Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Essential Recording

If you plan to get just one recording of the three tenors circus, this is the one to have, made when their now tired act was still fresh and new. All three perform both classical and popular material, all three have a few solo numbers particularly apt for showing off what is unique about them, and all three work together smoothly in the international pop medley at the end, when Luciano Pavarotti hams up "O sole mio" and the other two imitate him. José Carreras lacks Plácido Domingo's power and Pavarotti's tonal splendor, but he has some of the best material and he does it justice. His selections include standard operatic arias, Neapolitan song ("Core 'ngrato"), and the all-time Spanish favorite, "Granada." --Joe McLellan
