of arias such as 'Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's Turandot has become legendary, showcasing his ability to convey deep emotions with unparalleled expressiveness.

Congratulations! 🇳🇱
*When he hit that last note, I was expecting the heavens to open and beams of light fill the earth.*
No such luck,wink.
His eyes at the end of the piece, are one of the highlights of the aria. It's almost as if he's been singing from a higher plane, and only realises it when he comes back down after delivering the final note. This really is a work of art by the great genius.🙋♂
A few months ago, in our way to school, my 9 years old child told me they were going to talk about opera in school. He told me ‘daddy, what’s opera?’. I got my phone and told him I was going to show him. On the last ‘Vincero’ he started to shake and his mouth was wide open, tears falling through his eyes. When the video ended, I told him ‘that’s opera, I watched this when I was a child and I felt exactly how you feel right now. This is why I love opera’. He said nothing, but I could really see he was genuinely impressed and didn’t know how to express himself.
opera is a browser.
Ópera é a linguagem da emoção!
Apenas corações sensíveis conseguem compreender.
75 yrs from now your kid will remember this as a seminal and life-expanding moment from you. That's what families are for -- cheers!
Pavarotti himself stated emphatically that while he always had a love for football his one and only passion and obsession in life was the Opera. He was a fierce believer that Opera belonged to the people and there is a reason he worked so hard to promote and bring the Opera to the masses. He also taught free classes to up and coming tenors, he was very supportive of his fellow colleagues and wanted to teach them better techniques to further their careers.
That is ambitious, I love it
Yes, but how he could he claim Nessun Dorma?! FRANCO CORELI IS the best Calaf ever! On the whole, Pav. .made a name for himself, as a sĥowman .Corelli stood away from limelight, there was no need for him to attract audience, like Pavarotti did.😮
@@atizaries5512 For me it's about the emotion & passion that exudes from Pavarotti. Also I hear Corelli "dragging" out, or "lingering" on the words a hair's breath more (for lack of a better way to explain it).
He didn't even sing this. He LIVED it. Just his facial expressions after the grand finale alone. Absolutely stunning performance.
"Don't get relationship advice from operas."
Truer words have never been spoken. 😂
Nor from Eastenders
@@thomasmacdiarmid8251?
Not even Marriage of Figaro? :)
@@guitargamesandliverpool Beth had compared the plots of operas to soap operas and used a scene from Eastenders as an example. So I was continuing her comparison.
I started to choke I was laughing so hard. Someone needs to put that line in a movie. "Don't take relationship advice from opera."
This is olympic gold medal winning performance .
Opera was for the working classes in Italy. I once sat in the Amphitheatre in Verona at the very top. The residents around the theatre all sat in their windows with a glass if wine enjoying the show.
amazing
Not only have I listened to many singers doing Nessum Dorma, I have also listened to many versions of Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma, and for me, this one is still, by far, the best. Unbelievable how he could sing so quietly and so loud at the same time. He has a version Caruso (featuring Jeff Beck) in the album Ti Adoro which is phenomenal too.
It's the second best for me. Nobody beats Jussi Björling
WHO is Jussi Björling? My favorite Pavarotti aria is „ e lucevan le stelle“ by far..
@@michaeldr.thalwitzer5580 Jussi Björling is the Swedish tenor that was Pavarotti's idol and that he always studied before tackling a new role
Hearing Jeff Beck play this on guitar was mesmerizing for me;)
This Is Pavarotti toward the end of his career and, although still impressive, this performance Is nowhere near his best. Try looking up the version of this Song with a video direction from Zeffirelli, you can see Pavarotti in the prime of his voice and it'll just blow you away.
Wonderful piece of music! As an English male who loved this as the soundtrack to Italia ‘90, this always gives me goosebumps. Quite amusing that there will be 1000’s of Englishmen who can’t speak a word of Italian (me included) who will sing along to this!! I love to see the obvious joy you get from this. Lovely.
I am a musician, a ROCK musician. I had a girlfriend who couldn't understand why I like opera. One day watching PBS -- I'm from Shetland, but I live in America -- Pavarotti was to be featured. It was a nice spring day in South Florida so I had the front door open. Him doing this "song". I never heard the screen door open and close, too focused on the dude. As I was clapping I head someone else clapping. It was my girlfriend who HATED OPERA, tears in her eyes: "Who is that?" she asked. I told her Pavarotti. She said "I love opera." Of course you do! He is amazing!
Only deaf or insane not to like Pavarotti. 😊
Doesn’t matter how many times I hear this, never fails to give me goosebumps.
I see so many vocal coach reactions and analyses here on youtube but I came across your channel and your podcast first and I gotta say...Among the dussins of vocal coaches channels here you are the only one who proper analyze the singers and back it up with experience and theory. Thank you Beth!
