Some people seem to have an issue with whether Pavarotti could read music or not. Whether he could read music or not is not the point. He COULD SING! And he knew HOW better than most. And that is what he’s teaching these young singers. Throughout history, we have had genius artists and people in every field who have had a gift and talent that was completely independent of formal academic training, yet they did it better and more naturally than people with degrees and “training”. Music goes beyong what is written on a score, beyong notes on a page. Pavarotti was able to convey that, whether he could read music or not. He touched people in a way that cannot be taught in a classroom or by any training. He had a gift from above. Being able to read music or not has nothing to do with it. He’s trying to share his gift, not just as a singer, but as a messenger of the beauty and power intended by those composers, and for that we are thankful.
Yeah, Pavarotti used the term “controlling the diaphragm,” but was referring abdominal muscles. However, it is to do that since it is part of the parasympathetic nervous system.
@danielhughes441 I am sorry but that is not true. If you inhale without expanding the chest, it is done by contraction of the diaphragm, which is the major inspiration mechanism. The diaphragm is innervated by Nervus phrenicus, a motor nerve and you can control the diaphragm deliberately. All the abdominal muscles can force the exspiration but cannot cause inspiration. For the western classical style of singing it is essential to hold the diaphragm in the inspiration mode while the phonation is done by exspiration, to balance out the pressure at the vocal cords. I think that could be a simplified explanation of the diaphragm control.
what a fantastic video! Having spent most of my career as a musician in the field of early music and historical informed performance I have long had reservations about Pavarotti. the arrogance of youth! Luckily that phase is long over and I realize what a genius this man was - and a fantastic listener. I was lucky enough to see him in his hometown of Modena in 1994. we performed Handel's Messiah with a small professional chamber choir, great soloists and an orchestra of period instruments. when we entered the stage we were all pretty shocked because who was sitting in the front row and beaming at us? the master himself, Luciano Pavarotti! I swear we probably never sang better and more inspired than that night. We just didn't want to disappoint him! 😊😊😊
I don’t think he has to worry about his teaching. Can you imagine standing there taking tips from Pavarotti. I know nothing of singing and can see the immediate impact his advice has on these students. Simply incredible to see!
So incredibly important material for future vocalist .. hope the new generation will keep it alive.. in this Wild world of 2023 ?? Should bring peace on earth.
My dear Lord above‼️‼️ Just to have possessed the bravery to sing in the presence of Lord Pavarotti was an accomplishment all on its own! What an ABSOLUTE honor to have had the opportunity to have been briefly and Oh' so delicately coached only by the Greatest Of All Time ! ❤ This, ladies and gents, is a priceless gem💎 ... a musical treasure by far. Bravísimo‼️‼️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We have the most phenomenal, informative, diamond, insane video in the whole voice universe and its watched 25 000 times now ?!?!?! I cannot believe how much information is there in the internet and everyone is watching more videos like:.. ,,Easy tricks for singers'' ,,How to sing better in one day!!!'' and such but not so much people are searching for videos like this! This video (and not so much on the internet) is absolute tresure! I feel lucky finding this and learning so much from 2:40:00 video! I hope everyone understand how great this video is! Happy singing everyone! We are blessed with this! 😇👍🪐🌟🎼
My all time favorite tenor, so phenomenal, inspiring and obviously the best voice trainer I have ever listened to.....may his soul continue to RIP...❤❤👌👌
The Great MASTER Luciano PAVAROTTI ... like a renowned diamond polisher leaves his mark on some "gems" that have not yet reached their true value, touches them with his kind lessons accumulated over decades of his work, shares them from his experience acquired in decades of his performances all over the world... and at the end he sincerely enjoyed the happiness of each performer who had just been transformed (without knowing it) into a BRILLIANT Diamond.
Thank you for this video! I was a student in the audience during his 1987 Master Class at Juilliard. Unfortunately, that one started with an explosion outside as the dormitory was being built. Maestro flew into the air with a pirouette landing and walking off stage before the president of the school rushed to his knees in front of him and begged him to stay. Rather unforgettable start to a memorable teaching.
No, it's not the best tenor. There were many of them, and each of the great tenors left many legends and memoirs of his contemporaries, which they rightfully deserve. Povarotti is our contemporary, he showed what can be achieved with diligence and talent, he is one of those who did not let the real bel canto blow out the candle in our time, in which there are too many mediocrities who have made art only a business.
