Rehearsals (3) - The Three Tenors Concert 1990

[@uncjim]

Beginning @ 2:25...just magnificent. That little snippet of Pavarotti's voice, with it's wonderful overtones, is the reason I've kept this as a favorite on my computer for years now. He was in brilliant voice on this day.

Great comment by Pavarotti about music being for everybody.

[@bethfiori4708]

There is nothing like seeing artists at the top of their game working so beautifully it seems like play.

So funny -- at 2:25-2:30, when Pavarotti sings, "So touch me", and Carreras obliges him!

[@katef6154]

Carreras is so lovely in this back stage footage

[@susanbagdon7628]

You wonderful singers sing to me only with thy eyes........

[@Willzito]

1:06 MARIaaaaaaaaa.... sweet and beautiful.. this is Pavarotti

[@yolandasanchez2836]

Luciano era un terremoto en aquella epoca por su gran voz y su personalidad tan extravertida

[@ToltAztec]

Pavarotti didn't just sing Opera. He blended with it. He made it part of him. If you have read "Pavarotti:My World" by Pavarotti and Wright, you will know what I am talking about. Also, Pavarotti didn't just sing Opera and locked himself there. He was determined to break the barriers of music, mixing himself with other great singers from other genres:Pop, Rock. I mean everything. He sang with Queen's Brian May, U2, Celine Dion, Spice Girls, Sting, Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi,. He was wonderful!!

I have that book. He loved singing. You could see it in his eyes. When he'd go home him and his dad would sing together.

[@ILoveTobin]

Pavarotti always wanted to be the nr. 1 - nr. 1 in private life, nr. 1 on stage and of course nr. 1 amongst the 3 tenors. And he was it.

[@uncjim]

At 2:25..a gift. His voice was from above.

@Mooorhe It was this decade that opera singers became the new rock stars. I must admit, although I was occassionally listening to operatic arias before, it was not after the 1994 three tenors concert that made me look at the genre seriously. And Maestro Pavarotti was right - music is made for the people. And if opera became the new pop music then by all means, celebrate it! We have to acknowledge these three gentlemen for opening us rockers to opera.

Te adoro Luciano ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vladigibb]

Jose Carreras cantando granada demostro que le habia ganado la batalla contra la leucemia y se consolido junto a Placido y a Luciano como los 3 tenores mas famosos del mundo, no habra nadie como ellos jamas xD lo mejor, es ver cantar a Pavarotti en castellano, es un tremendo lujo xD

[@Matt-cm8hh]

Domingo is so good here!

[@felipepeletta]

The big Luciano is the best tenor of all times, forever!!!!

[@annkynaston3605]

It wasn't Pavarotti who was arrogant,it was the people who said the music was too popular who were arrogant.

[@appeace1]

Hehe--2:30, typical baby brother instigating crap and picking at older brother!--too cute!

[@irenavisockiene3735]

Viskas labai faina!

[@Mooorhe]

I see nothing wrong with open air concerts, the music is exceptional, why should only those with the money to buy a seat at The Met get to listen to the singers interpreting the composer's music? And this concert (1990) was purely to celebrate Carreras's recovery, they had no idea that the records/ticket sales would amass to the huge amounts of money they did. The 1994 was more commercial, which is actually why Pavarotti didn't want to do it when Carreras/Domingo were very keen to do another.

[@ninatitina2]

y a Agustín Lara con Granada, de verdad que granada debería de rendirle un enoorme homenaje a lara por esa pieza inmejorable.

@castorp278 Im a big opera fan, also i haved to study a lot. And one thing is sure, Kraus wasnt jelaous. Kraus doesnt like the ''masive'' performance... Be cause he was a purist of the opera... The purist doesnt like the microphones, the big sounds, i mean... They sing just in a Teatro with the Orquesta without a extra sound then his or her voices.

[@peacocktravels]

Well lets be fair.....would you go out and sing such a strenous concert with the biggest names in opera without getting paid a great salary....I dont think so!.....

[@hipogrifus]

@castorp278 Kraus doesnt sing Pagliaci or Il trovatore be cause he had the idea... the great idea... the perfect idea then an opera singer cant sing pjs than doesnt are to their voices... Once he sang Vesti la giubba and Di quella pira... But in a studio recording. Im a big big fan of Jose Carreras... And Jose Carreras sang all the things than pasioned him... Kraus was more tecnique... But he wasnt Jelous... He was just purist. =D
