Luciano Pavarotti sings E' la solita storia del pastore

[thehix]

I feel like he's on the verge on having a laugh after each of his lyric/entry mistakes.

[RoOodOoOloOmeg]

hahaha Pavarotti has to make something wrong to start acting dramaticly XD 1:01

[chrissy1095]

He was never booed in New York.  Never. <3

[djschlom]

lol. he sang the first verse twice!!! masterful production, wrong words

[BaritoneCan1]

As only the Maestro could do it!!!! RIP Luciano!

[sharonarnoldi]

@ILoveTobin He grew up with Leone Magiera, they never spoke English, sorry! You have a vivid imagination I will grant you that!

[avalokiteshivara]

Certo, ele estava pouco inspirado neste dia...

[caruuso]

Oops... :-)

Got his words wrong at the end, too.

[mauriciomille]

Alas is the name of her!

[TheCatcherkid]

he always had trouble remembering the words to this aria....but still beautiful

[mauriciomille]

@TheCatcherkid in wich year this aria was written by cilea?, thanks

[maxhansendk]

Pavarotti had a beutiful voice! No doubt about that! But other tenors can also sing well-remember! ;-)

In this aria I prefer Nicolai Gedda-But that is of course my oersonal preference.

Gedda was a wonderful tenor, especially in french and russian opera. Read about him and listen and you can have one more lovely tenor to listen to.

[16catire]

@maxhansendk Thers are more wonderful Tenores......but only Fritz Wunderlich can with him....

[CarloAchdjian]

...oops, that's what happens when you don't read music.

[NeoNesscom]

aaaaaah!!!!!! bello!

[Buzaglod]

I love this so much

[DasIchLiebe]

Pavarotti schlecht aussieht, sieht es krank, wirklich die Welt Rohr ein Verlust dieses großen Tenor

[JoFrSc]

Search for his studio recording of this aria with the Vienna Opera Orchestra under the baton of Nicola Rescigno. There is no video image but the singing is overwhelming and faultless - flawless.

[panosnt3]

He obviously sing magnificently. But since some people have pointed out a mistake he made, I just wanted to add that he also mixes up some of the words of the first and second verse, for instance singing "scordar" instead of "penar"/"soffrir" the second time around.

[karaoq55]

Karaoq55

Luciano! pese a la metida de pata por la linea olvidada, por lejos, segis siendo el mejor!!!!!

[andyroma72]

gustarom de donde sos?

quien sabe de lirica te confirmara que tengo la razon.el mundo ha conocido pavarotti por la publicidad por la tv por los conciertos con los tenores.una vez la lirica no era esto fenomeno mediatico era por puros entiendedores.quizas tu escuchaste solo a el pues no digas eresias

[Bigman240]

A great voice but not a great musician! That musical error at the start should have been avoided!

[smartsteve]

by that time Maestro had many health problems to deal with .

[dilvishselar]

Anybody can do such a mistake. Specialy having big health problems.

[nick1729]

you are just an idot , enjoy it

[jokerab112]

he's right. you're an idiot

[Bigman240]

and it's obvious that you're one too!

[Englishtenor2]

@Bigman240 Wow! That was surprising! A whole bar early, and how many times must he have sung this?

[Bigman240]

Finally someone who understand something! Indeed!

[acalanesman22]

It happens to everyone.

[flaviuswww]

semlicemente.......meraviglios­o

[gustarom]

publicidad???????????????, dios mio que comentario tan ignorante :S ...... , RIP Maestro de Maestros , la mejor voz de todos los tiempos

[andyroma72]

nada que ver con los mejores osea. mario del monaco,placido domingo,franco corelli

pavarotti era publicidad

[mactopolis]

For some reason..he was ill and in pain

[peladopilas]

El maestro se equivoco en 3:34 y se olvido la linea? de todos modos lo maximo de lo maximo

[InfernoDaBaka]

Yep I thought the same thing.

[ellicantropo]

jaa es verdad, pero mejor, te imaginas que si el le erra uno que es aficionado, jaaa, no te parece?? grande el gordo..unico

[30martin082007]

Pavarotti siempre grande... Lírico puro!!! BRAVO!!!

[WiseMonke]

Context of the aria:

After Baldassarre has gone off to tend the flock, Federico pulls out the letters of l'Arlesiana and contemplates them bitterly. L'Innocente, dozing off to sleep, repeats a line from the old shepherd's story about the goat, and that leads into Federico's lament.

Enrico Caruso, aged 24, was Federico in the original cast. This role was his first great success.

[WiseMonke]

Translation:

It's the familiar story of the shepherd...

The poor boy wanted to tell it,

but he fell asleep.

In sleep there is forgetfulness.

How I envy him!

[WiseMonke]

I would also like to sleep like this, to find oblivion at least in slumber! I am searching only for peace, I would like to be able to forget everything! Yet [1] every effort is in vain; before me I always have her lovely face. Peace is only [2] taken away from me! Why must I suffer so? Her, always her, speaking to my heart! [3] Fatal vision, leave me! You give me so much pain! Alas!

[WiseMonke]

What a story...

[ILoveTobin]

Hey, dudes, the note wasn't false, it was in a incorrect place. He did this piece brilliant!

[semitar6]

In some shows if Pavarotti sang a wrong note or didnt hit the correct pitch he was booed. Its a sad commentary on humanity when we cant even accept occasional human frailty in people. Pavarotti was brilliant into his late 50's. How many other vocalists can say that?

[sadi0019]

@semitar6 Domingo!

