From Calaf's "Nessun dorma" from Turandot, in which the singer exclaims his love for the ice princess and the victory he will have over her, through Lionel's realization that he will have a new life and be happy with Lady Harriet in Martha ("M'appari"), and on to Rodolfo's falling in love with Mimi in La Bohème when he touches her hand ("Che gelida manina"): here we have some of opera's most beautiful love songs, sung by Pavarotti when he was in his golden-voiced prime.

His "Una furtiva lagrima" is touching and gentle, while his rendition of the Neapolitan song "Core 'ngrato" -- a diatribe against his lover's rejection of him -- is heartbreaking. Radames's hymn to Aida ("Celeste Aida") in which he sees Aida as "the splendor of [his] life," is glorious, and all of the other selections are equally fine. For lovers and others, this is a handsome collection.

IS UNCONSCIONABLE. MARTHA

The greatest tenor ~ 02 November, 2008

Pavarotti is without doubt the greatest tenor for the last several decades. Even if you're not an opera fan, you'll enjoy this cd.

Amore - Pavarotti ~ 07 September, 2008

This is an amzing CD, probably one of Pavarotti's best. For anyone who loves opera and in particular this star, this is a MUST. Even more precious since Pavarotti's death.

Great Pavarotti sampler collection ~ 25 January, 2008

I got this CD for my teenaged son, who asked for a Pavarotti CD for Christmas. I chose this one among the plethora of recordings because it is a good sampler of the great man's best pieces. My son isn't much into operatic singing, but he loves Pavarotti. I wanted a recording that would "hit the high points" without being too exhaustive for someone who's not deeply interested. This recording has a mix of some of my favorite arias and Neapolitan songs that I wanted my son to hear. It's really a nice set of pieces for beginners, and those who just want a little Pavarotti collection. My son loves it.

Magnifico! ~ 18 October, 2007

What else is there to say except this CD is magnifico! I'm surprised mine still plays, I have played it so much since I got it. Mr. Pavarotti I will surely miss the sound of your voice. Te amo mucho.
