well..he is performing it in a lower key so his POWERFUL voice does not crack the opera house ( Bugs Bunny Style)...so post your better versions you lesson taking throat-scarf wearing lint licker ....
@mjmjmh6 That's your opinion. Don't try to make others agree with you. I don't like Bjorling's voice for example in most of the arias he sings. His voice is not suitable for most of the arias I appreciate. So, it all a matter of taste. And I do know almost every single opera singer who has ever walked on this Earth.
I've listened to Che Gelida Manina a bunch of times before, but this is the first time that I've heard Pavarotti's version. Even though this must be my hundredth time listening to this song, this is the first time that it's actually moved me. Rest in peace, Luciano.
Yes, many times discretion is much better than valor. I sang it earlier this year & you can bet I sang it in the lower key. Sometimes the top just doesn't want to come( you can hear that in the "B" he sings) & one must deal with it. If it was good enough for Caruso/Bjoerling, etc, it should be ok for the rest of us. LP was great here.
The Wikipedia article on Concert Pitch has good information on this topic. I understand that Wikipedia is not a "reputable research resource," but I hope that my Bachelor of Music degree will at least allow me to vouch for reliable information in a Music History article.
From the early 18th century, pitch could be also controlled with the use of tuning forks (invented in 1711), although again there was variation. For example, a tuning fork associated with Handel, dating from 1740, is pitched at A = 422.5 Hz, while a later one from 1780 is pitched at A = 409 Hz, almost a semitone lower. Nonetheless, there was a tendency towards the end of the 18th century for the frequency of the A above middle C to be in the range of 400 to 450 Hz.
The poet thought himself the great Lothario until the coroner turned on the light in the room he had mistakenly entered, instantaneous explanation for the cold hand and rapt attention.
@richardvergara No. It has been lowered a half-step. Although this does not include Pavarotii, quite a few of the famed tenors of older generations could rarely sing a decent high C. The aria is lowered a half step to facilitate this difficulty, as well as in respect to the raising of concert A to 440 hz. It was once just over half a step lower (so the modern high C is the high C# of the nineteenth century).
How could anybody watching and listening to this not find it moving? Whoever gave it the thumbs down must be deaf. Absolutely sensational. Magnificent.
I've often wondered what the hell Bonynge does with his arms when he is conducting. Hard to discern proper down beats at all. Good job the orchestra is top notch!
You must not know shit about opera or singing. Maybe next tim keep your mouth shut before you out down Pav. Paul Potts is a god damn Joke and would NEVER sing in an actual opera house.
@Brachiale Luciano Pavarotti acclaimed Caruso as the Greatest Tenor,and who am I to disagree with the maestro. I`ve listened to Caruso, Gigli, and he was a wonderful tenor, Bjorling, and Lanza, but to me, none could pull the heartstrings more than the great man himself Luciano Pavarotti, he could certainly singing this aria to perfection. God Bless the the Great Man
@Willtap Yes, Pava always said the best was Caruso, but I've not ever been able to find anywhere, when anyone said he was better, that Pava disagreed! I believe, out of respect for the contributions of the "Tenors of the past", and based in his own self deprecating character, Pava would always raise the career of a great tenor of the past over his own.
Yes, this version is DEFINITELY moving. He sings with SO much passion. He is the greatest tenor ever. I agree with that 100%. I always get chills when he sings. It's always so moving. This is my favorite song by him along with Nessun Dorma. Those are my two favorites. I just love it. His music is timeless.
@threehorsez Well, I've searched quite a few different versions of Nessun Dorma by Pavarotti and my favorite one is this one: (youtubeDOTcom)watch?v=VATmgtmR5o4
This song was featured in the movie "moonstruck" with Nicholas Cage & Cher. It was a fantastic scene when Cage's character took Cher to the opera and this song played, I think it's one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.
If you already like PAVAROTTI check now THE 30 TENORS in my playlist SUPER TENOR ARIAS ( including CLAUDIO SOTELO performing ARIA DEL CIRUJANO as a world première for YOU TUBE ) and tell me which one you prefer
i will recognize this voice as long as i live. was lucky enough to hear luciano live several times. i love placido too. saw him too, a lot. can distinguish between their voices any day. i am very lucky.
I love to hear the great Tenors of the past, like Caruso, Gigli, Bjorling and so on and i enjoy the old recordings very much, but Pavarotti will be my favorite Tenor among all these great artists. He has not only a formidable legato and incomparable breathing technique, the color of his singing voice is also amazing and unique.
Is not forced at all... and my friends... this is not a High C... is a high B ... he is singing it one tone low. Just take the Piano and you will see it. Anyway... I love his technique and the voice is simply amazing... :) Is gorgeous!!
is that supposed to be a joke, a forced high C from pavarotti? that's blasphemy mate!!!
