Wow sorry to hear that, perhaps that was why they were playing him on the local classical station this morning. It prompted me to download his rendition of "La Donna E Mobile".

Here is the "king" Luciano Pavarotti as Il Duca di Mantova in the screen movie Rigoletto (1983) singing "La Donna E Mobile".

[suegha]

He helped so many discover opera, who otherwise never would have bothered! A great influence on music.

[Rinrada]

I was at the Hyde Park Concert London in (from memory) 1991 and although it was raining ...nobody noticed ...

Wonderfull...Wonderfull..Wonder...........Arrivederci ....Maestro...RIP

How can we make this Thailand related? Did he sing in Bangkok once?

[dominique355]

Luciano Pavarotti, a child of Modena, the city which brought us "Aceto balsamico", "Nocino", Enzo Ferrari and of course "Papa Rotti" as my kids call him.

Unforgotten his "All' alba vicero" (Turandot).

Has nothing to do with Thailand, but even people in Thailand mourn one of the greatest tenors.

I live in Bangkok, and I played (trumpet) with him once. In 96 with a pick-up orchestra, that was performing for the "Three Tenors" concert. I never got within 100 feet of him, but the power and resonance of his voice is a memory I will carry with me forever.

My Thai mother in law likes him

There's a guy in Roi Et who is fatter than him.

[pitrevie]

A lousy actor but a superb voice certainly the best of my generation. Thankfully unlike many earlier tenors (where we only have poor recordings left) his recordings will live on and remind us of that fantastic voice.

[cm-happy]

what sad new & a terrible loss. no more 3 tenors albums.

How about all the people who live in Thailand including myself who loved his voice, I am sure they would like to use this forum to pay their respects..........simple really !!!

[kmart]

St Peter puts his head round the door of the Big Fella's office and says; "Lord. Here's that tenor I owe you!"

RIP Pavarotti. He got a lot of people interested in this genre of music.

Who cares. He was a wonderful performer and one that many people have got so much enjoyment out of listening to.

[JetsetBkk]

Very sad. RIP Pavarotti.

Had to dry my eyes after watching him singing "Nessun Dorma" on the news.

[Mozikillah]

I kinda had tears when he was singing "Ave Maria" on Youtube

[tutsiwarrior]

as I have said elsewhere...there is a part of contemporary music that is no longer with us...

descansa en paz Don Luciano

[Amonik]

Very sad news.... a great tenor, wonderful voice, it delight your ears and soul every time you can hear him.

Gracias y que descanses en paz.

Pavarotti and elephants can be seen performing together here. Good enough?

Ask someone to name a male opera singer: "Pavarotti!"

Ask the same person to name a second opera singer...

Thanks for the link. Pity poor Bono - shows what a total crap singer he is.

Edit:

This one's much better - pure Pavarotti, no Bono: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EwlE_qNSWLw

Yes he will be missed, very sad-

[silapin]

Very sad indeed. The end of an era.

That you tube is good. I was watching videos for hours last night.

i was there too ,my introduction to opera ,listen to him often ,most relaxing , rip

[digitele]

Besides his voice from what I've read over the years and what I've heard e.g people that worked or knew him loved him.

A class act all the way. He used to always remark how spoiled he was. He never acted like it.

I also have never heard or read that anybody had anything negative to say about him ever.

Now that's a legacy ladies and gentlemen.

I just read a good story about him on Slate.com. Check it out!

R.I.P Luciano!

[alexth]

R.I.P. That was a very sad news. One of the world's nightingale is down

[orchis]

His recordings (and those eyebrows) will be eternal,

Hmm exactly millions of people die every day in awful circumstances they never get a mention anywhere. Perhaps if he'd ate less he would have lived longer? Spare a thought for all who die each day.

There is always ONE Mr.T.....who wants to be petty...right now its Sunrise 07...

As a football fan ...he MADE the 1990 World Cup finals so SPECIAL with his rendition of Nessendoorma.

It's something that will live with me forever.

RIP...a GREAT MAN in more ways than one
