Hi, pink. Yes, very sad. I'm sure your relative is distraught, as you say. Well, there is that, Tickersoid. Thanks for visiting my blog. Ellee, it would seem so: I've heard strains of his music from all around today - even at siesta time, which is unusual.
'Tis a very sad time. A magnificent man in every way. He was one of my heroes. The world is a lesser place from the loss of the beauty of his voice. Thankfully, we still have access to it from his many recordings and filmed performances. Tears well every time I listen to Pavarotti...they flow for his loss.
He teased and charmed us mercilessly with his mischievous, flashing brown eyes.
My very favourite tenor. We always listen to his CD of O Holy Night when we open Christmas presents. My friend's husband, a dentist, did a root canal on him when he was here in Vancouver and every time he came to North America he sent them tickets for a performance and plane tickets to go. A very generous person indeed. I did go to see him live when he performed here with the Three Tenors, quite a few years ago. regards jmb
Hi, Andrew. I think all our thoughts are with his family now. Hi, jmb. How nice to hear that he was so generous. That's 2 people who know someone who had professional dealings with him who have commented on this blog! TAT, how wonderful to have seen him and at the Met, too! Hi, shirl. I guess we all thought we knew him, really. Ciao, Uber. I am Welsh but not a cake - at least, I don't think so! Auguri
A very sad day for many. My husbands cousin was his voice coach here in the USA, I'm sure she is distraught.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad innings for someone who appreciates a Fray Bentos pie.
ReplyDeleteI imagine all Italy is in mourning.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence that pinkacorn knows someone who knew him.

Hi, Lee. Yes, magnificent in every way. We are lucky to have the CDs etc. I, too, cry every time I listen to him. I feel for his family tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comment on my blog. My thoughts are with his family this evening.

So sad. I am glad that I got to see him live at the MET at least once in my life. Great professional.
ReplyDeleteAlways sad when anyone reaches an untimely death through either accident or illness. Here, the world feels the loss because he shared so much with us.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought you were Welsh!I guess you are not a cake either?

ReplyDeleteoh, sad news.
ReplyDeletemy friend went to his concert here in cairo 5 years ago I think.
He will always be remembered internationally.
Hi, Kizzie. I so wish I'd been able to attend one of his concerts. You are right - he will not be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI, too, was sad to hear of his death.
ReplyDeleteMany nights when my son was a baby, I got him to sleep by playing the song "Notte."
Hi, Ruthie. I love that song.
