This disc contains an overview of some of Pavarotti s most famous and beloved recorded opera arias and songs, opening with a universal favorite, La donna è mobile from Rigoletto, followed by Amici miei from Donizetti s comedy La figlia del reggimento. This aria brought down the house at Pavarotti s Metropolitan Opera debut in 1972. Having delivered nine faultless high Cs in this one impossible aria, he received a record 17 curtain calls. Che gelida manina from Puccini s La Bohème shows Pavarotti in one of his signature roles; it would remain a standard throughout his 40-year career. The disc also features selections by Donizetti, Verdi, and Leoncavallo, climaxing in Nessun dorma from Puccini s Turandot, which he had sung at the World Cup in Italy in 1990.
