People who assume that Carreras is not showing any signs of grief probably don't know that this is just the way he is: he is very reserved, and is not the type who would openly show his true feelings. But I am sure he's holding a lot of grief and pain inside that he's afraid to let out, and this is how he deals with events like Pavarotti's death. If you ever ask him how he felt during this interview, chances are he'll say he was grieving on the inside.
I already knew Pavarotti was going to die when I found out he was seriously ill the day before. So I was prepared for what was going to happen. His death was not a shock, but I still cried pretty hard. Why must awful things like cancer happen to awesome people like Pavarotti? <:(
Okay, yes, the things he's saying seem to be trivial, but that's what made it a close relationship. Anyone, all of us, can say we miss the loss of his talent and voice, many performers and musicians can say they miss working with him, but only his close friends and family can say they miss his bread and his presence at the poker table...
actually of the interviews of the three tenors, the one who anyone would think to be the least intellectual -Luciano- was after all then one who had the most interesting things to say... and the most records to sell... lol ...coincidence? I do not think so!
"Entertaining in the gastronomic aspect." His reaction is kinda like Paul's reaction when John Lennon died. "I haven't got much to say about him. Leave me alone."
I wasn't meaning to suggest that Pavarotti's death didn't mean something personal to all his other friends and fans, because it was obviously deeply upsetting to them all; only that i think carreras was mentioning things that he personaly remembered that others may not. I won't say more in case i get it wrong. I'm off to watch a few vids before bed. Stay happy.
@maxthecat14 Right. People have their own unique memories of loved ones. I already know about Pavarotti being a good poker player; he and Carreras, along with a few other friends, played poker on several occasions.
31 operafan ....you are right about expressing grief differently. I think people often remember little things that are personal just to them, that others may see as trivial.
@maxthecat14 That's true. Actually, this wasn't just personal to him. Placido Domingo was affected in the same way by Pavarotti's death. And millions of Pavarotti's other friends.
There is no right or wrong way to show grief. And I did note a bit of sadness in his voice; most people who are sad will talk in a monotonous tone of voice. And he didn't look happy either. People express grief in many ways. Some, like Carreras, are reserved, and others, like Placido Domingo, are not ashamed to "let it out" (I've seen him cry a few times).
OK, his voice did sound a litle monotonous. But that does not mean it matches his true feelings. I'm pretty damn sure that deep down, he was wracked with grief. You can tell from how he slips on some of his words and he paused at one point. He had just lost a friend near and dear to him. How can you NOT feel awful about that?
How dare anyone presume to say how a grieving person should behave and what they should or should not say. When my father died, we were cracking jokes at the funeral. It wasn't until a year later When i heard Rhydian singing "The living Years " on c.d. in the car that i cried. This was neither right or wrong, just me , dealing in my own way.
@maxthecat14 I agree with you. This is probably Carreras's way of going through the grief process. He probably cried after this. For some, it takes a while for the sadness to really hit.
people like to pick on the slightest things someone says or how they say it! Carreras was very fond of Pavarotti and most certainly mourned the loss of his great friend and let's just leave it at that!

Non per parlare male di qualcuno, ma personalmente mi sembra un po' scorretto dedicare tutta questa attenzione al pur grande L. Pavarotti ( che stimo e ammiro moltissimo ) e non spendere neppure una parola sulle morti di Corelli, Bonisolli, Di Stefano e Raimondi.
caruso mi piace su alcune cose...io continuoa preferire in tutto di stefano, anche se domingo e pavarotti me lo eguagliano o passano di poco su due cose.
Pavarotti nei pagliacci, e Domingo me lo eguaglia in Nessun dorma
dio santo....quando ho visto quello che hanno dedicato a di stefano, sono andato in giro bestemmiando fra me e me tutto il giorno...fra parentesi pavarotti adorava di stefano, lo giudicava migliore di gigli
he should have said of Pavarotti the greates tenor of all time!!! , Carreras always thought that he was at the same level than Pavarotti... I don't think so...
What nonsense. Carreras is well-known in the opera business as being an extremely kind, good-hearted and humble performer. That you would insult him--and in the context of his mourning the death of a good friend--shows what an awful person YOU are.
They were extremely good friends, when Carreras had cancer, Pavarotti phoned him up frequently and offered him anything he wanted to make it easier on him.
remember that5 most men dont like to show their emotions, most of them like a proud old man, will never cry, but Im pretty sure he was indeed suffering for the loss of his friend pavarotti.
To me he seems to be moved so deeply that he has trouble to find words... after all, English is a foreign language for him. I wonder what he would have said if he were speaking his native Spanish or Catalan...
I also think that Jose Carreras is a kind of person that can't show his feelings immediately, if you had seen him in Bonn, when he dedicated the concert to L.Pavarotti, you would have seen how sad he was and at one point even cried for the loss of him...
Maybe he simply doesn't indulge in that kind of over emotional tears-on-TV garbage that has become the standard set by gutter television. This is a dignified respectful comment. Did you expect him to whimper? or did you want him to sing?
@gheeah I'm like that sometimes, especially if I don't want to make someone else upset by expressing my own sadness. For instance, a friend of mine once told me he was moving away, and I didn't have much of a reaction, because I didn't want to upset him, but a day later, the sadness hit me pretty hard, and I was crying uncontrollably! :( Carreras is a sweet, loving person deep down...think about what he's doing for people with leukemia. :)
He's the MOST emotive personality. I played in a concert with him the same day Pavarotti was buried. I believe he flew to that concert in Germany directly from the service in Italy. He cried a lot on stage, was extremely emotional, and gave the most unforgettable, spellbinding performance.
People who assume that Carreras is not showing any signs of grief probably don't know that this is just the way he is: he is very reserved, and is not the type who would openly show his true feelings. But I am sure he's holding a lot of grief and pain inside that he's afraid to let out, and this is how he deals with events like Pavarotti's death.
