operaluvr , to have met and sung for the maestro, is a wonderful thing. You were blessed to do so. I never had a chance to see him live, but he is enthralling on film and tape as a person can be. If god ever listens to misic, i know who sings for him.
It's been three years, and I still have a hard time thinking of him as no longer with us. Maybe it's the timeless quality of his singing, but I watch this and feel like he's still alive.
@phantom8472 I am with you on that. I listen to him every day. I guess I am a bit of an addict. Never has there been a voice like that. The first time I ever listened to him, I thought I was having a heart attack, the pressure in my chest was so great. I realized it was what he made me feel, and now I like that feeling, and I get it every time I listen. I think he is the single exception to the notion that BIG men, heavy mean are not sexy. His voice, and his persona made him very sexy!

I was lucky enough to not only hear il Maestro many times in person, I got to sing for him as well. He was extremely kind and genuine. My husband's and my first date was to hear him perform in 1991 "Ballo in Maschera" and tears were streaming down my face towards the end. "Why are you crying?" I answered, "Because I know that one day, this incredible voice, touched by angels, will be no longer with us and it makes me very sad." Thankfully, the world got to enjoy many more years
@operaluvr I agree. Pavarotti is already a legend. You might also want to listen to countertenor Nicholas Spanos's version of Caro mio ben for comparison. It's just great too. Very beautiful. Absolutely otherwordly.

