Correction, an individual may give a passing fad a chance...but works of art like this piece give YOU a chance, and unfortunately most of society today would fail miserably at this exercise.
Most people cannot understand why they react as they do, but they know they are listening to something that has transported them to a different place that barely touches this place we inhabit. Great music and the vibrations of the orchestra combined with his voice feel like a direct connection to the angels and to God. This is what produces the chills and tears nearly everybody experiences but cannot explain.
I was playing this once while doing chores around the house when my then 5-year-old daughter came into the kitchen, tears streaming down her face. I asked her what was wrong and she simply said: "It's too beautiful mommy. It's too beautiful".
Your story is so precious. Thank you for sharing it with us. If this had happened to me, it would have either broken me in two or I would have grown a meter. . How inspiring.
@@sojiadamo5212 Thank you. It was indeed very emotional seeing her reacting the way she did. Whenever I listen to "Nessun Dorma" (or any other opera for that matter), I think back to that moment
Yes, he does. He doesn't just sing song he becomes the character in the song. That is what Opera is about not just incredible vocalization but characterization. Actor as well as singer. That's why the train for 12 or 15 years to become and opera performer and train steadily their entire lives to be able to perform like that. Tremendous talent combined with tremendous effort.
This song is not opera, but one of the many success from an italian contemporary singer (Lucio Dalla), one of the top level. Pavarotti, used to do that, cover of contemporary songs with the aim to get young people close to opera
Luciano Pavarotti was a student of the voice all his life. His father was a tenor, and a pretty good one, but not a talent to go the distance. I remember reading a story about him that he met a hero of his. A major tenor of the time, and when Pavarotti saw this tenor, the tenor was doing scales. Warming up his voice for the day and putting in a lot of effort to be precise and exact with the notes he was singing. Pavarotti asked him about this, and this tenor said that he was studying. That as a singer he was an eternal student of his craft and held on to the discipline that this was what was important to be a singer. Pavarotti, who was still pretty young, took this to heart. He always thought of himself as a student, always learning something about his voice and honing his technique and how the human voice operates as a musical instrument. That is how Luciano Pavarotti could pierce the hearts and souls of millions of opera fans while he was still alive, and how he still looms like a colossus over operatic tenors today. He was blessed...but he worked at it as well, with passion!
Opera as you have discovered is one of the most expressive musical art forms. He is telling you a story with his voice. Pavarotti is one of the best. I love to see your appreciation for all the music you post for us.
Please listen to "E lucevan le stelle" from the opera Tosca, composed by Puccini. The aria is about a man who awaits his execution and realizes that he loves his life so much, the stars, the scent of a garden at night, the beauty of his beloved ... Of course greatly performed by Luciano Pavarotti. I'll cry along with you, it's so sad and beautiful!
If you think this performance is expressive and dramatic, you should watch him perform Pagliacci. There are a couple of videos of these performances on RUclips. I got to see him perform it live back in the 80s, and I unashamedly cried right there in the theater for everyone to see!
I'm so jealous. I wanted to see him for so long and he passed before I ever got the chance. Last time we were in NJ, I wanted to get in to see La Traviata at the met, tickets were fairly reasonable but just couldn't make it happen. Maybe next time.
Again, he sings all bets are off, can't be beaten. I am so thankful, my father exposed me, too these masterpieces at age 4 or 5. Glad you have developed a love for opera.
It's me again lol. I'm so thrilled that you enjoy Pavarotti just as much as I do. I know he's looking down at you smiling knowing that you love his music. He sang from the heart ❤
Caruso, Enrico (Born 1873) was an Italian operatic tenor. He sang to great acclaim at the major opera houses of Europe and the Americas. Another amazing voice
What’s wonderful about Pavarotti is that you may forget his music for a while and when you hear it again, it still hits your soul with the same intensity.
