Anyone else watching random Italian Opera compilations in the middle of the night? Me too.
5:50 Am here lol
@Attaraxis Music 1:20 AM here
Me it's 12:39am now🤣🤣🤣
Me too
After watching Aretha Franklin sing it!
Damn Pavarotti could hold a note longer than I could a job
😂
@vann tedd Yes Mario Lanza is the most didactic of the italian method of singing !
Roger Yaeche yes, Lanza was Pavarotti‘s idol. He said he learned much by listening to Lanza’s recordings.
This hit too close to home 💸
Good one buddy!!
I'm watching all these amazing tenors, and then Michael Bolton out if no where nearly made me spit out my drink 😂
Same 😂😂😂 Gotta love YT sometimes
Me too. Can’t stop laughing- love Bolton. But come on!not with these!
Oh plz. Then Aretha😂😂
And Aretha Franklin 😩
Him and Aretha HAHAHAHA
Jussi Björling was one the greatest tenors of the 20th century and was greatly admired by Pavarotti. His musicianship, beautiful, clear tone and ease of delivery in the upper register counts him as the one of the greatest exponents of this famous aria. His slow rendition is awe inspiring.
In my interview sessions with him, Pavarotti said that the careers of two tenors-Jussi Bjoerling, a Swede, and Richard Tucker, an American-proved that a tenor did not have to be Italian to sing verismo roles.
They were all great in their own way , but Pavarotti is the one in my ears !
Jessi Bjorling, Kaufman and Pavarotti.
You could hear it in this review … but still love Luciano, he was the first I ever hear sing this
jussi also great
I'm surprised my rendition in the shower wasn't included here.
I agree i can crack the tiles, break the windows and make the neighbourhood dogs think there is a thunderstorm!!
@@greyhairedphantom4038 You fart the Nessun Dorma?
I did it in my old house too. All it serves to do was confuse and annoy my dog
It was there and I saw it😂😂😂
@@greyhairedphantom4038 i know who you are, and i heard what you did.....
The question should have been "Who sang it best AFTER Pavarotti?
Exactly! My second fav is Kaufmann!
Il Volo. Paul Pots
Jussi Bjorling--but NOT in this recording.
I agree Lisa, there has never been a voice like Pavarotti and may never be again. So after Luciano I will go with Jussi Bjorling, Mario Lanza and Kaufmann. I thought Kaufman was outstanding but being a neophyte when it comes to Opra, I haven't heard enough of him to make a good judgement.
Domingo and Corelli sing even better than pavarotti did...
Pavarotti had the power and heart to the song...RIP kind Sir....your voice will go on forever.❤
Was privileged to see Three Tenors at the Meadowlands in NJ-- Pavarotti brought chills & tears to my eyes - no one like him ❤
Yes, me too. I could cry ,whenever I will listen to him.
For raw feeliing, Pavarotti and Lanza. Those guys would send chills up your spine. Jussi B is probably the greatest technician.
I saw this post, registered for college, graduated, came back to this post and Pavarotti was still holding that note...🙌🏿
👍🤣🤣🤣
LOL
lmao
No lie.
Joyce Mandi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of Pavarotti's last public performances was singing Nessum Dorma at the Olympics in Italy. He was old and in pain with pancreatic cancer and still sounded better than the rest! RIP Maestro Supremo. Unequalled. Most likely never will be.
Spoiler alert: that was pre recorded the night before as it was freezing at nights and he couldn't keep his voicebox warm on those cold nights. The video however made me cry.
Fanco Correli might have been better. Tough call between the two.
Probably my favourite version as well !
@@yamanmustafa7574 That's not a spoiler alert.
God given tenor. No one will surpass him
Pavarotti for sure. Then for me Mario Lanza. These were the two that made me feel it and believe the HEART was singing that it had victory, not just the "head" saying yay I won! Though honestly? I have heard a better Pavarotti version than the one from the film he did that you had here or from the Three Tenors.
Lanza was GREAT!
Without any doubt Maestro Luciano Pavarotti! In his rendition I am always in tears.
A human wasn't meant to hear that climax over and over again. Emotionally draining, lol
Hahahaha :-) Yes.
Ran out of breath, too😉?
I ended up crying all night after watching this...
You are so right.
