The celebrate the 30th anniversary of his first stage appearance in 1961, Pavarotti invited many of today's leading operatic stars to the Teatro Valli in Reggio Emilia. This gala concert proved one of the most distinguished and memorable of its kind…
This recording marks ground zero of the Three Tenors phenomenon and reminds you of all that it was supposed to be. There's only one tenor here–Luciano Pavarotti–and because he's partnered by different voice types–soprano Joan Sutherland and mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne– the possibilities of substantial artistic collaboration are much greater. Though this event was heavily hyped and would've driven audiences wild no matter what, the singers use the concert as an occasion to do things they'd never do on the opera stage, such as the Sutherland-Pavarotti duet from Otello".

This DVD features the Mk 5 version of the band, Ian Gillan, Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Roger Glover and Steve Morse at a concert in Florida in 2002. It really captures the excitement of a latter day Purple performance. Even although these guys are pushing 60 years old (Lord is fact 61), Morse is the youngest at 48; they put on a superb show. All the instrumentalists are at the top of their game but Gillan in particular is in really fine form, both with his voice and in entertainment value. He really knows how to engage the audience…
