Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Exploitation on the Cheap Comment: I ordered despite seeing on line before purchase that most of the selections were in the massive, beautifully executed Pavarotti Edition. I hoped the extras would be worth the expense. Unfortunately, the execution was shoddy. The set in packaged in flimsy cardboard. The discography is limited to his Universal-labels sound recordings-no DVDS, no EMI, no RCA, and, of course, none of the many unauthorized issues of opera-house performance recordings. The biography is meagre, the booklet attains its length by providing multiple translations, and unlike the Edition, song texts and translations are absent. Pavarotti lovers should buy the Edition; at best the Story is for those unfamiliar with the great tenor. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This commemorative set documents Pavarotti's life story in both words and music. Presented in superb, high quality packaging including a 70 page illustrated booklet of Pavarotti's life story, a complete 82 page fullcolor illustrated Pavarotti discography and two principal CDs as well as two bonus CDs. James Jolly's essay A Tenor for our Times is presented alongside notes on each of the songs and arias, all in three languages (English, French,German). Of the CDs, containing many of his outstanding and most-loved recordings, the first is entitled The Operas, the second Sacred Arias and Neapolitan Songs, while the two bonus CDs contain "Pavarotti in conversation": The Great Tenor in his own words, and his original Debut EP recording from 1964 alongside six bonus tracks crossing from opera to duets with Bono, Elton John and Frank Sinatra.