Im watching one performance a day Dont want to make it lackluster in future
Pavarotti: "Hold my beer."
No, hold my polenta!
And the Internet Award of the century goes to this guy ^^^^
Pavarotti es el mejor.
Chris, that is the funniest thing I have seen on yt in a long time, if not ever.
chrisjaybeckers comment. Very funny.
Without a doubt- Pavarotti -- Was privileged to see The Three Tenors at the Meadowlands in NJ-- Pavarotti brought chills & tears to my eyes - no one like him and in person- magnificent. RIP to a legendary talent ❤
What a wonderful piece of art is Nessun Dorma. I've got goosebumps each time. Wonderful voices all.
There’s no contest. No one sang “Nesun Dorma” like Pavarotti. No one I’ve ever heard had quite the power of his voice. His voice was a once in a lifetime gift. I doubt we’ll ever hear another.
Pavarotti had a great lyric tenor voice, from compilation Franco Corelli had by far the most powerful tenor voice, he sang this role live most. He was a dramatic tenor.
Zenobia, lyric voices better than dramatic. Lyric voice is powerfull, HİGHEST, homogene, but dramatic voice is powerfull, dark, MİDDLE.
Bjorling, the 1944 version, is without parallel, he holds the last note for a full 10 seconds. Not the version here, when he was well past his best. He was Pavarotti's ido,l and when someone compared him to Bjorling, he replied, don't be silly, I am only human,
I agree. He held the notes for so long and easily that it just amazes me he didn’t turn blue! He held them strongly too never losing strength and control at the end. A true gift to this earth! I don’t understand the words or meaning but he sings it so beautifully you can’t help but love and appreciate him and the gift he had!
That’s Right!
Legend says that if you sing Nessun Dorma in the middle of the night, the ghost of Parrovati will appear to you and sing along with you
You promise?
...but if you sing badly, your neighbors will call the police.
@@cl5193 You have right👏👏👏👏👏
Who's parrovati?
@@vojvoda_vuk He's the greatest male opera singer ever.
Luciano Parvarotti still brings me to tears with this song. He is the only one to do so.
Absolutely true!
Lanza and Pavarotti, virtual tie. The emotion comes through vocally for both, with the slight edge going to Lanza's visually. The face says it all😎
Plot twist : pavarotti has 4 opera singers stuffed in his stomach ready to sing on command
Ohh 😂😂
Had
😄
Wahahaha
It's funny but for me italian not to much
Pavarotti could sing the phone book and give people chills. A joy and a privilege to hear.
😂
Right after Corelli and MDM.
They are ALL outstanding! This Melody is one of the best of the world. Thanks! All the singers, even RIP, in heaven❤
Majestic, all of them... Everyone in their own style and voice scale, ranging from amateur to experienced to simply sublime... How does such a masterpiece gets conceived? At night? During the wee hours of the day? At sunrise? What kind of circadian magic must take place for an individual as Puccini to put such a celestial and transcendental opera moment to paper...? One must be grateful for such a moment to be shared here. It's pure heaven on Earth. Puccini's heart and soul turned into vocals. You feel wonderful and alive and complete as a human right afterwards... Thank you. Thanks a lot for sharing. Mi piace.
Pavarotti attacks the highest note perfectly, he just open his mouth exactly in the perfect note, he doesn't need to prepare the backround note to the next, it's simply magical!
Exatamente isso. E não tem nada a ver com o quanto tempo ele segura. A leveza como ele sobe e desce nas melodias é que faz o diferencial pra tudo parecer um passeio único nesse "vincerò" final. O mesmo falo sobre o JONAS KAUFMANN que impõe muito poder sem precisar de lombadas entre as melodias. Mas esta música pertence ao PAVAROTTI em todos os sentidos.
Of the 3 tenors I preferred the sound of both Carreras and Domingo to Pavarotti for the pleasing sound of their voices, but there was no questioning Pavarotti's superior skills.
Concuerdo contigo!
You really understand about music 👏🏻
... what?
Pavarotti is the one that gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this. No one compares
I’m absolutely with you Evelyn, it’s Pavarotti’s aria and I even think Puccini himself would agree, when ever I hear it I have to stop what I’m doing and just be spellbound
Same here. I'm 51 now and I heard many, many versions over he decades 🤣. But only Pavarotti has this effect. Not that the others are "bad" (at least most of them are really good). But Pavarotti is the best IMHO.
