2. The legendary stories of the three great singers

Pavarotti: Learn to sing by ear and special symbols

The full name of Pavarotti, who is about to sing the Forbidden City, was Luciano Pavarotti in October 1935. Born on the 12th in Modena, Italy. Surprisingly, the singer known as the "King of High C" and "The World's Chief Tenor" does not know music. He himself revealed after a performance that he learned songs by relying on his ears and his own system of symbol substitution notes.

Pavarotti once told reporters during the Universal Music Festival in Castello, a small town in Rome's Umbria region: "Yes, it's true. I can't read music. I'm not a musician. I haven't studied music professionally. It's one thing and singing is another. ."

Pavarotti made this revelation after an opera singer, Vittorio Gassmann, said that he discovered that the tenor did not read music scores. Gassman has previously said that he noticed that Pavarotti was not referring to the score when they were preparing a duet. Gassman said: "I was shocked. I realized this during rehearsals. He grasped the rhythm of the tune by ear, but he didn't sing a single note wrong."

Accompanist Leone Ma Gela said Pavarotti used his ear and a pen to mark the music to help him remember the rise and fall of the tunes. "Luciano was at a bit of a disadvantage in that respect," Majella said. "I realized this because he had arguments with the musicians from time to time. He wanted to learn music through formal channels, but now it was too late."

In his youth, Pavarotti studied under famous teachers such as A. Pola. Won the prize at the Rekiwo Evelia International Vocal Competition. He became famous for his role as Rudolf in the opera "The Artist's Life". Later, he successfully played the roles of Edgar and the Duke of Mantua.

Experts around the world recognize that Pavarotti's voice is full, rich, and bright with a sense of transparency. Among them, the high-pitched area is unified, the tone is generous, and it has a strong natural beauty.

Domingo: The song of an old man in his sixties is still strong

According to the Chinese, he has long passed the age of knowing destiny, but He is still known as the "King of Opera" on the most famous stages in the world.

Carreras: The "extraordinary man" who almost drowned in the river

José Carreras is the youngest of the three tenors. He was born on December 1, 1946. Born in Barcelona to an ordinary family. When he was two years old, Carreras nearly drowned in a river, but was saved by his mother in time. His mother, who loved him very much, believed that her beloved son who survived the disaster would definitely become an "extraordinary person." Under the guidance of his mother, Carreras set his lofty ambition to be a singer when he was 5 years old. He would often lock himself in his room and practice Italian and Spanish folk songs for hours on end.

At the age of 6, Carreras watched the musical movie "The Great Caruso" and was immediately immersed in Mario Lanza's beautiful singing voice. After returning home, with his extraordinary musical memory, he sang all the arias in the film without missing a beat.

When he debuted on the stage, Carreras mostly starred in lyrical light musicals, such as Gennaro in "Lucrezia Borgia" and Pink in "Madame Butterfly" Dayton, Rudolf in "The Artist's Life", etc. His handsome and unrestrained stage image attracted countless fans, but he did not stop there. Instead, he risked losing his voice and continued to expand his acting career. He has chosen many difficult-to-control repertoires such as Verdi's opera "Otello" and Puccini's "Turandot", which are not his own, to challenge himself. He said: “An artistic career without mistakes and failures is boring.

It would be too painful for me to worry about my voice all day long and always stick to certain roles. I hope that life will be more colorful, even if my artistic life is short, I will not hesitate to do so. After all, I sing for life. ”

Among the three tenors, the dramatic expression of Carreras’ voice is not as good as that of Domingo and Pavarotti, but he is good at lyricism, neither wanton indulgence nor overbearing voice. This is exactly his characteristic.

Carreras is taciturn on the outside, but passionate on the inside. He is also the most loyal fan of Barcelona. During major events, he always goes to the casino to bet on his beloved team. Take a shot.

Carreras was also a man of temperament in life. In 1972, when filming "The Artist's Life", he met his co-star, Italy's most famous soprano. The singer Charelli fell in love, and this sweet and painful relationship lasted for 13 years. After that, he fell in love at first sight with the Austrian stewardess Eger and lived with her for 19 years.

In 1987, Carreras, who was at the peak of his career, was diagnosed with leukemia. However, in just two years, he miraculously returned to the stage and celebrated his escape from the clutches of death with an unprecedented European tour. . Three years later, the three tenors also put aside their differences and performed on the same stage for the first time, which shocked the world. "Of course, my voice is not as good as it was 30 years ago, but every note I sing is more expressive." Singers should sing with their hearts. If they pursue too much fancy, they will never be a true singer. " Carreras said.
