In a former life I was a classically trained baritone... oh, how I envied the tenors! Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma never fails to make me cry, even now. It is truly one of the greatest musical performances ever.
Pavarotti never fails to bring tears to my eyes as well. And I always look to see if people who listen to his music whether they are really taking in the magnitude of Pavarotti's power and emotion. If they don't cry, then I am disappointed in their lack of emotional capability.
Oh, I cannot absolutely listen to Pavarotti in public because I'm always reduced to tears. His powerful voice, the emotion behind it; it's indescribable. I am so lucky that my Dad listened to opera because I learned to appreciate it. While my classmate's parents were into Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin, I was listening to opera and classical music.
How can anyone not feel emotion when an amazing tenor takes center stage? The first tenor I ever heard sing was my Grandpa. I just thought that was how a man sang. I quickly found out that men who had this ability were a rarity, not the norm. American tenor, Mario Lanza singing Oh Holy Night will bring tears to your eyes. My Grandpa introduced me to his voice in the early 1960s. Pavarotti's voice was the very top of the best in the world, to be sure.
This is my favorite from Pavarotti, it always makes me emotional and tear up a bit. Also, it seems like Mr. Adnan Ali really knows and understands the world of art and music, he has such good and true points.
This only proves to me that you have next to no knowledge of Pavarotti, this is an impressive aria but it is not an emotional one and I'm sorry but it's not even in the top 10 of incredible performance Pavarotti gave.
@@jackwhitbread4583 If you say so, it must be true, right? I said it is MY favorite, not that it is the best from him. Calm your tits, Mr. Know-It-All.
The greatest tenor I have had the pleasure of hearing. RIP to the greatest. Some like Caruso, but I get chills when Pavarotti sings up and down my arms and legs. It's uncanny. Every single time he sings I get this reaction and it doesn't matter how many times I hear him sing. He's incredible.
Caruso was 💯 better than Pavarotti.Domingo was by far the better operatic tenor.He coloured his voice,he could act (which Pavarotti couldn't do very well)and had a far richer and more beautiful voice.Domingo comes no where near the class of Caruso,however (no-one else has),but has similar top notes to Caruso.The old recording techniques hamper people's appreciation of Caruso nowadays,but once you get used to them,you can hear that Caruso was the greatest operatic dramatic tenor till now.Pavarotti was very good,but,as he himself said, didn't have a beautiful voice.His breath control was also very good,but he didn't really colour his voice very well.The thing that was outstanding about Pavarotti's voice was his ability to sing wonderful top Ds!I like Pavarotti,you always felt safe with him,ie.you didn't think that he would fluff his high notes,but there have been far better tenors.Shame Caruso died before Puccini wrote Turandot with Nessun Dorma in it,as his rendition would have been the best.I expect Pavarotti and Domingo would have agreed with me on this.🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️🐊🐊🐊
This guy understanding the importance and vital role of the conductor understands more about opera and classical composing than most enthusiasts. He has a beautiful understanding of music.
What I find, many people are mesmerised by the performance however Mr Adnan Ali shows such understanding and appreciation of the entire team producing such a piece of powerful music
Bravo! Bravo to you, Adnan for making this video, to your guest for his thoughtful reaction, and to Pavarotti for stirring up my emotions with his perfect rendition. Perfection! This may well be my favorite channel of all.
Sir is very right that the conductor is giving his instructions to the orchestra. But the conductor does not give instructions to Pavarotti. The conductor takes his instructions from Pavorotti and conveys them to the orchestra. That is why the conductor watches Pavarotti so closely. He takes his cues from Pavarotti. You see that Pavarotti does not watch the conductor, the conductor watches Pavarotti.
I grew to not only appreciate but truly love opera later in life. One doesn't necessarily need to understand the language, the power in their voices is so beautiful and overwhelming it brings tears to the eyes. Pavarotti was indeed one of a kind. ❤❤❤
I have complex PTSD and opera and art were my sole companions. I had no idea what they were singing but could feel the emotion. I did art at the same time with my eyes closed, just using the colours. I have cried over those paintings since they expressed the emotions I could not say. I am no artist at all.
