Carreras · Domingo · Pavarotti: The Three Tenors in Concert / Mehta

the voices are all in tune.this is very essential to any serious CD collection.it's a pleasure hearing the talent displayed here.i also caught the Performances on PBS.

Yesterday I had to record one side of a 90 minute tape. So I had to cut this CD down to 45 minutes. I found I ended up cutting Granada and three of the mixed trio tracks: Tonight, Memory and Wien. The resulting 44 minutes is really superior. I couldn't get Memory within the time, but you can easily bag all the others (Tonight, etc.) and vastly improve this CD.

While I am generally against these guys making any more of these records(their voices are past their primes), this one was a unique event. None of the concerts they have done together since has equalled the novelty or quality of this original concert. This is just a wonderful disc, whether you are a serious classical/opera fan, or just want to add some variety to your collection. Domingo's rendition of "E lucevan le stelle" is very fine, as is Carreras in "Granada" and "Il lamento di Federico". Pavarotti's voice is fresh in "Recondita armonia", "Rondine al nido", and "Torna a Surriento". They are all beautifully done and they mostly stick to opera arias, with thankfully few popular/broadway tunes thrown in. These guys should stick to opera, what they do best! Mehta and the joint orchestras sound quite good. A bit of trivia: this is the best selling classical album of all time, deservedly so in my opinion.

Absolutely beautiful and simply breathtaking!!! A treasure in the form of a C.D.! Please make this part of your C.D. collection!!!

A classical music piece you must have. I knew it was a wise and rewarding decision to purchase this CD when I heard it. The versatility, ranges and styles are amaging. You won't regret it!
