Young Pavarotti Amazing! 

Went downhill after that.

@@peace-now you went downhill after you found out you cant sing

@@peace-now you wish you had a 1/8 of his talent shut up cunt

@@peace-now You obviously knows shit about Pavarotti and the world of classical music.

Siempre fue su momento, nadie puede igualarlo y en ese momento de joven habrá sido el mejor, que nosotros no lo hayamos conocido en ese tiempo es otra cosa.

Agreed and there is some bad content as well but you can always pass it by for beautiful gems like this one 😁, also from this you may find gems like Tom Lehrer even a full show not sure you like this it's different genre so many more 😅 nice to see others enjoying this type of music still 😁🤘

right? all the film rolls, vinyls, wax cylinders, etc. that would otherwise deteriorate with time, now can be kept forever digitally.

SI!!! ASI APRENDO CANTO CON LOS MEJORES!

Wow, he is great from the young! 😊

Indeed ! And I think it's the first time I see him that young and without his beard ! ;-) Gives a whole other dimension to his facial expressions to me !

Bravíssimo❤ Sueli

many lifetimes perhaps

Yes

I just read a very similar comment about Billy Strings. And few months ago about Shohei Ohtani. i think all three of you are absolutely right!

I switched on to maestro Lusiano Pavarotti and Joan Sutherland did their studio recording released on cd at the time

He always did, he truly loved singing.

Certainly true of Gigli as well. Effortless, or seemingly so

And yet every single utterance is done with absolute precision. He just made it look easy.

I remember studying in different schools together with Lucy. Yep it was all NAT U RAL

Maybe I am wrong, since I am no expert at all, but I've been taught that Pavarotti is a lyric singer. Opposite to him, Placido Domingo is a dramatic tenor, who acts every word he sings.

Well said!

Maybe Caruso - compareable

@@martinbrinkmann4506 Fair question. But nobody can say for sure because the fidelity of his recordings was very primitive. So there’s no way to tell what Caruso’s full tenor really sounded like beyond hearsay and critical reviews. The frequency width back then was only about 1 kHz-3 kHz on early phonograph playback devices. Edison cylinder phonographs were even narrower in Hz frequency. He died in 1921 so he never recorded with anywhere near the quality fidelity of the tube microphones, studio monitor reference and playback devices that Pavarotti had available in the mid to late 20th century.

I'd say Jussi Björling is worth mentioning amongst the greatest

@@ianPedlar Lol. Nah I’m not a singer. Read it again.

well it`s a good thing the young tenor didn`t have you to contend with.....I bet you are a good drummer & the drummer is the one who keeps the beat..... I had the great pleasure of seeing him twice life.......

And his hairline too.

Hello Dear How are you doing today?

when you see it live, it not only sounds like that, it VIBRATES your sternum. Somehow the sound wave matches the natural vibration in your own chest and you feel your chest move in sympathy. You actually FEEL this vibration when you see an opera.

Incredible voice!!!!

You don't need to be humble to give an opinion..... He was the best....

Yes, the very best for ever 💖 I heard hin for decardes Trudi from Germany 😘

@@trudix1412 once, I heard that he learned music by himself...! I think he had an incredible talent! Simply awesome!

@@manuelroblesduran5441 He relied greatly on Leone Magiera. No disrespect to him, he was great!

Сейчас таких голосов нет..Вы послушайте, как хрипят современные,,певцы, слушать противно😊😊😂😢😅

@@user-kl9lz3xg1s Jonathan Antoine

UNA VOZ ENORME I.PRECIOSA!! NUNCA LO.OI CANTAR CUANDO HERA TAN JOVEN PAVSROTI.SIEMPRE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

,как это здорово , самостоятельно /интуитивно оценить великого певца в самом начале его карьеры ! Это бесценный опыт веры в свою интуицию

You are indeed blessed. Wish I could have heard the great man live as well.

Ah, how very wonderful for you! I've loved him since I was a child. Such a child, in fact, that I determined that I'd marry him when I grew up! So, my First Love - probably since '72 or '73. As you might guess, I married someone else - hopefully my dear Luciano wasn't _too_ heartbroken when he (ahem!) heard the news!💖😉 I wept when he passed away. Wish I'd had the chance to see him...such a beautiful man with an absolutely _epic_ voice!✨

Now, THAT is a great memory and experience to have had! (It wasn't Joan Sutherland that was the other singer? I know they worked together quite a bit)

Sing blast! Bravo!

