  • You know music is truly great when you stop what you’re doing to give it your undivided attention. - September 11, 2022
    I put this up because I thought it was kinda sweet. I’m astonished that 2M people have seen it four months.
    People have shared some deeply personal stories in the comments below - stories of their children and grandchildren, their parents and grandparents, their love of music, their love of Pavarotti - it’s been very special to be a part of.
    Mom and I read all the comments about our little one, and the two of us thank you so much for all the kind remarks.
    Life can be pretty amazing, when you let it.

    Our granddaughter was premature (28 weeks) and in the NICU. She was fragile and We could not hold her. So I sang to her, sometimes in English, French or Italian. Her nurse who was monitoring her breathing, said that when I sang, her oxygen saturation numbers increased. The goal was 85% to have the ventilator removed. The doctor ordered a CD player for her, and we played classical vocal music, including Pavarotti. Her lungs healed! Today she is a very healthy 16 year old coloratura soprano, who sings in 5 languages. A miracle child.

      Years ago, I read about a study that showed that children who listen to opera and classical music, even while they are in the womb, turn out much smarter than children who listen to rock, rap and country. I grew up listening to rock and country, but my father also liked the Lawrence Welk show. I enjoyed the show myself, when I was a young child. Now I like classical and opera, along with my rock and country. And I try to encourage young mothers-to-be to listen to classical and opera, although I usually get a look like I have a third eye or something. You'd think they would want to do everything possible to ensure they raise an intelligent child.

      Never underestimate the power of early influences! We had a console stereo thing in the living room (we kids were not really allowed in that room back then, we had a den to watch TV, etc.). Anyway, mom listened to some "easy listening" station back in the early '60s, which included Sinatra and some pretty obscure stuff (by today's standards), and, well, it affected me years later. "There's a bluebird on my shoulder" (not Sinatra-- and the only line I remember from back then. Don't know the name of the song)). Anyway, I've had a healthy appreciation for classic stuff and some divine singing by the "Rat Pack" and others ever since. Yes: "Thanks Mom!"

That's not the case today because "reality shows" are cheaper than paying recognized singers, dancers, and orchestras. It hurts me of when I listen to music like "Theme from a Summer Place" which was popular then--that would be allowed to the place and definitely wouldn't be appreciated.

      Children can be extremely perceptive and sensitive to music. My granddaughter (6) is growing up in a happy but not particularly musical home. I was moved and intrigued to see how transfixed she was, a year ago, by Bach’s St. Matthew Passion on the television, for more than half an hour, even singing along, in her own way, with the sopranos. Some people understand the language of beauty and complex emotions from an early age.

      All music is fine. All music is good. Except for the ones that are poorly written. However, it’s quite annoying how younger people today for the most part can’t appreciate classical music or at least respect it for what it is.

      Yes, we played ALL kinds of music for our kids from Raffi to Beethoven, to Peter, Paul and Mary to Andrew Lloyd Webber. When they were pretty young we took them to see Yitzak Perlman in concert. Even though our little girl fell asleep in the second half, she still experienced the best of the best IN PERSON. Living in/near Orlando, we routinely took them to see local music productions of Broadway classics that did not cost much. So if they got restless we could leave without feeling we hadn't gotten our money's worth. We'd play the albums at home prior to the event so they were familiar with the music, and of course, played them afterward to everyone's enjoyment. Finally we would take them to Broadway touring productions -- The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables stand out as performances they and we parents will never forget. Now that little girl has grown into a 38 year old woman who manages rock concert tours, traveling the world -- Sydney Opera House, Hollywood Bowl, China, Indonesia, Europe, Mexico, etc. YOU NEVER KNOW how those early childhood experiences will affect your child in terms of lifelong interests and even a career. NOTHING you ever do for a child is wasted. NOTHING.

    This kid just gained some IQ points, besides developing a music appreciation.. Keep up the good work, mom and dad!!

    The baby's reaction is priceless. I especially loved her feet twirling around with the music!!

    I'm a great grandmother who loved this inspired music since I was very young. So smart of his parent to expose him early to music, esp classical!

    Tell me this kid won't be somebody who will do a lot of good. Anyone that captivated at that age has a heart of gold.

    I'm not a baby, but when he hits the high notes, I got shivers.

    So twenty years later, the baby becomes a famous tenor, and he gets asked, “What inspired you to become an opera singer?” He says, “I saw Luciano Pavarotti sing his famous aria Nessun Dorma from my high chair. That’s when I learned the meaning of wow!”

    At one point, when the choir was singing, and LP was about to hit crescendo part of this aria, I thought the baby was gonna cry because of how beautiful this music is. Good on you for getting the baby used to a good music early! ❤❤

      I cry when I hear that part. I can't listen to opera without becoming emotional.

    The baby was so moved by the music, that he conducted with his own little feet! 😍

      Yes, unlike dance music causing you to move your feet to the beat of the music, this operatic performance causes the baby to move his little feet in a natural conducting way.

    I was captivated as I noticed this child's breathing change with the emotion of the song.
    I took my grandson to a mall once during Cinco de Mayo. Theu had a Mariach band with a black violinist/singer belting out El Cascabel. We found a table in front of the stage. He was too, captivated by the emotion of the song. It was magical for me because I am Mecican and my little guy is mixed, blacxican. Music is the world's language we share with much emotion and joy. No boundries at all! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤😊

      I know, right. You can see it in his eyes. It wasn't just the music, it was Pavarotti's vocal changes he was reacting to. I thought he was going to cry with joy. And when he dropped his pacifier, that was it... he became a lifelong Opera lover.

    He/she seemed genuinely uplifted and certainly mesmerized. Before I knew anything about opera I realized that I absolutely had to hear the tenor voice again whenever possible.
