Notes & Personnel Info |  | Recorded at Parco Novi Sad, Modena, Italy on June 6, 2000. Includes liner notes by Luciano Pavarotti. | | This document of the great tenor's ninth annual children's charity concert was recorded in the presence of the Dalai Lama. As usual, Pavarotti's friends are an eclectic group of pop musicians from around the world, with all the stylistic differences that would imply. The reunited Eurythmics perform a riveting acoustic version of (fittingly enough) "I Saved the World Tonight." George Michael absolutely slays the crowd with an impassioned rendition of the Depression era chestnut "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime." | | Danish popsters Aqua are appropriately bubbly on "Funiculi, Funicula," one of several duets with Pavarotti, who also blends surprisingly well with Brazilian pop star Caetano Veloso and, of all people, earnest folkie Tracy Chapman. The whole affair ends with a heartfelt (and note-faithful) version of the Beatles "All You Need is Love" by the entire cast. This is good music for a good cause. |

| | Bio | | With his many appearances not only on the greatest international opera and concert stages, but also on television, in movies and in arena concerts, Luciano Pavarotti's impact on the world of music has been enormous, broadening the horizons of classical music and bringing untold numbers of new fans to his art. Born in Modena, Italy, Luciano Pavarotti first sang in that city's chorus with his father who was a member of the local opera house's chorus and a fervent lover of opera and the tenor voice. On a journey to Wales, the chorus won first prize in an international choral competition, and this experience fired his musical ambitions. He had trained to become a teacher, but then decided to pursue a musical career, to his father's great joy. Luciano Pavarotti made his American debut in February of 1965 in Miami in Lucia di Lammermoor with Joan Sutherland, beginning what would become a historic partnership. In 1968, he made his Metropolitan Opera debut. At the Met on February 17, 1972, the house erupted in a frenzied ovation at the conclusion of his aria including nine high C's in a revival of Donizetti's La Fille du RŽgiment with Joan Sutherland, and the Pavarotti phenomenon was born. Mr. Pavarotti celebrated his 25th Anniversary Season with the Metropolitan Opera in 1993-94, appearing in their Opening Night Gala Performance in which he sang the first act of Verdi's Otello on stage for the first time. In June of 1993, Mr. Pavarotti presented a concert in New York's Central Park where a crowd of 500,000 gathered on the Great Lawn, and millions more watched the televised program on the PBS network and in Europe. Mr. Pavarotti has appeared in special "Three Tenors" concerts with his colleagues, JosŽ Carreras and Placido Domingo, and conductor, Zubin Mehta, first at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome in 1990, and later at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in 1994, both concerts performed on the eve of the World Cup finals. In the summer of 1994, the Three Tenors appeared with conductor James Levine on tour in the USA, Japan and Europe to immense acclaim.
