La Boheme Act III Quartet Bocelli Gheorghiu Lawrence Milnes Luciano Pavarotti tribute 

Very nice to see Sherrill Milnes again. His voice is a long way from what it was, unfortunately, but even so, nice to see him there to pay tribute to his old pal Luciano.

Love it.

Ive heard of all of them, fyi Corelli was a great admirer of Bocelli's and even was his mentor and close friend in case you didn't know. Bocelli regularly performs for 100s of thousands of people because he is so much more popular then most classical singers put together, which is why he will use microphones in concerts something that most opera singers don't need with their max 4,000 audience. When he sings in an opera or gives a recital like he did at the Met, he will not use a micro.

I love this. No part is awful.

For me, this is not a quartet, for me, this is a double duet.

in risposta a Gabriel 54 scusami se te lo dico hai detto bene che è la tua opinione, bocelli è bravissimo ma, quando si fa un paragone con il grande maestro pavarotti bisogna inginocchiarsi, perche a parere di tanti intenditori ancora deve nascere un'altro Luciano. Grazie Luciano per quello che ci hai dato sarai sempre nel cuore di tutti

Do you think he is great??

@MeganMarie86 And what makes you think you are?

What about 1:36 ??

I dont understand.

Honestly, if you know this music, this is not a great performance. Several times they get off from the orchestra, and Bocelli doesn't pull his weight. Not to say this is bad, but you could tell it was put together really quickly

@chrizosthemis LOL! No, he's not even on the same planet as Pavarotti.

Get a life & just enjoy two great singers

I have a feeling many of these comments are from people who are not exactly opera experts. This performance is a joke. Bocelli should not be singing next to Gheorgiu, or Puccini period.The microphone is not able all to take on all of the formants Gheorgiu sings, so instead the mic gives feedback. This is why opera singers don't sing with microphones. Those of you who think this was brilliant, are probably just swept away with Puccini's composition, not the actually performance.

That part was awful.
