Great album, worthy cause.

"A wonderful concert for a wonderful cause. The previous reviewer only gave it 4 stars because he said there were too many different styles of music. Well, that's the whole point. It is the music community, regardless of genre, getting together to raise funds to build a Music Centre in Bosnia-Hercegovina, which will provide music therapy, tuition and a space where music will be used to enable young people to learn, to grow and to be healed. Music is for everyone, and all these different artists getting together for the common good, regardless of genre, is wonderful. And on this album are a number of suprises. Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries singing with Pavorotti on "Ave Maria", Meat Loaf and Pavarotti duetting on "Come back to Sorrento", to name just two. A must have for music fans in general."
Master Class, but still too stuffy

"A brilliant idea of Maestro Pavarotti, these concerts, and especially this one. I enjoyed the Ave Maria, where Dolores (one of my favourite pop-stars) clearly shows that she had some profit from canto classes she took in youth. But the "Linger" version was not alike, listening more to Simon Le Bon than the original voice...Strange, but interesting and cool combination between rap and opera ("Serenata Rap/Mattinata"). Well, such things could never be seen before, eh?A good bunch of masters packed in to make a great record for a good deal. But.. aren't there too many styles? Yhat's the missing star..."
Love This!

"I finally got the Cd after wearing out two tapes. There are so many different artist on this, it's amazing. It is almost worth it just to hear Michael Bolton do opera! I don't like the man but he was good. Get this, it is worth a listen."
