Fully remastered versions of the maestro's finest moments. Nick Bailey's Album of the Week, 2 September 2013.
Luciano Pavarotti's record label Decca has pulled together almost three hours of the legendary tenor's greatest moments - including all the hits such as Nessun Dorma, O sole mio, Caruso, Santa Lucia, Volare and many more.
The album also contains the premiere release of the first known recording of Pavarotti's voice, the aria Che gelida manina from Puccini's La Boheme, recorded at his Italian professional debut in 1961.
Other highlights include collaborations with superstar friends Frank Sinatra, Bono, Eric Clapton and Sting plus fellow tenors Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras in the live Three Tenors version of Nessun Dorma.
Remastered to sound the best they ever have done, these 50 Greatest Tracks offer a definitive collection of the music of one of the greatest classical artists of the 20th century.
