Scene from: Great Tenor Performances
Composer: Verdi, Puccini, Mozart, Rossini, Offenbach, Saint-Saëns, Giordano
Conductor:
Twelve great tenors: Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti and many others, are seen here in some of their best stage performances, all recorded from the world's finest opera house.
The tenor voice can be a very varied instrument. Here, the dramatic voices of Placido Domingo, Jon Vickers, Vladimir Atlantov and Giacomo Aragall are heard alongside the lyric tenor of José Carreras, Roberto Alagna, John Mark Ainsley and the virile sound of Franco Bonisolli and Nicola Martinucci, who ends the compilation with his performance of Nessun Dorma from Puccini's Turandot.
