A wonderful concert for a wonderful cause. The previous reviewer only gave it 4 stars because he said there were too many different styles of music. Well, that's the whole point. It is the music community, regardless of genre, getting together to raise funds to build a Music Centre in Bosnia-Hercegovina, which will provide music therapy, tuition and a space where music will be used to enable young people to learn, to grow and to be healed. Music is for everyone, and all these different artists getting together for the common good, regardless of genre, is wonderful. And on this album are a number of suprises. Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries singing with Pavorotti on "Ave Maria", Meat Loaf and Pavarotti duetting on "Come back to Sorrento", to name just two. A must have for music fans in general.

I finally got the Cd after wearing out two tapes. There are so many different artist on this, it's amazing. It is almost worth it just to hear Michael Bolton do opera! I don't like the man but he was good. Get this, it is worth a listen.

Live from the Parco Novi Sad, Modena, on 12 September 1995, in the presence of Diana, Princess of Wales, Pavarotti brings us his fourth spectacular charity concert, this time in aid of a music therapy centre being built in Mostar by War Child. As is usual with these concerts, Pavarotti brings together artists from all musical genres, and even does duets with some of them including Meat Loaf, Michael Bolton and Dolores O'Riordan. Track #2 is an astonishing blend of opera and rap...who woulda thunk it! The finale is Pavarotti's calling-card "Nessun Dorma" in which he is joined by the many other guests. Rap, folk, rock, opera, gospel and sacred music build a musical bridge in aid of a worthy cause.

A brilliant idea of Maestro Pavarotti, these concerts, and especially this one. I enjoyed the Ave Maria, where Dolores (one of my favourite pop-stars) clearly shows that she had some profit from canto classes she took in youth. But the "Linger" version was not alike, listening more to Simon Le Bon than the original voice...

Strange, but interesting and cool combination between rap and opera ("Serenata Rap/Mattinata"). Well, such things could never be seen before, eh?

A good bunch of masters packed in to make a great record for a good deal. But.. aren't there too many styles? Yhat's the missing star...

you want some good music and love a change of pace this album is worth it. pavarotti sings lioke an angel bringing out some true music. i feel it was worth it to have in my collection. its a hard find and now that pavarotti is gone its going to get harder to find his music.

I re-purchased it after I broke it by accident. All my favorite singers are in here Dolores O' Riordan, Bono, Zucchero,Simon Le Bon,Luciano Pavarotti and my favorite of all Jovanotti. I love this CD!
