  • Please also compare Luciano Pavarotti’s exquisite singing of this beautiful song with Fritz Wunderlich’s rendition of 1965!

  • Pavarotti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Ok, I sang this song as a Junior in high school.  This is fucking Amazing and off the scale in vocal quality, phrasing, texture, tambre, and execution. No more comments needed ever.

  • Ari is doing this for the solo/ ensemble contest this year.....she sounds a lot like this (except in a higher voice, of course).

  • My first song too.

  • muy buena la plena

  • 9 people are Tone Deaf.

  • sometimes opinions are just wrong....

  • thank you so very much for posting this! amazing!

  • one of the most naturally beautiful voices to ever exist,,,

  • This man was so unbelievably SEXY !!

  • Pavarotti, thank you for your beautiful service in the arts. :)

  • I am singing this in our Arts Day performance. I am scared.

    Pavarotti is my hero!

  • Pavarotti is respected by ME, and his fans.

  • well his voice isnt particularly good imo, the only time it shines is when he belts or goes powerful or whatever idk the technical terms but ya his voice is just average sounding

  • @theandyandsamyshow imo, you are a tosser=]

  • @theandyandsamyshow are you an idiot? Pavarotti is an epic genious. What the hell is wrong with you?

  • @DavidDavila13 im calling it like it is, idgaf who he is, his voice is kinda ugly, im not saying he cant sing or he cant hit them mariah carey notes but his actual voice isnt that cute. you dont have to agree and you dont have to call me an idiot and theres nothing wrong with me, actually, its my own opinion so back the fuck off my cooter.

  • @theandyandsamyshow no.....DavidDavila was right. You're an idiot.

  • @DurwardMatt haha because i dont think his voice is nice? no, i can think whatever i want. im not denying his ABILITY which is obvious but his voice isnt cute in my opinion and i dont get why you give half a fuck so instead of wasting your time calling me an idiot because of MY OPINION why dont you go get off to his voice or something

  • you IDIOT you cannot understand the quality of the unique voice in the whole world. SHAME ON YOU

  • @greekcypriot14 everyones voice is unique, actually and once again i am not denying or questioning his incredible ability, but his voice isnt particularly pretty to me and thats my opinion obviously so hop off my goods

  • pavarotti forever and singing this precious gem composed by Giordabo!!!!

  • Effortless beauty.

  • Luciano is the Greatest Opera Maestro. His voice touch the Heaven. His voice goes is in the Air. Bravo Maestro. Bow!

  • It's good!

    

  • I'm singing this song tomorrow for honor choir auditions, as is everyone else, so Pavarotti please be with me:P He was SO AMAZING!

  • 5 people sing soprano

  • Many people get this as the first song to learn when they start taking voice lessons. As a byproduct of that, it is often stuck with the stigma that it is a song merely for beginners. It is a simple tune, but a gorgeous one for all levels of singing from novice - Pavarotti.

  • @DurwardMatt

    Absolutely! much like "fur Elise". Not for beginners if done properly. Check out how VAlentina Lisitsa does it...

  • @DurwardMatt I'm using it as my first one right now. lol However, I agree.

  • He's so italian! It's awesome.

  • i was told to look at this too and its amazing hahaha

  • Really?? I'm learning this too!

  • lmao i guess this is the song that all beginning voice students learn

  • @Kronikwookie yessirree... I was given this song too because I started voice lessons today. thanks for posting.

  • We're all learning this song! haha

  • I'm Learning this song just got it a few hours ago in my night voice class i absolutley love it

  • I'm not a big opera fan but due to lack of radio that I liked while working in Puerto Rico a few years ago I bought a Luciano Pavarotti CD at a Wal*Mart down there. This song was my favorite on the 20th Century Millenium Collection. It sounded so beautiful. I would replay it over and over again. It sounds so sad and yet so beautiful.

  • That is why there is no one to compare to Luciano Pavarotti

  • Dang this is a beautiful rendition of this song. this is the first song I received since starting vocal lessons.

