This is mostly because of the singing ...             Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour) Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ... Decca, 2005 The best CD of Pavarotti, without question!

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008 Villazon Give His All -- Sometimes Too Much This is an exciting disk, sung with passionate conviction by one of the finest tenors in the world today.
