Luciano Pavarotti has certainly secured a place for himself in the pantheon of great operatic tenors. In addition, he has established himself as the consummate interpreter of traditional and popular Italian song. He's affected audiences with his masterful combination of vocal power, emotion, and lyricism.
PAVAROTTI - ITALIAN WEDDING FAVORITES is essentially a greatest hits collection showcasing the various facets of Pavarotti's artistry. The selections include operatic arias, sacred songs, and traditional Italian songs, all amply demonstrating Pavarotti's inimitable skills. The performances are all excellent, having been recorded during Pavarotti's vocal prime, and the disc culminates in a majestic performance of his signature showpiece, "Nessun dorma."
Included among the "encores" are two Puccini arias: "O mio babbino caro" from 'Gianni Schicchi' and "Musetta's Waltz" from 'La Bohème,' both featuring the soprano Mirella Freni. Also included is a beautiful version of "Canta pe me" done by Giuseppe Di Stefano, a predecessor of Pavarotti's in the line of great Italian tenors. Opera aficionados will be well familiar with the material presented, but ITALIAN WEDDING FAVORITES is a fine introduction to the art of one of the greatest tenors of all time.