In a way, I would argue that it's the responsibility of a master of any art or craft to teach it to others if they don't want that art or craft to go extinct.
@@godwintalking4724 Depends what it is. The last speaker of a language, or the last painter of a certain style? Of course not. The last person to die of cancer? Well, I'd rather not get cancer in the first place but if I ended up with terminal cancer, being the last person to ever die from it wouldn't be so bad.
I feel the same way about fans of something. Take music for instance, say, rock or metal, just as an example. The fan "communities" of these can be irrationally and nonsensically insular, and exclusionary. There are many "metalheads" who don't want to share the music, the "culture", etc. Something they inherited from punk rock fans. Or progressive rock fans, etc. It's stupid and pointless, and always has been. I ran into that when I was first getting more into metal in my teens. Instead of welcoming me with open arms, and trying to turn me on to various bands and styles, I was met by a lot of local idiots, one of whom even called me a "poser" for, at the tender age of 15, having the sheer audacity to only JUST be getting into Metallica and other bands, and only at the time knew songs I'd heard on the radio or MTV. That is such a bullshit attitude. If people want these styles, and the LOVE of these musics to go on and on, they should welcome new and younger fans, they should be very welcoming and positive, sharing their love of the thing, instead of trying to greedily keep it for themselves, as in "NO, it's OUR music, you can't have it". Only the cool kids club can listen to this, and there's no room for new cool kids. So idiotic. And it's no different with artists or musicians who won't teach their techniques, petty and jealous, clinging to it as if it's THEIRS, and no one else can have it. Musicians are so big on sharing their art with others, they want people to hear them. So why not teach others, so they can share in your style and passion too?
As a multi instrumentalist myself I find it sad that he was saying that people there are reluctant to pass on their knowledge to future generations. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
It's interesting to hear Deedar's interpretation of the strings and Pavarotti's emotion at the end being of relaxation. The aria is sung by a Prince who is a suitor for the hand of a Princess who has vowed never to marry and the context of the aria is that he has made a deal with her that, if she can't guess his name by dawn, she will be forced to accept him. She pulls out all the stops to try to discover his name in time and the aria is basically him gloating and being certain that he'll win her over once she has no choice but to submit to his "attentions" and the famous climactic "Vincero! Vincero!" part (meaning "I'll win! I'll win!") is him revelling in his almost certain victory. Therefore, the instrumental at the end is meant to be dramatic and rousing, not relaxing, so it's interesting to see how different people interpret music when their emotion isn't coloured by knowing the intent behind it. I have to go against the grain of comments here and say that this is actually not my favourite performance of Nessun Dorma because, while it's beautiful and vocally masterful, it's a bit lacking in emotion that matches the text - even in the ending, where he does give it some substance, it doesn't feel like that's all Pavarotti could give. Pavarotti seems to be singing the aria here as more of a vocal exercise, rather than "performing" it (which is an issue that also infects a lot of the performances of singers who don't have a background in staged opera, who sing Nessun Dorma just as a way of showing off their chops because Pavarotti made it so famous). I loved this version until I actually saw Turandot, learned what the words mean and saw and heard them "acted" rather than simply sung - it just felt very different and far more dramatic, rather than simply beautiful. There's actually a video available of a young Pavarotti singing it in what looks like a film, which I think is a superior interpretation of the piece. There are also a few videos of Jonas Kaufmann singing it (especially the one done during a recording session) where I think his interpretation is much more impactful as well as having the vocal chops to pull it off (there's a good one from the BBC Proms which also provides a translation).
@pszczolka80 : very well written- thank you. I know people are different and this is beautiful, but i enjoy with context. Means, it is important to know the story of the opera. Otherwise it will be superficial not deep enough.
Well... What I always say about Pavarotti is that if you're Pavarotti you can do whatever you like. Everybody else was a better actor than he was, many others were better suited to the role, but he understood one fundamental thing better than nearly everyone else ever has, summed up by an old director I once had: prima la voce, secunda la voce, terza la voce. I think Giacomini sang it better, and Corelli sang it better, and nearly everyone acted it better, but Pavarotti had a beautiful, distinctive voice. It SHOULD be sung by someone with a more dramatic sound, like Giacomini or even Melchior, but dramatic voices aren't preferred nowadays. A guy like Pavarotti who made his rep on a beautiful, lyric sound and a really easy top can do whatever he wants, and his technique is such that he will follow the style and make it sound beautiful...and at the end of the day, that's what it's all about.
