[babystinky]

[omelodya]

..meraviglioso...

[DAVIDA1944]

The greatest tenor ever, without doubt!

[aguacun]

What is all this thing about his hair? He was Pavarotti, not Samson! Listen to him and enjoy if you can!

[aguacun]

by the way, this was fantastic!!!

[polyjr]

@aguacun I trade, any time, all my vast brown hair for half of his voice !!!!!!!!!!!!

[modenacon]

What a debate! He sang divinely, and he looked good, no matter how he has managed. I can not understand you. But if you want to know: He has hair implant can be, since it calms down now (lol)

[pavlover1]

What a face !!!!!

[pavlover1]

He ONLY wore wigs during an operatic performance. I think that is obvious. Although as he aged he dyed his hair with burnt cork. Many criticized this. He just didn't like the chemical nature of hair dye.

[alfredonicolai]

grande!!!!!!

[joecburke]

DarthHito is an idiota! No tenor sings the soft phrases like this and then follows with such power, it is the Maestro. Admittedly the recording is bad. DH, whatever the meds are, double the dosage.

[debartzen]

Su voz no es de éste mundo.

[tena2]

Si que lo es.

[DarthHito]

this is not pavarotti! it is quiet shocking when you realize it. but compare his different "una furtiva lagrima" performances. look at the form of his head, his movements, and listen to the timbre of his voice. listen how some phrases seem to sound simmilar but if you listen twice you will notice. especialy the end.

[EARROYO1]

IGNORANTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tena2]

what are you saying? of course its luciano.

[TraVoiBelle]

Listen the diction and his phrase - only Pavarotti sings like this.

Just splendid!

[DarthHito]

:( this is not pavarotti! it is a double. if you dont believe compare Pavarotis different "una furtiva lagrima" performances.

[siddharth9200]

his hair is awful here :)

but the voice masks it

[jenni4claire]

Its probably not all his own hair, anyway.

[Mooorhe]

Of course it's his own hair.

[jenni4claire]

Most of it.

[Mooorhe]

And the rest is from where? A hair transplant?

[jenni4claire]

He sometimes wore a little toupee, although apparently he did not care for it and frequently forgot it, or used it as a book mark or a coffee coaster.

I suspect it was not his own idea. Perhaps it his agent's?

[Mooorhe]

If it was his manager's idea, then that would have been pretty rich coming from him, considering that Breslin rather lacked in that department (amongst many others).

I didn't know that he actually wore the toupee, I was under the impression that it was a sort of joke amongst him and his friends, but I guess I could be wrong...

[jenni4claire]

I read about it in the obituary of the woman who made the wigs for the stage for the Met. She passed away not long ago.

Apparently he did not care much for his stage wigs, either.

But then, these stories could be made up as well.

[Mooorhe]

Well, I have a contact in Chicago (an elderly lady) who was a close friend of his, I'll ask her about toupees and wigs for confirmation.

[jenni4claire]

Also, I vaguely remember Juan Diego Florez mentioning Pav's unfortunate toupee in the context of saying in effect how little these things really matter compared to the importance of the voice - I think..

[ILoveTobin]

Why would he possibly do something like that? It's more than silly. Nobody in the audience could see the back of his head anyway. That's a made up story. And if it's not, I'm amazed, because it is what it is - it's silly to wear a toupee. I don't believe that he cared about his hair that much. I understand the wigs on opera stage, but in a concert... no. There's just no sense.

[jenni4claire]

I just thought it was one of those oddly endearing little vanities that people have, particularly if the appear on television alot. It seemed plausible enough to me:sometimes he is pretty nearly bald but for a comb-over and other times he appears to have a reasonably complete head of hair.

I'm sorry I ever mentioned it now.

I wouldn't want anyone to think the less of him for it.

[ILoveTobin]

Well, I consider it more than ridiculous. Pavarotti with a touppe...

He always had his hair pretty long, he used to sweep them over from one side to another so his head doesn't look bald. But he wasn't nearly bald. And he definitely didn't need to use a touppee. Maybe it's my silly phantasm, notion and presumtion. but wouldn't you agree?

[jenni4claire]

I don't mind either way- its a bit like his weight really.

I think it was not at all uncommon in the 70s for male actors and singers to wear toupees, and there is no shame in it if he did, surely?

It just never mattered to me: He sounds the same, with or with a toupee, which he may not ever have worn.

I didn't mean to disparage him.,

[ILoveTobin]

You didn't. In my eyes he always seem the same.

[jenni4claire]

I'm glad, but I didn't really think it would, anyway something so insignificant .

I just never thought it would be controversial.

It would be much of a muchness to me if he wore a wee cat on his head, to be honest.

[amargaedoce1]

@Mooorhe You should not even bother to hear this fabulous voice, instead of examining his hair? Shame .........Sorry for my bad english, forgive by my poor English, but I wish he were alive ...

[ILoveTobin]

siddharth9200 - and why make a remark about his hair anyway? That's stupid.

[loveluciano1]

beautiful pavarotti, bravo.