Agree. He conveys the most emotion and beauty.
He is perfection. No one else comes close.
Every time!❤
They are all wonderful. It's like choosing among your children which one you love best. Deanna Durbin was a surprise.
❤
Those high notes 🎶 In such a scale are very hard even for professional singers and I congratulate each one of them:past and present singers 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵👏👏👏
Pavarotti first. Then Pavarotti and after all always Pavarotti.
There will never be another Pavarotti. Except for Domingue and Carreras, I thought Mario Lanza was surprisingly better than the other auditioners.
and pavarotti no ?
@@snowwalker9999 It was Bolton:)
clearly no one in this feed knows real Opera.......... go look at what PAVAROTTI HIMSELF has said about who's the best Opera singer.... BJORLING! HANDS DOWN
Simone Nicòtina extremely very very last is Sarah Brightman🙉
Pavarotti -- every note tried and true. A force of nature,
@Shadren Carlson r
Just goes to show countless voices of perfection!!
Totally wrong. Pavarotti cheated like heck as he got older. Compare what he sang in his latest renditions with what was written...
Reginald Jackson send an example please!!!
At the end, Pavarotti's voice weakened, and he must have performed this a thousand times, but he still kept his enthusiasm . On average Lanza may have been best, but in his prime, it was Pavarotti.
I favour the 3 tenors for dramatic impact, Placido Domingo for pzazz and Paul Potts because I'm loyal to an exceptional, home-grown, natural talent. How thrilling to watch and listen to them all - well done for such a brilliant compilation.
Paul Potts rendition is spectacular. His story is so amazing
Plácido Domingo, no solo lo canta con poderío, además actúa en el escenario como ninguno mientras lo canta. Nadie se atreve a tanto.
I was thinking that, too, he's busy acting the opera but singing like a beast. Imagine if he had a better (or better funded) production team for the opera.
Amazing singer and actor.
Pavarotti. The way he holds the high note and goes into the second level without a pause. Gives me goose bumps.
That was from a movie and his voice was augmented by the sound engineer.
@@mikelucey5035 idc
King of the high C's.
Chill bumps and makes me cry. He is the best
that black woman is digrace to opera.
Every aspiring tenor : i can sing nessun dorma Pavarotti: hold My pasta
😂😂 not the pasta 🍝
Ahahahaahahahahahah
😂😂😂
😅
😂😂😂😅🍝
Nadie como Pavarott, nadie. Voz, carisma, sentimiento, emoción que transmite y nis hace vibrar con tan maravillosa interpretación. ❤❤❤
Pavarotti is in a class by himself. We are fortunate to have these recordings.
Franco Corelli >>>>
Pavarotu was good but his not so much better. You stupid
Pavarotti for power but Lanza for lyricism.
@@shayanmardanbeigi2697 Corelli had a bigger voice and was probably a better Calaf on stage but Pavarotti had the most beautiful tenor voice of all.
Pope of dope You tell others what you are, by your comment: a sad and mean person. You can't even write well. How is that "intelligent"?
Luciano Pavarotti is the only one who sends chills up my spine. Jonas Kaufmann comes in second (no chills). Pavarotti on a bad day far surpasses anyone else on their best.
You obviously never heard Mario Lanza sing Nessun Dorma. Lanza kicks butt!
Also think Mario Lanza and Franco Corelli were pretty damn incredible
Well, yes and no. For a brief moment, Lanza was the real deal. Certainly his 1956 performance is worthy of recognition.
Yes, Kaufman was great. Aretha was good until she screamed at the end.
It’s interesting your POV that is. This is exactly what I was thinking and about to post. You know what they say “Great minds….”
I don’t understand our obsession with « the best »! Every one of these renditions is absolutely fabulous! And unique….
A lot of work goes into making these compilations. Thank you. I appreciate it and really enjoy them.
Domingo’s voice power, Kauffman’s resonance, Carreras’s dramatic power, but Pavarotti’s magnificence is top.
Kauffman is always musical. Just, Pavarotti is...near perfection in ever aspect.
Agree with you.
Since when does Kaufmann have resonance?
