RIP, King of High C

From New York Times: “Luciano Pavarotti, the Italian singer whose ringing, pristine sound set a standard for operatic tenors of the postwar era, died early this morning at his home in Modena, in northern Italy. He was 71.”

Also by Anthony Tommasini, “… no one ever mistook the voice of Luciano Pavarotti. There was the warm, enveloping sound: a classic Italian tenor voice, yes, but touched with a bit of husky baritonal darkness, which made Mr. Pavarotti’s flights into his gleaming upper range seem all the more miraculous.”

    由於他的形象已經十分深入民心,連不聽古典音樂的人對他的逝世也感到可惜。至於他是否名過其實,又有多少人會深究呢?
