3.0 out of 5 stars Festivie, but a little crowded......, April 18, 1999

By A Customer

When I first learned of this CD, I was determined to buy it. Then I borrowed a copy from my friend and changed my mind. This is not something that you can listen to again and again. Mind you, I do love all the singers, and I am a die-hard Pavarotti fan. It is just that with all different kinds of music mixing together in one concert, each loses some fineness and its own touch. The ensemble singing is festive, but very messy. But what can I say? It is a charity concert. Buy it if you need to keep a souvenir of Pavarotti and Adams (and others) singing together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent live album, November 8, 2001

By	G. Sawaged (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is the 2nd in the 'Pavarotti and Friends' series of benefit concerts. Although there are not the large amount of "superstars" on this cd as later 'Friends' albums were to have, this is an excellent live recording, and I could and have listened to it many times. I don't understand the previous reviewers, but to each his own! This album also introduced me to the beautiful voice of Nancy Gustafson, and I definately want to check out her other work now. And who can resist the wonderful pairing of Pavarotti and Bryan Adams on "O Sole Mio". Worth the price in itself. One thing though .. I know this album and concert was done for charity, but nowhere in the booklet or cd cover does it say which charity is benefitting. The booklet includes lots of photos from the night. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, February 7, 2002

By	Richard D. Cappetto "RickDC" (Moodus, CT United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a fun CD with many great singers and a good one. Of Course Pavarotti is one of the greatest voices ever; and along with Bocelli, Nancy Gustafson and Giorgia this CD is filled with great singing and Brian Adams is a good singer. Its just fun to hear Adams singing O Sola Mio with Pavarotti; and its Fun to Hear Pavarotti sing Moon River All for Love, etc.,. Highlights are Santa Lucia Luntana with Pav and Gustafson, Who Wants To Live Forever with Giorgia, Notte 'e Piscatore with Pav and Bocelli, and the two encores with everyone singing (All For Love and Brindisi). The Production of the CD is excelent as well.
