Luciano Pavarotti - Ave Maria 1978 

Love Pavarotti, but have you ever heard Maria Callas?

​@@shayanmardanbeigi2697 I love Pavarotti but have you heard of Enrico Caruso I also like Maria Callas but have you heard of Rosa Ponselle?

Well said.

agreed, sitting here with tears streaming down my face !!

Well said. God bless.

the greatest voice ever!

No he doesn't. Lanza has the most beautiful voice in heaven.

@@Mikep487 WHY DON`T YOU GET STUFFED?

@@margaretsmith2570 You may have a point there. Thank you, I hadn't considered that. Now I must think of doing the world a favor by preserving myself for posterity's benefit taxodermically (like Roy Rogers did Trigger) or cryogenically after my demise so all can admire me throughout the coming centuries my superior physical and mental attributes. Thank you Margaret. You may have a constructive use after all.

@@Mikep487 LANZA Did not have the most beautiful voice anywhere only in your stupid BRAINBOX.

+A Cappella Trudbol (Julien Neel) Fantastic!

+A Cappella Trudbol (Julien Neel) Fantastic!

+A Cappella Trudbol (Julien Neel) Wow... I said that to myself just when I clicked this video... completely agree :)

👌😊 amen to that

+A Cappella Trudbol (Julien Neel) amen

He doesn't give me chills and I have plenty of soul.

So beautiful. Such a beautiful tribute. Yes..no one will ever sing this with the soulful passion of this man. His voice can make Angel's weep and restore the faith of those fallen.

Paul Belcastro I’m 19 an can fully agree with you this is the most simple yet powerful song I’ve listened to by Luciano himself he is my classical idol I’m moved by every word

@W HIt is a special blessing to have loving grandparents. I would trade almost anything to be able to hug my grandmother again... I'm very happy for you.

I disagree. Lanza sang it better.

@@Mikep487 I haven't heard Lanza's version of this. Do you have a link where I can listen to it?

Luciano Pavarotti. ...YOU ARE GREAT. . I can hear you still ..... RIP

YES

He's good but come on Riverboat, it wasn't THAT good.

@@Mikep487 your just jealous because he had the worlds greatest voice. so don`t go replying because i don`t want to hear what you think.

@@margaretsmith8337 Lanza's voice was more beautiful, fuller and more powerful. I pity your musical ignorance.

Speechless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just about to add a comment like yours!

That is True, So do I. He was fabulous.

Dre Konrad Ave

He's great, but he can't compare to Lanza.

@@Mikep487 BULLSHIT HE COULD OUT SING LANZA ANYTIME.

@@margaretsmith2570 I'm beginning to appreciate your comedic value. Your delusional brain is rather amusing to me. There is almost no song ever written that Pav could outsing the great Lanza at. He simply didn't have the tools for it ... that is, not compared to Mario.

@@Mikep487 I don`t give a toss what you think your talk CRAP just put a sock in it. Go to the the mario lanza site here on you tube and you`ll see what others have to say about him.

@@margaretsmith2570 They can do nothing but praise Lanza. There are those who are jealous that Mario didn't have to pay the price like other opera stars did but that's their problem. Nobody else had his combination of great looks to go along with great voice. He was even touted as the singing Clark Gable. And some say he Hollywoodizes arias but that's also jealousy. Some jackasses will never learn. Mario listened to many different genres, not only opera, though opera is what he respected most. He put in a feeling and emotion unmatched by any other tenor. He did great justice to all of the outstanding arias. Mario also could sing popular songs superbly and was the ultimate cross-over artist before the term was even invented. Pav sounds like a fish out of water in singing English songs. He also sings only for himself. He once did (or maybe I should say attempted) a duet with Celine (they had separate mics and Celine turned herself toward him to get his attention but he never even responded to her). And Pav was a bust in movies. Let's face it, he didn't have much in looks and often got so fat he looked like a beached whale. He also in his later years was too much of a no-show. To call Pav great is fine, but to say the best ever does terrible violence to the tenor operatic world.

So moving.... Schubert's Ave Maria.. Beautifully sung by the best tenor of our time.. Luciano Paverotti

His voice is a solace to me. So beautiful.

That most beautiful voice would belong to Lanza, not Pav. Pav was great, but Mario was the best!

@@Mikep487 no he was not, he never was as good as Pavarotti not ever.

@@margaretsmith2570 Lanza was better. His voice was much richer, fuller and more gorgeous.

@@Mikep487 Sounds like your in love with him?

I always thought that Mario Lanza Strained his voice to much when he sang. Pavarotti didn`t!!

The Holy Spirit - she’s moving through you! 😁

Wonderfull !

+William H. Burke, Jr. Bravo, bravo, bravo! Thousands of times... bravo!

still is

Thank you!

personne ne peut être insensible à un avenir Maria si magnifiquement chanté pour une personne chère et aimée étendue et perdue pour toujours

maxime jiaconia banewitz Oui, et celle de schubert est la meilleure.

Nope, that designation of best tenor belongs to Lanza.

@@Mikep487 IN YOUR DREAMS MAYBE? BUT NOT IN OURS. Pavarotti the greatest.

@@margaretsmith2570 I will only say that your ignorance is showing.

Then what is Lanza? Unworldly. His rendition is even better than this one.

@@Mikep487 No its not! I have heard Mario Lanza singing and he was good, but he would never have been as great as Pavarotti was.

@@margaretsmith2570 Nope, Mario was better than Pav. His voice was golden and yet with a depth, fullness and power Pav could only dream of.

Thanks, everybody. Mom FINALLY 'opened up' to me about her feelings, recently. It's been a few years I lost my first husband, at age 25, most suddenly, so I sort of know. There is no pain deeper than losing a child. David was only 40. It was his heart, and it was sudden. Mom and Dad were on vacation in Europe, when it happened (we are Canadian, except for my father. He is Irish-Canadian. The rest of us are of Irish descent). Thanks again, everyone, for your show of support--it means a lot to me. God Bless, MWL.

Our David was the 'baby' of the family.

I like your 'likes'. It does my heart good.

Please try not to compare yourself to anything that Franz Schubert could 'envision'. Please.

I was stating an opinion, based on an impression of what I heard, which opinion I remind you that I am fully entitled to. I did not compose anything, although if I had, I would be even less apologetic about it. I frankly hate it when people set themselves up a "Guardian of the Master's Works, Only What He Wrote." Inveterate purists, they cause me as a professional musician to become sick to my stomach. Please do not stand in judgment like that over the next one's opinions. Please.

Well, Pavarotti has been gone a few years now so the most you can wish for is to have a recording of his played at your funeral. I hope that you have a few more years, and myself as well. I happen to be 2 days younger than Pavarotti, or rather born 2 days after he was born, because I'm still here.
