This is the Hail Mary sung to our Lords Mother. It always makes me cry.

Can somebody pls crowd fund this dude to go to Vienna and hear the real thing in person! You deserve it dude!

“This is so beautiful I don’t even care about the negativity” that is the truest statement ever! Love the reaction!

Im an old metal head and I have enjoyed, loved Luciano for nearly 40 years, Congrats on discovering this music. It eye opening and mind expanding music.

AVE MARÍA MADRE DE CRISTO SALVADOR...QUE HERMOSA CANCION Y QUE VOZ DIOS MIO...

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Hail Mary ...those are the lyrics, just in Latin. A prayer set to music.

"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus..." this song is a prayer. No one sang it quite like Pavararotti. I prefer Mario Lanza overall, but Luciano's rendition of the Schubert classic is my favorite. He had such a powerful range, but such great control. It moves me every time.

the words are beautiful too... they are a prayer: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of our death. Amen.

This song, is the prayer called "Hail Mary". As a child who attended a small Catholic school in Hawaii, we learned to say this prayer and sing it in church as in the choir. I look and listen to kids now and feel bad that they not know that this song they laughed at is actually a prayer for Christians. I pray something will wake their souls up and they see the light. May the Lord shine his perpetual love, light, and glory. ✌🏼❤🙏🏼🌎🌍🌏🕊

Hi James, The purity of your responses gives me goose bumps just as much as the music. I enjoy watching you respond to music I know so well and am delighted to see your beautiful emotional face surrender to it. 💞🎶

When the music and artist can transmit the meaning of the lyrics in a different language, that is the power of the a virtuoso performance by a master of their craft. Music, good music, transcends language, culture, age, everything to touch the soul.

You don't need to react to the negativity. Just know that most of us watching are watching for the shared love of music and the genuine pleasure it gives us to hear old favourites through your fresh true eyes. I am on this journey with you.

Luciano Pavarotti Ave Maria appreciate your videos Listening 🌼 Mass USA TYVM 🇺🇸 ❤ Blessings for everyone ♥ Universe ❤ 😊Vienna is beautiful 🌼 80s took a trip there favorite country very musical

Ave Maria is a treasured hymn by Roman Catholics all over the world and I am so thrilled this song touched your soul the way it did. It is soothing and peaceful. A true prayer to our Holy Mother Mary. Thanks for your honest reaction. You will find peace listening to this song.

One of my late husband’s and my wedding gifts was an opera singer singing this at our wedding. As Catholics, it was the best wedding gift we received. Our Blessed Mother loves all of us as her children.

I was 40 when I decided to take vocal lessons and became one of the top female vocalist in the state I was living. Take lessons! I fell in love with Italian. You can do it!

Luciano Pavarotti was one of most wonderful tenors who ever lived singing one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. May our blessed Lady Mary bless us all with her compassionate love. And bless you in your journey to find music that raises us close to her.🙏🌹

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever. And anytime I hear it - any rendition whatsoever - makes me cry. You are an authentic soul, and a joy.

Song to the Mother of Jesus to pray for us. Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with you (the angel greeted her) Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb (Elizabeth said to Mary) Jesus (The end of the song / prayer is) Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

a voice, worthy to praise the virgin mary.

A man sang Ave Maria at my father's funeral. A beautiful prayer for a beautiful man, my dad.

As an Italian and a Catholic, I grew up hearing this at least once a week. A prayer, to our Blessed mother Mary, taken from the book of Luke.

Always brings tears to my eyes ....It was my father's favorite song and artist

So well said about not needing to understand the language of opera...you FEEL the sentiment through the music. ❤️

Your love of music is true and pure.....you need not offer anyone any explanations.

This song always makes me cry. It is played/sung in Catholic churches everywhere around the world, as it is about The Blessed Mother. It actually reaches your soul. Please listen to Pie Jesu Requiem. Beautiful.

As an older widow living alone it is so wonderful to watch your reaction to such beautiful music. Music is my comfort and companion and it can feel lonely not having someone to share it with who also appreciates it and is moved by it. Thank you .

I was so lucky to see Pavarotti sing live when I was young. I worked at Lincoln Center, and I must have seen him sing half a dozen times. He could fill a hall, with or without a microphone. I was a young Black man from The South Bronx who loved all kinds of music. Fortunately , Philharmonic Hall, where I worked my way through college, provided every kind of music conceivable, from Classical to Rock to Jazz to Folk and beyond. Never limit yourself to one type of music. Listen to everything you can get your hands on."Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death"!

My father had a beautiful tenor voice and sang this song every Christmas in our little town in Germany. My grandmother used to tell us there wasn’t a dry eye in the old cathedral. I love Pavarotti and I think your reactions are perfect. Keep going keep enjoying...stay happy.

I love Schubert's "Ave Maria". It moves me to tears since it is so lovely😊.

In Europe we believe God was singing through Pavarotti . I am delighted you love listening to Pavarotti . Best wishes and love from Ireland.

I had this played at my moms funeral.