You are very correct sir...as a long-term metalhead with my heart bound by Pantera/Slayer/Motorhead...I would instantly buy a ticket to hear an orchestra made up of the instruments you mentioned and experience your culture of music. Led Zeppelin, one of the best rock music bands ever in existence worldwide, did a song called Kashmir which delved into the rhythm and nuance of sound from your (roughly) part of the world... and worldwide it was a big hit. The experimentation and introduction of great music from one part of the world into another is eye opening and just builds upon the foundation of emotions brought on by music, truly an international language. I would love to hear the collaboration of traditional instruments from your culture that you proposed... please make it happen!
I recently started listening to 'uncommon' music and watching 'uncommon' dance such as Throat singing, Viking Hymns, Maori warrior dancing, Native American, celtic and on and on. Not all styles and types will appeal, but there are so many that can and will. We miss out on a lot when we try to gather our own culture to our chests and not share it OR take the time to listen to others. I'd LOVE to hear some music from the 'Tribes'! So glad I came across this channel. I don't have much But I am going to 'buy you a coffee"!
.. this man kept talking only about the musicians .. like the GENERAL in front of them was average of subpar .. Pavarotti was a TITAN and will never be forgotten nor surpassed !
It’s his pride that will not let him say this is the greatest singer voice he has ever heard. And he facial gestures at the very beginning of the video lets you know he had made up his mind no matter how the singer might be. Shame because this is a great singer! As for young people keeping onto traditions of old, good luck with that because with youth come new ideas and they are just not interested in the old ways with go away when the older folk do be they good or bad. Everything changes. He was in a sense rolling his eyes and it’s his right to do so but the world is bigger than his 2 blocks and explore it and know the music, art, dress, languages, foods and many other things is to be part of it and to say, yes I live on this wonderful planet. And this channel I hope is trying to do that. I love that on Villager’s Try, they have taken some wonderful people and shown them more than I have seen and that they still remain realtors in our humble and love to learn at the oldest to the youngest. We shouldn’t beat up on this guy because maybe it just takes time for him. Maybe what you have is great but there are other things that are also great and just as wonderful and even more so than what you know. I hope he doesn’t miss out on the point of the whole channel.
Pavarotti himself was not hesitant to teach, just want to put it out there. He gave free lessons to other aspiring tenors to improve their technique, resonance and diction. He was very passionate where his love of music was concerned.
That was very thoughtful. I think religion was one of the ways in which we in Europe learnt either to read and write (in order to be able to read the sacred lyrics) or to compose (for respecting God). Church was really the thing that imposed schooling on us initially. That idea of masters not passing on their knowledge is very strange to us in Europe. I think it was always considered an achievement of a master that they taught somebody to achieve more than they could themselves. Whose pupil people who achieved greatness were has always been a story for us to tell.
Don't let your culture go extinct. Don't let any culture go extinct. This idea that we need to melt into one world culture is nonsense. Our unique cultures are a treasure. They allow us to see God's world through many different lenses and perspectives, and these varied perspectives give us a fuller and truer view of reality and God's kingdom.
Hi, I would love to see a video of the same people who reacted to Wardruna in the past react to Lyfjaberg. It's a very powerful song, and the music video especially was beautifully composed. I am also interested in hearing their thoughts on the meaning behind the song.
I agree with Deedar Khoso's idea that an orchestra of his region's instrument's and music would be interesting! I would like to hear that. It is unfortunate that the only way he can get that opinion across is through this video, in which he was supposed to review a performance of opera singer Pavarotti. I agree with his lackluster review in which he ignored Pavarotti and only commented on peripheral aspects of the music. Opera is not enjoyed by most people, so why should Mr. Khoso?
