About
Introducing the official soundtrack release to the hotly anticipated new documentary by the Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard. Probably the most famous artist in the history of classical music, Pavarotti was a unique phenomenon. From humble roots as a baker's son to sold out arena tours; Pavarotti possessed a voice of pure gold and innate beauty, precision and expressiveness.
This release includes his most popular, signature arias & songs alongside iconic live moments from some of the biggest concerts ever to take place.
