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.

DVD : The Irish Tenors
A wonderful concert in your own living room. This video is packed full of well-known Irish songs - the sad, the funny, the quirky and the fine classics. The tenors are first class and very, very easy to listen to. This would make a wonderful gift for parents or older relatives. Watch it with them!

I love this film. It has something for everyone. It is funny and a gentle love story, with a great cast. I would suggest sitting down with the whole family to watch this one.

DVD : My Favourite Broadway - The Leading Ladies - Live At Carnegie Hall
This is a wonderful piece of concert theatre. Everyone is on good form and seem almost determined to outdo each other.

Julie Andrews doesn't sing, but still looks and sounds amazing (though she does need to have words with her costume designer).

The true revelation is Linda Eder, who'd been 'bubbling under' before now and finally achieved the complete star status she deserved. Her rendition of Man of La Mancha is amazing - just listen to that note she comes up with near the end, and all whilst looking like it's a stroll in the park for her.

Other highlights include Rebecca Luker, Marin Mazzie, Judy Kuhn, Dorothy Loudon's heartbreaking 'Fifty Percent', Debra Monk's hilariously raunchy 'Everybody's Girl' and the party pieces by Faith ... Read More:
