During an illustrious career that spanned four decades, Luciano Pavarotti (1935 - 2007), who would later be dubbed “maestro of the masses,” became synonymous with the art of singing and an icon of popular culture. He had sung in all the world’s most prestigious opera houses and entertained thousands in stadium concerts around the globe. With his uniquely thrilling voice and exceptionally endearing personality, he touched an audience of millions world-wide through his televised performances, especially as part of the Three Tenors or the Pavarotti and Friends concerts. According to The Times newspaper, “the magnificence of Pavarotti’s singing has secured an exhalted position for him among the finest tenors of the 20th century. No one did more in our time to bring a new public to opera.” Join Adriaan Fuchs for a special tribute to this one-of-a-kind singer. www.onandofftherecord.com
