Yesterday I had a conversation with a foreign student who is currently working with me on their voice, who did not know who Pavarotti was. While this seems unthinkable to many of us here in Britain, I can completely understand how those growing up overseas may well never have heard this incredible voice.
Pavarotti was a monster vocalist, not just of his generation, but in the over-arching story of great singers of the ages. He had an incredible voice, one with great agility and range, but also power and tenderness to boot. What is important to remember is that he also had to put a lot of work into his voice… it just goes to show how even gifted singers need to work on their voice. Good can become great in this way!
