I must admit to feeling a little nostalgic and biased towards this album, as it was my very first classical album bought way back in 1990.
The years have not diminished the appeal that this album possesses. I am still able after twenty odd years to play it from start to finish and feel enriched and happier.
I have listened to many compilation albums since and have found them dis-satisfying. This album collects together the recordings that MADE Pavarotti into the superstar he was and not the popular celebrity songs made during the twilight years of his career.
The listener will hear in this album a powerful and charismatic tenor in love with the music and his audience.
I heartedly recommend this album to old and young alike and wish you the many happy years of listening to it that I have enjoyed!