You should probably listen to "Ah! mes amis, quel jour de fête!" and hear him surmount the nine high Cs; I don't know of any other human being who could have done that.
The High C is forced....it is not very elegant? Are you deaf? Are we listening to the same mucic? Yes ok so he transposed down...that is hardly the issue...the singing is absoulutely brilliant....no matter what the notes....the balance and the resonance are dead on perfect....each note is struck at the center of its heart including the brilliant high B.....he was and always will be in a league of his own...
There is an option to transpose the passage just before the hight C, I think, and many take it. In a concert format where the singer is singing solid for quite some time, it isn't surprising that they would choose to take the transposition. He sang it with the C still in the 90's...
La verdad es que el lenguaje Italiano es demasiado rico en matices y supongo difícil su traducción al Inglés. Pero la calidad de la interpretación supera cualquier idioma. Gracias por deleitarnos con este video.
Corelli-You're also clueless as to know that 1 year before this joint recital, Pava performed La Boheme at La Scala in KEY. Instead of cherry picking things to defend MINGO (where's the Do?), try seeing the whole perspective. There is a difference between occasional transposing (after having sung an aria in key many times) versus making a career based on transposing as Domingo did.
Why? After singing it in key since 1961 he took a break if you don't mind. Further, this is a recital where he sings one aria after another (by alternating with La Stupenda in the first half). On that night (1979 Joint Recital with Sutherland), he sung more glorious top notes in one night that Domingo sung in his career (he never had a good top). Domingo NEVER sung La Boheme in key. How can you be so clueless? Don't cry for Pava Ms. Argentina, cry for Domingo!
Well..to make the long story short, I will say that Big Pava was Rodolfo himself :) While it is tough to say who was his real Mimi, I am inclined to think that his biggest, foremost and everlasting love was opera.
He gave me goosebumps when I saw him live so many times at the Met and he gives me goosebumps in his recordings also. Thank you, Maestro, for everything.
I rate a tenor by the goosebump factor. Bergonzi, Lanza, Corelli, Di Stefano, all nice boys, but sadly, no goosebumps. Pavarotti, nothing but goosebumps. So to me, he has something they do not. IT.
that's strange, because Bergonzi, Lanza, Corelli, and di Stefano all give me goosebumps. Not saying Pavarotti was a poor singer, he was spectacular no doubt.
And regarding Big Pava's high notes...in his younger years when he was "untouchable" by any stretch of the imagination, his fullvoice D5 was remarkable...yes, I said D5 not C5. Check his video clip in Rigoletto...amazing indeed.
Turridu...do a search on Goodle. I can't remember the web page, but I have seen a page where they have acoustically analyzed Big Pava's resonances. He tunes it to the 4th harmonics which makes it sound so lovely and provides incredible projection, with a remarkable ring to boot. On the page, it is said that virtually or other top tenors cannot do the 4th harmonic tuning. Big Pava's is exceptional in that regard.
I've never heard Mario Lanza, but I do love Di Stefano and of course Pav, but what I don't understand is how he sings this area a half step down I don't think it's because of the C because the rest of la bohème opera is in its regular keys
GREAT LESSON: Notice the importance of being a master RESONATOR....Pav. always tunes his high notes to the FOURTH HARMONIC as in this case....notice how brilliant the HIGH B sounds....everyone is fooled thinking its a C (which he also can tune to 4th when he sings it and also C#)!....compare to Alagna's HIGH C tuned to the THIRD HARMONIC (also Carreras and Domingos HIGH B's) they sound so much flatter......that's why he was the best>>>>>technique, technique, technique! Same for: Bjorlind, Lanza
Thank you for one of the relatively few truly intelligent comments on videos like this GEVORK6. I agree with your asessment.. Lanza is my favorite tenor, I was glad you mentioned him; his high notes are right there with Pavarotti but to me he has more fullness of voice and a more naturally beautiful tone. Sadly, it seems like modern tenors just don't have the technique of such old masters... Are the teachers worse or the students? :P
Jesus, dont say things you dont know.... He is great, ok... but have you ever heard Bjorling, Corelli, Di Stefano, De Muro, Lauri-Volpi, and all the old beasts??? Besides, he is singing half tone down....
Carreras quiso ser, en su sueño tal vez, mejor que , que osadia... que el GRAN ALFREDO KRAUS , TENOR DE TENORES. El unico que podia estar a la altura de Pavarotti es el >GRAN KRAUS
I like Pav a billion times more than Carreras, but the young Carreras had a real nice voice. The oft-viewed video of him singing Che Gelida Manina with Stratas at the Met is already passed his prime.
actually mythbusters did it a while ago search breaking glass using the voice and you'll see, its about the correct frequency followed by alot of volume, oh and the glass has to be crystal:)
Charmant!!! "...and may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest". Luciano, vous étiez le plus grand ténor de ce siècle et votre voix restera gravée à tout jamais dans nos cœurs. Merci et encore mille fois merci! Que Dieu vous bénisse et à bientôt!