  • R.I.P Maestro

  • I love you

  • pavarotti.fo.ru

  • Pavarotti, Pavarotti, Pavarotti, che cuore, che anima, che bello, immenso, delicato, meraviglioso, ti voglio bene, fino a quando ci incontriamo di nuovo, ora riposano in pace (RIP), giovanni

  • 4 dislikes???? Who could possibly dislike this??? A hearing impaired?

  • @dago0109 Well, with all that new fangled rap music out there, people are losing their sense of what culture is. And what good music means.

  • @dago0109 Beliebers

  • @dago0109 Anyone who is jealous of the great tenor.

  • He was great! What an amazing lyric sound.

  • Singer-wise he was awesome- healthwise- he was FUBAR

  • Such a rich and beautiful voice.

  • Very well done Pavarotti was one of the greats, and his exicution of this song is just flawless.

  • exelente que era este cantante muy bueno la verdad

  • I am in tears! I love this song so much! One of the greatest of the Italian arias!

  • @DavidNeff2011 SO AM I....THERE NEVER WAS AND NEVER WILL BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM. HE IS SURELY MISSED...............

  • I am in tears! I love this song so much!

  • Wonderful from the great man.

  • This is awesome man. I lov this dude. I love opera.

  • learning this song in my college basic voice lesson lol pavarotti is amazing!

  • I remember over half the class in my college voice class singing this to get their final grade!!! All these years later, I now see that a masterpiece must be hung in an appropriate place to shine the way it is supposed to.

  • I am 14 years old, and recently took my grade 8 singing, and got a merit. Despite this song being technically easier than the grade 8 pieces, it's how you sing it that matters, and shows what a master he really was.

  • @JJmoore503 hey what grade is this song for ABRSM syllabus, do you know?

  • @JJmoore503 amen. dickhead.

  • @myguitarjustshat

    how the fuck dont u like this song?

  • يسعد ربك!

  • @darkdemonded oink oink?

  • c'è nella malinconia qualcosa di estremamente dolce, commuove... e l'essenza si fa greve e leggera negli stessi istanti...

  • @SongsJerome You do realise that a) this song is in Italian and Pavarotti was Italian. b) the word for word literal translation of Caro mio ben doesn't specify gender at all c) don't you think if it was written solely for a woman to perform, i.e. Se tu m'ami... Pavarotti would have known this and probably not done it?

  • @nztenorino Hey man, don't have a cow.

  • 素晴らしい!

    胸がいっぱいになった!

  • The first 2 bars are very similar to the 3rd and 4th bars in "We Shall Overcome." (Deep in my heart, I do believe, we shall overcome some day). Funny how music never dies.

  • @sandinmyears1 yeah, but this is betterr

  • @TheEDBShow - I read that Bob Dylan loosely based "Blowin' in the Wind" on the melody of this song.

  • this was my choice for my high school recital for graduation...boy, was my performance an insult to the art..he was magnificent!

  • In college in voice class our final test was to sing "CARO mio ben' by memory in italian. I was the only in class to do it. I got a "D" skipped class to much, couldn't handle the other crap in the class.LOL

  • I miss u maestro....You will always be in my heart. May God love you as much as we did here on earth.

  • what does Caro mio ben means??

  • @catjoox31 it means "dear my good"

  • @Nick9494 oh ok, Thank you :)

    i wanted to know because my name is Caro :)

  • @catjoox31  It means: ¨My dear beloved one¨.I will translate the song for you: My dear beloved one, believe me at least; without you my heart languishes.

    Your faithful one yearns for you always. Stop being so stern with me , cruel one!

  • Oh my word... Beautiful!!! This is the only tenor that can sing this piece so beautiful!!!!! I miss You Pavi....... :'(.........

  • GREAT interpritation of Caro Mio Ben... I normally dont care for Pavarotti's voice but this one is exceptional! RIP

  • God, what a mook. This song was supposed to be sung by a woman not by a man. Opera guys are weak!

  • @SongsJerome Fuck you!

  • @Lifeisincredible911 Hey pal, I was not trying to be rude or a dick, it's just that some arias a guy cannot get away with singing. But If I offended you, I was not trying to, I apologize.

  • i have no idea what it means but it's absolutely great

  • @str4wb3rrieez Dear my love without you my heart is aching...

