One of my biggest regets, I never was in his presents. I had brain surgery and developed an obsession of listening to him. He got me through. His music was the least of his gifts. He raised millions for children of war. 💫🙏❤❤
the conductor.. conducts basically everything..every instrument..and the singing..when to come in and how load and soft. and keeps time. he has great knowledge of everything going on.
There never will be another like him! His transition from note to note, octave to octave, is as smooth as silk. This is his song - the one that is linked to him for eternity.
Your right bro how powerful was that. You can feel every word he sang through every cell of my body, he’s voice is so amazing he is once in a generation singer.
Once in a generation? Try once in a century at minimum. He died nearly 14 years ago. No one during his life as a performer was as good, and I haven't heard any tenors since his passing that even approach his abilities. Now I know we can't hear what the Tenors prior to the ability to record sounded like. That being said, I've heard enough of the ones that were big prior to his coming on the scene, the ones while he was around, and the ones since his passing. The man is easily the best in that 100 or so years. I know opinions are subjective. So I shouldn't state things so definitively. Yet to this listener's ears, Pavarotti was someone so uniquely good, it will take someone pretty damn amazing to surpass him. BTW, I apologize if I come across as confrontational in my way of commenting. It's not meant to be. I can be passionate in my way of wording things. That passion isn't in anger. I'm just trying to get across just how unique and special I think Pavarotti was.
The conductor keeps times, conveys the emotion or ‘voice’ s/he wants to hear from the orchestra, helps to regulate volume of certain instruments - louder, softer, etc. The conductor does most of the heavy lifting with the orchestra during rehearsals, but plays a big part in keeping it cohesive during the actual performance.
Powerful, as you say. But what matches the power is the control! Then, when you add in the warmth that he was capable of expressing, you have the greatest tenor of our time; and, arguably, of ALL time.
When I was in band, it was drilled into me to always keep one eye on the music and the other eye on the conductor. yes the notes and timing signature can tell you how fast or slow to play but the conductor can also tell you how he wants it to be played like not only loud but really bring it or very soft. and if you can't keep time he can do that too for you :) so he's pretty integral :)
Well, also, if you're listening to a musician 20 feet away, everything you hear from him, will be arriving at your ears delayed. The only way to keep time is either for everyone to have a clicktrack playing in headphones, or a visual queue. Since RU-vid came to be, there have been a lot of huge concerts with multiple drummers and guitarists and such. So many, that they're way too far apart to be able to all be in time merely by listening. The laws of physics throw them out of time. So they use a flashing light to mark the beat. I'm just waiting for football stadia to catch on.
forget these clichés! Pavarotti was a good tenor, but there were many better ones before him and the best tenor in history was Franco Corelli! Anyway... Happy new year to everyone!
@@elleswan1 Nel canto lirico, chi ha una certa agilità, difficilmente può avere anche la potenza. E viceversa. Pavarotti è stato un ottimo tenore con tanta voce da vendere, ma aveva anche tanti difetti. La sua vocalità è di un tenore lirico puro, tendente a tenore leggero, e non di certo a un tenore spinto come vogliono far credere in tanti, e come probabilmente voleva far credere lui stesso. Il repertorio adatto a Pavarotti è quello dell'elisir d'amore, Rigoletto, La Boheme, La Figlia del Reggimento ecc... non di certo Turandot. Per quello ti ripeto... ascoltati Franco Corelli, che è anche di gran lunga migliore di Pavarotti come tenore in generale.
You felt all of his emotions. When you said that I got over my displeasure of you interrupting the performance. I could see on your face how much you loved it. That you felt it speaks volumes about your heart and soul. Good job! I will be back. Woo hoo
So, you have no band or orchestra when you were in school. In a small band, the drummer sets the pace which the singer, guitarists, others all can hear and follow his lead in staying together, playing the song at the same pace. In a large band or orchestra, the individual musicians can not hear what the musicians on the other side or in the middle are doing, how fast or how loud they are playing. They can only hear the instruments next to them. So the conductor provides a focal point that all the musicians can see and follow. The conductor sets the pace and gives instructions throughout the piece. He makes large movements to instruct the musicians to play loudly, small movements mean softly, quietly. He indicates the musician playing a solo, using one arm and hand, by using larger movements directed to the artist, and smaller movements with the other arm and hand to signal everyone else to play quietly. Some people mistakenly think he is giving directions to Pavarotti, but he is not. The Conductor is following what Pavarotti does and passes those signals to the orchestra. A good example of this is the last two notes. The conductor does not know how long Pavarotti will be able to hold those two notes, he watches and listens to Pavarotti, and signals the orchestras to play the last note exactly when Pavarotti hits it. Even Pavarotti does not know how long he will hold those two notes, he does it as long as he possibly can. This performance is the culmination of much practice together, the orchestra is familiar with the signals the conductor is giving them, and the conductor has a feel for what Pavarotti will do.
