Pavarotti

Luciano Pavarotti (tenor)

Introducing the official soundtrack release to the hotly anticipated new documentary by the Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard. Probably the most famous artist in the history of classical music, Pavarotti was a unique phenomenon. From humble roots as a baker's son to sold out arena tours; Pavarotti possessed a voice of pure gold and innate beauty, precision and expressiveness.

This release includes his most popular, signature arias & songs alongside iconic live moments from some of the biggest concerts ever to take place.

Luciano Pavarotti (1935-2007), de bekendste en misschien wel meest getalenteerde operazanger ooit, had een leven met uitzonderlijke hoogtepunten en zware dieptepunten. In de film 'Pavarotti' brengt regisseur Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind, Inferno) een ode aan één van de grootste artiesten aller tijden. De soundtrack bevat alle muziek van Pavarotti die tijdens de film te horen is, waaronder Nessun Dorma en het nooit eerder op cd verschenen Ave Maria met Bono.
