Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

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

Superb. (2007-09-16)

Luciano Pavarotti will live on forever.His powerful voice is so uplifting and soothing.I love this music, because it sparked my interest in learning the Italian language.My favorite track is the lively "La Donna E' Mobile" composed by Verdi.I also love Pavarotti's rendition of Verdi's "Libiamo Ne' Lieti Calici"(Let's make a toast). This song is a celebration of life."La Danza" (The Dance) is an up tempo track from Rossini."O Sole Mio" is such a pretty romantic song, a hymn to the Sun.This track is a pure gem.His voice sounds so elegant on the track "Nessun Dorma" (Let nobody be asleep}."M'appari" (She appeared to me) is another standout track.Pavarotti sounds so peaceful here singing about a place where sound never dies.This is beautiful music from a singing legend.
