The Three Tenors (feat. Luciano Pavarotti) - Nessun Dorma

[@lonestar6709]

Domingo the most soulful. Carreras the most elegant. Pavarotti the most forceful. All three, legends.

[@briangannaway2876]

Lone Star, great comment. They are all fantastic singers and I was struggling to distinguish their different qualities......you clarified it for me perfectly. Thanks.

[@paulz8703]

I like this opinion, very much.

[@TheWareek]

you hit it right on the head. Each wonderful in there own way. Not as powerful as the other two but there is something about Carrera that also makes him special and deserving of being there.

[@murozman]

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

There are many tenors around the world who can sing this, but the charisma and dramatic presence of The Three Tenors will never be surpassed. The three together are electrifying, and Luciano tops just about everyone's list as the greatest tenor who ever lived. He will always be celebrated for his great charitable works as well. A great and wonderful human being.

Pavarotti had the most powerful voice of all the tenors. His high C is the highest. His voice reached God.

Carrera's astonishingly good. Domingos's simply just great. But Pavarotti... he is something more. Miss him so much. That voice had so much love and meaning. And he was so sweet and kind too. Such a treasure. The world suffered a hard loss in 2007 when God took him from us. Rest in peace, Maestro. We love you.

He knew he was in the presence of greatness. We'll wait a long time before we hear the like of Pavarotti again.

This performance continues to remove the top of my head, every time I listen to or watch it. It is one of the greatest moments in musical history. We can get a sense of it, as passive observers, at the distance that technology inevitably keeps us. But to actually have been there? To be in that audience when that moment was created? To have heard those voices come together like that? Live and in the flesh? Never to be repeated? That must be a profound experience that only those who were actually there can fully appreciate.

Domingo has better technique and more musical training, but I think Pavarotti had a naturally more pleasant voice.

I think Carreras would have handled it better.
