Carreras about Pavarottis dead

[@nbg90489]

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.

[@Mooorhe]

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.

[@eloralencoski8882]

I love that Carreras wishes to remember him not just as a wonderful artist, but as a wonderful person as well. =)

[@maxthecat14]

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.

[@ashscott6068]

I live next to a large church. At least once a week, I have to walk through a crowd of mourners, waiting to carry the coffin in and begin the service. And it's almost ALWAYS like that. People making jokes and laughing. The only time it's not like that, is if the person was murdered or something. In the case of people who died of cancer or other illnesses, everyone is very upbeat outside the church. And everyone who has been to funerals of family members, probably remembers feeling the same. It's not relief, exactly, but it's something similar to it. People who expect everyone to be miserable , clearly haven't experienced shit, yet.

italians will always wow you with food. The greatest tenor of all time. Mr. Luciano Pavarotti.

[@katef6154]

Some people on here are beyond believe he said some lovely things about Pavarotti the singer and shared some personal memories which showed how much they liked each other. what more do people want.

[@CesarinPillinGaming]

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.

[@margybickerton1016]

Yes he was - very much .Pavarotti and Carreras had a great friendship.

[@judithhand4987]

Nice to see this. Fun when Mr. Carreras seemed to amuse himself when at the end he added "and a great poker player" - Expressenpunktse mentioned this. I have to admit that I didn't know Carreras until The Three Tenors and I'm very glad to have come to hear him in a setting which was also clearly fun for all involved.

Your sarcasm is stupidly misplaced.

[@MrMartmatsil]

I agree with Sr.Carreras,maestro Pavarotti was a great tenor,and his death creates a hole,in my heart,and a void,he is loved,and will be missed,his voice was a treasure as he was.Salvatore Licitra,was also a great tenor,and will also be missed.May God bless them all.The great tenor are the best.As was Mario Lanza.

[@BorisGodunov]

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.

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?

Estoy de acuerdo no solo una década pasara para otro tenor como el gran Pavarotti, !descanse en paz Maestro!

[@margaretsmith8337]

There will never be another like Pavarotti in a million years he was the greatest of all time.

[@qualin3745]

I remember Pavarotti, he was one of my greatest friends, we used to go skiing in the nordic part of jerusalem, back in de days I could only breath through a tiny pipe because of my cancer in the mouth and pavarotti would laught and because my voice was perfect pitch in the note c when I speak, I scream pavarotiiiiiiii look out for the hannuka treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and he just laugh.

[@MariaRojas-dc2jj]

Imperdonable que Domínguez y Carrera no hayan asistido al funeral del Más grande, del unico, Luciano Pavarotti. Gracias a él, estos dos tenores fueron conocidos por el público mundial y no solo por los privilegiados. Igual que esos cantantes populares que brillaron gracias a la luz de Pavarotti y que a excepcional de 2 o 3 grandes los demás no se vieron. El mundo entero ha sido testigo que desde la partida de Luciano Pavarotti también se apagaron Domínguez y Carrera. Y no más presentaciones a beneficio de los niños abandonados en el.mundo. Cine ti manco Luciano.

[@medranov9387]

Quien es Dominguez?

[@mariajoselopezbarral3364]

Estás muy errada, tanto Plácido Domingo, como José Carreras ya eran muy conocidos y valorados como dos grandes tenores cuando empezaron a cantar con Pavarotti. De hecho empezaron porque eran muy amigos, y sacaban tiempo de sus respectivos recitales para poder cantar juntos (declaraciones de los tres, antes del concierto de París). Decir lo que has dicho es tan injusto, como si alguien dijese que Pavarotti fue conocido gracias a cantar con ellos. Eran tres tenores de gran talento, cada uno con sus características, que como eran famosos y amigos...decidieron sacar la ópera de los teatros y acercarla al gran público. Y que se hayan ido apagando después de la muerte de Pavarotti, es debido a la edad. El más joven es Carreras y tiene 74 años, Plácido tiene 5 más (79) y Luciano tendría ahora 86, y murió con 72. Es lógico que sus carreras se hubiesen ido apagando coincidiendo en el tiempo. Aunque te puedo asegurar que Plácido tiene todavía un montón de proyectos distintos en marcha. Y a los tres tuve la gran suerte de poder escucharlos en directo, pero por separado. El no haber asistido a los funerales, no indica que no lo sintieran y no se apenaran por la muerte de su amigo. Y de los tres, el que siempre me ha emocionado más con su voz, ha sido Pavarotti. Pero eso no quiere decir que no sepa a preciar a otros tenores, o que los desprecie por no llamarse Pavarotti. La música llega al alma, la llena y la eleva, si no lo entiendes así, es que no la sientes de verdad.

[@skyjuke2006]

Carreras is such a great tenor!

[@JoshuaHo93]

@nbg90489 could you tell me or upload the video in which Carreras performed and cried on stage? I would be very thankful if you would kindly do so.

[@vincentmcgrath4179]

The poker player bit amused me

[@maxthecat14]

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.

[@secretofsinging]

Also---I have always been astounded by and in love with Lanza's gorgeous voice !!!

[@maxthecat14]

Pavarotti was better than Caruso, a million times better than Caruso that is for sure!!!

[@mariajoselopezbarral3364]

Porque uno tiene que ser mejor que el otro?? Esto no es un campeonato de fútbol. No cantan para ver quién saca más puntos. Cada uno tenía una forma diferente de cantar. Pertenecen a épocas diferentes, con una diferente forma de cantar en cada una. Las dos son válidas y las dos emocionan. Pero no se jugaban una copa o una medalla. Sois vosotros los que intentáis, con pocas miras, darle la medalla a uno o al otro. Pero esa nunca sería la finalidad de ninguno de los dos.

[@mariajoselopezbarral3364]

Los amigos son como las estrellas, de día no las ves....pero están ahí. Puedes llorar por un amigo haciendo tu trabajo. No siempre se puede faltar a un contrato. Seguro que si lo hubiese hecho, de igual forma lo criticariais. Es solo hacer daño si habláis así. Escuché a Carreras años después de la muerte de Pavarotti....y su voz seguía siendo increíble. Aunque mi tenor favorito siempre ha sido, y seguirá siendo Luciano Pavarotti. Y cuando lo pude escuchar en directo, su voz ya no era la misma....y no lo critiqué, lo escuché emocionada por poder escucharlo en vivo y agradeciendo los muchos momentos en que había disfrutado oyéndolo cantar.

Were they real friends or just collegues?

[@mariajoselopezbarral3364]

Eran verdaderamente amigos. Los tres lo han declarado en varias ocasiones. Como cada uno de los tres tenía sus propias características, en cuanto a voz, lo de la envidia que dicen algunos no sé si será cierto. Yo siento envidia de varios colegas y la he manifestado muchas veces en público, .....que me gustaría saber la mitad de lo que ellos saben. Pero eso es una envidia sana, no deja de ser un halago para ese colega, que para mí es un Maestro. Nunca oí a ninguno de los dos criticar a Pavarotti, ni a ningún otro cantante, de ópera o de otro tipo de música. Al igual que si oí a Pavarotti decir que todo tipo de música si es buena, es hermosa.