Thank you so much! Although I would check out Fairy Voice Mother, she is fantastic!
True!
I grew up listening to Punk, Post Punk, and New Wave. I love Metal (death and black metal are favorites), and Alternative. My whole musical life, is dark, hard-hitting - sometimes vulgar - lyrics, and loud, heavy sonics. And Pavarotti brings me to tears every time. Go figure.
By the time I was listening this one song I was like 18 years old (1989) and I also was listening medieval music and discovered Slayer and Metallica 😂 Also alternative and postpunk. We should start a club 😅 Regards from Chile!
Metal and opera have much in common. The emotion and drama!
I'm a dude that only listens to metal yet I like opera like this and classic music. If you ask me, if a lot of the classic composers were born today they would probably have been metal artist
@Pharto_Stinkus
Il tuo errore è cercare di capire,Pavarotti come Vivaldi o Albinoni non passano per il cervello,vanno diritti al cuore...
Che poi siano tutti italiani è solo un caso...😉
You're the first vocal coach that explained the context of "Nessun Dorma" in Puccini's Turandot.
Pavarotti was the greatest and best I knew.
His voice was soft and clear. He will never be forgotten by those, like me, who admired him.
Greetings from Brazil.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
The look in his eyes after he hits that peak. Almost like he could hardly believe the sound that he produced.
Pavarotti hits my cry button every single time
OMG, thank you, Beth. I never listened to Pavarotti before and never knew what I was missing! This was like getting struck by lightning while on top of the highest mountain in the world and discovering you are immortal.
Well said!
I'm a regular guy. But hearing and seeing that last note and especially the incredible expression on his face that had to come from an almost hyper-human effort had me in tears! He was like no other in my opinion.
His face when the final note hit seemed like he touched the absolute
Insuperable, inigualable, irrepetible,unico y eterno Pavarotti ❤❤❤
The choirs always give me goosebumps!
Allora te ne consiglio uno, non molto famoso, ma per me straordinario, Donizetti, Maria Stuarda, "Vedeste? Vedemmo".
I have never been an opera singer but was a dj and my wife was a Jazz singer so I had a wide range of tastes. Till this day as a 50 year old man this song brings tears to my eyes every time.
You've really upped the quality of these reaction videos! Love it!
Glad you like them!
This version is truly great. I came across this one here on TH-cam a long time ago, and I love it: The best Nessun dorma - Luciano Pavarotti - Turandot - Puccini. He's young in this one and really holds notes for a long time.
People that know about Opera, the story is the thing that is important, and the "story teller" are the people that get famous... Pavarotti is one of the best "story" tellers of all time, always will be :)
As often as I've heard Nessun dorma, by, Pavarotti and countless others, this was so helpful! The combination of your explanations and the camera's view up into Pavarotti's mouth really clarified things. Thank you! Now I need to run through all my other favorite tenors and check whether they start with that nasal consonant the same way.
I truly enjoy your reactions, Beth! Keep them coming!
Beth, I love this reaction! Your analysis and recounting of the story are great, but I most appreciate your own dramatic response to Pavarotti's transcendent performance! Brava, Beth! 😊❤️🇨🇦
@bethroars I've listened to this dozens of times and just seen your wonderful, joyful reaction ! Thanks so much 🙋
Wonderful reaction and explanation! One of the many qualities of Pavarotti's technique is his ability to make all the words perfectly intelligible. Wonderful voice. His famous "high Cs" in Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment are still unparalled to this day: the apparent ease with which he could belt them out is impressive. Thank you for honoring his memory with this beautiful video.
Very nicely reviewed Beth. I have been watching Pavarotti sing this version of Nessun dorma ever since I bought the DVD of this exact Three Tenors Performance long ago.
Thank you Beth. I really enjoyed this analysis of Pavarotti's performance
this song takes me back to the best times in my life, powerful and tearful every time
Loved to see your enthusiasm. I always get teared up when I hear Pavarotti sing this.
It looks so effortless, just insane:)
i love this song and performance.
Just amazing!!!! What a performance
Pavarotti’s duet with Tracy Chapman of her song ‘Baby can I hold you tonight’ is absolutely stunning
Tracy❤
Thank you! In my opinion the best analysis of this performance I have seen on TH-cam so far!
Wow, thank you!
This is just a completely iconic performance. I feel like I saw that shot of him hitting that big note a hundred times back in the 90s, before I'd ever actually seen the performance itself. And his face after it is just amazing. He's like, "Oh my god, that was historic!"
What a great reaction video to one of the greatest songs ever! Keep up the great work!
Liquid gold for my ears.
Thank you for explaining why Pavarotti was so exceptional. I also appreciate the discussion of how opera music sometimes differs from other singing.
