Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: This disc is a live recording of one of the most popular concerts ever given, the Three Tenors Concert of 1990. It achieved huge listening and viewing figures when it was broadcast on radio and television throughout the world, and the disc has sold more than 10 million copies. It is not hard to see why- -these really are three of the greatest tenor voices in the world, and the joyous surprise of hearing them all together, and the simple, infectious fun of the event crackles (metaphorically!) on every track. Part of the fun, of course, lies in comparing the voices--the darkness of Domingo's more baritonal range with Pavarotti's silvery polish--and how each one of them can take a familiar aria or song and breathe new life into it. Considering this is a live recording, the standard of reproduction is surprisingly high--but then the point of this disc is not to achieve studio-quality recording, but to recapture the spirit of a great event. --Warwick Thompson Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Three times 5***** by Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo- fans !Living in Oman/ Arabia, working in Abu Dhabi & Dubai/ U.A. Emirates and travelling for business reasons all over the Gulf region and the Middle East I like to discuss with my Arabian friends and customers about the world most famous opera singers and most popular popmusic singers of both cultures - the Western (European & North American) and the Oriental culture. We enjoy to listen to the best opera singers in Europe and in the Middle East. I was astonished to find CDs with music of Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti in the homes of my Arabian friends - no wonder, many of them studied in their youth in the U.S. or in U.K.! My friends in Arabia deeply admire and truly appreciate CARRERAS, DOMINGO and PAVAROTTI ! ... Read More: Rating: - And then there were twoThis is the recording of the first performance in the so-called `Three Tenors' series of concerts. Staged on the eve of the 1990 FIFA World Cup final in Italy on 7th July 1990, and broadcast live around the world, the event probably widened the listening audience of opera music more than any event in history and subsequently elevated the status of the three tenor singers Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti to superstar level. This latter point led to some disapproval of the sceptics who suggested that rather than bring music to the millions, it made millions for the musicians. In fact, probably both these statements are true and while it may be easy to criticise the singers for their financial gain, the contribution ... Read More: Rating: - Breath-takingThis is the first operatic CD I ever listened to and since then I have been hooked. The arias performed are great choices and Carreras especially sung the most profound. I have never been a real fan of Pavarotti I find him too 'wooden' and sure he may be technically perfect and can hit those high notes, he has no emotion or conviction. Domingo I don't think was at his best during this concert the songs are a little force but he sings them well and at least puts emotion into it. Carreras is my favourite tenor and I always find him highly under-rated....'the other guy' for any Seinfeld fans! He sings superbly and so heart-feld I can't understand anyone who isn't moved to pieces whilst listening to L'improvvisio. The ... Read More: Rating: - Great singing from the three tenorsThis cd is a must-have for anyone even slightly interested in opera. And when you're at it - why don't buy the dvd from the concert? It will make you appreciate the cd even more. In my opinion you have to be dead not to be touched by Carreras' rendition of "Lamento di Federico" and "L'improvviso". If anybody can deliver a line it has to be Carreras. When it comes to his interpretation of "Granada" even conductor Zubin Mehta was gobsmacked. Watching the dvd you can see him putting down his baton and applauding. He even steps down from his podium to hug José. I have to say I'm not too keen on the two other tenors, although I have to admit I loved Pavarotti's "Torna a Surriento" and "Rondine al nido". The thing about Pavarotti is that he ... Read More: Rating:  - A great performance!This is one of the particularly good 3 Tenor cd's. I became disappointed with them when they performed a mock-operatic version of Singing In The Rain etc for their American performance in 1994. Somehow that one struck me as being a little too eager-to-please, and I didn't particularly appreciate it. However, this one is a very enjoyable cd and never too far from my player. |
