. . . Pavarotti's most iconic and endearing moments . . . 3 hours of all your favourite highlights from an incredible recording career. This is Pavarotti as we best remember him: the voice that defined so many operatic roles in commanding and critically acclaimed performances, as well as the great story teller in popular Neapolitan songs such as "Funiculì, funiculà", "O' sole mio" and "Turno Surriento" . . . Experience the sheer emotional range of his voice in Bizet's "La fleur que tu m'avais jetée", its intelligence, delicacy and splendour in critically acclaimed performances from "La Bohème" with Karajan and an unmatched "Ingemisco" from Verdi's "Requiem" with Sir Georg Solti . . .

. . . Pavarotti in his prime . . .
Record Review / Christopher Cook, BBC Music Magazine (London) / 01. February 2018
. . . le plus grand ténor italien du XXè: un monstre sacré que sa voix belcantiste, au timbre solaire a porté au sommet de la gloire, sachant pourtant toujours être généreux, simple, et surtout promoteur d'un chant lyrique en rien élitiste . . . Legato de rêve, style nuancé en vrai belcantiste, timbre solaire, articulation de l'italien somptueuse¿ Luciano Pavarotti avait tout. Certes le corps impressionnant du géant au mouchoir blanc en faisait un piètre acteur sur la scène, mais la voix incarnait totalement l'enjeu dramatique de chaque air.
