Luciano Pavarotti is being remembered Thursday for his musical gifts and his charisma. The acclaimed voice of the Italian tenor was silenced this morning. Pavarotti died in his hometown in Modena, Italy. He was 71 yard old, and had been suffering from Pancreatic cancer. He'll go down as one of the most important operatic singers ever, and perhaps even the most famous. 

Fred Child hosts the daily classical music show Performance Today. Fred joined All Things Considered  host Tom Crann to give a bit more perspective on Pavarotti, the man and the artist.
