Default Re: RIP Luciano Pavarotti

By every measure, Pavarotti was bigger than Caruso. An interesting statement by Carreras:

[ QUOTE ]
Carreras told reporters in Karlstad, Sweden, that "there is no doubt that he has been one of the most important tenors of all times."

"I remember that last time I was visiting him in his town in Modena, at his home, he was preparing some special bread and tomato for me together with prosciutto. He was entertaining also in the gastronomic aspect that he liked very much," Carreras said. "We have to remember him as the great artist that he was, the man with such a wonderful charismatic personality, very good friend and a great poker player."
