Opera fans can debate all they want about who was the better tenor of this age. Either way, the world has lost a beautiful voice. I can't listen to Pavarotti sing Puccini's Nessun dorma from Turandot without getting a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat. Puccini always does that to me.
To listen to the clip in the post directly below, you have to silence the music that's already playing on my blog (scroll down on the right and click on the left button of the Sonific box).
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero!
Vincero! Vincero!
Depart, oh night! Set, you stars!
Set, you stars! At dawn I shall win!
I shall win! I shall win!
from Nessun dorma
