Luciano Pavarotti - The Man And His Music

On 12 october 1935 in Modena, Italy Luciano Pavarotti, a legend in the making, was born. The son of a baker and amateur tenor, singing was clearly in his blood, but it was football that first brought him into the limelight when he showed considerable talent playing for his local club. But soccer was to be a lasting passion rather than a direction in life, and a passion he stills follows with undimmed enthusiasm. His baptism into the world of music came about when performing with his father in the Modena Chorus, winning first prize in an international competition. This produces a spark bright enough to ignite a flame in his heart that was, and still is, filling every auditorium in which he appears. This exclusive DVD gives an opportunity to see and listen to a compilation from his performance in Barcelona singing lesser known arias and sonnets to a spellbound audience. Performance listing: 1.
