La Leggenda, Pavarotti


I was really saddened to hear about Luciano Pavarotti this morning. Opera is not quite at the top of my list of favourite things to listen to but, there is just something about his voice. Hearing him sing often brought tears to my eyes; especially when it was Nessun Dorma. His performance at the Torino Winter Olympics 2006 was amazing and particularly incredible considering that he was very sick at the time. The world of classical music will surely miss his talent, as will some of us ordinary folk.

What a loss. I'm not a big opera fan either, but when I wanted to listen to him over dinner to celbrate his life and voice, I was shocked to learn we had *none* of his music!
