Pavarotti

José Carreras, Plácido Domingo

Decca, 1997

DO NOT WAIT !!!!
I have been waiting for a long time to replace my VHS with a DVD hoping the price would come down a little more. What a mistake! The DVD is crisp, sharp, and clear. The sound is fantastic, even God must have felt a little humble that night in 1990 at Caracalla. In an ...

The #1 Opera Album

Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ...

Decca, 2001

great collection
If one was wanting to introduce a friend to the wonderful world of opera, this would be a great cd to buy them. Also at this time when many of us are worrying about Luciano and his health , it is great to hear him featured on many of the selections. A great buy and ...

Puccini - La Boheme / Pavarotti, Scotto, Niska, Wixell, Plishka, Levine, Metropolitan Opera

Renata Scotto, Luciano Pavarott

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

La Boheme
A marvelous version of this great opera. The 'young' Pavoratti's voice simply soars. I saw the new Met version recently which was excellent, but no comparison in tenors. What a loss too soon when he died.

The Best of the Three Tenors

Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, ...

Decca, 2002

The best from the three greatest...
The first thing we must establish here is that this is not meant to be opera. This is three exceptionally talented tenors enjoying themselves and giving tremendous joy to those listening by singing mostly popular "evergreens" and also some operatic arias. The beauty in ...

Luciano Pavarotti: Life in Seven Arias
Luciano Pavarotti

Decca, 2008

The extraordinary documentary from the BBC tells the story of Luciano Pavarotti's remarkable career through the eyes of some of his colleagues and the arias that made him famous! With the use of extensive archival performance footage, interviews and film from the BBC, this documentary is an in-depth appreciation of the most popular opera singer of ...

Carreras · Domingo · Pavarotti: The Three Tenors in Concert / Mehta

Giacomo Puccini, Salvatore Cardillo, ...

Decca, 1990

Better than the best.....
I sit here at my computer and try to think of superlatives adequate to accurately describe this album....and there just aren't any. It is worthy to be the best selling classical album of all time....but it's more than that. It's just a must have, a collection to soothe ...

Verdi - Rigoletto / Luciano Pavarotti, Ingvar Wixell, Edita Gruberova, Victoria Vergara, Ferruccio ...

G. Verdi, Wiener Opera Philharmoniker

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

JUST GET IT... you won't regret it!
There are so many reasons to like this film version of Verdi's Rigoletto. So many people have already listed them I feel somewhat redundant in listing them again, but I had to add my "2 cents." The main reason to get this really is Ingvar Wixell's Rigoletto. He is ...

Pavarotti's Greatest Hits

Vincenzo Bellini, Georges Bizet, ...

Decca, 2007

Excellent Survey of Pavarotti's Work
For someone who is already a student of opera, this dual set will probably be somewhat redundant. However, if you are curious about opera in general or are unfamiliar with Pavarotti's recordings, this is an excellent anthology. I bought it as two cassettes some 20 ...

Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)

Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ...

Decca, 2005

Wonderful, of course!
I don't know of too many that would give fewer than five stars to Luciano Pavarotti. What an amazing voice...we are fortunate to have been part of one man's unbelievable talent!

Pavarotti Forever

David Romano, Adolphe Adam, ...

Decca, 2007

The Gift.
It is sad, isn't it, that we take our gifted artists for granted until they're gone forever. I'm guilty of that short-sightedness to this day and here is a great example. When Pavarotti began his rush to fame in the early 1990's, like many others, I just knew his ...

O Holy Night / Luciano Pavarotti / Special Deluxe Edition (Decca)

Vittoriano Benvenuti, Hector Berlioz, ...

Decca, 2005

A very special Christmas album
My wife and I love Christmas music, but this album is in a class by itself. It is opera, classical music, Christmas carols, and the most heartfelt and expressive personal expression of religious feeling. It is exalted and joyous, and to my wife and me, inexpressively ...

Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Caballé · Ghiaurov · Krause · Pears · LPO · Mehta

Giacomo Puccini, Zubin Mehta, ...

Decca, 1990

I Wish There Is a DVD for This Cast!!!
I bought the recording in the tape form years ago. I could not listen to it any more because of the wear after I played it too many times. Fortunately, technology came to the resue, CD!!! The tenderness, emotion, range, and capacity, from a delicate note to a full ...

The Italian Opera Collection

Luciano Pavarotti, Metropolitan Opera

Decca, 2008

Heart Warming The Italian Opera Collection
The Italian Opera Collection Sometimes I rush & don't get what I intend to. I read the reviews before purchasing this DVD. Not only was it favorable but it kept me from making a mistake on a gift for my Husband. The night of my husbands "B" Day he watched part of the ...

Puccini - La Bohème / Freni, Pavarotti, Harwood, Ghiaurov, Karajan

Giacomo Puccini, Mirella Freni, ...

Decca, 1990

A Definitive Production of La Bohème.
Puccini's iconic La Bohème (1896) is among the most popular operas in history (second only to Puccini's Madama Butterfly), and "Che gelida manina" is one of the most familiar arias in opera. Based on Scènes de la vie de Bohème by Henri Murger, La Bohème is a romantic ...

Pavarotti's Opera Made Easy-My Favourite Opera For Children

Robert Massard, Sherrill Milnes, ...

Decca, 1994

Fun, accessible opera for you and your child to enjoy
I bought this CD for my then 3 year old son. He loved it then because it was the "Bugs Bunny" music he was familiar with from the cartoons. He listened to it for awhile then we put it away. After he turned 4, he said to me one day -- let's listen to opera, and now ...
