Format:Audio CD
This 2007 single CD release is a compilation of opera's best known arias performed by one of our generations most popular and successful tenors.
None of the recordings are particularly new, ranging from the 1973 version of 'Nessun Dorma' (long before the Three Tenors era) to slightly newer releases like the 1989 'Live like Horses' duet with Elton John.
In between these two are all the favourites like Verdi's 'Brindisi' and 'La Donna e Mobile', and of course Lara's 'Granada'.
Whether this is, or if in fact any 1 CD of just one hour of music could be, the ultimate Pavarotti collection I'm not certain, for there are several other such titled releases available (most notable being Decca's 2 disc compilation which guests stars Cecilia Bartoli, Andreas Bocelli and Frank Sinatra), but for a compilation consisting of so many of his popular songs this one can't be faulted.
My favourite is the previously mentioned duet with Elton John, which is perhaps one of the finest examples of 'crossover' (when pop meets classical) music you could ever wish to hear, combining Elton's song writing talents with Luciano's powerful yet passionately emotional vocals. It's a great closing number to the CD and demonstrates just why Pavarotti is regarded as one of the legends of the opera world.

This is a fantastice collection for all Pavarotti fans out there. The quality of his voice is all you would expect from this great man. He is sadly missed but thankfully we live in an age where he is not lost to us forever. Enjoy!!!

Theres a lot of new opera singers and theyre all fantastic (Cath Jenkins, Russel Watson etc) but they dont (quite)have the passion and emotion in the performance that Luciano seems to give every time, this album has a good mix, all the favourites are there and they are all good quality performances. Enjoy the master...
