Customer Reviews:
Outstanding songs and outstanding service
If you like Pavarotti these songs, in my opinion, are among his very best. The service was excellent and I strongly recommend ordering O Sole Mio: Favorite Neapolitan Songs.
Pavarotti 
a good collection of music that shows the quality of Pavarotti's voice and knowledge of the genre.
Great Collection Of Songs
When I was a kid, my mother bought this album on vinyl. Of course I would have never listened to this on my own. AC/DC and Led Zeppelin were more my speed. But the more I was exposed to it, the more it grew on me. Now, many years later, I came across this CD and bought it. Many of these songs should be familiar to even the most casual listener. These songs are old standards from Naples. What can I say about Pavarotti's voice that hasn't already been said? He can belt out a note one second, and tone way down to a tender verse the next like no other. The songs are all in Italian, but that doesn't matter. Their messages will be apparent through the feelings expressed by Pavarotti.
As far as technical merits are concerned, this isn't the greatest sounding recording of all time. Not to say that it's bad, but the recording was made in 1977 and shows the technical limitations of the time. Pavarotti's voice sounds great though.
I highly recommend this CD to anyone interested in either Pavarotti or Neopolitan songs. It's a delightful CD. Play it loud and enjoy.
What could be more pleasant listening?
Oh the joy of this wonderful music. It is very enjoyable.
I always fall in love with life again when listening to these songs.
The most romantic, spirited love songs.
The young Pavarotti here sings like an angel songs that are at the heart of Italian romance in the broadest way. intensity and passion imbue every word and phrase and the music is old italian.
Wonderful.
Somewhere the words are available, as they were with my lost vinyl recording.