Domingos voice is nice but damn he totally lost the orchestra
Poor Aretha didn't give the level
Definitely, Luciano Pavarotti for me. I still get tears from his Turandot performance. It's gotta be one of the best vocal performances, ever.
Pavarotti is a poor mans Björling.
For me I’d say Andrea Bocelli, andrea has the clearest singing voice of all time while still keeping a lot of power in his tone, and i have Pavarotti to back me up on this one as he once said and i quote “if God were to have a singing voice it would just like Andrea Bocelli’s” ~ Luciano Pavarotti
Il volo is good too especially Piero
And ofc im not saying that Luciano was bad because he is by no means bad he is still one of the best just saying andrea bocelli has much better Tone Quality
yeah anybody that's male basically, sorry ladies
Wow, that was great! Thank you to the poster!! Watch the conductor on the second to last clip as he literally has the whole orchestra in suspended animation giving the singer all the time he wants before pulling them back in. That was definitely a moment for all of them.
Pavarotti , Franco Corelli , enrico caruso , these 3 are above any other tenors in recorded opera history. Hitting notes with no difficulty, full of emotions , charismatic, they have all the makings of a perfect tenor
Pavarotti hands down. There's a quality to his voice that no words can describe.
Yeah those wide and consistent vibratos do really bring the emotion out.
I agree! Strongest, clearest, most consistent!
I’m
And his tone is super unique compared to other opera singers besides his voice sounds like the same voice throughout his all range other singers can sing the same notes but the quality of the sound changes and they lose that pleasant chest voice tone
Words could describe his voice, if he were the one to speak such words…
Pavarotti's voice is like listening to a Stradivarius violin....a sound more beautiful than you have ever heard before, a sound that can not be replicated.
Thank you. You articulated that in exactly the perfect way.
You know the whole “A Stradivarius’s sound cannot be replicated and is in a higher tier than modern violins” thing is a myth right? When they did blind test, people preferred newer violins’ sounds compared to Stradivari. They also couldn’t meaningfully distinguish between the two most of the times.
@@mattkim3931 this beacuse all violins were played by differents violinist (the violin itself can't fill the tecnique of violinist), but another test where all violin were played by same violinist had complete opposit results and the old Guarnieri and Stradivari wer preferred to the new ones
The beauty can't even be described by human speech.
kzhead.info/sun/p81_h7Cnf3udrY0/bejne.html
Pavarotti and Lanza really do it for me.Pavarotti for the strength and tone of the last note and Lanza for the pure emotion he brings to that note.The electric charge down my spine never fails to elevate me to heaven.❤❤❤❤
Wow, this is so fun! Thank you for putting this together!👏🏻🎉💕
Hey dear friend,I hope you don't mind making new friends and music,you seem to be a music lover do you have any recommendations for me,I love gospel songs ...
Legend has it Pavarotti is still holding that note to this date
The Chuck Norris of Opera.
@@kgrose0219 heck yeah
he is dead and still holds on. that is commitment
@@TheJbjfan He is teaching the angels how to hold that note. RIP maestro.
Pavarotti died on the 7 September 2007 aged 71 years in Moderna Italy. R.I.P
Pavarotti: ‘hold my beer’...
*hold my note* 😂
No kidding.
you mean: Hold my chianti...I'll hold the note...
David phelps joined the group
@Marie Whitbread exept from them ofcourse
I don’t know why every time when I listen to the climax of the song I just wanna cry. I think this is the power of music.
Beautiful music and great singers should move you to tears,no shame in that
Aretha franklin's version is one of those ones where you are happy it happened and you got to hear it but at the same time happy thats not the way normal opera singers sing it
I don't think any other singer could sing Nessun Dorma the way Aretha did. I loved it!
Aretha Franklin is a gem. She's a good musician
Luciano Pavarotti's performance expressed that final cry of "Vincero" to the fullest of its meaning and passion. One unique voice singing that one word can capture one's heart forever.
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus. Romans 6:23 John 3:16
Pavarotti in his prime - he could give you goose bumps. I forgot what emotion Mario Lanza could bring to opera.
Creo que este es el comentario más adecuado.
Yes, Lanza’s reputation as an operatic tenor was diluted by his often corny screen performances, but if you listen to him with an open mind, he was in the top rank of tenors.
