Album: The Essential Pavarotti -- A Selection of His Greatest Recordings
Artist: Luciano Pavarotti
Selected by: Nate Cavalieri
Date: October 13, 2008
Though his death from pancreatic cancer in 2007 left the classical world searching for an ambassador, celebrated tenor Luciano Pavarotti would have been 72 years old today. Pavarotti is remembered for his rich voice, definitive interpretations of canonical roles and passion for performing, all of which are evident in this stunning reading from Bizet's Carmen. In it, Don Jose sings of a flower that Carmen had once thrown him, which, though faded, still holds an intoxicating loveliness -- a perfect homage to the singer himself.
