  • some of you people are crazy. The viewing of the great works of these incredible artist has become so commonly accessible that we criticize their greatness with a fatuous, ill-equipped ear, with no regard of perfected use of the human instrument, or any instrument for that matter. I would love to see you unqualified, incompetent critics attempt such great performances.

  • Pavarotti loved performing this part (the Italian Singer) so much that even after he became famous, he would perform it uncredited whenever he had the chance, just so he could sing the part. It really is a beautiful part, and he puts a lot of love into it, you can tell.

  • god this aria must be really difficult.

  • The high notes, to me, did sound abit "squeezed"; however also to me, it only added to the poignancy of the verse! To "conduct" the flute player and then to raise his fist and "stomp off" at the end was pure comedic genius! I am just continually astounded at the versatility, intelligence, and devotion of this great man. To instinctively know exactly what to do and how to sing on stage in order to push every button his audience has is nothing short of other-worldly! There are none to compare.

  • I love him and this aria so much, I made it my ringtone. I love when my phone rings.

  • Hey I'm pavarotti I'm showing up outta fucking nowhere. well bye

  • He had a cold so his high notes were a little sharp[not in intonation].

  • @deviljulian Pavarotti's voice in this video is perfect it doesn't crack.

  • Luciano... Une voix de l'Olympe descendue sur Terre pour nous inspirer l'Olympe...

  • @maxjamesorgans It's part of the Levine 40 collection.

  • Kiri is the BEST!!!! <3

  • Mario Lanzas is the best version.
