We met Luciano Pavarotti a few times in london. It was wonderfull. A few days after seeing and talking with him, we met him a couple of days later in an amazing moment. Walking down the Strand further up to the Royal Opera house, we came on the back, wich happend to be the backstage, large glasdoors. Looking through the doors, there he stood, in his Aida costume. He saw us, recognized us imediately and called us in, it was an unbelieveble evening for us. He shook our hands, was laughing and very relaxed, talking, also Zubin Metha stood there and came into the conversation. This is the most unforgetable happening. He had an enormous memory on people. A very warm happy personality. We should have seen him in the opera Tosca, but he was still in Australia, we made up for it a year later, with a gala concert in the ROH. Not realizing then, as we went to hear this great singer, it was attended with Prins Charles and Diana, so that was an unexpected bonus. But what a night, all his top aria's, in top condition, waving his hanckerchief in the air. It brought the house down. Thankyou so much Luciano, for your kindness, we rekindle it often.
Always came across as a lovable man, gentle, generous, kind and humble. He raised vast sums of money for charity. He was invited to sing at Princess Diana's funeral in 1997 but turned it down as he said he wouldn't be able to sing "with grief in my throat". A gorgeous voice and I don't care if there were other tenors who took on more roles or who were much better at singing in other languages. Regret never having heard him sing live. He is still bringing joy to millions nearly eleven years after his death. RIP Luciano Pavarotti.
best male voice of all time, immediately recognizable voice, magnetic personality who truly loved people and went way out of his way to do charity work, how he did it all is beyond me. I heard his daughter Christina say the same thing,
I worked for someone that was a friend of him. And he told me Pavarotti was hilarious, he could make you laugh for hours. And a great cook, very humble... the only thing he couldn't stand, was stupidity. He would lose his temper if someone wasn't focus while working with him. What I totally understand and would feel the same way
This is a great compilation.. It showed his genial and amiable personality, as well as showing his fears about performance. What a great man in every respect! Thank you.
Luciano Pavarotti was modest , kind, funny, and oh so talented! So what people if his voice cracked?? He was also human!! Oh and thank You for allowing me to spend a moment with the Maistro.
Absolutely agree.. i have goosebumps every time i hear him sing nessun dorma... it is as if he has the ability to transport you to heavens and back in just 3 minutes. God bless his soul
He was so so humble and cute, funny..Italians were so lucky to have such talents born there..I just simply love 3 italians : Valentino Rossi, Pavarotti and Eros Ramazotti! What they have done for the world remain for ever!Great feelings and great emotions!
I suppose alot of peopel must think of him at this time of year. His recordings have always been the best part of Christmas for me. thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it.
If Maestro Bonynge were to look at the situation from a singer's point of view, he would realize that recording the high notes first, on fresh vocal cords, is genius! Those fresh, reverberating high notes could then be "cut in" to produce the recording perfection we have been spoiled into expecting from Pavarotti!
The first cassette music tape I ever bought at the age of ten was nessen dorma in the year 1990, after hearing Pavarotti sing it for the Italian world cup in that year.
Ist er von uns geganen? Eine Tür voraus für seinen weiteren Weg❤Doch sobald sich youtube öffnet, ihn reden hören, seine Persönlichkeit wahr nehmen und Luciano Pavarotti singt, ist er immer noch mit ganzem❤present🎉 Allen gratulation die ihn persönlich treffen konnten, vor allem live in einem seiner Konzerte👍🏽🌻
not to mention he gave endlessly to charity. millions, and singular special favours, a mother brought in her little girl who was catatonic, she responds to no one the mother said, not me, her father, etc so we started to try different music, nothing, but then we played Pavarotti and she raised her head and smiled. pavarotti started to talk to the mother, and the little girl, hearing his voice raised her head and smiled. Pavarotti began to cry and said, all the fame, riches mean nothing but to give this little girl a moment of happiness means everything.
@mauriciomille That's from Nemorino and Adina duet scene called: "Lallarallara... Esulti pur la barbara". Before that Nemorino sings "Caro elisir! sei mio!" and then comes the duet, when Adina gets downstairs.
That is so true. Luciano pavarotti is the king of opera. He has the most beautiful golden opera voice ever. I agree with all you just said. I serverly love and miss him so much. Luciano pavarotti forever in our hearts.
that was the exactly moment of that footage I made this video for. I thought - I gotta put in youtube, it's funny, and so it became a pretty long video. :D
he was so witty and intelligent, once a young lady spilled her champagne on him, and was so distraught, he took her hands and said my dear, where I come from it is considered an honour to have a beautiful lady spill champagne on you.
The greatest honor/memory of L.P. beholding my wife's tears of joy meeting the great big master (of talent, physical size and most of all heart) in NYC tower Records, was in the shaking of his gentle hand and while grasping his upper arm, as he did same in return with a kiss on her face... with tears in my eyes/pain in my heart and soul then and as in every time I hear or think of him now. The line to meet him when on outside for many blocks, and Towers employee's were frantic to get him out of the store by any means and close, but he waved them off and would not leave that store until 2-3 AM after everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, who came to meet the beautiful soul/him and get as many album autographs, photo's taken along beside him, with handshakes, hugs, and kisses a plenty to last a lifetime of memory. This was one of the greatest outpouring's of love for others I've ever beheld, and transcended any mere musical performance, into a brotherhood of man type spiritual unity in all of us who were there. God bless his great soul for this night of all night's to remember forever!
Yes i had a similar experience in London; queued for hours to meet him. He was so gracious, signed my book, allowed me to take a picture with him. One of my most treasured memories. I was a college student.
Bonynge didn't like Pav,he is always bashing him,he never forgave Pav for leaving the world of Bel Canto and Sutherland to sing heavier roles and Concerts
Sceptic Science to bad for him, Pavarotti was the talent .. I am sure he mentioned him for years to come on his resume. That’s the problem with these uptight dicks. They work with top artists that have their own ritual and work order/flow. Respect it ..
@ILoveTobin Well mine does this every now and then. Good to know that one of the best opera tenors (rivaled only by Lanza, Blake and Flores) makes mistakes every now and then.
@HalfSharkGator You're joking, right? That's the coolest thing. You're a relative, how cool is that! Did you know him personally? Have u ever met him? If you had, you should have known how cool he was. ;)
That's high-C, he skips B, and goes to high-C from Bflat... The sound I think is okay, but he doesn't feel it right... Maybe he felt some strain on the vocal cords...
Murat Ozturk likely the voice was not yet warmed up which he was doing. It's a sound when you have phlegm on the cords or they aren't yet fresh, like early in the morning when you wake and have to clear your throat
Nagy Attila he didnt crack, sounds fine to he was sliding Bb4-B4 passaggio, fantastic is right!! if he could sing Db5 on that scale, he could sing it anytime within a aria. the overtones was the headvoice brightening up a little through small vowel modifications.
+God Sloth he was going into his passagio(the passage between tessatura) and "cracked" (lost vocal footing). usually in the passagio it is easy to go flat or sharp also

