Pavarotti is one of those singers you listen to a lot when you first start listening to singing, and eventually you move on to other singers and 'forget' how good he is, but it only takes one listen to remember the magic of his voice and, consequently, why you love singing

Absolutely with you on that!! I simply cannot listen to any other male tenors. Ever since I heard him - that was it for me. His voice the heart and soul. Most beautiful voice of any male tenor that I have ever heard. And I am 70 years old - been an opera fan my whole life.

Pavarotti was THE Italian singer. In this day and age no one comes close to this kind of singing. Thank goodness we have him on many recordings otherwise the world would never know that such a voice existed

I bet this is what Strauss had in mind when he wrote this.

Yes. See above. I don't want to listen to another tenor for this particular aria. It's in my head forever too.

ABSOLUTELY the sweetest most melodic, fulsome voice.

The Best Italian Singer from Rosenkavalier EVER

Pavarotti had the inherent gift of direct interpretation of music, reducing the distance between the composition and the essence of music to zero. That attributed his magic (besides a heavenly voice) of attracting opera fans to whom opera would have been nothing short of alliance. To many, his singing is absolutely convincing in that he is the opera itself.

I remember the excitement generated by the announcement that Pavarotti would be taking on "The Italian Singer" ...such luxurious casting!... At last, to be able to hear this enormously appealing aria sung live, in a stage production by a great tenor. And Pavarotti did not ever cancel if memory serves but sang every performance as beautifully as his fans had dreamed he might have.

Jean Fernandes Bastos ...I use to have the similar ringing or sound in my voice. Long timeago I recorded this. Today I found this recording. And I Cry...because I see and listen my Teacher and Best friend Pavarotti on it.

Electrifying!

I was in many opera productions over the years with great singers but it must be a crazy feeling to be in a scene like this and know that what you're watching is the high water mark, that it's never going to get better and then it's just gone...

Meraviglioso, unico ed inimitabile. LUCIANOOOOOO.

I agree. There's a lot of arguing about best in the opera fan community. But there are a lot of different voices suited to different repertoire. I think on occasion you could make the claim that such and such a singer did the best version of a particular piece (Un Furtiva Lagrima for Pavarotti IMO) but you're missing out if you want to hear one voice or one type of voice do every kind of repertoire. There are a lot of subtleties different kinds of voices bring to different roles and pieces.

After having heard PAVAROTTI, it is impossible to appreciate KAUFFMAN, VILLAZON and many other barking Tenors of nowadays !!

The world misses him . . .

I'm amazed every time I hear and see this. How can this stupendous sound emanate from a person without there being the slightest sign of strain or effort. Those schooled in the art of singing may have an answer, but to me it's stunning. Great man, this guy....

@ellenlyons7413

Күн бұрын

the answer is that , as Andrea Bocelli said in his book about Pavarotti, that Pav is the only one who can teach, because he has it all. He has it all inside, and he measures it all out precisely .All other so called singers have to force and strain, and throw their heads back, and stand on their tip toes, and drool, because they dont have the voice, the control, the diction, the pure clearness and sweetness of that voice, in his case, he holds it BACK controlling everything perfectly, he doles it out with all the training and pure raw talent that he has. this is why he is the best male voice of all time, never to be equaled or approached. after I have read hundreds of stories of his superior golden voice, my ears and soul tell me this, and I feel bad for those who need to compare and argue, there is no comparison, there is no argument. it just is. Not a matter of opinion, it just is.

Just gorgeous

Semplicemente meraviglioso

This would have to be the most luxurious of castings since Joan Sutherland sang The Woodbird in one of the Wagner Ring operas!!

Μοοving song from a real Italian,the best, tenor!

In case anyone wants to sing along: Di rigori armato il seno Contro amor mi ribellai ma fui vinto in un baleno in mirar due vaghi rai. Ma fui vinto in un baleno in mirar due vaghi rai. Ahi! che resiste puoco a stral di fuoco cor di gelo di fuoco a stral. With severity my breast was armed and I rebelled against love when with one stroke I was slain on seeing two lovely eyes. With one stroke I was slain on seeing two lovely eyes. Ah, how feebly an icy heart resists such fiery arrows.

Incredibly smooth and melodic for such a high pitch and sustained continuous set of phrases. Incredible difficulty made look easy and a magical end result.

Incredibile.

First time I ever saw Rosenkavalier was in 70's or early 80's: at the Met, pre-curtain the Manager steps out to announce the Italian Tenor's illness. The ughs changed to screaming: Pavarotti was the replacement. The rest was forgettable.

Strauss putting those Italian arias amid the German is the best kind of shock. (I've only seen Ariadne auf Naxos and Der Rosenkavalier live, tho. Was rapt both times.)

Dio...quanta bellezza

Love this aria. Sung by a voice as beautiful as any in operatic history (except maybe Bjorling). Preferred Pavarotti in early concerts (70's and 80's), such as Pavarotti Plus, rather then in staged operas. Not much of an actor, but a big, warm, inclusive personality, which showed better in concert. And of course his beautiful singing. One of the all time greats.

Incredibile

Divino

Very high tessutura. Like using the top ten percent of the voice without relief.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The most beautiful voice in the history of the opera

So beautiful. And there is a young tenor, Santiago Ballerini, who sings this aria. Equally beautiful voice, with feeling. Maybe following in the footsteps of the great Luciano.

Thank you Barry. I know Strauss was not fond of tenors, hence the preponderance of trouser role heroines, but I love this aria!.

Visgi, tai pats geriausias atlikimas, kokį teko girdėti. Fantastika !!!

Wow

Unbelievable

Immaculately glorious tenor singing like no other! All the control in his lower breathing, while completely relaxed in the throat Not a good idea of the director's to give him a folder to sing from. Totally unnecessary and distracting, not just for the audience but also for Pavarotti. He looks at it through out the entire aria.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

El papel favorito de Pavarotti según él, solo tenía que cantar esta aria, volvía al hotel se hartaba de comer y de beber y al final de la opera volvía a saludar. Una voz de natura espectacular pero un vago a la hora de estudiar y profundizar en la técnica y en la psicología de los personajes.

The purest Tenor voice ever