It takes years and years of practice to be able to become a director, you must coordinate the whole orchestra and the singer by the moves of both hands, at every little movement a set of instruments will start playing; moreover, the director dictates the general rhythm as well as the general speed, intensity, etc...he is like the key keeping the whole orchestra and musical composition together, so that all components melt together and stay in sync !
I have never been part of an orchestra, but have sang in many choirs. I always focused on the sheet music, and had the motions of the conductor in my peripheral vision. If you want insight on this performance, The Charismatic Voice does an amazing job breaking it down. And Two Set Violin have spoken about the different experiences of being led by a conductor.
Hi! Yes, the conductor, the guy waving the stick in front of the orchestra, is mos'def "doing something." The orchestra is *very* attuned to the conductor's movement and an there's enormous amount of nuance and direction transmitted to the orchestra. It's almost telepathy. Here's a video of Georg Solti, one of the greatest conductors of the 20th Century, rehearsing with an orchestra. You can see how much goes into it for just a few minutes of actual performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2L85eTSWrmg.html And Pavarotti was by no means the greatest tenor in history. Jussi Bjørling was his idol and ideal, but Pavarotti was a great voice and a very great artist.... and sorely missed.
@@Gifted1k Welcome to an amazing world of beautiful music and amazing voices. I hope you can attend an actual in-person symphony or opera soon. And for a comparison, here's Franco Corelli singing "Nessun dorma:" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D8V7y8GEHo4.html Enjoy!
Yes, the conductor is just as necessary today as yesterday...just like coaches in sports or a movie director. Of course the musicians, athletes and actors can all do their thing on their own technically speaking but the conductors, coaches and directors have their own vision and bring out the best in their musicians, players and actors
the musicians absolutely follow the conductor. it is the most essencial role in any symphony and if you know how to understand "conductor" you can clearly tell what the conductor does.
None shall sleep, None shall sleep! Even you, oh Princess, In your cold room, Watch the stars, That tremble with love And with hope. But my secret is hidden within me, My name no one shall know, No... no... On your mouth, I will tell it, When the light shines. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine! (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!
He's singing should be put in a disc and sent thru all the galaxies in the Universe with a note saying/ This is what we humans on Planet Earth can do. Full stop.
Without the Director of the orchestra, the Conductor, the orchestra and choir would descend into chaos. People chiming in wherever they wish to out maneuver their section buddies or first chairs. It'd be utter madness. Music sheets flying everywhere, people getting hit with violin bows, where would it end?
If the conductor of the orchestra were not there, it would be impossible for all the instrumentalists to play accurately at the same time without any of them falling behind or ahead.
great! luciano! the best - ok so im gonna send u a link now i think u will enjoy! cuz we're regular people that love a winner ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dnp-8GrHOIk.html - paul potts - singing nessum dorma - britains got talent - one of my favs !
music reactors are expert in music...you do know that right??? cuz if that's what you think. Then i can say your comments does not belong on someone who watches reactors.... if my tittle said "music coach" or "music teacher" or anything within that line ...then maybe you can say this comment otherwise...you are in the wrong here. I'm just a music lover that is learning through the process is all.
@@Gifted1k i am sorry for my ignorance as well. But why did you ask then why they do what they do. I guess you wanted to know. I would really encourage you if you have a musical question to look it up. Don't ask your subscribers or in my case ex-subscriber (due to the disrespectful rant you just gave me). As simple as that. Google is a very handy tool. Music 101 With all due respect you sounded like a fool who disrespected music by not being prepared to react to music. (Because believe it or not the richness of a reaction includes knowledge of the performance.) Don't take my comments so seriously. It was my reaction as well. I can react too right? Hence this comment section in RU-vid. As far as classical music is concerned is important to be prepared. Is your channel. You just wrote me that you want to learn as you go. Please make it so! I want you to be successful with your channel. Learn from this experience. Your reactions will be more effective and credible. Trust me it will attract more subscribers. By the way. Pavarotti did not compose this song. This song is a very small section of a very famous Italian Opera named "Turandot' composed by Giacomo Puccini. You see how easy was that? You do not need to be a coach or a teacher to know the name title true composer and singer. This is common sense my friend.
The guy that is waving the , you know, the "thing"? I've heard that before in some of the podcasts. That is the "conductor", who controls the orchestra and the choir. Get some studying done, sir.
Buddy I don't mind reactors jumping in with comments, after all that's job. But what I do mind is when you jump in just because you like the sound of your own voice, and actually don't say anything intelligent at all. You just kept stating the bloody obvious 😴😴😴.