  • Senza di te, tanto rigor.

  • My voice teacher told me, "All this week I want you to youtube the hell out of Luciano Pavarotti. He has perfect vowels."

    Pretty much.

  • NO ONE compares to Luciano.

  • @pakvasevigreste Have you ever heard countertenor Nicholas Spanos's version of Caro mio ben? You might want to listen to it for comparison. It's very beautiful too and very expressive. It's great too. My favourite version.

  • @pakvasevigreste I guess you're right

  • Phinguita, I totally agree with you. Pavarotti combined grace and passion. Nothing else can be added.THIS IS IT.

  • Beautiful? ..somebody can help me? what is the most high note of this aria? F?F#? or G? Thanks

  • Im singing this song for Regionals for my highchool :D Wish me luck!

  • @Namarie2000 good luck! :)

  • kanye: Pavarotti, you sing real nice, and I'll let you get back to what you were doing in a second. But Andrea Bocelli is one of the best opera singers of all time.

  • @funkj91 FOFLOL Sad, truly sad. Bocelli is NOT an opera singer. He has sung some arias and even a few roles, but he is not an opera singer. He is a pop singer, with a thin, reedy, throaty timbre singing opera.

  • @funkj91 ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! i mean, andrea bocelli has a great voice and all but,NOBODY, i repeat, NOBODY will EVER compare to pavarotti...EVER

    (yes i know my english is bad)

  • @phinguita dude, he was being sarcastic. "Kanye" lol.

  • да,вот это я понимаю поёт человек, профессионал что сказать...

  • @GnRSalvation It's in E flat on F.

  • Its Brian Blessed!

  • Bravo, bravo.

  • this song got me high school

  • esta cancion me hace recordar mmmm la amo y mas en la voz de pavarotti haaaa me vulvo a enamorar

  •  HI LAURIE

  • I love singing this song the reason i looked it up is so i can get the toon :P

  • @UltimateGirLover So do I! It's a voice teacher staple,apparently. I can't get to to sound nearly half as lovely as this though...

  • @LucyTook Yah neither can i .__.

  • @LucyTook That's what my Vocal teacher tells me.

    The first half I mean.

    This song is good. He also said "Amirila" or something like that is the second.

  • Comment removed

  • yo tuve la suerte de verle en directo en Bilbao, y la verdad... era un genio... cada cancion que interpretaba me emocionaba. Que grande Pavarotti!!!

  • I remember doing this song for an allstate choir concert...still sing it to this day...in the shower lol. I remember i was still getting used to being a long baritone then, even though i was used to being a bass II but jumping to tenor II here and there >.<

  • I remember doing this song for an all state choir...Still sing it in the shower to this day, perfect for long baritones or low tenors

  • maestro de verdad eras exelente que legato que vibrato y que control del fiato tan bello que dios te tenga en la gloria cantando en sus coros celestiales.....

  • Wow....So THIS is what it is supposed to sound like!!!! I'm taking voice lessons and this is the first song I am learning. It looked like it had potential to be a good song, but listening to this rendition just made it an AMAZING song. Definitely something to aspire to!

  • @emerson24

    how far are you now?

  • @bboybram Well, I moved so I stopped going, but I did it twice a week for 2 months. We did a couple different versions of it. Can't really recall what it was called musically, but it was a great tune to learn.

  • @emerson24 omg i just started voice lessons too and this is the first song i am learning ^^ beutiful!!

  • @emerson24 OH MY GOODNESS.

    me too. who are you taking your lessons from?

  • @MBHSsoccer09 Well, when I was living in Tacoma, it was from a an older guy named Jerry in North Seattle.

  • @emerson24 i am learning this song to !!!

  • @emerson24 Wow I'm learning this for voice lessons too! it seems like this is the song for voice lesson beginners. even though I started singing last year...

  • @emerson24 Wow I'm learning this for voice lessons too! it seems like this is the song for voice lesson beginners. even though I started singing last year...

  • quee genio!! cada dia lo amooo mas!!!

  • Bravo!!!

  • DOes this song start above middle C?

