The voice, it must be said, is under great strain, but hard-core Pavarotti fans might want this anyway. There are lots of recording gimmicks--echoes, reverberation, overdubbing--and, at times, Pavarotti tries a jazzy style at which he's not very good. There's a big high C at the close of one song which is uncomfortable but shows a certain bravery, and the final song is sung in a sort of Sting-like high register which sounds totally alien. Those who never heard Pavarotti before 1990 will have no idea what all the fuss was about if they judge him by this CD; those who have loved and/or admired him all these years may be saddened and puzzled. An oddity, to be sure. --Robert Levine

 The voice that will never die October 11, 2008
dee1153 (Shreveport, LA USA)
I am Luciano Pavarotti's biggest fan, so I am biased. But for a man of his age, this recording is simply amazing. The golden voice is still there - Il Gladiatore is one of the shining moments of his career. I'd put it next to anything else he's ever recorded. Absolutley stunning. And Buongiorno is a delightful, uplifting little tune - can't get it out of my head! Yes, it's an older Pavarotti here, the voice is darker - but like other reviewers said, at this age, he could still out sing most tenors alive today. Very poignant, very beautiful. Buy it!
The great "Maestro" October 9, 2007
Luis Torregrosa
While not his best recording, this album is enjoyable not boring....Pavarotti makes a fine rendition of the main theme of "Gladiator" the rendition of "Caruso" superb............Long live the "Maestro" and his god given voice!!!

I love "Ti Adoro" and I love my Luciano! I don't know what all the nitpicking is about. Pavarotti is one of the best and way above what other tenors can ever dream to be in their lifetime. My very favorites are "Il Canto", "Ti Adoro", "Buongiorno a Te" and "Caruso." My beloved
Pavarotti will always be #1 with me. Gob bless you, Maestro. Ti Adoro!
Awesome! July 25, 2006

Luciano Pavarotti may be 70 odd, but that's no excuse for this extremely talented singer to stop one little bit. His voice is unique and warm, the songs are mostly cheery and upbeat.
1. IL CANTO (the chant)- a supreme uplifting ballad. Pavarotti is at his best throughout the song. 10/10.
2. NEAPOLIS (Naples)- not my favourite, but still well sung. 7/10
3. STARAI CON ME (You'll be with me)- another beautiful song with a lovely chorus. 9/10
4. TI ADORO (I adore you)- a somewhat strange background beat, but still the nearest thing to happy I've heard in a while. 8/10
5. NOTTE (Night)- a moving, heartfelt song. Pavarotti struggles a little bit to reach the eternal high note, but still is able to pass the test comfortably. 9/10.
6. COME AQUILE (Like Eagles)- a fantastic song, which allows Pavarotti to show off his soothing voice. 10/10.
7. DOMANI VERRA (Tomorrow will come)- well sung, nothing much more than that. 7.5/10
8. BUONGIORNO A TE (Good morning to you)- uplifting, cheerful tune with some inventive parts. 8.5/10
9. AI GIOCHI ADDIO (Farewell to your games)- a sad song with a lot of emotion from Luciano. 9/10
10. STELLA (Star)- another cheery song, slightly painful in parts. 8/10
11. TU E IL TUO MARE (It's you and your ocean)- an exquisite song which Pavarotti glides through imperially. 10/10.
12. IL GLADIATORE (The gladiator)- widely regarded to be one of the best songs on the album. Quite right. 10/10.
13. CARUSO- a very good song to finish with. Powerful and dramatic and from the depths of the heart. 9.5/10
GOOD:
Pavarotti is the only pensioner in the world to sing so well. No, probably the best person.
The songs feel like there being sung for a reason, unlike many modern singers who sing with no feeling whatsoever and hope when they release their song they might earn a bit of money.
This CD makes a good gift for everyone, because he is so famous and well-liked.
Good guidebook; lyrics in Italian and English plus a welcome note in 4 different languages.
BAD:
Pavarotti may make you cringe very occasionaly with his waring voice.
Do not understand all of the complaining! February 20, 2006
