[@howardtreesong4860]

This is a masterclass, it’s precisely the point that the younger singer sings a piece before a recognised authority who will then show them how to sing the part in the context of the opera and how to use their voice. This is not a comparison between the younger singer’s talent versus someone of the quality of a Pavarotti, how would that make sense? Pavarotti shows his deep and intimate understanding of the piece and why it is sung the way it is.

This is so wonderful. The Korean, Kwang Chung can sing powerful tenor in Italian with (to me) world class delivery - in front of one of the all-time historical greats of opera.

It’s overwhelmingly rare and so valuable a clip. I’m speechless. It gives some of us who have not heard Pavarotti speak, a sense of his humble and deeply passionate nature. He seems at least here, so gentle and kindly.

[@NokneesLooney]

I love how Pavarotti is helping this talented young man to understand that technique is important, effect is what makes it passionate. And opera is a passionate genre of music. Without the passion, which is brought out via the effect, technique is dull. The very greatest singers in the world have that passion, or effect. Technically good singers may be technically perfect, but not enjoyable to listen to because there is no heart or soul in their singing. That was one of Pavarotti's greatest gifts out side of his voice, was he had an understanding of that concept and he not only sang the music, but felt it.
