Pavarotti: Greatest Hits Reviews: Great listening  2008-07-27 - I love this music. Great for long drives when stations fade in and out. Pavarotti's best!!!
The Best  2008-01-01 - This CD is the best one I've ever heard by Pavarotti. Holds many favorites and is an excellent introduction to opera for those who either aren't familiar with it, or think they can't enjoy it. Many exquisite songs paired with his magnificent voice, it's truly a treat.
A wonderful voice  2007-10-18 - I have many CD's by Pavorotti but this is a complete collection and something I had to have after the death of the master.
It's quite simply wonderful.
Adio Maestro  2007-09-08 - His golden voiced may have been personally silenced, but his legacy in these masterful recordings, any of the recording really, will endure for generations to come.
He was in a pantheon of his own.
Cornucopia of Pavarotti's works  2007-03-01 - This is a "Super hits" CD, with over forty different cuts (quite a few of which have appeared elsewhere, of course). For those who are aficionados of Pavarotti, this is what might be called "hog heaven."
Disc 1 features estimable works such as "Nessun dorma" (well done, with his voice showing to good effect), "Che gelida manina" (excellently done, with good characterization), ""Celeste Aida" (elegantly sung), "Di quella pira" (a much better than average version), "E lucevan le stelle" (Pavarotti does a nice job in the Puccini-Verdi repertoire), "La donna e mobile" (sung with aplomb), "Recondita armonia" (the other aria from Tosca, which also shows Pavarotti's voice off to good effect), and so on.
Disc 2 is especially interesting, because it features a more popular set of works, from the redoubtable "O sole mio" (richly orchestrated and nicely sung, not overpowered by Pavarotti's operatic voice), "Core n'grato" (compare with Caruso's version), "Oh, holy night," "La danza" (spritely sung with excellent breath control in a treacherous song), "Santa Lucia" (again, smoothly sung), "Ave Maria" (seemingly sung with respect and affection).
A cornucopia of Pavarottiana. For those fans of Pavarotti, this "greatest hits" collection will be welcome. For those who may not be aware of this tenor when his voice was still fresh, this is a fine entrée to his work.
