The majesty of Luciano

Fellow citizens,

Once in a generation an artist emerges who simply takes our breath away with the majesty of their talent. Tears well in the eyes, the spine shivers and the body trembles when they perform.

One such great talent was Luciano Pavarotti.

He performed so many wonderful arias from so many wonderful operas. 

To me, however, this performance of "Caruso" in Paris in 1998 as part of a "Three Tenors" concert for the World Cup is just superb.

The emotion, the power, the feeling, the interpretation; illustrates how good Luciano Pavarotti truly was.