RIP? I didn't know he had died😢

Este es Pavarotti?. No es de hsce 8 años

😂with all due respect, there was once a tenor that by general consensus is considered the greatest tenor, his name? Enrico CARUSO!

29 years old in this video 😮

It was uploaded to RU-vid a few years ago. It is MUCH older. 😊​@@carmenmarela4667

Hello Barbara How are you doing today?

Yes, perhaps you might agree with me that, as sublime as his recordings are, they pale in comparison to hearing him live. I heard him just once when he sang at a birthday celebration at UCLA for Henry Mancini's 65th, and I was stupefied, no - dumbfounded at the power, sweetness and purity of his tone when singing live - it put any recording I'd heard of him to shame... even then, he resigned supreme, and if my memory is accurate, this was less than ten years before his death.

I was lucky enough to have played bassoon in the Reno Philharmonic when Pavarotti came through town twice in the 90s and early 2000s. It's right at the top of my credits list.

we give always everything to others :) love from 🇮🇹

100%

Can't agree more. Me too doesn't hear opera but of this man. His voice is doing something in our innerselves and make us cry. Love you Pavarotti ❤❤❤❤. Love from 🇮🇳

He puts all the rest to shame- the real deal.

I had to look this up: Pavarotti was born in 1935 which means he was only 29 at the time of this performance.

And never having to read music! Bravo!

What does throat engagement mean?

@@felsenruh Txs! its amazing!!

@@classicaldeb throat engagement: clenching or closing the throat while singing. People often do this in an attempt to raise volume or hit higher notes but it blocks the sound and/or causes tension and cracking. Pavarotti projects his voice while relying on his diaphragm. He was also known for having perfect pitch.

It's confidence and maturity. I love his 1978 filmed performance of Rigoletto, very playful and superb singing of this song La donna e mobile

Margaret Albertson ooh, who would guess that😂

❤❤❤❤❤

I'm only amateur, but was he better than Caruso?

​@@mwj5368you know, among the greatest there is not better or worst is only Who you think is the one that make you feel more :)

Have you listen to Mario Lanza? You would like Mario more. For me Mario Lanza is number one opera singer, next is Domingo

You have good ears!

Ditto.

@@beatricebacon7745 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He definitely has qualities most opera singers rarely have. Charisma and relatability. He made opera mainstream and for the masses. Opera was already dying back in the 50s and 60s in favor of pop and rock, he made opera fun and mainstream even just for a little bit.

God bless his memory R.I.P❤❤❤

The best tenor of all time was Enrico Caruso. Pavarotti is one dozen of so great tenors of the 20th century, along with Jussi Bjoerling, Carlo Bergonzi, Beniamino Gigli, etc.

@@johnareiter73 what is with placebo domingo?

@@boenitv4349 Placebo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed out loud!!!!! I don’t know if you wrote it like that on purpose but it’s Placido

@@1DarkBlossom oh yeah😂😂😂, automatically corrected

@@boenitv4349 nvm! It was HILARIOUS 😆

You are right!!! He did better as time whent on! He was the greatest tenor that I've ever seen! Honest, sweet and beautiful in every way!

Let us not for get that it's been 12 years since Luciano's passing!!!

@@2721milesoneoneman jesus... it feels like yesterday :( and it's already been 12 years we cannot appreciate such a gifted man😭

Agreed, well said.

So true! Love knowing that even the biggest of stars was learning and growing!.

Hello Carolyn How are you doing today?

If you want him to be your real friend, ask some priest to offer a Holy Mass for his soul. If he is still in purgatory, he will be thankful beyond imagination!

Ola M. The church did come out a few years ago and say that there is no purgatory. (My family still awaits refunds for years of paying the priests to pray relatives out of there!)

@@daphneraven9439 it's a misinterpretation of the scripture as to why some people believe in the purgatory

HULK HOGAN, WE'RE COMING FOR YOU N : Yes; that’s certainly true!

It's funny because usually they rate people with almost no recordings that exist now. However, his popularity may make people like you consider him the greatest, it's debatable. So I would say he's definitely top 5.

@@Gulliver011mind listing your top 5? I’m intrigued.

@@moofaloof1 No Order: -Beniamino Gigli -Caruso -Mirella Freni -Jussi Bjorling -Pavarotti Honorable mentions: -Franco corelli -Callas -Giuseppe Di Stefano Honestly, after more thinking, it's really difficult and somehow relevant to each person's taste. I left many great performers. Ranking (Performers) is difficult. Different voice ranges Tenor, Bass, Soprano, etc. And you might consider their acting sometimes.

@@Gulliver011 thanks. I'll check those out

@@moofaloof1 You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it !