The people would love it more if they knew the story behind Prince Calaf's, son of Timur, song and his love for the pretty but cruel Chinese princess Turandot (Turan dochtar)
Tim McGraw - Humble and kind. Good message and a lot of culture. Would be great for a reaction video. I'd love to see what they think of it. His message is worldwide and universal. Easily understood by anyone.
I am a big fan of Ravi Shankir who is sadlly no longer with is. I could listen to the sitar all day. I met him once in a zoo of all places. A meeting that will stay forever.
Who would dare call Mr. Pavarotti crazy !!!! they would have to be barbarians. This man was admired & loved throughout the world. How dare they say such a thing.
Interesting though how he isn't emotionally moved by Pavarotti's voice. I find it impossible not to cry when listening to it. Must be a cultural thing.
A bit off topic, but i would love for you to show the tribals two or three clips of interviews from Bob Marley. I think it will be very interesting to compare what they think of his substance consumption and lifestyle (most muslims being against it) vs what he says and feels, as his philosophy is very inline with theirs, spreading love and peace. Much respect and love from Portugal!
Merci for this vidéo. I am very interested à out the analyse of this man who puts his analytique intelligence in front before émotions. It is strange for me. Because when i listen to this song, this melody, sang by Pavarotti, and the beautifull harmonie with orchestra and choir, I only feel émotions. Merci Margot
WOW! This gentleman sure does invest his emotional and psychological baggage into his occupation!! The stuff he says is just untrue! I grew up in the Mideast, and I was taught by classical music professors and teachers!! What on earth is he talking about?!!
While 'The Three Tenors' was a thing, a collab, to be specific, it's completely wrong to say that it was the group of Pavarotti. But they were considered to be the best three, and thus became the three tenors, fairly late in their respective careers. I think the collab started back in the 90's, but don't quote me on that. But they all had quite successful careers as independent solo tenors for years, if not decades before that, especially Luciano Pavarotti, being the most famous of the three, at least in terms of mainstream fame, until the collab started, with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, being the other two joining, forming an elite trio of tenors. So while technically being a group, a trio to be precise, they all had careers before the collaboration started, and outside their joined performances as well. Think about it like this: If Placido Domingo performs together with Eurythmics, doesn't mean that he's then part of that group. It just means that they worked together. And Eurythmics AND Placido Domingo are both well known artists in their own right, so lumping them together as a permanent thing like that, takes away from their independent achievements a little bit. But in the case of the three tenors, you can't deny the fact that it's something extra special happening when the three performed together, on and off, until Luciano Pavarotti passed away. And Bob Dylan also did a similar thing, when he became one of the Traveling Wilbury's, a fictitious family named group, where all members "took" the Wilbury surname, despite being well established stars of pop and rock, dating back to the days of Elvis Presley. And it had Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne of ELO, and many others, like the before mentioned Bob Dylan. But although technically being the truth, they're only a group when performing together, and themself as an artist or band, when they're performing outside of the (super) collab group.
What a lovely, considered and thoughtful man Mr Khoso is. Another sensitive interview from Adnan. Great work.
I can literally feel something open in my chest when I hear this piece. Just spectacular.
I get goose bumps all over my body. Premature babies do 50% better if this kind of music is played to them especially Mozart.
In a former life I was a classically trained baritone... oh, how I envied the tenors! Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma never fails to make me cry, even now. It is truly one of the greatest musical performances ever.

Makes me cry every time 😢 I’m so happy I saw him perform live, sitting in an awesome seat, in a great theatre! He performed with no microphone!! ❤
Sir is very right that the conductor is giving his instructions to the orchestra. But the conductor does not give instructions to Pavarotti. The conductor takes his instructions from Pavorotti and conveys them to the orchestra. That is why the conductor watches Pavarotti so closely. He takes his cues from Pavarotti. You see that Pavarotti does not watch the conductor, the conductor watches Pavarotti.

We miss out on a lot when we try to gather our own culture to our chests and not share it OR take the time to listen to others.
I'd LOVE to hear some music from the 'Tribes'!
So glad I came across this channel. I don't have much But I am going to 'buy you a coffee"!
Chills the entire time.. no one can compare to that man.
Much love!