I can't stop listening to the instruction Pavarotti gave to the first guy, I listened him singing that song but still that instruction sounds different
I will say -- I saw Pavarotti sing "Per la gloria" at the Masterclass he did in early 1979 (Jan/Feb?) at Julliard. Completely different song than I'd ever heard among all my school mates in college...Lolol A whole new respect for those songs ---- Never Mind hearing him coaching the Singers!!! I remember working with a tenor on E lucevan -- and his descriptions of how to sing "e muio disperato" with all this "frontal focus"/tenor ping" has stuck with me 45 years later!
You can tell that when he realizes a student isn’t listening, he quickly says goodbye and moves on, which is honestly the mark of a wise teacher in this particular scenario. When you only have such a limited time with them as you do in a masterclass setting, you can’t waste it by begging them to do something they can’t grasp. A pity when some of them are really talented and can really improve with such tips, like that Baritone Roberto Briggs singing “Infelice” from Ernani who really would have put on an outstanding voice if he matched a shorter, angrier, much faster and more furious recitative to what was already a luscious and beautifully sung aria. So he let him try one more time, but then said “Ciao”. But that’s not such a bad thing. Roberto was so good, he could easily make a name for himself like Tonio di Paulo and improve later in his real classes. And he did. He became and award-winning Baritone! That’s why I looked him up and I was so sad to see that he died from complications from AIDS at such a young age of 38. The world lost a true talent that day.
Soo good at 1:16:00, Vecchia Zimarra. It comes so natural to him. And it wasnt even his role as this aria is meant for bass (Colline) as opposed to Rodolpho no?? Can someone enlighten me
Todos cantaron hermosisimo pero en particular me gustó mucho Bryan SEC Snider. Yo no sé si actualmente triunfaron en la opera o no, sería cuestión de buscar en RUclips. Hay muchos famosos que cantan bonito pero estos alumnos no se quedan nada atrás.
1:32:20 파바로티 처럼 노래 부르기전에 뭔가를 하지말고 바로 노래 부를수 있게끔 훈련하자. 난 노래 부르기전 동작과 숨 쉬는게 너무 커 2:34:52 (이사람도 뭔가를 하지 않고 소리를 내 이렇게 되게끔 훈련! 재밌겠다😁) 2:12:22 소리를 커버링해서 그때 쉬고 쉬었으니 그다음 고음올라갈때 점프하는 느낌으로 쉽게 올릴수 있다?
there is sooooooooo much more that goes into it besides the singing.........its a soundtrack to a movie - everything that happens within the story has to be analyzed and translated to the technical aspect of how it's sung............very complex and difficult.
Di Provenza il mar, il suol - chi dal cor ti cancello? Al natio fulgente sol - qual destino ti furò? Oh, rammenta pur nel duol - ch'ivi gioia a te brillò; E che pace colà sol - su te splendere ancor può. Dio mi guidò! Ah! il tuo vecchio genitor - tu non sai quanto soffrì Te lontano, di squallor il suo tetto si coprì Ma se alfin ti trovo ancor, - se in me speme non fallì, Se la voce dell'onor - in te appien non ammutì, Dio m'esaudì!
Interesting that he advises against vertical opening of the mouth. As his earliest clips show, he himself used the long vertical opening at the start of his career but at some point changed to the horizontal.
My favorites to sing from there are Se tu m'ami, and Sebben crudele Favorite lyrics? Nel cor Mi pizzichi, mi stuzzichi Mi pungichi, mi mastichi "You pinch me, you tease me You sting, you Bite me!" But --- Such a pretty melody!!! 😊😊😊
Can anyone tell me when this Video was made???1980's??? Thank you for putting it out on RUclips ❤Opera should be kept as a Tradition! I remember Maria Callas as a Wonderful teacher and performer. I have sung Tosca in various Theaters in Italy and know what
The first guy when Pavarotti gave him some instructions how to make it better, I didn't really see him making it better but Pavarotti said bravo, is it just me who didn't see much of a difference? as for Pavarotti's demonstration I have no words it was purely angelic
the first time he sings the second half too fast to deliver that desperation of the character. the second time you can really feel it. you can watch pavarotti himself sings 'e lucevan le stelle' (in case you don't know the name of the aria) and compare.
No hay cambio realmente, un gran maestro fue Alfredo Kraus, el cuando notaba algo paraba y te decía esto aquí esto aya, y luego el alumno lo iba corregía sin problemas si algo estaba mal te lo decía, creo que Pavarotti debía a verlo dicho de errores se aprende
When I view this, I try to put myself into the position of the Master Class participants. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in physics. I imagine the trepidation I would experience if I were to present before the pinnacle of physics theory: Einstein, or the pinnacle of pedagogy: Feynman. Would I have been able to perform? I'm certain, that - if I had been able to keep my s*@t together, and if I were to have performed as well as these Master candidates, I would have taken the input from the assessments and would forever pursue my dreams without limit!

