A Tribute to Opera Super Star - Luciano Pavarotti

This is an off-topic...
It has nothing to do with internet marketing or making money
online...
Being an avid lover of opera, I just want to take a moment to
convey my deepest condolence to Luciano Pavarotti
who passed away today, September 06. He was 71.

Pavarotti had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year
and underwent further treatment in August.

He was known as the "King of the High C's" for the ease with
which he tossed off difficult top notes.

Personally I prefer Pavarotti's performances/recordings during
the earlier part of his career, between 1970's to early 1990's.
Nevertheless, the unforced beauty and thrilling urgency of
Pavarotti's voice has inarguably made him the ideal interpreter
of the Italian lyric repertory.

It was the second monumental loss in the opera world in recent
months. American soprano Beverly Sills, whose widespread
popularity mirrored Pavarotti's, died July 2 at her home in
New York. She was 78 and suffered from cancer.

Rest In Peace, Maestro Luciano Pavarotti.