He was one of the greats❤
Thank you from Australia dear friends.
I would love to see the performance that Mr Deedar is talking about. Maybe it can happen.
There are TH-cams of those performers, and although different, they too are utterly amazing.
Just glorious . It raises me up so high .
Such beautiful and soulful comments from Deedar Khoso, Alhamdulillah
.. this man kept talking only about the musicians .. like the GENERAL in front of them was average of subpar .. Pavarotti was a TITAN and will never be forgotten nor surpassed !
God that man had an amazing voice, and he sung with such passion. It really is an amazing performance.
Would love to see you show this to younger children, not only to get their reaction, but to see how it inspires them to get into music.
I do hope that an orchestra such as the one he proposed at the end comes to fruition. It would be wonderful.
This guy knows. Good brains are universal, they transcend cultures, time, and countries.
Both Pavarotti and Jussi björling truly performed nessum dorma to pure greatness!
As a man I don't want great strength or wisdom I NEED THAT VOICE!!! OHHH TO HAVE IT!
It’s his pride that will not let him say this is the greatest singer voice he has ever heard. And he facial gestures at the very beginning of the video lets you know he had made up his mind no matter how the singer might be. Shame because this is a great singer! As for young people keeping onto traditions of old, good luck with that because with youth come new ideas and they are just not interested in the old ways with go away when the older folk do be they good or bad. Everything changes. He was in a sense rolling his eyes and it’s his right to do so but the world is bigger than his 2 blocks and explore it and know the music, art, dress, languages, foods and many other things is to be part of it and to say, yes I live on this wonderful planet. And this channel I hope is trying to do that. I love that on Villager’s Try, they have taken some wonderful people and shown them more than I have seen and that they still remain realtors in our humble and love to learn at the oldest to the youngest. We shouldn’t beat up on this guy because maybe it just takes time for him. Maybe what you have is great but there are other things that are also great and just as wonderful and even more so than what you know. I hope he doesn’t miss out on the point of the whole channel.
Beauty needs no translation. You can see Ustad's facial expressions and know he gets it.
"That's a fun" is my new favourite phrase, I'm going to use that a lot...
what a lovely man.
Pavarotti himself was not hesitant to teach, just want to put it out there. He gave free lessons to other aspiring tenors to improve their technique, resonance and diction. He was very passionate where his love of music was concerned.
That was very thoughtful. I think religion was one of the ways in which we in Europe learnt either to read and write (in order to be able to read the sacred lyrics) or to compose (for respecting God). Church was really the thing that imposed schooling on us initially.
That idea of masters not passing on their knowledge is very strange to us in Europe. I think it was always considered an achievement of a master that they taught somebody to achieve more than they could themselves. Whose pupil people who achieved greatness were has always been a story for us to tell.
I would love to hear some of your classical music.
giving an intellectual analysis of Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma as if he didn't experience anything that just occurred . 💤💤
I just cried in the kitchen as I listened to 'Nessun Dorma' and 'Pagliacci Act 1 Recitar Vesti La Giubba' and now this is on my subscription feed
I would love to hear his thoughts about Pavarotti's singing, which are strangely absent here.
Insightful guest!
Music transcends all languages, culture's and worldviews ❤
Hey he nearly smiled!
I’ve yet to hear a clearer, smoother voice in my 51 years. I challenge anyone for any culture to show such a brilliant voice.
"Pavarotti.... his group is called The Three Tenors." 😅. LMAO 🤣
😭🥴
Much appreciated
Turandot, my favorite opera. Puccini's final. No one can match Pavarotti. 😍😍😍
❤❤❤❤
Such emotion doesn't exist only in classical Itallian music but in all cultures music.
No one is like Maestro in our generations.
Predivan glas. Dat od Boga. ❤
Don't let your culture go extinct. Don't let any culture go extinct. This idea that we need to melt into one world culture is nonsense. Our unique cultures are a treasure. They allow us to see God's world through many different lenses and perspectives, and these varied perspectives give us a fuller and truer view of reality and God's kingdom.
I would love to hear an orchestra that this man mentions.
That would be awesome!
