"I wonder how this got to the CD stage? In spite of the fact the Pavarotti is aguably the 20th century's best tenor, this recording has got to be a joke. There have been better tapes made from the AM radio in my kitchen. The sound quality gets relentlessly poorer and poorer as the CD proceeds. I will not insult Pavarotti or myself by playing this again. I gave it one star simply because someone did a little work to get it onto a CD."