You're sooo lucky!
wow luckyyyy im so jealous
That man had a great sence of humor, cracks me up every time 😂♥️
I don't know what it is, but no matter what, he ALWAYS makes you smile ^_^. Brilliant.
He held himself to the standard of perfection; his humility is almost as impressive as his genius.
a very humble man with a powerful voice, everybody adores him, he's the people tenor, his the first tenor i ever listen. we miss you Mr. Pavarotti.

since he passed away, every day i watch a vid of him. He's the king of voice
Durante mucho tiempo, después de su muerte, no pude escucharlo....me embargaba una profunda tristeza al oírle. Pero ahora su voz me trae calma.
@@mariajoselopezbarral3364 The day he died i cried and i didnt go to college.
I do too❤
I just. Love him. He's amazing. ❤️❤️
I worked for someone that was a friend of him. And he told me Pavarotti was hilarious, he could make you laugh for hours. And a great cook, very humble... the only thing he couldn't stand, was stupidity. He would lose his temper if someone wasn't focus while working with him. What I totally understand and would feel the same way
"E lucevan le stelle" segmant was absolutely beautiful. I've never heard it before.
My mother loved opera. She dragged me to The Met every week since I was very young. I realize now that I saw the best of the best. ❤️✨
This is a great compilation.. It showed his genial and amiable personality, as well as showing his fears about performance. What a great man in every respect! Thank you.

Voice cracking is part of worming up. Worming up isn't singing, voice crack does not count
Absolutely agree.. i have goosebumps every time i hear him sing nessun dorma... it is as if he has the ability to transport you to heavens and back in just 3 minutes. God bless his soul
Maestro
Exactly, i seen that video where he got booed and i felt angry and sad of how the audience behaved
He was so so humble and cute, funny..Italians were so lucky to have such talents born there..I just simply love 3 italians : Valentino Rossi, Pavarotti and Eros Ramazotti! What they have done for the world remain for ever!Great feelings and great emotions!
A wonderful compilation of snippets which show of the great man's wonderful personality and charm. Thanks!
Wonderful man. Shame we have lost him. such a great personality also.
I suppose alot of peopel must think of him at this time of year.
His recordings have always been the best part of Christmas for me.
thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it.
From now on when my voice cracks while warming up I’m gonna say “Fantastic”. 1:36
when i warm up before a show and i have a crack i used to say to myself, "Beautiful Facundo, Beautiful"
Oh... And with what beautiful huggable inches you did thrill the world. RIP Maestro.
If Maestro Bonynge were to look at the situation from a singer's point of view, he would realize that recording the high notes first, on fresh vocal cords, is genius!