While it’s about the Virgin Mary, the sweet gentleness of it makes it a song honoring the love of all mothers. Achingly beautiful.

Goosebumps every time!!!! I was singing along with tears in my eyes. It's one of the most beautiful songs. Never make excuses or apologize for feeling the way you do, you are genuine and not many people these days can day that. Never change!

So beautiful! My mom used to sing this to me when I was a child. It still brings tears to my eyes and I can feel her right beside me and wish I could still give her a hug.

Your reaction to this was perfect, James. This is the beautiful prayer to the mother of Jesus sung in Latin, the ancient traditional language of the Roman Catholic Church. Luciano Pavarotti was Catholic, so the Ave Maria I'm sure held great meaning for him. Ave means Hail or greetings. Maria is the name, Mary. These are the words spoken by the angel when he appeared to Mary to ask if she would agree to be the mother of Jesus. This is simply the 'Hail Mary' prayer put to music. The Ave Maria was played at Pavarotti's funeral. It has been sung by countless artists even including Barbara Streisand who is Jewish.

I am an Sicilian-America-Jew, (now living in S. Africa), yet I will love every song this man sings even if it is totally opposite my religion. This is a very famous song sung in Latin. His Italian accent helps soften the certain Latin words that do not end in a vowel as do nearly all Italian words. it is a remarkable performance. It cuts through everything - as you indicated. It touches the soul that we all posses in equal measure.

My heart aches for the world that this man is gone, but let the angels now rejoice . Thank You Luciano.

I cry when I hear this, he had the voice of heaven in him.

It makes my old heart so happy to see a young person so moved by great music. Let the haters hate cause this old white woman loves you.

No words to describe his voice. We can only hear and feel.❤

Sweetheart, you let this old lady hear it again for the first time, through your honest reaction. Thank you. Keep doing this, please.

James - The border is closed but if I could I would run down there from Canada and give you a huge hug! YOU are what we need in troubled times. If everyone was like you there would be no such things as negativity and troubled times. LOVE YOU!

You are certainly correct : Beauty always shines. He had such a gift, he had such control over that gift. It is a beautiful prayer and you can just bring it on, find as many as you can. They are all gorgeous!

Honey, I so love watching you as you discover the phenomenal music of Pavarotti. Ave Maria is simply the prayer Hail Mary, sung on her feast day and, especially, at Christmas. You delight me to no end, Sweetheart! 😍🥰❤

It's so lovely to see your little face light up when you listen to music it always makes me smile x

My Father was a Tenor too appreciate your videos Listening 🌼 I'm an old Lady Mass USA TYVM 🇺🇸 you would love V

You know James, I am 63 and most of the music you react to is something I've heard...may not be my favorite...or it may be!! There is no right or wrong as far as liking or not liking any music. Music that I loved over the years, has been my decision. And I think we all want to expose others to new music and hopefully decide they love it also. Sorta validating..in a way! And it is interesting to see others discovering what we have known for 50 yrs or so! Keep doing what you are doing...fun for you and for us!!

James, that was written by Franz Schubert, one of the greatest classical composers of all time. You are so right.... music does not care two hoots for race, creed, colour, nationality, it could not care less. It just touches the hearts of all mankind, irrespective of people's origins or cultures. It is the one language which unites the whole of mankind.

Simply heavenly. I am so grateful that our blessed Mother Mary gave birth to our Lord and Savior Jesus. Amen

Do you realize this is from the same concert? He sanged one after the other one. In the same concert!! How is this eaven possible?? OMG sheer beauty and hapiness. angel / angel/angel ☯️✌peace

A tiny beautiful little girl from America came to Britain and sung nessun dorma on Britain's got talent as a guest. She left this country stunned after just one song. Her name was Jacky Evancho, just an ordinary little girl from your own country. She all grown up now but my God you should listen and watch some of her first performances. Her feel for music was stunning.

One of the most beautiful songs ever sung.

Just splendid isn't it.. I just closed my eyes and let his fabulous voice wash over me.. Luciano Pavarotti will always be remembered, because his voice was so unique, even on the radio you just know it's him.. @JBLETHAL keep watching and enjoying your musical journey, we will watch with you.. Have a listen to Deanna Durbin singing this and also Mario Lanza, you will not be disappointed James.. Best wishes from Wales UK

The devil sneaks and listens to this. And he cries.

This song and Pavarotti bring out their own response. It is pure beauty.

I love playing this song and letting my viola be my voice. Chills every time.

This was one of my grandmother's favourite singers and one of her favourite songs/prayers. She will be gone 3 years in April 2021.

90s was probably the best of last 3 decades, good music, good singers, good film and good video games

Luciano’s voice is a gift to those that hear it.

My heart is really warmed by seeing a young man discover this music and have it touch his heart and what you don't know yet is this is church music. This is sung with angles in their hearts. Continue your journey young man and fill your life with beauty.

Stunning performance. No one can sing the Hail Mary any better. Thank you for this.

