Overview

First released on LP in 1980, Pavarotti's Greatest Hits is back by popular demand, reissued as a 2-for-the-price-of-1 CD package. Chock full of his finest recorded performances, including "Nessun dorma," "La donna è mobile," and many more, the collection celebrates the work of the "King of the High C's" just as fans mourn the great tenor's death in September 2007.