this video is a pure gold
I learnt how to control my diaphragm from this video. He truly was a master of his craft.
Could you explain me how to control It please?
You can't really; it's passive when exhaling.
Yeah, Pavarotti used the term “controlling the diaphragm,” but was referring abdominal muscles. However, it is to do that since it is part of the parasympathetic nervous system.
@danielhughes441 I am sorry but that is not true. If you inhale without expanding the chest, it is done by contraction of the diaphragm, which is the major inspiration mechanism.

Thank you
The face of the first student as he walks off is more rewarding than any fee
What a professional, he took this gig seriously.👌
The students are fantastic as well. I would pay to hear some of them sing.

Thank you for sharing your touching story.
I've been trying to learn singing for like 5 years and I always sucked, when I started listening to opera I started understanding singing better
What a smooth, fine person.
The second singer, Susanne Mentzer, actually became well known, not only as a singer but later as a voice teacher.
Thanks. Anything about others? It would be noce to hear them "grown"
I don’t think he has to worry about his teaching. Can you imagine standing there taking tips from Pavarotti. I know nothing of singing and can see the immediate impact his advice has on these students. Simply incredible to see!
I’m a tenor for my church choir, I’m still learning and I ran into this video, I’m trying to learn more techniques, I’m glad I ran into this Video
What a treasure this video! Millions of thanks to Enrique A. for uploading it
Incredible how humble he was. What an inspiration.
So incredibly important material for future vocalist .. hope the new generation will keep it alive.. in this Wild world of 2023 ?? Should bring peace on earth.
GENIUS, and a very lovely one.
5:27.. omg, so amazing..
5:50 even with ….taaataaam taaatam papaaaaaarrraaaam,,,,,he is amaizing
This is gold!

I had the absolute privilege of seeing Luciano live, arguably the greatest R.I.P.
At 28:24 is Alteouise De Vaughn. She is my singing teacher - she is amazing. Her son is Justin Michael Austin, a well known baritone and rising star.
Лючиано Поворотти, - величайший мастер прекрасного оперного пения современности❤.
The automatic subtitles in the intro render "von Karajan" as "van carry on"! 😄😆

What caused the explosion???
I do so thankful from the bottom of my heart to find this Video...It's such a blessing for me...
One of if not THE BEST tenor this world of ours will EVER see and hear. And i'm a singer and tenor myself.
No, it's not the best tenor. There were many of them, and each of the great tenors left many legends and memoirs of his contemporaries, which they rightfully deserve.

Grande PAVAROTTI
@1h.33m Pavarotti's explanation is on repeat ❤ anyone else? Beautiful talent all together!
This guy is on my Mount Rushmore of humans
Grazie mille!!!!
1:16:07 breaking my heart
Bellissimo questo programma!! ❤ felicissima di averlo scoperto
Gracias ❤ Y gracias al maestro Pavarotti !!!
Magnificent
Most charismatic guy ever
21:40 - 23:45 Diaphragm. My Mom said Joan Sutherland helped Pav perfect his diction and other stuff. She was a huge influence for him.
John Wustman rlly played over 2 and a half hours of arias, what a legend
Yeah but you can hear it... all played the same, quite awful
Amazingly hard to do this and starting at some randome place in the music on request, no mistakes etc!
So great!!!
Rest in peace, maestro...
😢😢😢
Eu gostaria muito de ter participado duma masterclass dessas!
Eu também!
What a gem of a human being ❤️
It's hard to feel without undergoing the agony of passion like how Maestro can.
Absolutely incredible✨🙏✨