@@johntechwriter Completely agree. If he’d pursued Grand Opera, rather than movies, he would have been viewed as a premier tenor of all time. Still my favorite. Just listening to these clips, it’s amazing how Domingo sounded. He was phenomenal.
How many people did Lanza introduce to opera by doing movies? He died too young.
Out of the examples here, Kaufmanns is the most sonically pleasing imo, unreal
Si es impresionante pero aun así me quedo con Pavarotti
I love David Phelps and Jonas so much . They carry a special grace
Mario Lanza was a fantastic singer and did a great job. But Pavarotti owns it. I still cry when I hear him sing this along with Ave Maria. He reaches deep to your soul.
His voice can't be compared to others. It is a gift from God.
And that wasnt' even his best, really - he just shatters you when he's in top form.
Yup...Pavarotti....at the top!
even Pavarotti himself said that Jussi Bjorland sung the definitive Nessun Dorma.
I cant stop my tear..this music affectted and touched my feeling...love it so much😚
Pavarotti is a voice sent to earth from God, you can't expect anyone else to sound like heaven itself!
Not to take anything away from the master, but talking about heavenly voice, have you heard Dimash Qudaibergen's Ogni Pietra? Talk about heavenly!!! If you are not familiar with this young man from Kazakhstan, please look him up. His 6 octave range will blow your mind!
He's connected to highest power that's for sure.
@@belle1761 huh? Answer the?
@@maxwellsmart6487 😳. What is the question? 😀
When Luciano Pavarotti was compared to being in the same league as Bjorling. Pavarotti replied "Please, I'm only human"
I gotta watch this again. There are many so good..
Pavarotti is in a league of his own. But Lanza and Bjorling can hold their heads high.
Pavarotti's has an extra vibrato and depth that I can't explain. It's just the best. Paul Potts' is formidable too. Jonas Kaufmann. All of these singers have a gift and worked really hard at this. They are to be commanded.
Have you heard Jonathan Antoine? At his sold out concerts in Toronto, he stunned everyone by singing Nessun Dorma for his Encore. The audience was standing, crying, cheering and throwing Roses on the stage as he sang! People travel from all over the world to attend his concerts.
I believe it's because of that he is mostly into the meaning and the story of the song. He literally "sings" and I love that. He does not scream, does not show off, does not put his ego on the stage. He is fully dedicated to the song and the story. Plus, he has tremendous knowledge and control on his voice. I feel so lucky to be able to listen to him singing.
Pavarotti sends chills down my spine...definitely my favorite. Never heard of Kaufmann before, but he was my second choice.
I apologise to all of you but Jonas Kaufmann actually isn't a good singer as he adds a fake darkness to his voice that basically chokes his sound and makes him sound like a goat and if you want to hear good examples then Pavarotti and every singer whose photo/video was in black and white
You can not have Paul Potts in the same sentence as Pavarotti.
When Italians sing , they sing to the world!
A fabulous treat of many talented interpretations . Thank you
I won't lie to you guys, I wasn't impressed by Aretha Franklin but then she kept going and I couldn't help but tear up at her soul coming through. Wow. P.A. I too have found myself scrolling through random opera arias at midnight.
This song will always be owned by Luciano Pavarotti. Nobody can quite sing it like him. Watch the 1994 live solo of Pavarotti sing this. An absolute masterpiece.
When people ask “why opera”, I show them that exact video.
@@davidfacca8899 Oh GOD yes! I hated opera before Nessun Dorma. And then *with* Pavarotti? Tears rolled even before I understood the lyrics!
totally agree
@Roy Murphy I hear you but what about aretha franklin I mean this is the first time she ever sang opera with no practice tbh if anything she's up there with Pavarotti
@@jayt6652 I think she was marvellous, almost Pavarotti level in her own genre. But the aria belongs to Luciano alone.
Jussi Bjorling is absolutely extraordinary, his tone is unparalleled, but my favorite is Pavarotti's.
You might change your mind if you hear Bjorling's slow version where he holds the "high B" for 9 seconds! It's on KZhead.
@@drzarkov39 just heard it. Thanks for the tip. Pure gold
Both the best ever performing Nessun Dorma. Bjorling and Pavarotti are just way too above the rest.
