Nessun Dorma (Messy Doormat)
4Friday 10 April, 2015 by Uncle Spike
One of my favourites, and I’m sure many others too… that classic of classics, when three blokes stood there and sang about their ‘messy doormats!’
Yup, it’s Friday, and time for another from the list of Tunes I Love.
Now I know there have been many renditions of this music over the years by some fabulously talented artists, but for me, the all time classic is still the incredible partnership of the three tenors, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti.

I rarely listen to classical music but my dad did. This was one of his favourites and we played it at his funeral. Nice tho sad to listen to it again.

A beautiful way to honour him. Music from the funerals of my loved ones are precious to me also; but they make me smile from the memories their bring alive.

I was on a dolmus the other morning and the driver was playing The Three Tenors. He was singing along in perfect Turk-engl-alian. A little mix of three languages. Priceless.

Ah, Spike, too early for me to have chills down the spine. This rendition has always moved me, almost choking me up. Love the “messy dormat” translation…too funny. ☺ Principesa Van
