Bravo Pavarotti! This rendition of this song haunts me with its beauty and sincerity. It plays over and over again in my head and I find myself singing this song to myself. It gets me to the core. I miss live Pavarotti and his glorious voice! RIP maesto!
An orchestra of sound, literally, emanated from this great artist. When you think you've heard it all, there are still amazing surprises and gems. Long live the Maestro!
For all the claim of his ability to hit the high, towering notes, his soft pianissimo and diminuendo - the subtle, emotional moments - are just heartbreaking and unforgettable. He was extraordinary.
So moving. At every stage of is life his voice added something more, and something different. I think part of his mastery lay in being able to draw on that growing richness throughout.
operaluvr , to have met and sung for the maestro, is a wonderful thing. You were blessed to do so. I never had a chance to see him live, but he is enthralling on film and tape as a person can be. If god ever listens to misic, i know who sings for him.
I am fourteen years old. My peers listen to their precious Biebers and One Directions, but that saddens me. This is music. Music at its prime. I love this. Do not lose hope in this generation. Don't give up on us yet. There are a few who know what beauty sounds like.
I just had to give a big shout out to this posting. I noticed it was from 7 years ago. I imagine that someone with that kind of heart and great taste has flourished and continues to love this extraordinary music. Kudos and best wishes.
It's been three years, and I still have a hard time thinking of him as no longer with us. Maybe it's the timeless quality of his singing, but I watch this and feel like he's still alive.
Caro mio ben is one of the songs on the Pavarotti Forever CD and I have to hear it every day. I don't know what it means, but it's so beautiful it sounds sacred to me. And yes, magnificent is the perfect description of him. He is the MAESTRO forever!
June 2016....Had to say I have been listening to some of the new tenors.....Pavarotti forgive me!!! For pure emotion and soul you are still the Maestro!!
What will I do without Euridice, where will I go without my beloved? Euridice,God, answer! I'm pure and your faithful.What will I do without Euridice..etcoetera I haven't got aid anymore, I haven't got hope. Neither the world nor the Heaven (can help me).What will I do ...
My dear beloved, believe me at least, without you my heart languishes. Your faithful always sighs, cease, cruel, such a rigor. My dear beloved, believe me at least, without you my heart languishes.
Che faro or "What is life to me without you", Glucks choice of a castrato I find hard to take. Listen to contralto Kathleen ferrier, also in Brahms and Mahler this exceptional voice is utterly unique..you must listen!!!
Sorry, but I had to rush through that last one and never got to finish it! Dame Janet Baker sings both of these last two by Pavarotti. I truly believe that she is as great a singer as Mr. Pavarotti. She does the entire ORFEO and EURIDICE opera if one wants to hear some really magnificent singing!
The only thing i didn't like about this performance was that they were already playing the song faster than im used to and pavarotti was pushing still.
It's from "Orfeo e Erudice" or Orpheus and Euridice from mythology ...Euridice is killed by a snake at her wedding to Orpheus and is taken to the underworld. "Que faro senza Euridice" What will I do without Euridice? "Dov'e andro senza il mio ben" Where will I go without my beloved?
Everyone else sounds like they are struggling when accompanied only with the piano.....and slightly out of key and unable to reach the high notes. Well done Big Man
@ThomSleepCycle Eh it's not really that noticeable, but the where he sings "tanto rigor".....the last note sang on tanto should've been the first syllable to rigor. Just being nit-picky lol. He's still amazing!
Dudes, it's "Che farò senza Euridice". Faro = Lighthouse. Farò = will do. The title means "What will I do without Euridice", NOT "What lighthouse without Euridice" by an italian Tenor ;)
I'm sorry I was not specific. I'm refering to the tenor key of "Che faro senza Euridice" - the second aria he is singing in this clip. Where can I locate it in the key he is singing it in??
Che farò senza Euridice? Dove andrò senza il mio ben? Che faro, dove andro Che faro senza il mio ben Dove andro senza il mio ben Euridice! Euridice Oh Dio! Rispondi! Rispondi ! lo son pure il tuo fedel! Io son pure il tuo fedel il tuo fedel Che farò senza Euridice? Dove andrò senza il mio ben? Che faro, dove andro Che faro senza il mio ben Dove andro senza il mio ben Euridice, Euridice Ah! non m'avanza Più soccorso, più speranza, Né dal mondo, né dal ciel! Che farò senza Euridice? Dove andrò senza il mio ben Che faro dove andro Che faro senza il mio ben Dove andro che faro Dove andro senza il mio ben?
