Too much love will kill you

[Mamo]

I was going to post a YouTube video but since there’s always some control freak who keeps taking them down or change what play’s behind a link I’ll leave it alone.


(Nessun dorma
Nessun dorma)
Nessun dorma
Nessun dorma
Tu pure, o Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle
Che tremano d'amore e di speranza
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
Il nome mio nessun saprà
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
Che ti fa mia
(Il nome suo nessun saprà
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir)
Dilegua, o notte
Tramontate, stelle
Tramontate, stelle
All'alba vincerò
Vincerò

"Italian tenor Pavarotti (1935–2007) sings the aria from the final act of Puccini's opera Turandot,
live in concert with The Three Tenors in Los Angeles in 1994."

"Why is Nessun Dorma so hard?"

"technical demands in Nessun Dorma lie in controlling its elongated notes
... it sits high and you have to be loud at the same time ...
If you overblow your woofer that will make it difficult ..."

"high B of 'Vincero!' ('I will win!') can be your triumph or your undoing."

None shall sleep,
None shall sleep!
Even you, oh Princess,
In your cold room,
Watch the stars,
That tremble with love
And with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
My name no one shall know,
No... no...
On your mouth, I will tell it,
When the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!

I have always loved Nessun Dorma and Pavarotti. Some years ago I found a link to the song from an earlier time in Pavarotti's life.. It was Amazing! I'll try to find it again. I am now playing my Three Tenors cd as we speak.
Thanks Rod for all the information and Mahsa for reminding me how much I enjoy classical music.

Thank You, Rod!

This performance by Pavarotti and Bryan Adams is my favorite!

Seasonal wisdom ...

Like all holidays, Christmas is here!
... until it's in our rear view mirror.

If you're expecting a Merry Christmas,
ask Santa for a good rear view mirror
(ditto if you be gobblin' the goodies).
