Pavarotti never seen before taping Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento

The great tenor taping Nel cor piu non mi sento in Modena, Italy, 1987. I was studying at the time with his teacher Arrigo Pola and got to spend some time with the great tenor. I have had these out takes for 30 years but was never sure if I should make them public. I do so because they are fun and show how Luciano was simply marvelous.

[@flav2689]

@@MumiHandpan Agree with you both. Miss him so much!

[@bellaboop1]

He was booed and jeered by his audience for missing a keynote. When asked by a reporter if he thought the audience was disrespectful he answered "No, they came to hear me sing the song the way they expected it and look forward to the crescendo and high notes. It's not their fault, it's mine. Don't blame them." Class Act!

[@dominiccugliari2282]

He also claimed that its their place to cheer or boo. He was truly a fine man who understood the public. And the best part, it never stopped him. He kept going and never failed to redeem himself. Rip

"In my country, for example, the people come to boo the tenor, never a baritone. They know instinctively that if someone can make a mistake, it's the tenor, because he has the most difficult voice". --- Luciano Pavarotti

[@bellaboop1]

@@spgtenor Agree completely! It has been said that a choir without a tenor is like a star without it's shine. The parts offered us are difficult indeed; as can be the navigation of the many musical stratosphere's required to climb and conquer vocally.

[@gummypusswatterson1322]

sorry, but such disrespectful and toxic behavior from an audience should be called out. it's one thing booing a bad performance, but it's another being so entitled that you only expect perfection and will noo anything but that. one time he was booed for having a single, not even that bad, crack on a high note in an otherwise great performance in his later years. of course, he was humble enough to accept it, but in reality, what he and other should do is condemn such an ungrateful audience.

[@musettina6adina224]

@@gummypusswatterson1322 that one crack was on the opening night at La Scala of Don Carlos - an opening night there , with all the pressure it entails! - the other performances were gloriously beautiful and without any further problems.

[@ornmiiler4705]

The greatest honor/memory of L.P. beholding my wife's tears of joy meeting the great big master (of talent, physical size and most of all heart) in NYC tower Records, was in the shaking of his gentle hand and while grasping his upper arm, as he did same in return with a kiss on her face... with tears in my eyes/pain in my heart and soul then and as in every time I hear or think of him now. The line to meet him when on outside for many blocks, and Towers employee's were frantic to get him out of the store by any means and close, but he waved them off and would not leave that store until 2-3 AM after everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, who came to meet the beautiful soul/him and get as many album autographs, photo's taken along beside him, with handshakes, hugs, and kisses a plenty to last a lifetime of memory. This was one of the greatest outpouring's of love for others I've ever beheld, and transcended any mere musical performance, into a brotherhood of man type spiritual unity in all of us who were there. God bless his great soul for this night of all night's to remember forever!

There were probably many other instances which required more complicated set ups, negotiations and factors that we cannot even begin to imagine!

Thank you for this most enlightening look into the life of an artist. A lesson for us all.

[@mistermornevanderberg]

Well obviously, if you want to record it permanently, you would want to take several takes and showcase the best one

[@santoshpss]

Something weird happened to me. I thought about watching this BTS. I think I thought about this either yesterday night or today morning, but then after like 10 hours or so, when I was browsing the "Home" tab in the KZbin app, this video showed up. How is this possible, exactly? I didn't write about wanting to watch this anywhere, never said it out loud, just thought about watching it. And remember, it was this EXACT video, in which you can see the "BTS" of making the actual video song. Two things must be possible: either KZbin can read my thoughts, which sounds absurd, but looking at the advanced technology "apparently" created by human beings, this shouldn't be that much of a surprise, maybe the "nurses" injected some micro "chip" or something similar when I was born. Or maybe I can somehow control what videos the "Home" tab of youtube can show me just by thinking about a certain video. Now, these kind of "coincidences" happened multiple times in my life, but most of them were generally related to the "Electronic" devices. I could write about my other experiences if anyone is interested.

[@veraahllof]

I've had same experiences over the years with internet. Possibly even with KZbin. Thoughts manifesting into reality or precognitions? Or dreaming about the subject and talking while asleep and the phone records it. Or, heaven knows 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
