Ah yes, but no one claims that Pavarotti's is the only way to sing - or even to sing Nessun Dorma. My personal pet hates are excessive and misplaced vibrato, conjectural intonation and pomposity. In other words, Pavarotti - not to mention most classical and opera singers. Now the Hilliard Ensemble and Ian Partridge are other matters entirely. (incidentally "pavarotti" has been used as an insult on the local rock scene here) <Very big grin> (even if it's true...)