Pavarotti owned Nessun Dorma.
Its really difficult to seperate Bjorling and Pavarotti, but i think Pavarotti just edges it for me, going from first to second phase without a pause is extraordinary.
For the Past 65 years of listening to glorious Opera Divine from all part of the OUR beautiful World ,to finally be asked who is Best among the Best is very puzzling ,How to or on what criteria It is impossible as the voice is personal and music comes from various environment and people background ,hence I vote for All the participant with modesty and great gratitude
They're all incredible. I wish I could sing quarter as good as all
1- Pavarotti 2- Pavarotti 3- Pavarotti 4- P............ 5- P............ A divine voice out of this world...
yes Pavarotti definitely nailed it. I also liked the Korean Tenor's effort.
Totally agreed
Franco Corelli
Even The Frenchman Knows
Caruso would have sang it very well.
For me the best Nessun Dorma is from Luciano Pavarotti in 1994. Gives me goosebumps every freaking time.
Seriously they were all brilliant including the old ones and the different styles! Loved the 3 tenors ❤❤❤
I also sang the climax of "Nessun dorma": kzhead.info/sun/o9uopbuocKKbkps/bejne.html
Pavarotti hands down. He "gets it". He feels it. The concert version I just watched said it all. He, himself, was overcome during and after the final Vincero. He sings "I will win" with great desire and resolve but it seems to me that underlying thought of " but will I?" comes through with the expression on his face. When Pavarotti sings he's not just singing, he's living it. It did make me happy seeing Mario Lanza. My father introduced me to opera when I was very young and he loved Mario Lanza. So do I.
How Pavarotti held that note @6:11 with such force and clarity for so long made me question the realms of possibility 😮
He said that he had to hold it to the count of 12 or the audience felt cheated. I attend and also listen to a lot of opera. I am addicted to counting now and it is not uncommon for many A - level tenors and sopranos today to reach 12 or slightly more. But there is more involved in it than just the time duration.
Once, when being compared with Bjorling, Pavarotti replied, “Please. I’m only human.”
Correct.
I thought no one could beat Pavarotti with this song but Bjorling might be the exception. Both men have phenomenal voices and I would hate to have to choose between them
Agreed. Jussi - 10 Pavarotti - 9.99
I could not agree more, Jussi is absolutely the best.
I just googled Bjorling cause he was so amazing, but no video....he died at 49...so young, made me sad to think of such grand talent lost.
Tous sont beaux avec cette interprétation de différentes variations; et que ces magnifiques. Magnificent and awesome 👏
Since watching this a few days ago, I have been watching videos of Jonas Kaufman, the German opera singer, and I have decided that (in my opinion) he actually has my vote as the best!! He has a really strong voice but there's some real texture to it as well! He's super good!!
Hey dear friend,I hope you don't mind making new friends and music,you seem to be a music lover do you have any recommendations for me,I love gospel songs ...
If pavarotti doesn't give you goosebumps, are you even alive?
Every time.. from head to toe
No I’m dead inside✌🏽
My whole spine is trembling when I hear him.
Do tears count?
Rest in peace in 1935 and 2007
Luciano Pavarotti held the last note longer and with no stress...beautiful...never can be replaced. Rest in peace sir...thank you for the splendor of your voice that will stay with us for ever.
He was the best also Domingo.Kaufman and Bjorling
The stress is there on purpose. That last line is not meant to be 'easy listening'; it's a trumpet of triumph.
@@ardalla535 Yet of all of them, only Mario Lanza actually looks as though he is triumphant at the end. ;None of the others do (and I think Luciano Pavarotti was the best but Mario Lanza had the best facial expressions to fit the music as well as a good rendition).
Absolutely!
What about the Korean guy?.. He did good..
Pavarotti. Potts came really close, as far as tone, pitch, etc. But Pavarotti. Period. Hands down. This man made me cry at 5 yrs old because of the beauty of his voice.
If only there were a recording of Enrico Caruso singing the climax we would have the complete field of completion! Johanna Maine USA
Unfortunately Caruso died before Turandot premiered.
This song belongs to Pavarotti. It always has. It always will. He owns it. He was put on this earth to sing this song better than anyone who has ever lived and who will ever live. It is his alone.
