About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and José Carreras became the Three Tenors at a concert held in Rome's Baths of Caracalla on the eve of the 1990 World Cup final. Initially joining together to celebrate Carreras's victory over leukemia (as well as their shared passion for soccer), they grew into classical music's phenomenon of the decade, performing in a world tour and two further World Cup concerts in L.A. and Paris (in 1994 and 1998, respectively). Nearly a third of the planet -- two billion people in 75 countries -- tuned in to the last one, held in front of the Eiffel Tower. The Best of the Three Tenors gathers selections from the three World Cup concerts, but unlike their previous albums, each track features all three tenors together (as impresario Tibor Rudas insisted), with James Levine and Zubin Mehta conducting the orchestral accompaniment. In all, it's 22 tracks of classic songs and famous arias, sung by perhaps the three most-heard voices in the history of the world. EJ Johnson, Barnes & Noble

July 11, 2009: What can be said about the Three Tenors that hasn't already been remarked on, or joked about. Forget the hype. They are fantastic, always and this records boils down the recordings to a truly best of collection. Over the top? Bombastic? Schmaltzy thunder? Oh but of course. Enjoy!