I'm so so happy that you listened to Caruso by Pavarotti I knew you would tear up I did too the first time I heard it .It touches you somewhere deep inside .Keep up listening as you have a good ear for fine music .
I was lucky enough to be able to go to one of his love opera and I literally could feel his voice coming from everywhere in the theatre and I could feel him under “my skin” and resonate all over the place. This was was a legend
Thank you for reacting to classical/operatic music. Luciano Pavarotti is a wonderful artist, one of his songs which truly shows his acting ability is una furtiva lacrima.
You have a beautiful soul my friend, I'm italian and is so beautiful to see your reaction with something that means a lot to us, like it is the Maestro Pavarotti, thanks
The writer of this song, Lucio Dalla (from Bologna, northern Italy), wrote this while staying in one of the rooms where Enrico Caruso, former famous tenor (From Neaples), spent the final days of his life. Caruso was 48-years-old when he died, and a few years before Caruso died, he married Dorothy Park Benjamin who was 20 years younger. They had a baby girl they named Gloria. Lucio Dalla wrote this song while imagining how Caruso, who knew he was dying, would have said goodbye to his young wife - the love of his life. curiosity: in sicilian dialect the word caruso means (ragazzo) boy.
Stunning performance, the power to reduce me to tears just with his phrasing . It doesn't seem to matter that I don't know what he is singing ,just in awe of his talent. Beautiful reaction Jay
PS there is this very lovely and so Sweet duet with his father wich they sing in the village church where Pavarotti started as a choirboy. Later he became famous of course, but went back there to sing this song with his father, who also had a beautiful voice. It's called 'panis angelicus' (by composer Ceasar Franck). You Will love it!
Grande ll nostro compianto ''big'' Luciano da ricordare anche per i molti che non lo conoscono l'autore della canzone ''Caruso'' il grande ed anche lui compianto Lucio Dalla.
I believe the emotion most prevalent in singing Caruso is PASSION which is usually associated with lovemaking but not always........deeply-felt and definitely from the heart and soul. But that was Pavarotti!
It goes to show that perfect music, whether you know the words or not, will let you feel the sorrow, the joy, the love and hate. and stuff lol. Also, not everyone can feel opera. You either Love it or hate it.
Such a haunting song. I get goosbumps every time I hear his voice, your right it does make you feel the music. One of the most amazing voices ever to have graced us. I want to cry every time I hear it.
Its time for you to do another reaction to Pavarotti - You need to see him do an aria in his opera days. Try "E lucevcan le stelle" from the opera Tosca recorded in 1978. He plays a man who has been tortured and is about to face the firing squad. He sings of his love for Tosca and his approaching death. You can actually see tears in his eyes. I defy you not to cry. It is on RUclips and has english captions.
This is the reaction i was hoping for , don't worry this song make everyone tear a little bit , thank you so much for this and see you the next video , ^-^
Thank you for your genuine and heartfelt reactions. I am a classically trained vocalist and I love Pavarotti so much. You described it perfectly - his performances touch our souls. Best of luck from a fellow reactor. God bless you, friend.
Hi Jay, nice to see you discuss opera! As you say, more people should get into it, there is so much beauty and consolation in it. Humor as well btw, there are so many different emotions portayed in the genre. I think you speak to a generation that hasnt had the luck yet to understand or hear the beauty of it, so thanks for that. Spread the word. Art IS important. Another song which is much loved and performed by Pavarotti is 'Una furtiva lacrima'. Youll love that too, I think. 😃 Greetings from the Netherlands!
@@vaidisk no one can touch pavarotti, you hear someone and they are good then, you listen to him and the color and breadth and depth of his voice, is just untouchable, like there will never be another pavarotti.
pavarotti, simply one of the best voices in human history
You are more then welcome, to say that again. Fabulous.
For me, he’s the best
In opera yes but there’s are a lot great singers
@@cristianv1078 like who.? Ahhaha
The best ever
Man,I have SO much respect for you for even giving this song a chance x

