Average Rating: 
Rating: - beyond our expectations
This dvd was purchased as an early Mother's Day Present for my elderly mother. She has watched it nearly every night because she can't get enough. As an opera lover myself, absolutely loved the Karoeke of O Sole Mio! We were totally surprised about the "Impossible Dream" dvd of the making of this "historic" video. It is worth purchasing solely based on the historic nature of this concert. It was really beyond our wildest expectations. The price is well worth it.
Rating: - Three Tenors
This product.technically,was superb visually as well as the audio. The extras, especially the history of the concert,added to my enjoyment.For aficionados of classical music, this is a must add.
Rating: - The Three Tenors
These great singers work beautifully together in this historical concert. A wonderful memorial to Pavarotti!
Rating: - The Tree Tenors - Forever!!!
Thie is a GREAT DVD of the 3 Tenors in their prime. It's also brings back wonderful memories of Maestro Pavarotti now that he has left us. This DVD has also behind the scene clips of rehersals & how they organized the concert to celebrate the 1990 World Cup in Italy. The DVD is worth the price for a piece of musical history which will live on forever.
Rating: - Reviewing the Australian format of the DVD
All the good things that have been said about the (long previously available) US format of this DVD are true for this one too. This was the concert that made opera popular, and Pavarotti a household name (Domingo and Carreras each got to be "one of the other three tenors" - until much later). And the reason it did that was primarily due to a) their song choice - including popular numbers such as Tonight, from West Side Story, for instance, broke down the perceived divide between opera singers and the average music listener; and b) the mischievous playfulness of Domingo and Carreras' reply to Pavarotti's fioratura in the encore - along with Pavarotti's astonishment and hearty spontaneous laughter in response. These might be opera singers, but they were having fun, and the audience, live and televised, had fun with them.
I've been waiting for more than a decade for this DVD to come out, continually frustrated by trying to order the other format only to be told "it won't work in Australian DVD players. My only gripe is that they changed the cover - why should we Aussies not be able to have the orignal cover too?
Watching it with the benefit of nearly 20 years hindsight, perhaps what it shows most clearly is how developed Pavarotti's voice was at that time compared with Domingo and Carreras, both of whom have since become much more equal competition for Luciano. That said, nothing hides the sheer magic of Pavarotti as a singer. Long may the DVDs live as a testimony to ... Read More