This makes me proud of my country 🥹🇮🇹
That B is the greatest note in all of music 🙂
Teacher, the same voice. I saw a comparative video of him in 1977 at the age of 41 and at 70 years old it is impressive the quality of the voice being the same.
I always get the shivers listening to this masterpiece.
I've never fully understood why, but this song and his performance always brings tears to my eyes. It affects me this way every time I hear it. 😢
If you are looking for emotional versions. Look no further than Jussi Bjorling and his incredibly emotive voice. it was said that he could bring tears out of fully grown up men and even stones...
And Jussi was Pavarotti's favourite. In fact he would always study how Jussi approached a piece before tackling it himself
Americans did and amazing job producing three three tenors show and preparing the MSG for a superb recording that will live forever
For a comparison on the delivery of "vincero", look up Jussi Björling singing Nessun Dorma. There's a video of the recording from 1944 floating around here.
Goosebumps - every single time I hear this .....
In the mid-'70's I heard Pavarotti in recital, performing for an audience that included many trained singers. With a truly great artist on stage, many experts can turn from being critics to being blubbering fanboys and girls, carried away with emotion. After Pav hit a high C it was like a magnetic force dragged everyone to their feet, cheering wildly. Yes raw emotion is a valid part of operatic expression and we need it more than ever now when the art form, beset by cynical revisionism, is having a lot of trouble.
That's the face of a man awakening from a deep trance realizing that he just gave his everything and has achieved perfection. A musical orgasm.
I love watching videos of Pavaratti (though his performance of Vesti la Guibba from I Pagliacci is my favorite of his) because he isn't just a phenomenal singer, but he's the total package of a performer. He's so in-character with his facial expressions, even in a setting like this one.
I never saw the Teacher so happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So much fun to watch Beth go crazy over great singing. 😁
You did not mention his perfect anchoring of his tongue at the end!!
Thank you for sharing this Beth. I have fond memories of my dad 'singing' along to many famous operas on the weekends. I still have his LP box sets of many famous operas. I think he loved LaBoheme the most with Pavarotti singing of course. If he didn't have the opera he would turn on his stereo receiver and listen to the simulcast of the Met Live from New York. We lived in Chicago and I am not sure if he ever saw Pavarotti live. He saw many operas at the Lyric Opera House in Chicago but whenever Pavarotti was scheduled to appear he would mysteriously cancel at the last minute. This behavior caused him to be banned from the Lyric Opera House by Ardis Kranik the director.
As a side note it is nice to see that even in action movies Opera can serve as a backdrop. In Quantum of Solace Daniel Craig attends a performance of Tosca to learn more about a secret organization.
In Mission Impossible Ethan Hunt tries to locate a terrorist at a performance of Turandot in Vienna.
My dad had a decent voice but didn't know Italian so he just imitated what he heard. It didn't matter to him, I think expression was more important than any language barrier. Opera is very powerful, as any music that touches the heart. Thank you for the analysis and look forward to many more.
Every time I hear this I'm struck by the beauty of the bridge (?) - Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
che ti fa mia!. It's not just the dynamics, as you mentioned, but the melody, as well. It's a virtually haunting interlude.
Also worth noting is Pavarotti's breathing during the last "vincerò". How he tops of between "vince" and "rò", so he has enough air to finish air to complete the song the way he wants to. This takes forever to master.
ALL operas have silly plots, and the most beautiful songs often have less than impressive lyrics. What's important is not so much the plot or the lyrics, but the emotion you share as a singer.
Opera singing seems to be something that either comes naturally to you (still takes a LOT of practice) or it doesn't. I'm one of those, where it simply suits my voice better, and the first time I let go of beliefs of how a teenage girl was supposed to sing, it changed me forever, because it gave me the freedom to express myself.
To some it will be unnatural, and it will sound as weird as if I tried to sing gospel. Either is perfectly fine, as long as you embrace your voice as it is, not as you wish it to be.
Pavarotti was uniquely talented by the real genius here is Giacomo Puccini, the arias from his operas are music from heaven
Beautiful...🎙🎙🎙🎼🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵💎💎💎💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏
Que bella canción y luego cantada por un grande de la música en el mundo como Pavarotti fascinante la veo radiante y más bonita a decer por su trabajo discografico y su gran vídeo reciente felicidades señorita Beth 👏👏🍀🍀
When he was younger and performing in the Opera Turandot, he held those last two notes for 18 (yes 18) seconds, check it out. He was one of a kind, no question.
That final Note touches the stars, and the heavens open,in my opinion. I have listened to this version so many times, but it never fails to touch my heart. Pavarotti truly was the master.
DAN VASC!!! I heard Pavrotti sing in concert in Miami in 1986 I believe. No one since has driven me to tears with Nessun Dorma, UNTIL Dan Vasc. His version doubles the ending. Dan may have one of the best trained voices in the world today.
