I felt very sad about Pavarotti's death, but I just glimpsed some footage of his funeral on TV, and seeing eight to ten men REALLY struggling with his coffin did amuse me slightly. Lesley Garratt got it right when she said, "he was a giant of a man in every respect", or words to that effect. Nevertheless, his version of Nessun Dorma will continue to bring a tear to my eye.
It's that weird expression on his face after he's finished that amazing long slur. He looks completely bewildered and emotionally exhausted. Amazing stuff.
