Garden Girl Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 What a gifted person... I enjoyed the "Three Tenors" CD... and his own work as well... Garden Girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigglysaint Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Oh, he did die. Last time I heard his health deteriorated. I was never an opera fan, but I am sure he will be missed. It must have been a wonderful thing to have such a great talent and share it with the world for so long. BTW, when Princess Diana died, and the Paparatzi was blamed, everybody in my family first thought it was Pavaroti. All of us were trying to figure out why an opera singer would kill the Princess of Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Elphaba Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I have felt so low today because the maestro is gone. Twenty years ago I watched the three tenors, purchased the CD, expanded my collection, and never looked back. I am a huge opera fan and it is especially because of the man with the delightful face and the huge girth which was trifling compared to his stunning, wondrous and enchanting life. I will miss him terribly.Here he is singing one of my favorites: It's Una Furtiva Lagrima written by Gaetano Donzinette Una Furtiva LagrimaFor those who love opera as I do, here is a treat that I’m sure the maestro would want us to enjoy.It’s the story of an unassuming cell phone salesman with a dream that comes true, and gives you chills at the same time. Enjoy.Paul Potts 1 I hope you enjoy Paul's story as much as I did, and do. Elphaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A childhood friend of his shared the story that when he was a baby he ate so much that they had to get a wet-nurse for him in addition to his own mother. I am not a major fan of operas, but I love the arias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiJolly Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I still remember the shock that rolled through the music world when he revealed in his autobiography that he never learned how to read music. Best wishes to him and his family. HiJolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
