Powerful and also subtly characterizing, Vittorio Grigòlo makes a convincing return after a long break: with verismo arias from Mascagni, Cilea to Puccini, in which the celebrated tenor gives his all.

Luciano Pavarotti One of the most successful and admired opera singers of all time, Luciano Pavarotti was king among tenors from the late 1960s through the 1990s. His voice was noted for its exciting upper register, and tailor-made for the operas of Verdi, Bellini, Donizetti, and Puccini, and as it darkened slightly over the years, for the verismo composers as well. His vocal longevity, which kept him singing youthfully well into his sixties, and still beautifully after that, was a credit to his commanding technique and artistry, and remarkable considering his nearly 40 years of performing.
