5.0 out of 5 stars An all-star presentation of life and survival!, July 11, 1999

By A Customer

Pavarotti and Friends for War Child is the second but not the last, of Pavarotti's efforts to make visible that which we would prefer to ignore. From his opening prayer of Holy Mother, he pleads for compassion. Eric Clapton's blues-trained voice melds effortlessly and makes us also want redemption and grace. Interestingly placed on the same theme is Joan Osborne's St Teresa. Joan sings of looking from the depths of desolation to a possible savior. Euro-pop tunes featured are poignant studies in our humanity and most are worth our listening. Pavorotti's collection ends with Live Like Horses-- Elton John's tribute to the life of Versace. He asks that we kick down our fences and move on! to live free and noble as does our equine friend. Thank you Pavarotti. Your wisdom and far-reaching voice beacons and then gently educates us. Our lives-- as the War Child's, WILL continue and evolve.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pavarotti & Friends - For War Child , February 20, 2009

By	Barbara R. Mosser - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very disapointed in this purchse. My daughter in-law showed me how to buy from Amazon. When she bought this for me it did not say it was going to take a long time to be delivered to me and it did not say made in UK. after i received it I tried to use it but it would not work. It was several weeks befor I could get someone to help me look at what was wrong. I took it to a shop and they tried it and it would only play audio and at this time it was too late to return it. Im note sure if I will make any more purchaces again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Content great, format too high-tech., March 20, 2006

By	Donna L. Scott (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although I thoroughly enjoy the music on Pavarotti & Friends For War Child, I could not play the CD as purchased on either of my CD players because it was in a 5.1 format. A friend copied it onto a disc I can play.
I feel that CD's purchased through your company should be in formats able to be used be the masses, instead of a select few that are able to have state-of-the-art machinery.
Other than that, I am extremely happy with your service (I was a first-time buyer), and with the CD as a whole. Thanks.
