My Take
For me, Luciano Pavarotti sits in a category of his own. The nickname King of the High Cs barely captures the sheer thrill of that ringing, effortless top register. What elevates him beyond pure technique is how he carried opera to people who never thought it was for them, anchoring the Three Tenors phenomenon and turning Nessun Dorma into a global anthem. The Nansen Refugee Award reminds me his generosity matched his voice. When he died in 2007, the art form lost a once-in-a-century instrument. I still get chills hearing his recordings, and I suspect I always will.
