| Professional Review: |
| Resplendent in voice and manner, José Carreras, Placido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti deliver 21 songs of traditional sacred music and secular numbers in a remarkable 1999 live recording from the opulent Viennese concert hall (Konzerthaus), with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and a renowned choir. The Three Tenors are practically as famous as the faces of Mount Rushmore and inspire perhaps even more awe and adulation around the world than the four presidents. The performances--whether alone, in tandem, or simply as the threesome that has made them collectively famous--are generally impeccable for their passion, nuance, and sheer tour de force vocal artistry. Reaching often into the classical realm for such works as the traditional German carol "Susani," Strauss's and Brahms's "Wiegenlied," plus traditional Polish and Spanish pieces, the trio also visits Pavarotti's "Ave Maria, dolce Maria" (cowritten with Vittoriano Benvenuti), and "Un nuevo siglo," written by Domingo's son. Only John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Happy Christmas/War Is Over" doesn't quite work in this grand setting. --Martin Keller |

Summary: Did they practice at all for this? Maybe I'm too critical, but this is horrible and worse than a high school concert. I think the person who wrote that it sounded like a Saturday Night Live skit is right on. Hey, maybe we should call them up and have them do it! Anyway, there are times the singers rush the orchestra, they time cutoffs poorly, they aren't synchronized, they mess up the tempo, etc. Not the orchestra - the singers. It sounds like an impromptu concert where they are holding the sheet music in front of their eyes for the first time and are recording it in one take. And it's true, to hear an American folk song sung in an operetic voice just sounds wrong - and it is wrong. I bought this for myself and now I'm using it for a White Elephant gift at work. Summary: Horrible~ I'm sorry, but I have to be honest. My first impression when I first listened to this CD was that it must be playing backwards! This music sounded completely out of tune and honestly like a big joke! I actually couldn't help but laugh at how awful it was! Also, if you are going to sing in English, there is no need to roll your R's! This CD sounds like a skit off of Saturday Night Live. Once again, I'm just giving you my honest account and am not exaggerating my impression one bit. Don't waste your money... catch it on TV if you really must hear it. Summary: More Yelling From The Fat Boys Three fine classical performers raking in the dough while trashing their illiterate fans. Summary: WOW!! The first person who rated this is surely wrong. This cd ROCKS!! Wonderful quality! Great pictures included. Summary: Wow! This is a teriffic CD! Even though I am a different religion from this, I still love the quality and the singing. |
