This 1990 World Cup concert, which launched the Three Tenors phenomenon, has a beautiful open air setting at the Caracalla Baths in Rome. This means however, a loss of acoustics. Orchestral sounds that would be enriched by a little reverberation literally drift away on the evening breeze. But the singing is excellent. They sing 4 solos each, then - after a sinfonia, or orchestral interlude - 3 more as a trio; 16 tracks in all. All three singers are perfectly at ease in the Romance languages, but struggle with German and English, sometimes quite badly. In the worst example, 'Maria' from West Side Story, Pavarotti bellows, "Say it soft and it's almost like praying". Well, we'll have to take his word for it.

"the world's three most famous tenors" the description says and famous they are, but one shines above the rest and watching this performance I think he knew he was the best. It will be a long time before we see another performance such as this, if ever, and I think Pavarotti has the most natural tenor voice of them all.This DVD is a wonderful record of the definitive three tenors concert and the sound quality is superb.Who cares if there is a bonus disc with a karaoke version of 'O sole mio, who would want to listen to that when the maestro is there to sing it for you?
This DVD is a must, for the rest I prefer to just hear his beautiful voice on CD.
