About this title

From the Inside Flap

rotti, the world-famous tenor, tells his story. "I want to tell the people who are interested in me," says Pavarotti in his preface, "about all of the fun and excitement I have had. I have tried to explain how I feel about the things that are important to me and to pass on whatever wisdom I have gained as an artist and as a human being." Black-and-white photographs.

From AudioFile

Pavarotti gives us insight into the hectic and rewarding life behind the operatic stage. With unswerving honesty, he addresses the high and low points of his stunning career. Dukes's first-person narration and soft Italian accent bring the listener close to the magnificent performer and grant an audience into the great man's youth and private life. His narration is so believable that one expects him to burst into song at any moment. When the anticipated aria arrives, it's of disappointingly poor technical quality, belying the talent of the virtuoso tenor. B.L.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
