Here's a feast of great tenor singing. It's also a feast of thrills--one selection after another offers Pavarotti's remarkable, full-throated excitement in the music, whether the infectious spirit of his renditions of Neapolitan songs or the trumpet-like High C's he effortlessly tears off in the extended scene from Donizetti's La fille du regiment . Apparent throughout is Pavarotti's big-hearted emotional generosity that infuses this superb collection with an immediacy and communicative power that's impossible to resist. Of course, "Nessun dorma!" is here to lead off the set with the tenor's biggest hit, but his other Puccini arias are, if anything, even more compelling. Verdi is represented by such well-loved Pavarotti favorites as "La donna è mobile" and "Questa o quella" from Rigoletto . He's as compelling in the "Ingemisco" from Verdi's Requiem , the voice blooming in the "Inter oves" section and then fined down to a gorgeous pianissimo. But there's not a single weak track on these discs, whose attractions are enhanced by full texts and translations. --Dan Davis Back by popular demand Pavarotti's Greatest Hits.

An excellent selection of opera at its best.
The album draws from many of Pavarotti's performances to create a group of his best work. Pavarotti is a great tenor, and the scenes selected were excellent. It is a great selection of opera from many composers, singers and orchestras. It may lead you to explore composers you unfamiliar with. This is a very enjoyable album for people who love opera.

Pavarotti is the best that ever did it!
I grew up on old school jazz singers like Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald. Pavarotti fits in really well on that jazz playlist. It fits on ANY playlist!

Incredible !
I first got this CD at my library to see if I wanted it. After listening to just two pieces, I went ahead and bought it. It really didn't matter WHAT he was singing but the absolute beauty of his voice just got to me. While I love classical music, in particular, violin and piano pieces, I have come to really love just listening to the beauty of the human voice as done by Pavarotti and so many others. His version of Panis Angelicus and Ave Maria are perfect.

Pavortattis Greatest Hits
This is a fabulous 2-CD set. The big Honey Bear is in full cry and he is sweeter than ever! He hugs you with that warm, urgent voice and then when you're melted he knocks you out with his breathtaking high register. He is so loved. The booklet has the full Italian text of each aria with an English translation. So when I had to know what "larve d'amor" means, there it is, although the English is a very loose version. More like "memories of lost love". Who could not weep?
