Date: October 05, 2007 12:29PM well, forget it... no... DON'T forget it
It was the most GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUSESS sound in the world ( well.. okay.. this is how i felt when i heard it) well, i know for sure that I liked Pavrotti's version better though i first listened to Andrea Bocelli's version of (drum roll) Nessun Dorma Pavrotti's version ... it is different.. definetely.. u can hear the subtleties of the difference.. like a more finer tuned instrument ( yeah.. i'm just pointing out the obvious?/ i like bocelli too ( don't shoot me bocelli fans) its just that when I heard Pavrotti's version.. I nearly cried in fact, i did okay... so since i can't seem to get the links done correctly ( i tried many times) i'll just give u the instructions just go to 1) www.youtube.com then put in pavrotti and nessun dorma and then CLOSE YOUR EYES turn off the lights and just listen with your heart if you hear bocelli's version, it is good too it's just that pavrotti's voice just ... it was seamless.. bocelli's wasn't as seamless ... esp. in the beginning... huge difference well.. anyhow... this is one of the greatest songs and i don't even know that much opera nor do i know that much about pavrotti or bocelli i just like that song and i don't even know what it means i heard it a couple of times and fell in love with it and then just today all of a sudden it made me cry Re: I had to close my eyes...

Date: October 06, 2007 01:55AM what IS it about that song that just seems to
i dunno there is SOMETHING to that song maybe it would help if i knew what it meant but then again, somehow i dont even want to know what the words mean... like i just wanted to hear his voicelike a musical instrument in and of itself which of course it is and i'm sorry he passed away recently but like everyone kept saying he is singing as one of the choir angels in heaven such an exquisite song especially at the beginning and well. the whole song there is more to it than the song or the words i know this Re: I had to close my eyes...

Date: October 06, 2007 08:05PM LaV, it's from Puccini's Turandot. Puccini is Mr. Melodramatic. I never got into Turandot (or tenors, for that matter) but I quite like La bohème.
A rought translation: Nobody will sleep! Nobody will sleep! Not even you Princess, in your cold room, watch the stars, that twinkle with love and with hope. But my secret is hidden inside me, nobody will know my name. No!No! I will tell it to you on your mouth when the light shines. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine! (No one will know his name and we must die.) Vanish, night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! The lyrics, the music, and the story are not what makes this piece work. It takes a great artist to bring it to life and make it something more. O soave fanciulla from Boheme is much more beautiful, a better piece of work all around. But for some reason it doesn't get as much attention. Re: I had to close my eyes...