I rate a tenor by the goosebump factor. Bergonzi, Lanza, Corelli, Di Stefano, all nice boys, but sadly, no goosebumps. Pavarotti, nothing but goosebumps. So to me, he has something they do not. IT.

same with me i totally agree

that's strange, because Bergonzi, Lanza, Corelli, and di Stefano all give me goosebumps. Not saying Pavarotti was a poor singer, he was spectacular no doubt.

Well, goody for you. They don't do it for it me. Only Pavarotti.
chrissy1095 3 years ago
Agreed, has to be Pavarotti to give me goosebumps.

And regarding Big Pava's high notes...in his younger years when he was "untouchable" by any stretch of the imagination, his fullvoice D5 was remarkable...yes, I said D5 not C5. Check his video clip in Rigoletto...amazing indeed.

why did he transposed the aria then?

Turridu...do a search on Goodle. I can't remember the web page, but I have seen a page where they have acoustically analyzed Big Pava's resonances. He tunes it to the 4th harmonics which makes it sound so lovely and provides incredible projection, with a remarkable ring to boot. On the page, it is said that virtually or other top tenors cannot do the 4th harmonic tuning. Big Pava's is exceptional in that regard.

I've never heard Mario Lanza, but I do love Di Stefano and of course Pav, but what I don't understand is how he sings this area a half step down I don't think it's because of the C because the rest of la bohème opera is in its regular keys

GREAT LESSON: Notice the importance of being a master RESONATOR....Pav. always tunes his high notes to the FOURTH HARMONIC as in this case....notice how brilliant the HIGH B sounds....everyone is fooled thinking its a C (which he also can tune to 4th when he sings it and also C#)!....compare to Alagna's HIGH C tuned to the THIRD HARMONIC (also Carreras and Domingos HIGH B's) they sound so much flatter......that's why he was the best>>>>>technique, technique, technique! Same for: Bjorlind, Lanza

Thank you for one of the relatively few truly intelligent comments on videos like this GEVORK6. I agree with your asessment.. Lanza is my favorite tenor, I was glad you mentioned him; his high notes are right there with Pavarotti but to me he has more fullness of voice and a more naturally beautiful tone. Sadly, it seems like modern tenors just don't have the technique of such old masters... Are the teachers worse or the students? :P

Are the teachers worse or the students? Hmmm...a little bit of both, I suppose. That and the fact that classical singing is not so popular anymore. =(
Absolutely agree with you two...Pavarotti, Lanza, and Bjorling for me have the most brilliant and breathtaking high notes.

how do you pronounce it the title of the song? Its my faverit out of all the opera I've heard.
Ellevontreeia 4 years ago 4
Che gelida manina = Kay jelida manina
"ch" is pronounced like "k" in Italian
"g" is the same sound as j in Jello
manina = ma-nee-na
And if you get a chance to see the opera, La Boheme, it's WONDERFUL.... I cry everytime I watch it - it's my favorite.

Sí, creo que Pavarotti ha sido el mejor tenor del mundo de todos los tiempos. No se lo puede comparar, porque nadie ha estado cerca.
Ha sido más que un tenor. Un iluminado.
mariadelamor21 4 years ago 2
Jesus, dont say things you dont know.... He is great, ok... but have you ever heard Bjorling, Corelli, Di Stefano, De Muro, Lauri-Volpi, and all the old beasts??? Besides, he is singing half tone down....

He was a beautiful person with a beautiful voice. He once said "A life in music is beautifully spent." I couldn't agree more.

Pavi...we love you and we miss you...now try mario lanza with the same aria...he inspired Pavarotti and "a generation of tenors"...see why.

Stupido! Carreras gave nothing!
Mediocre tenor who went from avarege to really bad!
Totally overrated because of illness (leukemia).
maxhansendk 4 years ago
I fully agree with you. Carreras's best merit is to be a leukemia survivor, but the quality of his voice is totally neglectable.

Carreras quiso ser, en su sueño tal vez, mejor que , que osadia... que el GRAN ALFREDO KRAUS , TENOR DE TENORES. El unico que podia estar a la altura de Pavarotti es el >GRAN KRAUS

I like Pav a billion times more than Carreras, but the young Carreras had a real nice voice. The oft-viewed video of him singing Che Gelida Manina with Stratas at the Met is already passed his prime.
