My goodness. I remember approaching the Coliseum years ago this song was buzzing in my head. Of course, it was fiction, but it spoke to the grandeur of Rome on many levels to me.
This is that kind of music you listen to and don't comment about it. If you like it you listen to it and if not you just don't listen. This is not about talent and money it's about art and there are some people who don't appreciate it.
that's very good ,of course pavarotti is something else , sorry to tell you guys but Pavarotti was a maestro ,remember he recorded this song when he was 68 years old in 2003, his voice was amazing till his last days of life.
As much as I like Bocelli and the colour of his voice, he lacks quite a bit in the technique department. You may say Pavarotti was past his prime when he recorded Il Gladiatore, but to me, it's the best version out there.
How can any one compare any opera singer to a nother. Pavarotti was great yes. BUT so are these guys. They are young new and very creative in their own ways. Give them a chance for goodness sake!
Good performance. I don't know if they're brilliant singers when comparing to Pavarotti, but well, he was one of the bests. Together they sound very good and there's some interesting non-opera-like voices too. Listen Pavarotti's version also, it's brilliant!
Pavarotti was great! would have loved to hear him sing with David Phelps. i love mens voices in harmony, but you do have your favorites for certain songs. David Phelps owns O Holy Night as no other. but that's just my opinion and likes. never heard Pavarotti do this song. will have to look it up!
This is the kind of stuff i want to be doing after high school. Gonzaga is where i want to go to college and they have a program like this but not as big.
I saw them yesterday night in Baltimore and they are indeed very good. They have an amazing vocal blend. And people tenors come in ALL SHAPES AND SIZES so what's the deal of comparing them to Pavarotti?
Most of these guys from 2006 are no longer touring, including Steven Baker on piano. Hopefully you will like the new gang. ??Power?? guess we'll see. The CD version of this is good. :)
I have heard both Pavarotti's version and the TTT. I have to say that they are equally as great. However, think about this, it takes TEN Tenors to match ONE Pavarotti.
Une mention spéciale pour Russell Watson qui en à donné une belle version bien qu'un peu "forcée", pour le reste, l'idée de faire des prestations à dix, vingt ou plus, n'apporte pas vraiment grand chose, sinon un léger côté "spectaculaire" qui s'apparente à une tentative de vouloir nous rejouer le coup des "trois ténors", avec à la clé, un désir de faire un coup !....
Hmmm...10 seems a little overkill for this masterful solo piece. The soloist in the middle to the beginning-end was superior in tone, quality and delivery. I wish he had continued to finish out the piece instead of muddy those last beautiful phrases with 10. It was an excellent performance, but I would have made a couple of different decisions with the vocal roles.
Chryste i co z tego? ważne że chcom śpiewać, że im sie to podobo i że to ich pasja. a pavarotti był jedyn tak jak mozart i lady gaga... oni tyż są jedyni w swoim rodzaju, jak kożdy na świecie.
schön interpretiert, aber Pavarotti ist the best! kein Vergleich! tut leid.Was Pavarotti singt, darf Niemand mehr versuchen zu singen. Bitte! Es geht nicht
Best version of this ever recorded is not Pavarotti, I'm sorry to say. His voice wasn't what it was when he recorded the song. And Russell Watson is mediocre at best like these guys. The best ever version is Andrea Bocelli. He's a class act.
to have a tenor voice doesnt make u a good singer serious this is a joke I dont care who likes them... this is a joke voices without power and beauty are they all tenors? yes... so what? we all have one type voice... right? this ppl are not very good, lack of thecnique ... big time on that... if I am making money singing and if I dont do a a great job... why not get a couch? Pavarotti one time said... a great singer is always an student
