What did Pavarotti sing?

[ralphSpoilsport]

I didn't have much luck with Ravi Zacharias and Bach, so let me try another one.

When Pavarotti died they of course played clips of his performances.
The one most often used was of him singing the final notes of a grand and inspiring piece. He holds the final note and it kind of sweeps upward and the orchestra finishes off behind him bringing the piece to a thrilling conclusion!

I know that that's not much of a description, but if you saw any of the tributes to him, this clip was always played. Can anybody help?

Thanks

Well, I'd say it was something written for a tenor...
I didn't see the news much that week, so I'm not sure what piece you are describing, sorry.

 

[ralphSpoilsport]

Thanks anyway, Kim.
Anybody else?

Here is a link to an NPR story. Are either of the pieces they have listed the one you mean?

Probably Nessun Dorma. Excellent piece, I love it! I remember them playing that clip too. It moves the way you describe it. This one?

Thank you so much, JSGuitarist. This is exactly the clip I was looking for!
A blessing on ya, good buddy!

Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this music.
I want it to always be that way.

Glad to help bro

On that note, want to see something equally inspiring, perhaps more?

So, did that dude go on and win? Or did they give it to some pimple faced kid trying to be the next Britney Spears.
