Pavarotti has died, age 71. He was a big man with a big voice, a great voice. He managed to bring opera to the masses, an amazing feat when opera is seen as being for the clique. But he was known when he wasn't even at his peak. You need to go back to the early 70's to hear his voice at its fullest, most expressive. He will be remembered for Nessun Dorma but he achieved a lot more.
