Author: Gaetano Donizetti

[@daviddecarlo968]

17 curtain calls. Never done since then. The greatest tenor ever.

[@tomkastorp8383]

The one and only. In the league of his own. There will never be another tenor like him.

[@MrTomb789]

except Sir Harry Secombe

[@barbaraficalora8316]

He truly was a one of his kind-9 high c’s

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

Blessed are those who heard this live at 70's and 80's, he can do this 20 times, seems so easy and so not scary to him, "only dogs can reach those c", certainly HE is the top dog!!!! penetrating voice like no other ever before...those who dislike, are too busy to listen to half of the song, never hear the real deal, or those who dislike tenors in general.

[@giovannimedini2091]

I was 21 years old when in London covent garden 1967 I have had the luck to be there..... Pavarotti was Simply wonderful.

[@Welderman-xo1sx]

Pavarotti has always been the cleanest sounding when hitting those high cs of all the ones I've heard

[@Brixen-wu6gg]

Pavarotti è fuori categoria. Incomparabile con le altre voci tenorili. Nessuna ha lo smalto lucente e perfetto della voce di Luciano. Un miracolo.

[@marcelashehu6664]

Non esagerare...Caruso, Di Stefano, Del Monaco e molti altri sono stati bravi anche loro, poi devi sapere che ogni tenore ha una specialità... ci sono opere che a pavarotti non venivano del tutto bene e ad altri si

[@michelleestrada4011]

Due parole....Franco , Mario....

[@andreagazzara5708]

Assolutamente. La voce di Pavarotti non ha mai avuto nulla che si possa comparare. Poi naturalmente ci sono stati altri giganti del canto. Ma questo è un altro discorso

6:01 The way he sings this verse which such flawlessness is honestly amazing, I have not heard it in any other performance of a tenor. Just goes to prove why Pavarotti is the greatest ever tenor.

​@@susanhuy2819Yo le digo a usted que si. Para empezar Pavarotti era pésimo en la dicción Francesa y segundo lo cantó los primeros años, lo abandonó del repertorio pronto y en el 95 lo volvió a cantar bajada de tono y con gallos. Cuando quiera hablar de lírica con argumentos hablamos.

[@CarmenPerazzo]

@@Mariano-ge6de Muchos tenores van dejando este repertorio a medida que pasa el tiempo y la voz se va oscureciendo y pueden dedicarse a un reperetorio de tenor l´irico. Eso hizo Pavarotti. Fue magnifico en Boheme o Ballo por ejemplo.

[@genuinewill3288]

I've only heard this sung live by 3 tenors, one being Juan Diego Florez when he was quite early in his career. It's an amazing feat and no matter the voice, if you can do it well enough to sing it with confidence, it is quite something to behold. I can only imagine what it was like to hear Pavarotti sing it. His was so lyric and yet his voice shot out like a canon. Those C's must have been heard from space. What a voice!

[@RoaringMind]

the man is simply unmatched! I could listen a thousand times and still be amazed.

[@adamseidel9780]

Florez’s ease hitting the notes sets him apart. He sings them like they’re no sweat and he has another couple half steps in him… because he does. But when it comes to ring and tone… nobody beats Luciano. Nobody. His voice is like the clearest bell in the world being exploded by a cannon.

[@hwoarang_2982]

@@adamseidel9780 i mean, of course he can sing higher than a c5 (every tenor can), but the thing is the tone and the quality that you put on that note, thats the hard thing, cause when you sing higher than a c5 you lose the tenor quality

Rifugio impenetrabile e sicuro di Luciano, qui è davvero difficile pensare a una voce più luminosa, del calore del sole, che sprizza gioia di vivere ed entusiasmo.