  • @GINOFALUS it is in the key of C and yes it starts with middle C

  • @GnRSalvation but his first note is an f, right?

  • @SDVR007 idk which version this is, but the one by Giordani starts on a "C" treble staff.

  • @GnRSalvation the first note he sings is an F I checked

  • @GINOFALUS yeah, it's in the key of f major

    so he starts off on the F above middle C and so on

  • why is he allowed to slide, &&i'm not : )

    haha, just kidding.

    beautiful &&moving! : )

  • @sadejade93 it takes time to learn the technique properly. If you cut corners, it will sound sloppy and you can get into bad habits that are hard to kick later. I also took voice for opera, I am a tenor, and the trills and the addins are definetly fun to do, but basics first! I know.. it sucks lol!

  • @sadejade93 Because a) he's Pavarotti, and b) it's for stylistic effect; and c) it gets a fuller sound for high notes. But you have to know how to hit notes lightly and without effort before darkening them. :)

  • NOthing less from the best of the best

  • Voz de ouro!!! Um carinho a minha alma...

  • P4VR0771 4EAE

  • im singing this version of caro mio ben in my choir concert

  • @NejiRedBoy me too!

  • Stunning. Thank you.

  • Beautiful rendition by a Master - thanks for posting this

  • idk yet lol my audition date is march 27th at 3:45pm :D ill let ya know how it goes though!

  • HEY lol im singing this version of Caro Mio Ben at my audition for a music scholarship at Abilene Christian University in Texas :D

  • nice! :D

  • @SirLancealongtime how did it go..?

  • May he rest in peace.

  • I'm personally not a huge fan of this version actually, i feel it's just a tad to slow and i think there should really be a glissando from the C to the F @ 1:53, just makes it truly bel canto in my opinion

    but i'm definitely not saying it's bad, its pavarotti!

  • @followthehatecrewild i agree with you..but on the other side.. Pavarotti is/was in the position to do what ever he wanted....He was the one and only. And actually, i think he has a version where he does just the thing you're asking..

  • Awesome!!!!! The Voice of a Legend!!!

  • Goosebumps.I gots goosebumps from that. Incredible! :-)

  • Oh! Pavarotti, how can we listen to anyone else singing this song. When the maestro sings--that's it--no one else can compare.

  • I understand the sentiment, but there people who's voices are just as beautiful as Pavarotti's and who's interpretations are just as gorgeous. I love Pavarotti, but this is not my favorite interpretation, and it is unfortunate that people like Wunderlich and Hvorostovsky are not as celebrated.

  • Hi! Jragir,

    Thank you. I will try and locate presentations by Wunderlich and Hvorostovsky as you recommend. I know to what you refer as for many years I appreciated Marion Andersen and lately discovered by accident Kathleen Ferrier's extraordinary interpretations. It is difficult to describe the truly great artists for they have the ability to touch us all.

  • P.S., What are the first names of Wunderlich and Hvorostovsky. There are several listed for each.

    Thanks

  • It's Fritz W. and Dmitri H.

    Glad I could get you interested in two brilliant singers. As a base, I tend to like Hvorostovsky because he's a base or low baritone, but as far as tenors singing this song goes, I really love Wunderlich

  • I listened to both Dmitri H. and Fritz W. Yes, I prefer Hvorostovsky's interpretation too because he brings the rich quality. Thank you

  • *grin* Thanks, glad to share!

  • Is this in D flat?

  • F Major.

  • I am the President of the Vocal Department at my school and we are singing this piece. First time I heard it I fell in love. Bravo, Pavarotti.

  • singing this for nysmaa. such a beautiful song

  • so am i! :)

  • legendary.

  • singing this for a competition...good song!

  • Superbe interprétation de cet Air Antique que ne dénigrait pas ce grand ténor à son niveau... Bel exemple de modestie. Magie du timbre !

  • I am singing this as part of my college audition....great song. Performed masterfully by Pavarotti

  • i'm singing this for solo & ensemble! i can't wait until i perfect it!

  • @leopwns No way, me too! ;D

  • I'm singing this too

  • is this the tenor 1 part for solo/ensemble?? and if it is, is the first note a "fa" on the piano?
