From Amazon.co.uk
This disc is a live recording of one of the most popular concerts ever given, the
Three Tenors Concert of 1990. It achieved huge listening and viewing figures when it was broadcast on radio and television throughout the world, and the disc has sold more than 10 million copies. It is not hard to see why- -these really are three of the greatest tenor voices in the world, and the joyous surprise of hearing them all together, and the simple, infectious fun of the event crackles (metaphorically!) on every track. Part of the fun, of course, lies in comparing the voices--the darkness of Domingo's more baritonal range with Pavarotti's silvery polish--and how each one of them can take a familiar aria or song and breathe new life into it. Considering this is a live recording, the standard of reproduction is surprisingly high--but then the point of this disc is not to achieve studio-quality recording, but to recapture the spirit of a great event. --