@@yeliangarcia4623 absolutely, this music is a privilege to listen to. It’s entirely gorgeous. It makes you feel small in an enormous world.

How can I press the heart button, not just the like button for this comment. Out of the mouths of babes comes the truth.
YOU SOLD ME. I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL IN MY LIFE!!!!
He made opera mainstream back in the day. Kids in the 70’s knew his name and songs. Edit: The Three Tenors.. worth a look too.
I was thinking the same... The Three Tenors
Not only the 70’s , they were pretty well known mainstream through the 90’s too
Dude!!!! Isnt it life changing?! He was a legend
Yes, he does. He doesn't just sing song he becomes the character in the song. That is what Opera is about not just incredible vocalization but characterization. Actor as well as singer. That's why the train for 12 or 15 years to become and opera performer and train steadily their entire lives to be able to perform like that. Tremendous talent combined with tremendous effort.
This is not an operatic song. It is a pop song from 1986 by the great Lucio Dalla, who died in 2012.
@@cush6827 its not really a pop song its known as bel canto meaning beautiful singing
This song is not opera, but one of the many success from an italian contemporary singer (Lucio Dalla), one of the top level. Pavarotti, used to do that, cover of contemporary songs with the aim to get young people close to opera
Your ears have been opened up to real music. Enjoy the journey
Could not agree more.
His heart too. ♥️😊
Pavarotti could sing the phone book and make you melt
I'm so glad you like Pavarotti . I'm italian and we all growing up with this wonderful music and artists like him ....i feel me very proud.

Pavarotti is the best ,
Pavarotti's voice was trained & expanded like a precious instrument over many many years.
Best tenor ever ❤
Your face is as expressive as Pavarotti's singing.
his manager Herbert Breslin, said he got goosebumps EVERY time he heard him sing, Every time, even after listening to him for 30 years or so.
The best ever
He touches your soul. Beautiful voice with so much emotion.
Who cares what hes singing about this is just fabulous one of the best tenors ever have you heard him with the king of soul James brown its amazing

You will never go to an opera especially Italian opera without looking around and seeing everyone in tears because it evokes such Emotion by Design
If you think this performance is expressive and dramatic, you should watch him perform Pagliacci. There are a couple of videos of these performances on RUclips. I got to see him perform it live back in the 80s, and I unashamedly cried right there in the theater for everyone to see!
Definitely. Might also look into a subscription to Met on Demand
I'm so jealous. I wanted to see him for so long and he passed before I ever got the chance. Last time we were in NJ, I wanted to get in to see La Traviata at the met, tickets were fairly reasonable but just couldn't make it happen. Maybe next time.
Jealous too . And I am sure you were not the only one crying . He , Placido and Jose always got standing ovations after their parts
Again, he sings all bets are off, can't be beaten. I am so thankful, my father exposed me, too these masterpieces at age 4 or 5. Glad you have developed a love for opera.
He was part of our italian pride!
Thanks for this video
ciao! From Venice, Italy ;-)
What a powerful voice and beautiful performance. Thank you for reacting to this.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece with us in this time of turmoil. Pavarotti’s voice can move all of us!
My God this is outstanding truly Pavarotti sang like an angel
It's me again lol. I'm so thrilled that you enjoy Pavarotti just as much as I do. I know he's looking down at you smiling knowing that you love his music. He sang from the heart ❤
True that! A voice from heaven. Thank you.
I absolutely love Pavarotti best Tenor ever but dare I say when it comes to singing Caruso Lara Fabian is fantastic, makes me cry every time.
He had a FANTASTIC voice. Please please please also go listen at Lara Fabian singing this song live. She is amazing.
Caruso, Enrico (Born 1873) was an Italian operatic tenor. He sang to great acclaim at the major opera houses of Europe and the Americas. Another amazing voice
IKR?!!! Pavarotti! Whatever he sells, I always buy. ALWAYS! 💖💖💖
This music is timeless 🎼
What’s wonderful about Pavarotti is that you may forget his music for a while and when you hear it again, it still hits your soul with the same intensity.
I'm so so happy that you listened to Caruso by Pavarotti I knew you would tear up I did too the first time I heard it .It touches you somewhere deep inside .Keep up listening as you have a good ear for fine music .
His daughter told him he should sing this song. It so suits his voice.
Lucio Dalla was a poetic singer and Pavarotti was his friend. Fantastic song
I was lucky enough to be able to go to one of his love opera and I literally could feel his voice coming from everywhere in the theatre and I could feel him under “my skin” and resonate all over the place. This was was a legend
Anyone can sing a song but when Pavarotti sang, he meant it. He was telling you how he felt. You want to comfort him because you can feel his pain.
Thank you for reacting to classical/operatic music. Luciano Pavarotti is a wonderful artist, one of his songs which truly shows his acting ability is una furtiva lacrima.
What a BEAUTIFUL voice
So much joy from watching this. Music does make life worth living
You've got to react to Pavarotti and Bocelli duet....AWESOME!!!
It's okay to cry when the music is this beautiful ;)
You have a beautiful soul my friend, I'm italian and is so beautiful to see your reaction with something that means a lot to us, like it is the Maestro Pavarotti, thanks

