Anyone discovering this album who had never heard or heard of Luciano Pavarotti would immediately recognize greatness, a one-of-a-kind, one-per-generation (maybe) talent and personality that commands attention, respect, and yes, even love. These 35 selections are an astonishing achievement: Taken, for the most part from the tenor's prime--the 1970s and '80s (although there are four earlier and three from 2003)--what we hear is golden tone, impeccable diction, an innate sense of style and line and where the music should be going, absolutely natural phrasing, an evenness of production from C to (shining) C, and an ability to communicate warmth, passion, and the sheer love of music-making. The first CD is devoted to opera, with a dazzling "La donna e mobile," a smooth-as-silk "Una furtive lagrima," the famous aria from "La fille du regiment" with nine high Cs, "Nessun dorma" and many more. The second CD is mostly songs ("Torna a Surriento," "La danza," "O sole mio," etc.) sung with élan and flawless style, plus a couple of ghastly pop tunes (from 2003); to make up for them, we get a bonus--the three arias from Pavarotti's first EP from Decca, recorded in 1964--"E lucevan le stelle" and two arias from Rigoletto. Bravo, Pavarotti--we miss you already. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:
CD Glitch
I enjoyed listening to the two CD set of some of Luciano Pavaratti's best loved songs. Unfortunately on disc one there is a defect on cut 5 at 46 seconds whch causes the player to go back to 25 seconds and play until it gets to 46 seceonds after which it continues this vicious circle. I was sent a replacement disc where the identical problem occurs. The problem can be duplicated on any number of CD players.
I hope the manufacturer resolves this problem. Luciano, I love your voice but not the same 21 seconds over and over. Ciao!
This is an execelent DVD
This DVD made me cry. To think this man is no longer with us. But he will never die because we have this DVD,and many others.
Perfect Pavarotti Intro
My interest for Pavarotti came when I heard him in his collaberation with Brian Eno, Bono and The Edge in "Miss Sarajevo". I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a whole CD's worth... I was most pleasantly surprised. His voice moves my soul. Brilliant!
For Opera Lovers Everywhere
I'm sure there are many other Pavarotti CDs out there but I think this covers a lot of his most popular arias and other more mainstream songs he sang. I found it most relaxing listening to it while sitting in the car in traffic. It really does soothe the savage beast.
sunday mornings
I don't know much about opera except when I was young I remember my father playing lp's on sunday mornings. For you young kids lp's are records. I remember asking him who was singing, it was CARUSO. So for me I not only love the idea of listening to the great PAVAROTTI who is fantastic, it also brings home some memories.
