This disc is a live recording of one of the most popular concerts ever given, the Three Tenors Concert of 1990. It achieved huge listening and viewing figures when it was broadcast on radio and television throughout the world, and the disc has sold more than 10 million copies. It is not hard to see why- -these really are three of the greatest tenor voices in the world, and the joyous surprise of hearing them all together, and the simple, infectious fun of the event crackles (metaphorically!) on every track. Part of the fun, of course, lies in comparing the voices--the darkness of Domingo's more baritonal range with Pavarotti's silvery polish--and how each one of them can take a familiar aria or song and breathe new life into it. Considering this is a live recording, the standard of reproduction is surprisingly high--but then the point of this disc is not to achieve studio-quality recording, but to recapture the spirit of a great event. --Warwick Thompson
 Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti in Concert, 2010-02-07
As always with these Tenors the singing is top-class. I've said it before and I will say it again, to have Voices like this is a GIFT FROM GOD. It was a great loss to the world when Pavarotti died. I highly reccommend this c.d.

This Rigoletto has been around for so long it might be easy to take it for granted or skip it for a newer set. Don't! It features all three principals in superb voice, as well as pacing from Bonynge that is much heavier on drama than most of us expect from him. Sutherland may sound a bit mature (and mush-mouthed) for Gilda, but not only is she sympathetic, she sings gorgeously. And speaking of gorgeous, those familiar only with the Pavarotti of latter years would be wise to hear him here--this is stylish, full-blooded, Golden Age singing. The beautifully round tone, the easy high notes, the impeccable diction, and the pointed characterisation are unique. Milnes, in the title role, is also in splendid voice, offering smooth legato, brilliant, Verdian ring and real attention to the text. The analogue sound is excellent. No other modern recording offers the visceral thrill of this Rigoletto--go for it. --Robert Levine
A classic, 2009-08-05
This is the Rigoletto of Rigolettos. Sutherland is in supreme voice, not at all too mature-sounding as some reviewers here have commented. The control, poise, ravishing tone, the perfect ethereal trill that seems to go on forever at the end of 'Caro nome' are in a league of their own. Pavarotti gives one of the most ardently beautiful accounts of the Duke's glorious music to be heard on disc. Milnes is a real Rigoletto, magnificent of voice and human, not all malevolence - just as the role should be sung if we are to have sympathy for his tragic plight. No, be assured: this is the most satisfying recording of this classic to be found. They don't have voices like this any more. We should be grateful they were recorded together for posterity, in pristine sound from Decca.

Back in 1990, three of the world's most celebrated tenors, namely José Carreras, Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotii, combined forces to create the Three Tenors, now celebrated on a "best of" CD. They gave their first concert in Rome; that event was recorded and went on to become one of the best-selling classical titles of all time. This latest release brings together tracks from that night in Rome (including "Nessun dorma" and a competitive rendition of "O sole mio") with music performed in a 1994 concert in Los Angeles as well as at the 1998 event in Paris where the Three Tenors sang to an audience of thousands with the Eiffel Tower as their spectacular backdrop. The 22 tracks which comprise The Best of the Three Tenors range from operatic standards, such as the joyful "Brindisi" from La traviata to popular songs including "Singin' in the rain" via songs from the shows ("You'll Never Walk Alone" from Carousel). There are no solos on this disc--each piece is performed by all three singers. And with plenty of applause and cheering to be heard, not to mention the sense of fun in the singers' voices, the disc truly captures the atmosphere of these extra...
The Best of the Three Tenors, 2003-12-08
I am not really a classical music buff, but with my father in law being one its an obvious choice for presents. knowing that he likes the 3 tenors is a big help seeing as i do not really know much at all about classical music apart form the odd few bits world cup and films. I bought this disc for his birthday not really relishing the thought of hearing it, however I was pleasently supprised indeed. This was very easy on the ears indeed and shock horror on the whole i enjoyed cd there was the odd one i was not that overly keen on not to sure which one it was called i think it was track 4 Sous le ciel de Paris. By comparrison you'll never walk alone i thought was very enjoyable along with nessumdora the world cup anthum from a few years back now. Untill listening to this cd i thought this to be a bit highbrow and deffinatelly not my cup off tea at all even for my (heinz 57) taste trance,rock,reggea,tamla garage etc my 19 month old daughter was bopping along to it even my wife thought it was good. What was more worrying still i purchased a copy myself to add to my collection looks a bit odd being just below deaf leppard. If you are into classical music or not this is well worth adding to your collection and hey you might find you like it and play it a lot more than you thought you would, I certainly did! if you do not its a good present for someone who does. The cover looks good to

From the exquisite phrasing of the opening orchestra, this recording establishes itself as the standard by which all others should be measured. Herbert von Karajan's orchestra is no less than perfect, as much a virtuostic performer as the singers, evoking each moment's unique mood. Can there be any doubt that Luciano Pavarotti and Mirella Freni were born to sing Puccini? Their sweet, creamy voices splendidly blend, creating a complete aural portrait of the bohemians' souls. Elizabeth Harwood is a wonderfully high-strung Musetta, with the vocal talent to support her many moods. The greatest recording ever of the world's most beloved opera. --Barbara Eisner Bayer
La Boheme, 2010-02-01
An excellent recording of a popular opera. It is especially rewarding to hear the late Luciano Pavarotti recorded when in his superlative prime. The whole recording is first class in every respect ,and I would unhesitatingly recommend it to any potential purchaser.

Terrific!, 2009-05-21
Whether you respond to Puccini's tale of cruelty is one thing. The fact that this recording is terrific is quite beyond doubt. This must be one of Sutherland's best performances in the title role, with Pavarotti being, well, Pavarotti - incomperable. Caballe is luxury casting as Lui and Mehta conducts with penache. The best modern recording.

simply the best, 2006-09-26
If you like great music and admire a truly unique vocal talent then this is for you.
Covering many standard opera arias and his native neopolitan songs, hard to imagine how this album could be bettered.
The 'voice' is in thrilling form - never more so than in track 9 which is breathtakingly awesome in it's power.
Add to that the warmth and brilliance he brings to all the other tracks and you get to hear every aspect of the voice which has probably done more than any other to bring opera to the masses
Rock on Pav you really are the man!
