    Your reaction brought tears to my eyes. I am in the Chorus of the Metropolitan Opera in NY and I had the privilege of my life singing Turandot with him. To hear his voice live was a gift from the heavens. As you know from other comments, sadly, Maestro Pavarotti is no longer with us, but fortunately there are many recordings and live performances (on CZcams) that you can enjoy. I’m so glad you listened to this. ❤️

      Your reaction was exactly like mine the first time I heard him I cried and continue to do so every time I hear him sing. It’s not only his voice but to watch him become the character he is portraying through the song then return to himself is unbelievable. Would you play another wonderful Aria by Pavarotti
      “E lucevanle stele” by Tosca. I am sure you and your listeners will once again be amazed at his performance. Sadly this great Tenor passed away September 6th 2007 of Pancreatic Cancer. He returned home to Modena shortly before he passed away. He has a very interesting life story .

    Two-minute backstory:
    Princess Turandot’s father wants her to hurry up and get married but she hasn’t met the right guy. She ultimately agrees to entertain suitors again - but with a proviso. If a suitor correctly answers three riddles, she will marry him. If he does not; he will be executed. Several unfortunates go to their deaths before Calaf (himself a prince but that is not known to Turandot) answers all three riddles correctly. Turandot is furious because she had assumed that no one would successfully answer all three riddles. Calaf, a nobleman visiting from a different principality, offers her an ‘out’. If she can learn his name by the next morning she can execute him. If she cannot learn his name, she must marry him. She reluctantly agrees but issues an edict that no one in the principality may sleep (“nessun dorma!”) until she has learned the suitor’s name. In this aria, Calaf repeats her order “nessun dorma!” and prays for the stars to set because when morning arrives, he will win “Vincero!”
    The next day, she and her father call for Calaf to be brought to them. Calaf arrives to find Turandot standing next to her father and surrounded by burly guards. The king asks her if she has learned his name and she answers "yes". Calaf, and all us guys watching, are devastated, but then Turandot adds "His name is "Love."
    P.S. After Pavarotti stopped performing in complete operas he continued giving concert performances for decades. I saw him several times on his American tours and Nessun Dorma was always the last song he would sing.
    P.P.S. The three riddles:
    1. What is born each night and dies at dawn? (hope)
    2. What flickers red and warm like flame, yet is not fire? (blood)
    3. What is like ice yet burns? (Turandot)

    What you just listened to is the one of the greatest tenors of all time Luciano Pavarotti. The piece he was singing is entitled ‘Nessun Dorma’ from the opera ‘Turandot’ by the composer Puccini. When referring to a piece such as this it is called an aria rather than a “song”. This aria was what you might call Pavarotti’s signature aria and he sang it many times but with such feeling and emotion that a listener might well believe it was his first. To the sorrow of the world this great talent passed away on September 6, 2007 of pancreatic cancer at age 71. He is universally mourned.

Somehow he manages to express to the entire world how we feel about art, and that is why we are so thankful he is part of our history. The present is used on purpose because Pavarotti will live forever.

    I am so glad you were introduced to this legend. Your almost childlike delight and joy at hearing him made my heart sing. And I appreciate that you did not do what so many other "reaction" CZcamsrs tend to do which is pause the song to hear yourself talk. You quite rightly let the song finish before commenting. It looked like you were almost tearing up at one point which is totally natural. I have listened to this hundreds of times and I cry every time, it's so beautiful and unearthly. One rarely gets to experience a moment of true perfection in life. Listening to Pavorotti sing Nessun Dorma, watching Secretariet win the 1973 Belmont Stakes...these are moments to cherish.

    Luciano was called the "king of the High C's", meaning his vocal range went up to two octaves above middle C. So if you have a standard 88 key piano or keyboard handy, locate middle C, then go two octaves above that. That's how high Pavarotti could go!

    Luciano Pavarotti was one of the foremost male opera singers of the 20th century. He passed away in 2007, but there's an extensive collection of his work. Try also listening to some of the women opera singers. You will be amazed at the high notes that they can reach. Also search "the three tenors", these are concerts that he did with two other world famous tenors from Spain, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras. Opera is fun.

    Sadly, Luciano died in 2007 at the age of 71. He was the finest Italian tenor of his era, a line that extends, in modern times, from Enrico Caruso to Andrea Bocelli. I had the magnificent pleasure of seeing the maestro in concert two years before his passing.
    I always tell people you can unmistakably see in one’s face whether they “get” opera, or have a diminished appreciation of one degree or another, or are unimpressed altogether.
    You get opera.
    This was The Three Tenors concert with Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, and Luciano Pavorotti, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of Zubin Mehta, at Dodger Stadium in 1994.
    Here is a “classical crossover” song from the 1986 film The Mission that you should react to.
