    When Pavarotti demonstrates you can just feel the different league. How can such a quiet, simple passage be performed so beautifully? The delicacy, sensitivity, ease, purity, lyricism... wow. What a miracle of a voice.

      This passage is, in my humble opinion, one of the most moving moments in opera history. La Boheme is a very heartfelt work and many people find themselves crying at the finale, but I always cry during this small aria...

    I am not a singer, and do not read notes. However, It is the "feeling" in the voice that makes the difference. Pavarotti, has a massive chest area. Also a larger head, than average. I have bought all of his concerts and operas. Nobody else. Because his voice will live forever. He becomes the "character" he is playing. So beautiful.

    Pavarotti was able to really convey the message and the feeling with the piece. The voice is clear, Italian his native language. Decise and dramatic, still melanchonic and light, recitato. Dynamics at their best, listen: "Ai ricchi ed ai potenti"... I'm impressed how much far he still remains from almost everyone else.

    Amazing. Briggs' tone was beautiful. Pavarotti's rendition was so poignant - even brought tears to my eyes, despite the fact that he was singing barely above a whisper and as a bass, rather than a tenor. We lost two great talents with their deaths.

  • @melaD333
    @melaD333 3 года назад +5

    First I’m not sure my heart could have taken Pavarotti signing that while looking directly into my eyes… but his instruction was so brilliant. The feel and emotion between the two performances was night and day. The first felt like a display of his vocal talent the second like a man mourning. Of course Pavarotti’s was my favorite but that’s a given… 😂

    • @SarahRoubato
      @SarahRoubato 6 месяцев назад

      you are harsh on Briggs, we can see that Pavarotti truly loves what he hears. His performance was not devoid of feelings at all. Had you just heard it without watching you would not have said that I think. But he certainly lacked nuances of being light / heavy and the famous legato of the tradition of belcanto which Pavarotti talks about. Pavarotti's interpretation is a miracle, but Briggs' (who won Pavarotti Prize) is not a display of his vocal talent.

    I think you are right- if I knew it , I have no doubt at all that Pavarotti knew it, he studied for his art for many years, an dby this stage had been a professional for 20 years at least. He says 'must be considered, in my opinion, bel canto'- he is aware this is an unusual view, obviously. Some would prefer to think he was just lucky to be born with that voice but I think the life of study is evident, and just as admirable as the natural gift.

    Briggs sings this perfectly, with a pure emission of sound which is exemplary.
    Pavarotti makes a suggestion of legato which is helpful, but basically leaves the rest of the bass’s singing alone as there is really nothing left for him to critique.
    ( I was told the same thing when I sang for the tenor during an audition… something that Pavarotti encouraged all singers to emphasize as he considered himself a singer of legato, not just a singer of high notes as everyone usually used to refer to him …‘ king of the high c’s moniker was not really appropriate)

    You opera queens make me laugh. To suggest that Pavarotti didn't know Puccini was a romantic composer is absolutely ridiculous. Bel canto is a style of singing, not just a period in classical music history. You're trying to prove how smart you are by throwing mud into the conversation. Abraham Lincoln said "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Good advice for you.
    Pavarotti is the best!

    • @olivierkeegel
      @olivierkeegel 4 года назад +5

      @@ittellir3800 Puccini is certainley not a "verista" in the true sense of the word. The "standard"veris mo opera is Mascagni's Cavelleria rusticana. Leoncavallo's Pagliacci as well. And, true, Puccini's Il tabarro can be characterized as verismo. As, before, also Carmen could be considered veristic: workers in a factory, but there is also the "exotic," romantic world of smugglers.
      Puccini's La Bohème is more romantic than veristic. These lives are romanticised. Madama Butterfly exists in a very exotic an glamorous setting.

      STV TRANSLATIONS I know, but if you take tosca, the the use of the speaking voice and the themes is a lot verista, that’s why studying Music History he is with Mascagni and Leoncavallo, even if he is a lot different the main reason he is with them is because of the themes

But I agree that lower voice types are unfairly in the shadow sometimes. I myself am a baritone (not professional though.) haha

    He probable will say that Bellini is a Verismo composer, just to keep his consistency on this theme. Although he commited a blooper, I think you're exagerating a bit. He was neither mechanical or clueless about the words.His performances from the 70's speak for themselves.

    Agree and disagree on you. Yes, singing full aria it wasn't necessary with this great bass. Singing a couple of lines would be more than enough. But I gotta admit he was a bit spot on. Using legato makes it sound more melancholical than serious. And yes, the bass guy sings it so much better. What a pitty that this beautiful and rich bass voice got lost.

It would be like a 100m athlet being stoped for each meter and be corrected.Ok, maybe I'm misdjudging his way of directing the masterclasses,but I kinda saw it this way.