Well there is not much of an operatic tone in my voice and I am not trying to get it there. I sing with a little bit of vibrato but it is not anything like this. I might put a video up but not anytime soon. I will let you know if I do. Thanks.
este tema lo cante a capela y me aplaudieron en cambio a mi amigo krauss2108 lo votaron por que ni la letra se sabia pura finta :P ya te dije dedicate a la guitarra
So moving. At every stage of is life his voice added something more, and something different. I think part of his mastery lay in being able to draw on that growing richness throughout.
I love this man, I wish I had really listened to him while he was still alive. This is the one thing that sucks about being young, you can't go see these people perform anymore. Such great talent. Kids should learn about him.
I would like to know why you find it hard to take to use a castrato to sing this aria. I find it even more sad, because it sounds so beautiful sung by such a person+they too have feelings of love and loss.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i've got a friend who looks just like luciano and to me sings even better. his tenor is super golden. the only difference is he doesnt keep the hairs on the face.if not all other things are in resemblance to luciano
This was recorded about the only time I heard Pav in person, also in recital. The voice then was shiningly beautiful, and he used it with complete assurance--
at 6.25 mins Pavarotti is supporting the note and has such a build up of Point, that the Blood is flowing freely to the head cavity. the resonant frequency of the Music Sound that he is singing is in a CRESCENDO. No he has not run out of breathe LOL
@MrNicholasCatianis Pavarotti cood sing all kind of opera roles. From Arturo (Puritani) to Canio (Pagliaccio). Juan Diego Flores cant do this. His voice is great but he will not fith roles that need big sound and dramatic sound.
@dilvishselar your so stupid..even tought pavarotti is dead many singer can sing bel canto..so dont be stupid and and try to research other tenors..for example juan diego flores sing bel canto and rolando villazon... try not to be stupid ok??
The only thing i didn't like about this performance was that they were already playing the song faster than im used to and pavarotti was pushing still.
I saw him live a number of times, including his peak years in the early '70s. At the time I was just an 19th-20th century opera fan, and remember being surprised at how much I enjoyed these old songs. Pavarotti did not have a huge voice, and I actually think he was better at this more intimate repertoire. He conveyed the feeling brilliantly.
Mezzos probably get ticked hearing a tenor sing Che Faro, since it was actually written for the mezzo voice.
you are wrong. the role was first written for a male alto (castrato), then in the paris version for a tenor. only later it was usually sung by a woman. it makes sense that a man sings the role of orpheus!
I didn't know that. However, breeches roles are not unusual in opera, or, for that matter, on the stage. In Shakespeare's time, all the female roles were played by boys, since it was illegal for women to act.
I'm sorry I was not specific. I'm refering to the tenor key of "Che faro senza Euridice" - the second aria he is singing in this clip. Where can I locate it in the key he is singing it in??
i love very much the song che faro senza euridice, from the first time i heard it, because along with such beautiful song, luciano sung it so beautifully, so touching, and very emotional. just beautiful.
Wow, basso profundo. There is nothing wrong with that at all. If you use your voice right, you can be equally or more beautiful than any tenor. One of my mom's friends who's a bass-baritone won the singing prize in our city over all of the tenors and baritones. Just keep working hard, and one day we will all be watching you sing on stage, too. :)
P.S. Basso profundo is also be a fun voice to own especially at 14, see Don LaFontaine's biography on Youtube.
Ripose` in Pacem! Maestro! Thank you for your beautiful God-Given talent and exhuberant joy and energy with which you shared it with the rest of us. Gratti!
My soon-to-be 11-year-old vocal student really loves the first song. He's from Indonesia and has a really wonderful counter-tenor voice (of course; he's only 11, he won't become a tenor or lower till he's around 14 or so!)
As for the second song, I always thought it was written for a counter-tenor or a contralto, how come here it's sung by a tenor?
There is a reason why almost every clasically trained singer has a soft spot for this aria...it is generally the first piece you are put on by your voice coach...I love this piece...and I can see, so did he
I agree with you partly. I'm a voice coach myself, I am also a tenor, I ought to know. It's really a beautiful piece; "Che faro' senz'Euridice, dove andro' senza il mio ben..." However that isn't really the first piece I usually put on to my students; usually I'd start with "La donna e' mobile", "La fleur que tu m'avais jetee", "The music of the night" or "Nessun dorma".
However I believe that the piece was actually written by Gluck for a countertenor or a contralto originally, and not a tenor?
Wow...you start your kids of big...I like the Caro cos it's nothing more than a downwards scale most of the time. I usually dont let my kids touch the big stuff for at least a year or two...depending on their progression. lol...all my students are my kids...even if they older than me.
Not sure who it was written for, but there are many pieces like that. Eg. O del mio dolche ardor was originally written for castrati...lol
Well for one thing, I was only 5 when I first saw the Three Tenors in concert in Rome 1990 (on TV, of course)... in fact, one of them, Jose Carreras, sang his first recital as a counter-tenor when he was 7, and did his first role at age 11. So I wouldn't really put any age limit there, though I didn't begin my training till I was 20...
Your students are all kids? And older than you? I'm afraid I don't really understand...
lol...I call them kids...lol. I am not talking about age...talking about training...u cant expect a person who can barely hit a c above middle c to sing anythin big...why I start them off on the caro. It's for beginners. I usually just take beginners.
Oh... so "kids" in this context means "beginners"! Alamak, you ah... never mind, I do have a student who's a little... tone deaf, and we haven't even started learning proper classical arias yet, though I have taught him how to sing the simple three-note refrain "Daylight come and we wanna go home" from a Harry Belafonte song (that was the most he can go in tune then). I know, a lot of technique is needed to produce a good tone...
lol...perfect pitch comes from perfect technique...lol...or that's what I preach to my kids :P. Ha ha...I tend to use arias and songs shamelessly as technique exercises. :)
lol...old Gluck would turn in his grave if he heard some of the things some of my students managed to do with his work in their quest towards technique :P
Interesting... I myself had to go through a lot to reach my current tessitura... I actually began as a baritone, and sang such arias as "La ci darem la mano"... until one day when one teacher heard it, he told me that I was a tenor, and asked if I knew any tenor arias. I sight-read "The music of the night", and then went on to learn more tenor arias like "Una furtiva lagrima" from this same teacher. Since then I have always been singing as a tenor. And how about you? You're a tenor too?
My reasoning behind using songs and arias are that that is what they want to sing...arias and such. So use that to teach them technique...helps to keep them interested.
Also, I have found a person can be perfect on an exercise, but the moment u put them on a piece they forget everything...so I kinda do both...exercises and then pieces.
pavarotti was incredible i feel in this video he doesnet get into the song until after the first minute you dont SEE any feeling. this song is incredibly easy for him so that is probably why. In any case it is BEAUTIFUL
Simply incredible. The power and control his voice is amazing. He will be missed. The world has lost a treasure. His voice and music will live on forever.
What will I do without Euridice, where will I go without my beloved? Euridice,God, answer! I'm pure and your faithful.What will I do without Euridice..etcoetera I haven't got aid anymore, I haven't got hope. Neither the world nor the Heaven (can help me).What will I do ...
My dear beloved, believe me at least, without you my heart languishes. Your faithful always sighs, cease, cruel, such a rigor. My dear beloved, believe me at least, without you my heart languishes.
It wasn't until tonight that I found the translation of the lyrics. "My dear beloved, believe me at least, without you my heart languishes. My faithful one, always sighs; cease, cruel one, so much punishment! My dear beloved, believe me at least, without you my heart languishes. Thanks Luciano, everytime I hear you I think of the wonderful two months I spent in Puerto Rico.
Caro mio ben is one of the songs on the Pavarotti Forever CD and I have to hear it every day. I don't know what it means, but it's so beautiful it sounds sacred to me. And yes, magnificent is the perfect description of him. He is the MAESTRO forever!
I like that even pavarotti isn't perfect at singing. He messed up the "tanto rigor" but it still sounds excellent :)

It is not just the voice. Pavarotti sang with love, with real feeling. Pavarotti sang with his whole being - soul, and body.
Te amo, Pavarotti.

