Bit of a "one hit wonder" - By: humph, 07 Oct 2007 
What a let down! I bought this for Nessum Dorma & found that the cupboard of his repertoire is actuallly pretty bare. Other than "Just one Cornetto" there aren't any big hits on this album. Surely they could have included the 1975 classic "everyone's a fruit & nut case"? More importantly, none of it is in english so i've no idea what he's on about.
That said, this guy can sing, proving, like Michelle McManus before him that being obese is no barrier if you have a decent voice. With the right material this guy could have a big career ahead of him. Maybe he should enter X-Factor, Simon Cowell could make him a big star.
THE KING IS DEAD LONG LIVE KING POTTS - By: Mr Frank Lee Bland, 08 Sep 2007 
Pavarotti is sadly gone but as if heaven sent by coincidence we have Paul Potts to walk in his shoes
The Best of One of the Greatest Tenors - By: Mart Music, 07 Sep 2007 
Released in 1997 this 2 CD compilation contains 40 of Pavarotti's most popular performances. The word 'special' should reallly be included before the front cover's mention of guest stars for the voices, albeit only one track each, of Cecilia Bartoli, Andrea Bocelli & the late Frank Sinatra. Their contributions make this a special album.
The album opens with 'Nessun Dorma', the piece which launched Pavarotti into worldwide popularity when it was used for the opening ceremony of the FIFA 1990 Footballl World Cup. Pavarotti's subsequent performance of this piece with Placido Domingo & Jose Carreras (during The Three Tenors Tour) on the eve of the World Cup final probably widened the appreciation of the general public to opera music more than any other performer of his generation.
Cecilia Bartoli & Andrea Bocelli accompany Pavarotti on opera music by composers Mascagni & Morante, while Frank Sinatra helps teach Pavarotti the right way to sing `My Way'.
This is a fine example of Pavarotti's skill at crossing different musical genres while promoting, & succeeding in popularising, operatic music into general culture.
A great CD for Pavarotti fans & opera lovers.
Pavarotti's finest - By: , 16 Mar 2004 HE'S BACK! This is a truly spiffing album! I was completely blown away! Pavarotti continues to be the most complete & absolutely superb opera singer around. As I was listening to it, my neigbours heard, and, even though they are of the rap kind, they came round to my house & listened, & they sheepishly admitted that they had been astounded by the marvelous music! Every single little bit is fantastic- congratulations Pavarotti! 10/10 WONDERFUL