Beth, I love you. I truly adore you. You have an amazing personality, are so smart, have a beautiful smile (which melts my heart), and you’re so pretty.
I love your breakdowns of all genres of music. I know you teach music for a living, but my God, you really, really know your stuff. Bravo to you me’ Lady.
Beth,
You asked for another emotional version of this. Dan Vasc (a metal singer) will blow you away! Totally unexpected.
Enjoy-
Excelente tu reacción, realmente me cautivaste. Muchas gracias por los subtítulos, ya que no sé inglés. Saludos desde Ciudad de Guatemala en Centro América.
Thank you 😊
Acho lindíssimo e emocionante.
Enche o coração de alegria e os olhos de lágrimas!
Bravo! 👏👏👏
Top-notch reaction to a legendary performance. Listen to that audience. Do you think they might agree? Thanks for your insights, Beth. I always learn something from you.
Nothing to say about Pavarotti that hasn't been said before - but your enthusiasm is absolutely charming and "little girlish" as mine is - and I'm a man!! Submission before great art is the last uplifting pleasure left, isn't it...
You have to love Beth, she’s fantastica!
Unbeatable, he's a true legend.
Thank you! That was very interesting, and a great reaction. Your explanations though,, I've watched a lot of reactions to this. And probably at least 4 vocal coaches, but you explained some things that no one had mentioned in just the right amount of detail. Without over explaining, which is massively appreciated 😁😎🤣
P S. I'm half Italian, and always liked opera. I know this from the 1990 world cup like you said, lol. It worked sooo well
Beth it is such a pleasure to witness your pure excitement when you analyse one of your favourite performers. One can see in Luciano's expression at the end, that he knows he has surpassed his own superb high standards with that performance. The next best rendition, I think, comes when the majestic three sing this in the encore of this same concert.
Huge fan of Pavarotti (and of you!)
I sort of use my voice for my work .. definitely not a singer! Couldn't carry a tune in a bucket!.. but I have learned so much about voice and breath control from you over the last many months. So, thanks!
Carry on! I'll be around.
Pavarotti was very inspired by the Swedish opera scene and obviously Jussi Björling in particular. It's very apparent in his style that he always studied Jussi before tackling a new piece. In fact Pav once said that just being compared to Jussi was the greatest honor he could ever wish for
Nicely done
The fact that the chosen version was from when he was 59 years old says everything
Believe it or not, there is a video out there of Pavarotti singing a duet with James Brown of It's A Man's World.
And Ian Gillan. Cool and odd.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Where is the evidence of that. They are actually8 on stage together. That much is clear.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Watch it and tell me you see any evidence it wasn't a live performance.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I'd just like a little documentation. "It was known" doesn't cut it as evidence.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I see no evidence of lip syncing and it seems you're just speculating.
That was such a cool commentary. Could have listened for an hour to your explanations.
He has given all his blood in this aria.
Really!
I don't know if this song moves certain strings in my soul, but I always end up crying when I listen to this masterpiece, haha.
Pavarotti the absolute Legend! you should do a reaction to the "A mes amis" aria from his 1972 MET performance of La fille du régiment! 9 absolutely effortless high C's gave him a record of 17 curtain calls. He drove the crowd crazy!
Imposoble que una maestra de musica o analista nunca hubiera escuchado esa cancion y version antes
If you like Pavarotti's voice in this. You should listen to U2's "Miss Sarajevo" with Pav. playing an integral part in the song. It was live and he brings the house down with a single note!!!! Just search: U2's "Miss Sarajevo"
My favourite quote from the You Tube comments was: "He hit that note like it owed him money..."
you are very talented regarding knowledge of the voice and i must admit beautiful aswell.
Pavarotti is my favourite opera singer, and i really love when he sings Leoncavallo's Pagliacci.
His voice makes women swoon and men empowered!
Giacomo Puccini: A genius. How else should one best portray resounding triumph ("I will win; I will win") than building up tension -like a roller-coaster going up (forcing us to hold our breath)- and taking us to the highest almost unbearable point (the high B), to then release it with that final A, filling our souls with a sense of great victory, relieved, tears in our eyes, joyful, grateful to be alive...to have defeated evil and darkness...as we witness the dawn of a new, glorious day...still standing...
Perfection.
Bravo! Bravo!
When I was learning to be an opera singer, "covering" was drilled into me.
😮Beth, I’ve watched this dozens of times. So this time I focused on your face and your reactions as you became a Fangirl, basking in the spectacle that is Pavarotti.
I love that you explained that Opera isn’t filled with stories about lovely people. It amuses me that my music-loving mother at a very young age listened to the Met on Sunday afternoons after having read the storyline of the opera ahead of time! (I’m talking 6-8 years old!) I’m amazed my very Victorian grandmother thought that was suitable literature for her little baby!
Only he could have sung like that. Grande Italiano.