As a vocal coach I hope you're not using Carreras, Domingo, or Villazon as role models for your students! That is all I will say.

My soon-to-be 11-year-old vocal student really loves the first song. He's from Indonesia and has a really wonderful counter-tenor voice (of course; he's only 11, he won't become a tenor or lower till he's around 14 or so!)
As for the second song, I always thought it was written for a counter-tenor or a contralto, how come here it's sung by a tenor?

On one hand... absolutely breathtaking. On the other... *sigh* I have so much work to do.

There is a reason why almost every clasically trained singer has a soft spot for this aria...it is generally the first piece you are put on by your voice coach...I love this piece...and I can see, so did he
vmt12121984 3 years ago
I agree with you partly. I'm a voice coach myself, I am also a tenor, I ought to know. It's really a beautiful piece; "Che faro' senz'Euridice, dove andro' senza il mio ben..." However that isn't really the first piece I usually put on to my students; usually I'd start with "La donna e' mobile", "La fleur que tu m'avais jetee", "The music of the night" or "Nessun dorma".
However I believe that the piece was actually written by Gluck for a countertenor or a contralto originally, and not a tenor?

Wow...you start your kids of big...I like the Caro cos it's nothing more than a downwards scale most of the time. I usually dont let my kids touch the big stuff for at least a year or two...depending on their progression. lol...all my students are my kids...even if they older than me.
Not sure who it was written for, but there are many pieces like that. Eg. O del mio dolche ardor was originally written for castrati...lol
vmt12121984 3 years ago
Well for one thing, I was only 5 when I first saw the Three Tenors in concert in Rome 1990 (on TV, of course)... in fact, one of them, Jose Carreras, sang his first recital as a counter-tenor when he was 7, and did his first role at age 11. So I wouldn't really put any age limit there, though I didn't begin my training till I was 20...
Your students are all kids? And older than you? I'm afraid I don't really understand...
jose2carreras 3 years ago
lol...I call them kids...lol. I am not talking about age...talking about training...u cant expect a person who can barely hit a c above middle c to sing anythin big...why I start them off on the caro. It's for beginners. I usually just take beginners.
vmt12121984 3 years ago
Oh... so "kids" in this context means "beginners"! Alamak, you ah... never mind, I do have a student who's a little... tone deaf, and we haven't even started learning proper classical arias yet, though I have taught him how to sing the simple three-note refrain "Daylight come and we wanna go home" from a Harry Belafonte song (that was the most he can go in tune then). I know, a lot of technique is needed to produce a good tone...
jose2carreras 3 years ago
lol...perfect pitch comes from perfect technique...lol...or that's what I preach to my kids :P. Ha ha...I tend to use arias and songs shamelessly as technique exercises. :)
lol...old Gluck would turn in his grave if he heard some of the things some of my students managed to do with his work in their quest towards technique :P
vmt12121984 3 years ago
Interesting... I myself had to go through a lot to reach my current tessitura... I actually began as a baritone, and sang such arias as "La ci darem la mano"... until one day when one teacher heard it, he told me that I was a tenor, and asked if I knew any tenor arias. I sight-read "The music of the night", and then went on to learn more tenor arias like "Una furtiva lagrima" from this same teacher. Since then I have always been singing as a tenor. And how about you? You're a tenor too?
jose2carreras 3 years ago
Alas...no. I am a lyrical baritone.
My reasoning behind using songs and arias are that that is what they want to sing...arias and such. So use that to teach them technique...helps to keep them interested.
Also, I have found a person can be perfect on an exercise, but the moment u put them on a piece they forget everything...so I kinda do both...exercises and then pieces.

It wasn't until tonight that I found the translation of the lyrics. "My dear beloved, believe me at least, without you my heart languishes. My faithful one, always sighs; cease, cruel one, so much punishment! My dear beloved, believe me at least, without you my heart languishes. Thanks Luciano, everytime I hear you I think of the wonderful two months I spent in Puerto Rico.

Caro mio ben is one of the songs on the Pavarotti Forever CD and I have to hear it every day. I don't know what it means, but it's so beautiful it sounds sacred to me. And yes, magnificent is the perfect description of him. He is the MAESTRO forever!