Loving some more Luciano! Fun fact: he could not read music. He must only be holding the lyrics in his hands.. I think that was one of if not the first time he sang this piece. He nails the melody but sings the words differently from the way it was composed. Still, everything he sang was gorgeous so who cares!

This song is a prayer for peace and forgiveness - the composer was only a young man, but knew he was dying, when he wrote it. His soul to ours.

Your heart shines through with your reaction to these beautiful songs. You are right. If you play this song in the middle of any group the reaction will be love and awe. We all react to its power and the power of the singer

Beauty that moves you in away that no modern music could never do. Reaches into your soul and you physically feel it and you remember it.

Gorgeous and energizing - your reaction charges us on a spirit level . Pavarotti was the model for my training (Bel Canto) 30 years ago in the Classical/Opera/Oratorio world . He remains at the top of My. Everest . His version of Verdi's Requiem solos are stunning , especially Ingemisco .

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Hail Mary full of grace. Schubert is attempting to reflect the power, and glory of Our Saviour, and His Holy Mother.☘☘☘Greetings from Ireland.

This is one of my late mother’s favorite songs thank you for reacting to it

Beautiful music will grow your heart, bring tears to your eyes, and sometimes bring you to your knees.

You gave a GREAT explanation of how music can move you, even if the language is foreign. Love your channel and reactions, please keep them coming!

Just love watching you react to Pavarotti 🥰 he sings straight to your soul, well that's how I experience it ❤

You already know this guy. His voice could penetrate through to your soul, Thanks, JB

I listen to Pavarotti sing this every Christmas!

Dear James, this was such a beautiful witness of God’s unconditional love for you. Was so blessed, bursting with joy watching your reaction. Thank you Father God for blessing Jim with this Beautiful gift!!! God Bless Your Soul. “Little Brother”. Much Love. Julie Whittaker. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE✝️🙏🤗💕

A beautiful song to The Virgin Mary. In Latin. Most beautiful. ☮💜

Your joy on hearing a master of the craft is joy to my heart. Music that transcends language is always so pure. Thank you for letting us see your heart.

It is like the clouds parting Revealing a staircase Full of angels singing you up to the pearly gates and All the sudden you hear the voice and are welcome into heaven

Feeling so much emotion from a song that it brings tears to your eyes means you're sensitive and that's a beautiful thing

I appreciate you sharing your reaction to this beautiful song. It actually brings us together, even for a small moment in time. Voices like Pavarotti are here for us the enjoy the sound of life ....... together, no matter the color or race, we connect to this beauty. Thank you for sharing your reaction, truly!

Other people's opinions of you are none of your business. Let them hate. You continue to provide heart-felt, genuine reactions as you always do. Anyone that cant understand your passion for music and your gift for presenting it to the world doesn't deserve your attention! We love you just the way you are, James!

Your response to the eternal beauty of this music demonstrates why it has endured across centuries, across cultures & languages & if we ever leave Earth, we’ll take it to the stars.

You're a true man with the soul of an artist - it's a privilege to share your reaction to this beautiful music. Do please find a way to continue this journey of discovery, this is what makes being human not just worthwhile but a privilege.

It is wonderful to see you react to classical, Italian opera for the first time. I think all of us have had that reaction and I thank you for sharing yours with us.

I don't know alot about opera. But I know this made me cry. So pure and true. Humans can be quite beautiful creatures sometimes! Gives me hope.

Almost 200 years old. Still great. Great forever.

Jblethal, This is the Greatest Voice of our time, the way he rolls his "R"s and sings the High "C" is incredible.

Music is the language of the soul. You are proof of the depth of the power of music. Thank you.

The joy I see in your face as you discover this master vocalist absolutely heals my heart! We’re all hurting right now...I’ve lost my job, and become homeless recently....but when I listen to how this makes you feel, it brings me hope for the future. Ignore the negativity and know that in striving for more in your own life, you are indeed helping others.

I admire you for reaching to find beautiful things beyond your norm. Classical music has been enjoyed for centuries and thank you for keeping it alive into a new generation!

It applies to us all: Wisdom is what you learn after you think you already know it all. You are becoming a wise young man!

I came across your channel a few minutes ago, and adore you already! Watching someone fall in love with music they have never heard is so soul-stirring for me. I am a former music major (voice), and have been hoping to find someone like you whose soul, heart, mind, and ears are wide open to the world of music. I had the great fortune growing up to be exposed to all genres. I look forward to watching and encouraging you on your musical journey here! Blessings!

I never understand the lyrics, just listen to the beautiful sound of the voices and musicians.

Hi James, your reaction and comments are universal for this greatest of tenors and amazing man. Luciano Pavarotti was certainly one of a kind in the history opera and music.

Beautiful Beautiful Thanks bruv 👍👌

The man could make angels cry with the beauty.

Man, you can see your posture change. You can actually watch your body language. You shoulders relax and you're just there with the music, the emotions, the beauty of it. Pure appreciation and I have to respect it. Let those tears flow my guy. Feel those feelings.

It always beautiful when he opens his mouth

Never saw this young man before but will definitely watch more. He feels it.