Hi, I would love to see a video of the same people who reacted to Wardruna in the past react to Lyfjaberg. It's a very powerful song, and the music video especially was beautifully composed. I am also interested in hearing their thoughts on the meaning behind the song.
Im gonna go to a concert soon, I am very excited to see it all live
Good headphones are a must have for that. But a great reaction by a reflective person.
The best version of this song was done by the greatest tenor of all time Mario Lanza 👑
"If you build it, they will come."
May I humbly suggest Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli singing Time to say goodbye,,,I guarantee the will be tears listening to them.
I agree with Deedar Khoso's idea that an orchestra of his region's instrument's and music would be interesting! I would like to hear that. It is unfortunate that the only way he can get that opinion across is through this video, in which he was supposed to review a performance of opera singer Pavarotti. I agree with his lackluster review in which he ignored Pavarotti and only commented on peripheral aspects of the music. Opera is not enjoyed by most people, so why should Mr. Khoso?
The people would love it more if they knew the story behind Prince Calaf's, son of Timur, song and his love for the pretty but cruel Chinese princess Turandot (Turan dochtar)
Tim McGraw - Humble and kind. Good message and a lot of culture. Would be great for a reaction video. I'd love to see what they think of it. His message is worldwide and universal. Easily understood by anyone.
I am a big fan of Ravi Shankir who is sadlly no longer with is. I could listen to the sitar all day. I met him once in a zoo of all places. A meeting that will stay forever.
Who would dare call Mr. Pavarotti crazy !!!! they would have to be barbarians. This man was admired & loved throughout the world. How dare they say such a thing.
Interesting though how he isn't emotionally moved by Pavarotti's voice. I find it impossible not to cry when listening to it. Must be a cultural thing.
Artists and musicians not wanting to share their techniques is wild.
A bit off topic, but i would love for you to show the tribals two or three clips of interviews from Bob Marley.
I think it will be very interesting to compare what they think of his substance consumption and lifestyle (most muslims being against it) vs what he says and feels, as his philosophy is very inline with theirs, spreading love and peace.
Much respect and love from Portugal!
Good music comes from God through us. If you are moved, you have touched the Almighty
Merci for this vidéo.
I am very interested à out the analyse of this man who puts his analytique intelligence in front before émotions.
It is strange for me.
Because when i listen to this song, this melody, sang by Pavarotti, and the beautifull harmonie with orchestra and choir,
I only feel émotions.
Merci
Margot
WOW! This gentleman sure does invest his emotional and psychological baggage into his occupation!! The stuff he says is just untrue! I grew up in the Mideast, and I was taught by classical music professors and teachers!! What on earth is he talking about?!!
pavarotti a beautiful italian name 😊
I think you might appreciate Tamino's Aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute (Zauberflote)
While 'The Three Tenors' was a thing, a collab, to be specific, it's completely wrong to say that it was the group of Pavarotti. But they were considered to be the best three, and thus became the three tenors, fairly late in their respective careers. I think the collab started back in the 90's, but don't quote me on that. But they all had quite successful careers as independent solo tenors for years, if not decades before that, especially Luciano Pavarotti, being the most famous of the three, at least in terms of mainstream fame, until the collab started, with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras, being the other two joining, forming an elite trio of tenors. So while technically being a group, a trio to be precise, they all had careers before the collaboration started, and outside their joined performances as well. Think about it like this: If Placido Domingo performs together with Eurythmics, doesn't mean that he's then part of that group. It just means that they worked together. And Eurythmics AND Placido Domingo are both well known artists in their own right, so lumping them together as a permanent thing like that, takes away from their independent achievements a little bit. But in the case of the three tenors, you can't deny the fact that it's something extra special happening when the three performed together, on and off, until Luciano Pavarotti passed away. And Bob Dylan also did a similar thing, when he became one of the Traveling Wilbury's, a fictitious family named group, where all members "took" the Wilbury surname, despite being well established stars of pop and rock, dating back to the days of Elvis Presley. And it had Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne of ELO, and many others, like the before mentioned Bob Dylan. But although technically being the truth, they're only a group when performing together, and themself as an artist or band, when they're performing outside of the (super) collab group.
