Sweep Over My Soul - Luciano

Advantages: Great operatic album
Disadvantages: none

...This is in my opinion one of Luciano Pavarotti's greatest albums ever! The great tenor at his best singing classics such as O Sole Mio, Nessun Dorma, La Danza, Vesti la guibba, Rigoletto la Donna é mobile and many more. This album is truely astonishing from argueably the greatest tenor that ever lived. The passion in the songs that Pavarotti sings in this album are amazing, it will sweep you off your feet and throw you into complete perfection. Unfortunately as you may have heard Luciano Pavarotti died on September 6th 2007 which makes this album a tribute to the great tenor and his life long work as an operatic legend. Luciano Pavarotti was one of the most renowned people wordwide and this album presents some of his best work and you should buy this amazing album in honour of the greatest operatic legend that ever lived!...