Bless you. We could all see you fighting the tears. Music has this power to touch us and remind us of the soul and heart we all have.
Just had to say your reaction was great you can't help but feel when hear him. Ava maria is so beautiful to. Just amazing. 😊😊💖

Pavarotti singing seems to penetrate my chest! and holds my breath tightly!
Amazing I could listen to him all day soooooooooo happy you did this Jay. Love love it 😊😊💖
Pavarotti had a way to make everyone feel the emotions behind the words. For me, no other has been able to do that as well.
Breaks me every time.
Pavarotti was proof that music, is a universal language understood everywhere.
Most strong and beautiful voice ever !!! Rip legend
Another great reaction. You’ll listening to the best here. So powerful voices

Dude you rock. I love seeing people react to this type of music. Big love from Australia
the beautiful thing about music, and this stuff in particular is, imo, that you don't even need to know the lyrics to FEEL IT.
As a classical musician, there is a saying "If it could be explained we wouldn't need the music!" Words can only go so far.
Classical music, is touching your soul.
Hey man. You just realized Luciano was one of the best tenor ever. 4 octaves with power, fingers in the nose, that's it.
This is the reaction i was hoping for , don't worry this song make everyone tear a little bit , thank you so much for this and see you the next video , ^-^
A great singer gone too soon!
So glad you decided to do a reaction to this stunning track, a logical progression after Nessun Norma.
I CRIED.
thank you for sharing your joy with us, when you share something wonderful, its like giving a gift to your followers. thanks again
Lots of people can sing the notes, but an artist sings the music and meaning.
Love love love your reaction,it tells me a lot about you,you know they say he was a cathedral sound x
crying is no shame.
crying means, that at this moment, you feel more, than your heart can handle.

When the Pava sings, we listen..
Not understanding the language makes me hang on every note. I love the high notes. It gives me the chills. 😊
An understanding of the lyrics only makes it all the more powerful
You must listen to
Andrea Bocelli
"Con Te Partilo"
He's blind and has a voice that will move right through your body
Somehow Bocelli doesn't give me the excitement Pavarotti does...
* con te partiRò
yeah Bocelli is great but none will ever be like Luciano. his voice is not human
Bocelli is good, but he's NO Pavarotti!
Bocelli is a lightweight.
@@vaidisk no one can touch pavarotti, you hear someone and they are good then, you listen to him and the color and breadth and depth of his voice, is just untouchable, like there will never be another pavarotti.
He has raw talent
He started out with raw talent, then had the training and practice to take his voice to heights most tenors can only wish for.
Bravo!!!! Hai visto il testo della canzone....il testo è essenziale per capire! Bravo!!!
One of the greatest voices in hustory
You are beyond incredible,so honest so pure,lots of love fro Ireland,I love how open minded you are x
Incredible that reactors are finally spreading out from the popular genres
You don't have to understand a word of Italian, you simply let the music "take you on the journey"
Pavarotti è un'anima bellissima.
You got tear eyed,,,,,,,,,,Now you get get it friend
simply awesome!! 👍 ...as u said - that needs more than a clap!!!
