Un uomo molto ambizioso, forse troppo, non è stato mai al livello dei suoi due tenori di riferimento, ossia Giuseppe Di Stefano e Beniamino Gigli.

​@@e.g.8454 Mah, non direi proprio.

He was Opera himself❤

Un uomo molto ambizioso, forse troppo.

È stato molto fortunato che non è nato quando c'erano tenori del valore di Del Monaco Corelli Tucker Di Stefano Bergonzi Kraus, a quei tempi sarebbe stato un tenore di secondo piano.

Beautiful color. He was 61 at that time. Amazing!. Unmatchable.

infatti in alcuni momenti fa fatica

probabile anche un po' di raucedine visto che soffriva di allergia

watching in 2019! Love Pavarotti !

You're right but unify these 2 big artists in a provincial reality like that of my town, FERRARA, was just an event itself....

@@SAVELOG not such a « provincial « town when it comes to Music. Abbado was at home there,as you know. So many great productions, even with Benigni, and Domingo, once. Pavarotti hailed from not too far, too.

He really should have retired by 2000, he always has and always will be my favorite tenor but by then he was becoming a character of himself. He was down to only singing Tosca at the opera house and most arias were being transposed down to accommodate his voice. Frankly had he not undertaken to add Pagliacci to his stage repertoire, I think he would have been better off. His voice wasn't meant for the role and seemed to never have quite the same brilliance after he started performing it on the regular. It was around 92...Pavarotti hit his stride for many years. Really from 1970 to the late 80s he was in a league of his own. With maybe the exception being Domingo, but then your really starting to get in that never ending "who was the greatest tenor" argument.... My opinion in pure vocal brilliance Luciano will never be surpassed, tenors aren't even taught to sing the same way anymore. As for overall staying power, vocal range, timbre and musicianship Placido Domingo is incredible.

​@@Will_DiGiorgio I agree on most things you said. But I strongly agree on what you said "tenors aren't even taught to sing the same way anymore". I'm not sure if the "old brethren of italian opera teachers" (if that even exists), was broken along the way. Or is it the fact that singers rely heavily on other resources more. Like singing with falsetto, thin singing, or not using the chest "resonance". Is a shame, I think the singers are comfortable with the way they sing today, and since Pavarotti's passing, literally, opera started dying. And audiences became comfortable on what they are being offered. And they comment on today's singers, and critique on one or another. But you bring one of the old ones into the conversation, and wipes the entire "new order" of singers away. Simple as that.

Massimiliano Collicelli What are you rambling on; Shear Perfection and Perfect Legato & trill.

No. Not sick. He was 61 years old. Not the same strenght. Rigoletto is for a young tenor. Pavarotti excelled here, though. He was unique.

@@sauronbaggins1833 I always felt that 96 was when his voice started to decline. If you consider how amazing he sounded in 93 at Central Park. Still its magnificent singing at any age and stunning for 61.

@@johndixon5122 A unique and one in a lifetime voice. For sure. He’s my hero.

He doesn’t look well, but he sounds great!

All I have are these 22 minutes. I'm sorry :(

***** Thanks Eunice,thanks anyway.You have 22 minutes but It,s glorius,Grande sempre Pavarotti.You,re very kind.Be very Happy this year.Obrigado(?)

Obrigado. Happy new year to you too!!!

The GREATEST lyric TENOR EVER LIVED.

Tecnica imprecisa? Non scherziamo.

@@MrPren Le sbavature e le defaillance dovute ad errori di appoggio dei fiati specie nella seconda parte della carriera non si contano,soprattutto nel registro acuto ch'era quello a lui più congeniale.La tecnica sopraffina di un Kraus era lontana anni luce...

@@quandolamusicaeramagia6471 non sono assolutamente d'accordo. Questo mito di Kraus "maestrino" di tecnica è un luogo comune che va sfatato. Se confrontiamo le esibizioni di Pavarotti e di Kraus alla stessa età, il primo ha una voce fermissima, solida e omogenea; il secondo, col passare del tempo, ha una voce sempre più spiacevole, disomogenea e spinta, specialmente negli acuti.

@@MrPren Non si può essere d'accordo per forza,ognuno ha il suo punto di vista,io rispetto il suo.Tengo solo a precisare che sono maestro di canto e tenore,da 30 anni,quindi penso di avere facoltà di giudizio tecnico

@@quandolamusicaeramagia6471 anche io sono tenore. Studio canto da quando avevo 16 anni, ora vado per i 52. In ogni caso si può avere un pensiero "critico" anche indipendentemente dai "titoli"...

Ok, bye.

@@Gedakt8 Perdón si le molesté. Su voz es maravillosa, pero su canto muy anárquico. Como timbre el más bello q he escuchado.

@@jesusmunoz2400 Son músculos de una persona de 61 años. No de 31.

@@sauronbaggins1833 Tenores con más edad cantaban papeles de sus inicios sin bajar partituras como hacían muchos incluido Pavarotti.

@@sauronbaggins1833 El declive de Pavarotti comenzó en los 90 y se fué acrecentando cada vez más.

A me non piace neanche Pavarotti, io preferisco Gigli Corelli Del Monaco Bjorling Di Stefano Pertile..tenori veri.

Por favor...
