Pavarotti - Mattinata (Central Park Concert)

[BERNARDOANUK]

El mejor tenor de todos los tiempos.

[elixir1349]

Pavarotti è il brutto tenore del mondo. Un dilettante.

[1stmaxvinus]

Il Primo Super Mario!

1 person must change the setting of his/her mouse/touch screen, obviously.

[mariaantonieta194013]

@LemoniaP Vive en Marte o está en la Luna... Magnífica interpretación de Pavarotti.

[Eiswirth1]

So beautiful; another memorable performance form the greatest tenor in recent history. Also, check out Sutherland's version (an old b&w tape): it's interesting to hear a soprano sing this. And it's magnificent!

[LEONCODAJJ]

MATTINATTA Canción compuesta en 1904 por RUGGERO LEONCAVALLO para que la cantara CARUSO LETRA L’aurora di bianco vestita Già l’uscio dischiude al gran sol; Di già con le rosee sue dita Carezza de’ fiori lo stuol! Commosso da un fremito arcano Intorno il creato già par; E tu non ti desti, ed invano Mi sto qui dolente a cantar. Metti anche tu la veste bianca < E schiudi l’uscio al tuo cantor! Ove non sei la luce manca; Ove tu sei nasce l’amor.

i guess i just appreciate the fact that mario lanza was an italian-american, who performed these songs "for us" and also performed american music without an italian accent, which no italian tenor ever attempted to do.

[truediabolique69]

@jgraif Why would an italian have to subdue his accent to sing american songs??? that is ridiculous. Would you try to perform an italian song without an american accent if you did not master the italian language first?? Ridiculous comment!

[jgraif]

as beautiful as his voice is, i challenge any of you to compare this performance to lanza's interpretation. in my humble opinion as a trained musician, pavarotti treats this beautiful semi-classic as a "throw away"; affording it little if any emotional input. lanza, on the other hand, sings it as if his very life depends on it. in addition, lanza's voice exudes a clarity that, in my mind, has never been equalled. at times, pavarotti sounds like he is singing through a wet rag.

[edgarpanty]

@jgraif

in my humble opinion, what could ever understand your people about music when your heavily accented english (it is called the rohtic form) quite resembles a metallic rasp, with all of your vowels tending to an innaturally inarticulate sound? I am Italian, anyway: history might not side for my country in these present harsh times, but I believe we still are left with the simple elegance of our sounds, the unattainable smoothness of 3 thousand years of history.

[Adrelinen]

@edgarpanty please restrain yourself from random racism

You don't even know where he's from (yes he may have named a country, but people lie)

So y'know don't be insulting the peoples

[experzen]

very nice

Era un dios entre nosotros.

[Eiswirth1]

Classic Pavarotti: what a beautiful voice! For a soprano's take on this great song listen to Joan Sutherland's version; it's the black and white clip on the right. These are my two favorite versions sung by my two favorite singers, who will never be equalled.

[hispaniol]

bello, bellissimo...ci manchi Luciano..assai tanto e anche di piu'...

[junkiesgirl]

@hispaniol, hai ragione!

[citi9870]

Unique Mr Pavarotti. Bravisimo!

[misscarlett80]

eccellente!

[libetta]

the conductor is particularly wonderful!

[jgraif]

@libetta and he is depending completely upon reading the score on his music stand and injecting NO emotion. he could have suggested obtaining the beautiful arrangement used in lanza's recording. why not? pavarotti certainly had enough "juice" to get bmg to release it and he consistently cited lanza as an inspiration. why not recognize and memorialize that great performance?

[martindogo]

magnifico!!!!,ke puresa de exprecion y eso devido a la gran tecnica,ke maneja...

[julesatthepnderossa]

Wonderfull!!

[MentitaMetalera]
