Luciano Pavarotti Pour Mon Ame Fille (Donizetti)

[chrondi]

Pavarotti had a monumental voice, a class in its own.

JDF is an excellent tenor still in his prime and interpretes the very same aria to absolute perfection, as if his voice was made just for that song. Please do not make comparisons!

Memorial Day today; 4 years ago he left this world. Memory eternal Grand Tenoro !

the king of kings

[mauriciomille]

what means pour mon ame?.... thanks

[zurriussII]

@mauriciomille it means "to my beloved (young lady)"

[mauriciomille]

@zurriussII thanks so much!

[zurriussII]

@mauriciomille welcome

[mauriciomille]

@zurriussII and fill?... is young?

[zurriussII]

@mauriciomille "fille" means a girl but is pronoucned as "fi"

[mauriciomille]

@zurriussII so, the song is named 'to my girl? or as you said before, 'to my beloved?', thanks dude

[JackYoony]

just for this aria, I think Juan Diego Florez can sing better than Pavarotti.

[zurriussII]

@JackYoony OK and what do you mean in "better"?

[slicer317]

@zurriussII I agree, I know the track you are going down on this. You really can't compare the two voices. You may prefer one over the other, but they both sing it to darn near perfection in their interpretations.

[JackYoony]

@zurriussII Florez sounds more stable in the high C's and has better stacatos while Pavarotti goes up to reach the C from a little below. Of course Pavarotti has great interpretation of the song. no mean to mock him. just wanted Florez to be recognized for his good skills.

[zurriussII]

@JackYoony you forgot to say "imho" :)

[mauriciomille]

@JackYoony i like both, but please dont touch the maestro

[incredulousG3]

@mauriciomille You act as if the man was a god. He had a great lyric voice. But when he made ventures into lighter rep such as this, there were clear flaws in his technique. His portamento is very noticeable. Also, he's crushing the c's. When I listen to JDF, its so easy and perfect. JDF's duke or arnold from guillaume tell don't hold a candlelight to pavarotti's.

[mauriciomille]

from min 1.01 to 1.04 and from 1.08 to 1.11 is a high B isnt???, or?...... thanks

[skykky]

who's that DEAF that dislike this unbeatable performance. Maybe too much HIGH C and that poor guy went deaf... LONG LIVE KING PAVAROTTI !!!

[mauriciomille]

@skykky completly true dude, i dont know who dislike twice, but no one above the king. I heard bocelli's version and were crithics for him, how could they dare to do that?.... I know that bocelli couldnt do what pavarotti did, but really sounds great too, dont you think???

[skykky]

@mauriciomille Honestly no one can't compare Bocelli to Pavarotti. It's not fair. Pavarotti had a natural gift uncomparable with anyone else.

[mauriciomille]

@skykky true

[1corl3on]

theres always someone who thinks hes special and dislikes it. maybe they are in the wrong area..... justin bieber channel -----> that way

[manulele87]

SOMEONE CAN POST A LIVE????

[avalokiteshivara]

@manulele87 ñ existem videos ai vivo dele cantando esta aria...

[Alan919]

qualità pessima audio per una così tale registrazione

[SapuLantai]

high c king

[gcalvet81]

J'aime beaucoup l'interprétation de Pavarotti, la diction est bonne, contrairement à Chris Merritt, comme je le regrette ce cher Luciano .

[bpicaud1]

It's not forbidden to hear Rockwwell BLAKE singing 10 top C ( 3 at the end ) instead of the 7 printed in the partition.

[rexxcarz]

I agree with zurriussll, although I've seen/heard many sing this aria and most do it superbly, NO ONE ever sang it as well as Luciano.  Especially the last C into the finish. RIP Luciano, I hope to hear you again someday, in person!

[followthehatecrewild]

i personally do not like this one, i have a way better recording of it and it sounds like his later years, the third high c sounds almost like he's cracking, very strained. although the last c is incredible.

[zurriussII]

@followthehatecrewild Well, provide me with that version you are talking about and then we'll see.

[MusicLiveFootage]

@followthehatecrewild Your wrong. Next cracking or strained.

[eradesso]

Unlike everyone else, Big Luciano slaps you in the face with his Cs.

Grazie Luciano!

[kriklun]

i have the school leaving exams tomorrow, and now, after i listened to this effortless colourfull and vibrated version...

[zurriussII]

@kriklun crossing fingers for you ;)

[kriklun]

@zurriussII thank u :D everything went fine ! :D

[zurriussII]

@kriklun lol :d

[MezzoCanto]

@kriklun : how did your exams go?

[kriklun]

@MezzoCanto they went amazing :D ... and now...im studying at the Medical college and as well on the conservatory - at the finalist of Pavarotti competition - and i am a tenor :D weiiii...

[Valkyrie91a]

The best! Pav does sing this aria better than anyone ever has. Even Donizetti could not have imagined it sung this well. Pav you sing to my soul!

[20SARANDONGA]

Un don de Dios tenía Pavarotti por instrumento vocal! Hay que dar gracias de poder tener estas grabaciones para disfrutarlas siempre!

[musicg1978]

Wow! Pavarotti in his prime.

[fedeymini]

he really is king of the high c's.

[Maceo4GOD]

Wow... Just simply amazing, what a blessing from God to the world!!

[TheBogdan2221]

I like more Rockwell Blake!

[Valkyrie91a]

I'm so happy this has been reposted, I just love the pictures. And Pav LOVED what he was doing. Greatest tenor of all time. I will always miss him.

[alfiomassimino]

Wow, I have listen to this area performed by many tenors, but no one can do it as the MAN HIMSELF, compared to him, the other tenors seem to fail, in rithem, high notes or fullenss of the voice. I love you MAN!!! This is just enchanting! GRAZIE LUCIANO, SEMPRE!

[zurriussII]

Yes. Pavarotti's voice was enjoying itself while singing.

[24yotenor]

he sounds ore labored in this clip than other recordings I've heard. He most likely was not in the best of voice for this. So this is Pavarotti on a so so day. How many people can claim to sing like this on their best?

[zurriussII]

I can't agree with you but anyway, thanks for your comment.

[clemcamby]

c'etait le ténor du siecle! he was the most incredible tenor i never heard!

[zurriussII]

totally agree with you

[yaricarol22]

Pavarotti ¡LEGENDARIO! como siempre...

[SriCrishna]

incomparable. Todos sabemos que esta voz no se repetira en el planeta entero altos bien pronunciados y bajos muy profundos y potente voz que corta.

buen aporte

[fabiancamposparedes]

toda la razón!!!!!!!
