Maddy, one of the greatest moments of my life was meeting Luciano Pavarotti in 1997. I greeted him, and he smiled and shook my hand. I felt as if I had touched the hand of an angel. He is the greatest opera singer ever. It is really not a close call. As you experienced by the shivers, tears, and joy in a 3-minute song, Pavarotti was able to convey tremendous emotion - much more than just words. RIP maestro, we miss you...

[@neilcarpenter2669]

Have you heard every great opera singer? because if you haven't your opinion holds no weight at all does it, if you said he is the greatest you have heard then that has some validity. Most experts would disagree that he is the greatest, very good but not the greatest, not even close really.

It never fails no matter how many times I hear Pavarotti sing this song I always get all choked up inside and controlling my tears is so hard to do.

I'm Italian and I'm very sorry to tell you :bad pronunciation 😁. Luciano Pavarotti as you read as you pronounce. This isn't a song but an "aria" from Turandot by the great composer Puccini. Bad pronunciation but great reaction. Big Luciano G. O. T.

I was there for this concert, 1994, the night before the World Cup Soccer finals. This was in Dodger Stadium, about 70.000 or more people. The entire grassy area in the stadium was covered with chairs. All of the superstars and politicians etc of the Era was on the front rows. Sinatra was front and center... The set was built against the center field wall by Hollywood set designers. over a million dollars. the song was short because it is just one song of many in an opera that had many songs. turanadot. I saw Luciano many times. With symphony orchestra and just a piano. I am 78. For most of my life I lived in an era of romance...just listen to the songs from 50's 60's 70's and part of the 80's. the era of Cheek to cheek dancing to beautiful ballads with words of romance.... and in that era you could understand the words....the golden age of music in america...is gone

[@nubbypk]

Lucky, lucky you. In England, this was the theme tune that they played before every televised 1990 World Cup Game (the tournament was hosted in Italy). I've forgotten all the games (apart from Englands losing semi-final, of course) but I will never forget this performance by the great man. And 33 years later it still reduces me to tears.

@@MaddyReactions I subscribed to you after I watched your emotional reaction, about five times, to see if it was real, and you passed the test, if this rendition of a great Opera solo does not move someone to tears, and in your case and mine, the chin quiver.Your reaction was pure and simple honesty, which I admire and have no answer for 🥰, maybe decent morality , this is the perfect remedy for people that need a good cry, and to let emotion take its course.I am not sure of the TV coverage in the US, but in the late 90's the BBC did an all points documentary with Luciano, and it turned out he was an awesome , beautiful person.

I watch every reaction to this that I can find and it is ALWAYS the same. You have the wonderful combination of great music, a great voice, and someone experiencing this for the very first time. There is that visceral reaction to the very first phrase that he sings, and it goes on from there. This was a joy to watch. I must have either played for or heard this piece many hundreds of times, and it gets me EVERY TIME.

[@paulorenatodemaria6106]

[@stevedahlberg8680]

This performance still takes my breath away every single time. His final delivery there at the end is just a fascinating study of being in character, and then ending triumphantly, and then staying there for a bit, and then slowly the character slips away and we see basically an athlete after an astounding performance, and finally we see him as just the opera singer and the man himself, in front of all these emotional people, and it's just so moving.

Hehe! You got chills at the "warmest" part of the song. And then tears. Which was just for starters. Like so many of us before, this performance made the sometime cold existence of life seem truly warm and heavenly to you. I think its likely that you will love this song forever, and it will make you cry every time you hear it sung by Pavarotti. Because that seems to be what it does for most people. elicit tears of joy, tears of humility. tears of a kind of sense of freeness. Great suggestion by Steve.

[@artartful854]

Pavarotti is one of the two tenors in 120 years. This recording is a masterpiece.

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

That real high note at the end was a B4 in the tenor range. I don't generally even like opera (especially the female opera singers), but I have to say that his tone of voice, intonation & phrasing was out of this world! He doesn't have that overly exaggerated tone & vibrato that I usually hear from others singing in that Opera style, which is a different art form compared to Pop/ Rock since they use their voices differently. But again, I have to say that Pavarotti was AMAZING!

[@danieldickson8591]

Quite literally the most beautiful male voice I have ever heard. I've watched four recordings of Pavarotti singing this aria, and none match the intensity and passion of this one. Personally I think he was competing with the other two of the Three Tenors. 😉

[@MaddyReactions]

[@WMalven]

It's so short, because it is just one small part (an aria) of the opera Turandot by Giancomo Pucini. It is the song of Prince Calaf, who has fallen in love with Princess Turandot, who has refused many suitors and requires that each suitor answer 3 riddles with a wrong answer resulting in their death. Calaf passed the test, but Turandot refuses to marry him anyway, so he offers her an alternative...guess his name and he will accept death. The song (from the final act) is him singing his bold confidence of winning Turandot's hand.

I saw LP in London, I think in the early 90s in Hyde Park. I was lucky enough to see the other two tenors, Domingo and Carreras, on different occasions.

His performance as Don Jose in Carman I will never forget.

"Big Luciano" (as he was affectionately called), was "The tenor who gave the world Opera music" (in the sense that he made it accessible and famous for all, not just to Opera fans). Many years ago I went to visit two of my cousins from Modena and, walking through the center of the city where one of them had a law firm, I heard the Maestro practicing his vocalizations, because he had his home there, at the city center's square. 🙂 My cousins was involved for years as a volunteer in the events organized by the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation and his wife Nicoletta Mantovani in Modena. Certainly one of the Italian excellences known all over the world. 😎
