Caro mio ben Credimi almen Senza di te Languisce il cor Caro mio ben Senza di te Languisce il cor Il tuo fedel So spira ognor Cessa, crudel Tanto rigor! Cessa, crudel Tanto rigor Tanto rigor!

Huge Beyoncé fan here. I grew up with opera music (especially from Pavarotti!) since my grandfather was an opera singer. After Beyoncé released "Daughter", I had to search for Pavarotti's version of "Caro mio ben". This video is perfect. It's just Pavarotti and the piano. His voice control is incredible, his voice sounds so soft and clean and the way he expresses emotions throughout his singing is untouched. I would have never expected that I might come back to a Pavarotti piece after listening to a Beyoncé song but I am very glad I did!