I love this wonderful man
That woman was totally right, he was so huggable
Thanks for doing this !!!!! Brava and BRAVO PAVAROTTI

He was a humble man,a beautiful man
Wonderful tribute!
Thank you for putting this together, and for all the videos.
@HalfSharkGator
As funny as it may be, he was always serious at work, never serious on stage and always very funny with people. Amazing person.
Damn he was a hunk when he was a football player 😍😉
He was a hunk quite a number of times along the way if the truth be told.
He was a hunk forever
Just love the large man pavarotti!! RIP sir
very nice piece to watch and listn to. thank you so much.
A modest and funny legend
Great tribute and well put together too.
I think the only person didn't like this video was Placido Domingo lol
LOL!!!
They were great friends. Even at the Pavarotti tribute both him and Bocelli attended the event.
A legend !!
luciano pavarotti i will always love you.
Me too!!!
Same! Miss him so much...
He will be remembered for 👍🏽

a Lovely man, miss him..
Down to earth and funny....
No one can live forever.
@mauriciomille That's from Nemorino and Adina duet scene called: "Lallarallara... Esulti pur la barbara". Before that Nemorino sings "Caro elisir! sei mio!" and then comes the duet, when Adina gets downstairs.
just lovely, he is singing. for God. He was a present given to us us by God. To enjoy his voice.
That is so true. Luciano pavarotti is the king of opera. He has the most beautiful golden opera voice ever. I agree with all you just said. I serverly love and miss him so much. Luciano pavarotti forever in our hearts.
Rachael Johnson yes. Lovely. I do not stop listening his presentations. :)
Oh! I do believe that.

Wunderschone momenten!!!
"I think so..." : )
So much humor
Self ironie
So much Fin& charm
Rip luciano
Adorable as always! and Bonynge spiteful, envious and disgusting as ever

So beautifully said it makes me want to cry.

Na minha opinião,que é subjetiva. Depois de Gigli Pavarotti foi a voz mais bonita. Entre tantas outras vozes maravilhosas.
@GameJourney yes, it cracked, but not much. His "fantastic" was just about that, he wasn't happy about it. :D
Gotta love 1:37..."Fantastic!" hehehe. Great vid thanks for posting ^_^.
Es gibt keinen mehr wie Pavarotti es,war Ich meine sein rundum Paket❤
Mi admirado tenor favorito del mundo: Luciano Pavarotti. Tu trono de oro aún sigue vacante.
My pleasure!
Bonynge didn't like Pav,he is always bashing him,he never forgave Pav for leaving the world of Bel Canto and Sutherland to sing heavier roles and Concerts
So resentful a d envious,really detestable attitude
Sceptic Science to bad for him, Pavarotti was the talent .. I am sure he mentioned him for years to come on his resume. That’s the problem with these uptight dicks.
They work with top artists that have their own ritual and work order/flow. Respect it ..
LOVE IT T.T 5/5 faved
@mauriciomille B4, the last note at 1:36 is a high C#(C#5) almost a high D actually
Why did everybody always have to bring up his weight, its so demeaning. Seemed like a wonderful guy and I'm sure he was hurt by all the fat comments.
yeah people should really mind their own bussines and understand that comments like this can be very hurtful.
It is impossible for Richard Bonynge to say anything positive about Pavarotti.
Jealousy at its best.
❤❤❤Love Pavarotti ❤️

You're joking, right? That's the coolest thing. You're a relative, how cool is that! Did you know him personally? Have u ever met him? If you had, you should have known how cool he was. ;)
The meloids that Christopher Raeburn mentioned, what would they do for Pavarotti's voice?
Where did you find this recording of "E lucevan"? I have to have it in full!
It s from act 3 in Tosca. He sang it very often in theaters around the world.
🌹😊
2019?
please tell me what is the piece called he is singing at 8:30 in the video. bascially the end. what is that from and what is that called? wow!!!!!!

Are the beginning interviews from a documentary?
That's high-C, he skips B, and goes to high-C from Bflat... The sound I think is okay, but he doesn't feel it right... Maybe he felt some strain on the vocal cords...
Murat Ozturk likely the voice was not yet warmed up which he was doing. It's a sound when you have phlegm on the cords or they aren't yet fresh, like early in the morning when you wake and have to clear your throat
And who are you to be able to criticize Pavarotti. Let's hear you do what he did 😡🤬
I don't mean this in bad taste, but did his voice give out at 1:36?
He was just vocalizing...
Pavarotti was a great man and he was very humble. Ricciarelli, Carreras and Domingo weren’t at all
He laughs like Fernando Alonso.
What happens at 1:36? it sounds a bit strange, i hear like an overtone or something, not sure.
Nagy Attila I think he cracked, the 'Fantastic!' was sarcastic I believe
same :D
Nagy Attila he didnt crack, sounds fine to he was sliding Bb4-B4 passaggio, fantastic is right!! if he could sing Db5 on that scale, he could sing it anytime within a aria. the overtones was the headvoice brightening up a little through small vowel modifications.
JustToBe Blunt It still sounds like a definite crack to me.
+God Sloth he was going into his passagio(the passage between tessatura) and "cracked" (lost vocal footing). usually in the passagio it is easy to go flat or sharp also
What song is at 7:58?
El Lucevan le stelle. Act 3 Tosca. Puccini
His eyebrows were painted later in life...
Just discovered Luciano wasn't always a fat fuck.

My life has a new meaning now.
