Ciao Luciano

Il mio tenore favorito.

Coso molto romantico ai miei orecchi.

Bravo!

*LOL* Wrong guy. You're thinking of John Rhys Davies, who was Gimli, in the Lord of the Rings trilogy of movies.

I don't know if he can sing, or not. ;o)

What a loss. He was truly the greatest tenor since Caruso.

Prayers for his soul and for his family left behind.

Wow! I just threw in the "Three Tenors" CD before reading this.

I have a CD of Rigoletto, taped in the early seventies, with Pavarotti as the Duke of Mantua. Little in this world lives up to its reputation, but by God he beat it by a mile.

Rest in peace.

“Sad to hear him pass. But, ah, the remaining two tenors live on...”

It’s interesting that Jose Carreras, who had cancer himself quite a few years ago, has outlived Pavarotti. Amongst the three tenors, it is my humble opinion that Pavarotti had the most beautiful voice. Placido Domingo’s voice is sharp, crystal clear, and beautiful. Jose Carreras’ voice is powerful for such a little guy, but he is often stretching for those high notes, and although his voice is lovely, it never really matched up with those of his two compatriots. Whereas Pavarotti, ah, Pavarotti, his voice was exquisite. It was like a fine tuned Stradivarius. His voice was by far the most melodious. Each note flowed seamlessly into the next, and the drama he would put into his singing. He was a sublime artist. Pardon while I wax rhapsodic about Pavarotti. I worshipped him his whole career and sought out his performances whenever I could. Plus I love the way he brought younger people into his world of Opera, and mixed his singing with other genres of the music world. And he tutored a whole new generation of young singers for our pleasure. What a great man, and I suspect he has joined the heavenly chorus the minute he walked through those pearly gates. RIP Luciano, you will be well remembered and loved.

What a shame. I always preferred Placido as an artist, but Pavarotti did so much to popularize opera. A sad loss.