😂 there's no greater Calaf than Franco Corelli. compare Pavarotti's performance to Corelli. please listen carefully
@@potusumanbibingka I just listened to his rendition of it and he did a very good job but, no one held the high note longer than Pavarotti. This song was his masterpiece.
Actually, Mario Lanza owns this .. if not for him, Pavarotti (by his own admission) would never have studied opera.
@ No one ever held the high note longer than Pavarotti. Enrico Caruso was the inspiration for Pavarotti, I think.
Cannot be more aggrier! Stimmt ich bin dafür!!!
Bjorling really hit me in the feels. He sang it like he was only gonna be able to do it the one time. Placido nailed it as well. Pavoratti’s version is the absolute definition of perfection…
Дина Дурбин мне больше понравилась, чем Сара Брайтман, но я считаю, что эту арию должен петь мужчина
Мне нравятся Франко Корелли, Лучано Паваротти.
Careras was also among the best. It's Pavarotti 's song forever.
They used to joke that Bjorling had an extra lung !
yep.
Esto es la vida, música inmortal,te hace temblar tu corazón palpita de emoción es estoy llorando 😢 mi alma llorar gracias!!!!

Grandes estrellas de la opera como mario lanza , josè carreras o placido domingo , un desfile de ayer y hoy de excelentes voces del mundo operistico
What a great compilation ❤...loved the Bolton and Franklin cameos...opera dont discriminate 😅
Mario Lanza is splendid and very passionate
I was skeptical about Pavrotti being the best so I closed my eyes and listened to them all and the only one that gave me chills and moved my soul was Pavrotti. No joke. It's as if the song was written for him.
Cuore ingrato, that was made for him, che gelida manina, he was unique
@@mig6pie why would he write it if he couldnt perform it the best
And it wasnt even his song!!!!!
@@omarp.rawidigdo1357 he didnt write it
I did the same, with the same result, absolutely fantastic
I would say that Pavarotti was born to sing that song. Pavarotti could open up a dimensional worm hole with his voice singing Nessun Dorma .
Firstly it is not a song, it's an Aria. Secondly it is not true that Pavarotti had such a high volume voice, Corelli was certainly more powerful and dramatic.
Mr Leslie Chow was wonderful. I remember him doing karaoke in one of the hangover movies, but this was on another level.
Joseph Calleja...made me cry. Let's face it, they are ALL fabulous! WAIT..Michael Bolton was out-classed. At least he tryed! 😢
Pavarotti has that certain "ping" in his voice that makes his singing sparkle. His breath control is amazing. Notice how he makes hitting the high 'C' look and sound effortless. RIP.
Exactlyyyy
It’s not a high C. Many people think it is but they are a semitone out ;)
There is no high C in Nessun Dorma, It's a B.
Its a b
I think some people confuse it for a C because some people go sharp when they get to the B.
Pavarotti. He brings tears to my eyes every time. Unique. ❤❤❤
Jussi Björling hands down, when Pavarotti was asked about his methods he said "When I'm about to train a new opera, I first listen to how Jussi Björling did it. His voice was unique and it's his path that I want to follow. I would more than anything else wish that people compared me with Jussi Björling. It's like so I'm striving to sing.". When asked who was better, Pavarotti said "Please, I'm only human!" kzhead.info/sun/lbmbcZmxaJqkeZ8/bejne.html
Luciano Pavarotti not even debatable out of this bunch. In my opinion of course 🤷🏽♂️
I agree. Pavs was the best. Period
After Pavarotti online Rinaldo Vianna kzhead.info/sun/ldmvZ6qsjqmGjKM/bejne.html
yup. I just watched it again and pavarotti kicked everyone's butts.
Jussi börling is stunning! More intense than Pavarotti and still a clear and powerful voice.
@@guigui9344 yes I still would go for björling too, and Pavarotti. I don't wanna say one of them is better. They are both incredible.
Bloody hell I always thought Pavarotti was the best tenor and after watching this I'm confirmed right. His lung capacity.......sweet Jesus!
And he's (or was) a smoker!
Wow! I really enjoyed that, I felt every last one of them in my soul, just something about that song gives me goose bumps no matter who sing it just beautiful ❤️
Close call between Kauffman and Pavarotti. Today I give it to Kauffman. I really loved all performances, great video