Why in heaven?

gabriel Salinas What the hell? Are you seriously impliying that he belongs to hell?? If so, shame on you. He was a treasure, such a lovely and kind hearted man. If not - didn't you really know that Pavarotti sadly passed away in 2007?

@@flav2689 " I hope he's still singing happily in heaven"... why?

gabriel Salinas Because he loved singing very much. Sadly, he passed away and we can't see him anymore - at least not in this life herenon the earth. So, of course we hope that he's in heaven and happy. Because we fans care about him.

@@flav2689 thx

Phenomenal! Goosebumps, every time.

Will there ever be another of that caliber? Pavarotti was that talent that comes along, only once in a lifetime... we'll never see the likes of him again! What a privilege, to have had the opportunity to see him at the Met in the 80's! These were unforgettable experiences that will stay with me forever! I played his beautiful 'Ave Maria' at mother's funeral... she loved him too!

Apparently he did constantly 😂👌🏻

i agree

Guilty pleasure why? 😂

​​@@batifamilia6913Acredito que Jonny quis dizer que amou a ópera por causa de Luciano Pavarrotti. Eu já amava a ópera porque meu paizinho foi um amante da música clássica e principalmente da ópera...a gente dormia e acordava ao som de ópera! Mas quando surgiu Pavarotti não ouvi mais ninguém ele era tudo! O melhor! E os outros se tornaram um pouco inferiores para mim.

What's to feel guilty about? Opera isn't worthy?

Yes, I DID! He has that same smile at the end if every number! I noticed it , too!

I saw the love for his craft and the joy he had performing!

I'd smile like that too if I performed like that!

Humble! Biggest boasting mouth ever.

That last note was certainly not humble. He sang well but he had poor taste. Stretching out that last note so long just to show off was very uncomfortable and not very musical

I think it would have been interesting to hear Pavarotti sing along side Enrico Caruso.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RZNkoRb2iLQ.html&start_radio=1

I think when Mr Bonynge praises a singer then one knows that he/she must be good. He handed out The Dame Joan Sutherland Audience Prize in 2019 (BBC Cardiff Singer of The World competition) in honour of Mr Hvorostovsky and thought he was one of the best baritones he had ever heard. May they both RIP 🌷🌷🌷🌷

Exactly!👏👏👏

@@ripsnortinroy If that had happened, you would barely have heard Pavarotti! It would have been like a small voiced backing singer to Caruso's lead voice. The acoustic recording process was incredibly limited. It couldn't record frequencies above 3,000 hz, nor below 300 hz with any efficiency, as it was essentially singing into a tin horn, which through a steel needle, scratched the resultant vibrations onto a rotating wax cylinder. So consonants were completely lost, along with all the upper partials of a superb voice which gives rise to squillo & tonal punch. The lower partials of the operatic voice were also lost, which gives the voice sonority & harmonic richness. So, basses sound like baritones, baritones like tenors, tenors like teenagers, & sopranos like little girls. Caruso's voice was so powerfui & sonically opulent, that he could sound almost as if recorded electronically. However, when you hear dramatic tenors of his day through the same process, they sound veiled, thin, reedy, & lacking in squillo by comparison, & dramatic baritones sound no weightier than Caruso's tenor. Pavarotti's was a much smaller lighter voice type, with none of the ring in the upper register. Incidentally, the acoustic process was always a "live" recording, since no retakes or editing were possible as today. If the singer, or players made a mistake, the entire aria had to be recorded again from scratch. Not spliced together from 15 different takes.

That last held note is astonishing. There is not the slightest waver in power, and he looks as natural as walking down the street.

NO WHERE NEAR MARIO LANZA'S.

Hello Lisa How are you doing today?

This man was in his prime for 40 years

I agree. I think he is better at this early stage than later when seems to be less emotional with his singing.

lol me too, I think he is wearing a toupee of sorts

@@bonnie_gail I think you're wrong.

That's one of the signs that you're watching an authentic performance. They don't teach you to do that at the conservatory!

Roflmao...that comment 🤣

E o Pablo Vitar, não conta? 😂

@@rod.171 Puxa vida, que falha grave a minha...! Esse é um "talente" que atravessa os dias, meses, séculos e os anus...! 😂😂

​@@danielperroni3884kkkkkkkkkkk

I agree. Carreras always seems like he is swallowing a camel, to coin a phrase. I have a hard time listening to him because everything is so forced. But Luciano's voice is liquid gold.

Possibly because both Ferrari and Pavarotti came from the very same place, Modena....
