People think I am disciplined. It is not discipline. It is devotion. There is a great difference.
LOVED BY ALL,
TRULY KNOWN BY FEW
To hear Luciano Pavarotti singing was to be moved by a voice of unparalleled passion. To meet him was to be drawn in by an irresistible magnetism. But to know him was to discover a mind of kaleidoscopic interests known to few outside his inner circle. His artistry extended beyond his voice, and painting was his most cherished passion.
" It takes ten years
to make a sound like that "
Luciano Pavarotti
Pavarotti’s dedication to his craft was underpinned by decades of practice. Only craftsmen of equal calibre can create a fitting tribute to his vocal skill. His mastery is echoed in this exquisite music art cabinet, handcrafted by Linley and featuring their signature marquetry.
