Summary: A Master Work!
Review: As a long time Tenor fan, from the days of Enrico, this is a MAster work. It does not get any better. Luciano Pavarotti showed himself as the Master of all, with some great perfomances by each, Placido Domingo performs a master work with his rendition of No Puede Ser. The encore of the the three is awesome! The double of O sole mio at the end is a fantastic blend of audible and interactive talent. If there is one you must buy, this is it. Will

Summary: Unbelievable!
Review: I was very impressed by the results of the DVD much less the the Three Great Tenors of the World and having surround sound set up it is just incredible. It was like you could breathe the air right there in the Concert 1990 in Rome.

Summary: The Three Tenors at Their Best
Review: This concert, along with the Rome concert, were the two best the Tenors have ever done. The Tenors all seemed to be at the same level, in terms of sweetness, and richness. However, there was one clear standout. Luciano Pavarotti, with his good ear, makes him absolutely phenomenal, and he is always in tune, with all the right notes at all the right times. All his arias were outstanding, but the one that most impressed me was Nessun Dorma, from Puccini's "Turandot". His pronunciation was perfect, (no wonder, he's Italian) and the singing was beautiful. Carreras sang Granada very well, with pretty good pronunciation, and a sweet tone. Domingo did an excellent job singing, "No puede ser". The he puts the notes with the words is just great. The orchestra of two-hundred, under the command of Zubin Metha was excellent. If there was such a thing as "6-star" rating, this video would get it.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This DVD looks and sounds wonderful and how could it not with three of the worlds greatest tenors. Who would have thought this concept would work, but it did and does; the blending of the three; one low, one in the middle and one high is excellent-The voices perfectly match. The concert song selection is excellent and its just fun.

Summary: very enjoyable
Review: This remains my favourite of the three big concerts done in conjunction with the World Cup. The participation of 2 full orchestras instead of one is appropriate for such a major event, and they were rehearsed until they sounded as one large orchestra instead of two, which apparently was quite a difficult task. This was a welcoming of Jose Carreras into the music community after his terrible ordeal with leukemia. My favourite parts are when the tenors sing together, and since Domingo's voice is quite baritonal - he has done The Barber of Seville recently - whereas Pavarotti's tenor is at the highest range, and Carrera's is in the middle, they can all be heard quite clearly without overpowering each other. The programming is interesting too, and the fioratura duel between them in 'o sole mio adds an original touch to the production. I believe Mehta conducted as well in this concert as he did in Los Angeles 4 years later. The audio quality is very fine too and better, based on my experience at a show in Vancouver BC a few years ago, than what one is likely to hear at a Three Tenors live concert. The picture does have some vertical oscillations, probably due to the use of hand-held cameras, which does detract from the concert's overall quality - hence 4 stars instead of 5.This can be warmly recommended in either VHS or DVD, although the latter format has slightly better sound and video quality.

Summary: Great performances but poorly filmed and recorded.
Review: Unfortunately, this video of the 3 Tenors in Paris is poorly executed. The scenery is gorgeous but the cameras are never held steady. The video is constantly jiggling. It is enough to make you sick to your stomach. The lighting is too contrasty and harsh; it looks very amateurish. The producers of this video could take lessons from the Andrea Bocelli "A Night in Tuscany" which is beautifully filmed. No jiggling and great close-ups of the performers including the musicians that make you feel involved with the performance. Due to this I can not recommend the 3 Tenors in Paris video.
