RECORDING INFORMATION
The Great Luciano Pavarotti's first complete solo recital from 1968.

The World's favourite tenor in gloriously youthful voice and singing his beloved Verdi and Donizetti.

Early recordings of many roles he would go on to define on stage and on record.

What can one say - if indeed words are needed at all about the world's most famous opera singer, Luciano Pavarotti?

Suffice to say that this, his first complete solo recital for Decca (made in June 1968) makes a welcome return to the catalogue with original cover art. In this mixture of Verdi and Donizetti - featuring arias from both well-known operas and rarer works - Pavarotti sets down an early indication of two areas of the operatic repertory in which he has excelled over the years.

Classic Recitals - www.deccaclassics.com/classicrecitals
Decca's recorded legacy is dominated by the huge number of complete opera recordings and vocal recitals. While a vast number of these recordings have seen CD release in the past 20 years, many of the original LP recitals have been reissued with other material in order to increase the overall playing time due to the longer time available on CD and modern covers have replaced the originals.

This new mini-series is unashamedly nostalgic and presents original recitals as they were first published during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Original LP cover art is reproduced and the original back of the LP is used as the inside of the digipack. A clear tray is used with a detail from the original LP sleeve as a background, and the back of the digipack gives the tracklist and artist details in a uniform, current style.