....sorry for gushing all over your post --- just So many wonderful memories connected to that book
Love watching with subtitles
RUclips subtitles:
Pavarotti: “Do not move your Mom, ok?”
😂😂😂😂
Todos cantaron hermosisimo pero en particular me gustó mucho Bryan SEC Snider. Yo no sé si actualmente triunfaron en la opera o no, sería cuestión de buscar en RUclips. Hay muchos famosos que cantan bonito pero estos alumnos no se quedan nada atrás.
Tenor Jung's performance is so amazing.
1:32:20 파바로티 처럼 노래 부르기전에 뭔가를 하지말고 바로 노래 부를수 있게끔 훈련하자. 난 노래 부르기전 동작과 숨 쉬는게 너무 커
2:34:52 (이사람도 뭔가를 하지 않고 소리를 내 이렇게 되게끔 훈련! 재밌겠다😁)
2:12:22 소리를 커버링해서 그때 쉬고 쉬었으니 그다음 고음올라갈때 점프하는 느낌으로 쉽게 올릴수 있다?
Fantastic Video !
Thank you !
Pavarotti war ein ganz, ganz toller Mann !!! Mit einer Stimme wie es sie kein zweites Mal gibt!!! 🥰🥰🥰
How wonderful to see how his mind works!!
Pavarotti and Sinatra were the best singers the world has ever known, that we know of
Maravilloso! Gracias 👏👏👏
there is sooooooooo much more that goes into it besides the singing.........its a soundtrack to a movie - everything that happens within the story has to be analyzed and translated to the technical aspect of how it's sung............very complex and difficult.
I was there!
Di Provenza il mar, il suol - chi dal cor ti cancello?
Al natio fulgente sol - qual destino ti furò?
Oh, rammenta pur nel duol - ch'ivi gioia a te brillò;
E che pace colà sol - su te splendere ancor può.
Dio mi guidò!
Ah! il tuo vecchio genitor - tu non sai quanto soffrì
Te lontano, di squallor il suo tetto si coprì
Ma se alfin ti trovo ancor, - se in me speme non fallì,
Se la voce dell'onor - in te appien non ammutì,
Dio m'esaudì!
*_1:21:06_**_ I like this part_*
5:36 - 7:03 OMG can you FEEL the anguish?!
thank you for your genius!
Pavarotti grande mestre
Interesting that he advises against vertical opening of the mouth. As his earliest clips show, he himself used the long vertical opening at the start of his career but at some point changed to the horizontal.
Who is on 1:36:44? Touched my heart, so beautiful singing.
My favorites to sing from there are Se tu m'ami, and Sebben crudele
Favorite lyrics? Nel cor
Mi pizzichi, mi stuzzichi
Mi pungichi, mi mastichi
"You pinch me, you tease me
You sting, you Bite me!"
But --- Such a pretty melody!!!
😊😊😊
Ух!❤
Shame about the sound, seems to be fight between the pianist and the performer. Great video, love Pavorotti and his humour.
Someone could tell me where is, or what happend to, Ronit Kalisky? What a amazing voice!
I was also wondering. I can not find any info about her...
man yall are bad at searching. she's in jersey now, she did a few operas in seattle and new york
1:04:40 Muito bom, Zehava Gal! 👏👏
Roberts piece I’ve sung once
Min 5:50 is absolutely amazingly insane!
Superb.
If I were singing in that class I probably would have shit myself out of nervousness
How he did all of this without ever learning to read music is astonishing.
What does reading music have to do with FEELING & HEARING music???
I suspect he really could read music. Probably an urban myth!
The greatest of the history. ❤
Of course he could read music!! How the hell can u believe one can sing in an orchestra without even being able to read a spartito?
Lucky guys students never meet again god of the tenor
Lo zoti con il vocion
Can anyone tell if those students had a career and in case in which orchestra? I would like to hear them "grown".
Furchtbare Tonqualität 😂 aber gut, das war die Zeit. Tolles Video
Erstes Kommentar von einem deutschen und direkt am motzen..typisch 🤦🏻♂️

The Mastercass took place in January 1979 at the Juilliard School in New York City. Aired on tv in Feb 6,1980.
Wow.Thank you!That's one year ahead before I won a scholarship at the Dame Nellie Melba Conservatorium Australia/Melbourne!

Para gustos y colores...
