A common genre of YouTube is the “reaction video.” Generally these are millenials/Gen Z’ers reacting to music videos or movies that *supposedly* they’ve never seen before. Sometimes you can tell they’re faking.
And sometimes you can see that they’ve not only never heard that particular piece before, they’ve never heard anything like it before. For anyone raised on the talent-free autotuned crap that seems to flood the airwaves today, Luciano Pavaratti has *got* to be a revelation.
The high point? At about 3 minutes when they are flabbergasted by what you get when you mix talent with skill and lots and lots and LOTS of practice.
