Maestro Pavarotti

[Southerngirl]

Thank you, Andrea, for your beautiful words expressing how much Mr. Pavarotti meant to you. I know you will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family today as we say goodbye to a wonderful talent that brightened our lives with his voice. He is leading the Angels tonight in song, I'm sure.

I also wish to express my sympathy to you also, Andrea, as you mourn your friend and mentor. I know you will miss him greatly. I will keep you in my prayers also as you go through this sad time in your life.

To Mr. Pavarotti's family and to you, Andrea, I pray that God bless you and keep you, may He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you, may He lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Amen.

I was just a rock/pop music fan back in 1990 when I heard Nessan Dorma; the voice was out of this world. As a result I made the decision to get down to London and see him at Hyde park. The royals got wet, as did everyone else ( I got wet through as no umbrella but I didn't care) but the music and singing was magical; I was spellbound. A rock fan who considers a classical concert as one of the best concerts he has ever been to - that was the impact of him an dhis voice on me. As a result I took a deeper interest in classical music and came across your voice and have seen you a few times now - another genius with God given gifts. It must have been an honour for you to sing Ave Maria at his wedding in 2003. The world has lost a irreplaceable musical genius but the memories live on.
Luciano - rest in peace and my thoughts are with your family and friends at this time.

Such a wonderful tribute Andrea - thank you for sharing it with us, you must feel his loss deeply. I'm sure it just reflects the way we all feel about the passing of Maestro Pavarotti - he showed the world that opera can be enjoyed by everyone. He will be greatly missed.

Thank you Andrea for writing such a beautiful memoir in your time of sadness. Pavrotti's voice will indeed live on here with us and will greet us once again in the future. My gratitude to you for reminding me of those thoughts. For now however, it is heaven that is graced with the maestro's beautiful robust voice.

May God grant you the strength that you will need in the days ahead and bless your voice as you pay a final tribute to an honored and beloved gentleman. May his family find comfort in the days that are forthcoming.

May we never forget Pavrotti's contirbutions to the fantastic world of Opera.

Grazie Maestro Pavarotti.

Ihr joviales Bild und Ihr spontanes Lächeln wird mir immer im Gedächtnis und in meinem Herzen bleiben. In diesem Moment, da wir uns mit dem Geheimnis der endgültigen Trennung konfrontiert sehen, dem Zeitpunkt des Todes, gibt uns allen Ihre unverwechselbare kristallklare Stimme Zuversicht. Der Schmerz in meinem Herzen wird nur erleichtert bei dem Gedanken, dass Ihre Kunst uns immer verbleiben wird, sie wird uns weiter bei unseren Reisen begleiten, zu Hause, bei unserem alltäglichen Leben.
Ich möchte mich direkt an den teuren Maestro wenden, um ihm Dank zu sagen für all seine vielfachen Verdienste um die Oper und unser Land, das immer aufs Beste von ihm repräsentiert wurde, Dank dafür, dass er mir den Weg gezeigt und mich in den klassischen Gesang eingeführt hat und Dank dafür, seine Anerkennung gehabt zu haben, die ich immer zurückgegeben habe und die für mich Quell großer Befriedigung war. Danke Maestro für die wertvollen und objektiven Ratschläge und Anregungen dazu, immer mein Bestes zu geben. Dank dafür, die Oper zu einer Kunst gemacht zu haben, die für viele greifbar, wenn nicht überhaupt zu einer Leidenschaft geworden ist. Die Vielen wurden von Ihnen an die Hand genommen und liebevoll in die wundervolle Welt der Oper und des großen Liedguts eingeführt, das zu den internationalen zeitlosen Klassikern aufgestiegen ist. Sie werden nicht nur immer in unseren Herzen bleiben, sie werden in unserem Alltag sein, Sie werden uns weiter väterlich bei unserer Arbeit begleiten und unserem Leben, sie werden wie immer Quell der Inspiration und Unterstützung bei der Suche nach Professionalität sein. Dank dafür, dass Sie jetzt mehr denn je da sind als Garantie und Sicherheit für eine Welt der Hoffnung und des Glaubens, die durch Ihre generose Stimme noch schöner werden wird. Dank dafür Ihre Arme noch weit für uns auszubreiten, mit uns zusammen zu singen und uns noch jenes strahlende und ehrliche Lächeln zu schenken.

Andrea Bocelli

Tg5 Interview with Andrea Bocelli:

L'ADDIO AL TENORISSIMO
Bocelli: "Ha dato più di quello che ha ricevuto"
L'allievo non si stanca di ringraziare con grande commozione il Maestro
Milano, 7 settembre 2007 - Tacere non poteva. Sia pure con la morte nel cuore, Andrea Bocelli. Perché è stato lui a percorrere fino in fondo la via aperta da Pavarotti dall'opera al pop. Lui che veniva dal piano bar più che dai teatri ma ha fortemente voluto fare dopo l'andata anche il viaggio di ritorno. All'amatissima lirica. Tenore leggero di innegabile charme, è l'unica alternativa reale ai Tre Tenori. L'unico suo atipico erede nella popera: dalla cintola in giù direbbe Dante, perché non arriva da una carriera leggendaria ma dal nulla. O meglio, per essere precisi, da Sanremo.

Thank you Andrea for writing such a beautiful memoir in your time of sadness. Pavrotti's voice will indeed live on here with us and will meet us once again in the future. Heaven has a better choir and a brighter star in the sky above us. I could not help but think of you when I first heard that Signor Pavarotti had gone back to God. My heart hurt more knowing how losing your friend would hurt you. Andrea you are one of the gifts Maestro gave the world, I reached for one of his opera recordings (of which I have many) and there with them are all your MY Andrea Bocelli music. You truly walk as he has a journey that inspires and lifts us all to a better place. God will grant you the strength you will need; he will bless your voice as you pay a final tribute to your beloved friend and mentor for us all. I know Maestro is proud to have you receive the torch to carry on. Love and prayers with you.

I join with everyone in my condolences to Mr. Pavarotti´s family, friends and fans all over the world. My last goodbye to a great artist. His soul will be alive in each song that his voice had sung in his lifetime.

[nana1954]

I grew up listening to Maestro Pavoratti. He was my aunt's favorite by far. My mother also listened and introduced me to the three tenors. I passed this love to my children and they to their children. My grandson called me to tell me of his passing and that he was glad that he had some of his cds so he could listen (he is only nine). Now he also is glad that we sent him some of Andrea's cds as well. "Andrea" is his favorite so far. It really touched my heart that a child so loved someone he had never met before and would miss so much. We all loved to hear my mother tell us about when she and my aunt met the maestro at the Dorthy Chandler Pavillion in L.A. (they were identical twins). You can imagine the stir.
My condolences to his family and friends. May you all find peace in his going and joy in the music he has so blessed us with.

Dear Andrea, may you be strengthened in this time of sorrow, late though this message may be. May you also be surrounded by love and encouragement, gentleness and understanding.


Thank you for carrying on the torch,

Karen