[sopranosd]

@semitar6 - right on! The whole point of a live performance is to experience something in real time, not a pre-packaged and tweaked recording. We forget that we are dealing with human beings, and even more, with musicians whose instrument is INSIDE the body, and therefore subject to every emotional or physical vagary any of us could experience. This is a very difficult job, people. Besides, everyone has a mis-step or two in his career, whether a singer or a lawyer or a bricklayer.

[NewJersey5858]

@semitar6 not many...i detest it when people laugh and mock the moments when artist's aren't their best and wholly challenge them in stepping on the major stages, nailing it every time. Good luck.

Hats off to Maestro Pavarotti. He is a one but a few diamonds.

[gh3rulz69]

@semitar6 bruce dickinson and dio. however pavarottis voice, just wow. i mean opera is amzing and though bruce, dio, and halford all have amazing operatic voices, put them next to pavarotti and they wither in comparison

[operapimp]

Although he couldn't read music very well, he was and will always be the best voice of the century. God Bless Pavarotti.

[luisenes]

es obvio q se equivoco pero a quien le importa?al contrario eso lo engrandece.

[dudedalathing07]

pavarotti is one of the greatest tenor but he certainly is not the best when it comes to technique

[ILoveTobin]

it's totally opposite. his technique was one of the best.

[golfr10under]

"dude". Pavarotti had one of the best techniques ever. he is one of the greatest because of his technique.

[Pertile23]

Technique?!?!? He was a BRILLIANT technician....in addition to the beautiful voice. He knew exactly what he was doing technically....watch his masterclass videos for a touch of insight.

[WANK83]

Oh my God, just a false note ! No need to be so affrayed ! PAV remains the BEST TENOR of all Times...

Regards from France

R.I.P. Maestro

[crazymanitaliano]

He pulled it off pretty good. Besides is Luciano Pavarotti, it couldn't be any better. RIP Maestro

[emiliano52]

I am not a Pava fan; but this is a testimony of why he was such a GREAT TENOR. He fail. He rebounded. Just a gifted human being. We all miss you, Luciano.

[pianoandpipes]

And the way he handles it is just beautiful! I love it!

[sergedesrosiers]

Happy to see that even great tenors can make mistakes too!!!

It helps me to know this....

[Querzeo]

oops...!

[misio15]

PAVAROTTI !!! SIEMPRE TE RECORDAREMOS!!! tu gran talento y la gran enseñanza que cuando uno quiere y entrego todo para obtenerlo...lo obtiene!!!

GRACIAS MAESTRO!!!

[crazymanitaliano]

For he is was and will be the best tenor ever, that little mistake is irrelevant.

[AleBro83]

@robertocresca preferisci questi di oggi ? : alvarez, licitra,villazon, vargas, cura etc etc tutti grandi musicisti e dilettanti allo sbaraglio appena aprono bocca...

[diablito265]

Maestro, no caíste en la nota "Il povero ragazzo..." Paz en la tumba Big Luciano

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

My fav tenor...the facial expression of Big Pava when he made the mistake was priceless. Very entertaining. The pulled off well in the end. LoL.

[LiZhiHao89]

exelente....!! y respecto al comentario de rob333c que cante él aver si es mejor que Pavarotti, y veremos si se merece que lo silben o no....la verdad su comentario paté0tico...esta gente que se piensa que se las sabe todas, no sabe nada y comenta para hacerse el entendido.

GRANDE MAESTRO! RIP

[PavarottiForever]

Браво!Молодец!!!!Bravi!RIP!!!!­!Best of the best!

[orlycst33]

I guess we are human beings, so the mistake is forgiven! Pavarotti was is and will always be the best.....!!!!!!

[dalferr]

Pavarotti was fantastic. I adore him.

[gonzalojosevb]

Pavarotti es mi tenor favorito, de lejos!!!!, pero esta cancion la interpreta mejor Kraus, este ultimo es soberbio en el Lamento de Federico.

[WANK83]

Brilliant interpretation of this part. Bravo Maestro.

R.I.P. Luciano

[MauricioTheFirst]

The world mourns.

[MauricioTheFirst]

Le hubieras silbado por que eres un naco de baja estatura cultural.

[Dennis1900]

rob333c me gustaria verte intentar cantar como el, que como es de pensarse, no puedes.

[coreTenore]

La pequeña desconcentraciòn del comienzo no empalidece semejante perfomance.-

That little mistake, don`t shade such beatifull performance of the Maestro.

[rob333c]

Eso es lo que sabe cantar Pavarotti, pero por favor, lo suplico, que no incluya Granada en su repertorio, porque lo hace FATAL!

[jamestercero]

Dejate de joder rob333 que autoridad tienes para juzgar al Maestro.

[rob333c]

Tengo la autoridad que cada uno tenemos de opinar y a mi me parece qua Pavarotti es un gran tenor, pero que se dedique (si aún puede) lo suyo, que son las canciones napolitanas y algunas óperas, pero REITERO: atreverse a cantar Granada como lo hace, me parece una verdadera ofensa al público. Que se la aplaudan aquellos que no conocen de canto y que le llamen "maestro" los ignorantes.

[davcos22]

tenés toda la razón, pavarotti es grandioso, pero su interpretación de Granada es... bueno, no es la más brillante.

[rob333c]

Esa "pequeña desconcentración" es imperdonable en un cantante de su categoría, yo le hubiera silbado.

[davcos22]

Yo le perdono ese error del principio porque no tiene la partitura.
