All’alba vincero! (To the dawn I will win!)
Vincero, vincero! Vincero! (I will win, I will win! I will win!)
A nation lives by these verses even till date, The Italian tenor Pavarotti’s classic performance of Puccini’s Nessun Dorma will always be remembered as an anthem for soccer fanatics during the World Cup of 1990 in Italy. This performance created a huge fervor which was witnessed by the entire world during the championships. Today, the world has lost a great artist in the field of music. To his fans his mastery in music was par excellence with the most vibrant voice and striking musical notes.
Luciano Pavarotti, 71, fell prey to the deadly disease of cancer last year. His diagnosis of pancreatic cancer took the world’s most loved tenor instantly away from his passion to perform. This kept him away from making any public appearances since early last year due to the surgery and road to recovery. But as it is said God has other plans, the legend will always be in our minds and his music will be captured in the souls of his admirers.
Pavarotti’s contribution to music has been huge and not only was he a great musician but also a great human being. He collaborated with the Late Princess Diana in many charity events. He used his god gift to raise money for dying children in Wales. Pavarotti was also involved in saving those children who were victims of the war and bloodshed in Bosnia. This attribute towards humanity and mankind made him a person with not only a golden voice but a sparkling heart as well.
Featuring in the UK pop charts frequently the tenor did justice to his passion and entertained the world with his breathtaking voice and generous smiles. The world of music pays patronage to this legend and he will always be remembered across the globe.
