Each singer brought a powerfully distinctive personal and musical style to the proceedings, yet they complemented each other in a way that proved irresistible to audiences. This best-of collection features a broad variety of examples of their winning formula. All the selections are collective efforts, yet the unique personality of each singer shines through: the smooth romanticism of Carreras, Domingo's dark elegance, and the old-school vocal fireworks of the larger-than-life Pavarotti. It's a thrilling demonstration of tenor artistry delivered jointly by three of the all-time greats.
If further validation is required of the phenomenon that is the Three Tenors, it's provided here with an emphatic exclamation point. What began as the simple idea of bringing together the three leading male voices of the operatic world to commemorate the 1990 World Cup evolved into an enormously successful franchise that produced album sales and arena-style tours of the type normally associated with superstar pop acts. Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and José Carreras achieved this extraordinary level of success not by merely showing up on the same stage at the same time, but by combining their considerable vocal abilities with canny musical instincts to produce a monumentally crowd-pleasing collaboration.

The Best of the Best of the Best It's humbling to try to write a review for such as this! When you have three of the greatest singers of all time, doing their best work of all time, not much more can be said concerning the quality of this CD. But I can testify to the inspiration it has given our children to appreciate quality music, and to shun second class entertainment. Their own singing has improved just by listening to these men. With the help of their influence, our children aspire to excellence and dignity, not only in their music, but in all areas of life. Music truly does have a profound influence on people's lives.
