LUCIANO PAVAROTTI - RONDINE AL NIDO

[randalwax]

gorgeous voice but i don't feel the emotion. as a crude example of how this lovely melody can be sung (and i do not mean to offend any opera purists out there), listen to popera singer little robertino loretti's version on youtbe and let me know what you think. and don't be a hater! :) ps if you need to hear a true virtuoso sing this with feeling, there is a divine gigli version on youtube

@randalwax

And I bet you think the Mona Lisa needs a mustache

[RavenBaron]

@randalwax Don't know anything about this kind of music and don't speak Italian, but knew first time hearing his version, that the song is about lost love.

You don't have to understand the words to know that, you can hear it in his delivery his, every word.

This song is all emotion and he does it perfect, don't know how to describe it other than he makes me "feel".

[BansheeVomit]

@randalwax I'm going to side with randalwax on this one. I think Pavarotti's rendition is indeed crude and even sensationalistic -- the Harlequin Romance Novel interpretation. Blasphemy, I know, but come on, people -- he's about as nuanced here as a two-year-old throwing a temper tantrum. I would cite Agostino Castagnola's rendition as an emotionally honest evocation of what I believe Vincenzo de Crescenzo was aiming for, as opposed to this fingernails-on-a-blackboard misfire.

5 ppl need to be kneecapped!

[SuperFirewire1]

please see my video of mario fusco singing the same song and tell me what you think. mario fusco was the greatest opera singer in the world that no one ever heard of!!!!!!

[MrBrillare]

ma che bella!

[SalMessina1]

Caro Luciano R.I.P.

[acitipo]

Esta cancion bellisima la hace llena de sentimiento y melancolia Luciano de manera insuperable!!!

[GeneralG1810]

I cant believe theyve never made a film about this man, especially with John Rhys Davies around. I mean cmon he's a dead ringer minus the voice of course.

[31122051]

SUBLIME !!! 

[mauriciomille]

in 1920 was written and compossed this song

[mauriciomille]

@nicolasfurrikane thanks, what whats that mean?

[mauriciomille]

is 'ma non torna piú', and he said eh non torn di piú' or something like that isnt?, thanks

[federicoxxl]

No puedo para de llorar cada vez que escucho esta canción.

[mufiteam]

i don´t know why but this is my favourite aria, song...can you tell me why? No don´t...i don´t want to loose magic from this music, HIS delivery and my tears...

[Willzito]

@mufiteam I'm not so sure, but it isnt an aria, its a Napolitan song. Anyway its amazing =)

[ArabianSoul6]

@mufiteam

The author Vincenzo de Crescenzo was with a broken heart at the time he created this magic.

The first time I cried, was when I watched Star Trek Voyager "Virtuoso" episode.

[witness64]

wonderful!

[brunico881]

Ascoltate quella di Giuseppe Di Stefano...

Da brivido anche quella...Personalmente la preferisco all'interpretazione di Pavarotti. Questione di gusti! ;)

[MrOtello1978]

Incredibile quest'uomo, ho sentito le versioni di Di Stefano, Ramón Vargas, Richard Tucker, Gianni Poggi, Beniamino Gigli......Potete dimenticarvi questo é cantare, Pavarotti ha ricomposto questo pezzo dal primo momento che lo prese in gola,

MAMMA MIA CHE TENOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!

RIPOSI IN PACE GRANDISSIMO MAESTRO........Speriamo in vano e non tornerai mai piú

[newwindow7]

Sei unico.. Unico del mondo.  Bravissimo!

[LivesForJihad]

LOL...the EMH did it first.

[31122051]

Questa è l'arte del CANTO. Sublime !!!

[20callenderslady]

Beautiful as ever, but was he already ill when this was recorded. The sparkle seems to have gone from his eyes.

[meenksellaan1]

Absolutely not, when you look at the quality of the video it looks like this was recorded in the 80's and he got sick in 2000, 2001....

[Hjadlowker]

@20callenderslady Oh, no! He was in splendid form. I can tell you: I was there!

[20callenderslady]

@Hjadlowker Lucky you... and glad to hear he was in fine form musically. Would that I had been able to hear him sing this, one of my favourite songs. Maybe he 'twinkled' a little more when he performed here in Barbados and also at the concert I attended he was newly in love. That usually adds a little extra zing to most things!

[jacksawild]

I dont like opera but Pavarotti is different.

[triptoheaveandho]

he sings my heart....

[awefaislfdas]

This is the Music of God. Beautiful beyond belief.

[leothedj]

questa canzone e veramente bellissia

giovanni oliva

[jwtaylor1898]

my favorite song to listen to when I think about my lost love..

[klokheten]

Unbelieveable rendition. Luciano at his very best.

A song that will live forever.

A voice that creates sheer magic.

[AnastasioFranco]

simply breathtaking, simply the best.

[drakman68]

Cosa dire...difronte ad una voce cosi' suprema si puo' solo ascoltare e godere di essa...Luciano vivi per sempre...grazie per cio' che ci hai regalato

Gianni The VOICE

[alvarito45]

Why do you make me cry? Perchè mi fai piangere? ¿Por qué me haces llorar? Por quoi me fais pianger? Es porque tu voz es la más grande de todos los tiempos..No tendrás igual Luciano. Bravo!!!!!!

[Paralyzer]

Lyrics Enjoy and YES its Italian..... Sotto la gronda della torre antica, Una rondine amica, Allo sbocciar del mandorlo é tornata Ritorna tutti gli anni, Sempre all stessa data, Monti e mare essa varca per tornar Solo amore, Quando fugge e va lontano, Speri in vano ma non torna più, Speri in vano ma non torna più...

[mike2223222]

A True Giant amongst mere men on earth with the capacity to move mountains and millions with his pure genius, ciao luciano, you were and will be the greatest ever !!

[Jorien1337]

[Friendlyman00]

Under the gronda of the ancient tower, a rondine friend,

To blooming of the returned almond tree é It returns every year,

Always all same date,

Mounts and sea it crosses in order to only return love,

When it escapes and it goes far away,

It hopes in space but it does not return more, Hopes in space but it does not return more

[KiwiBates]

one of the greatest opra singers who ever lived
