fantastic concert
This is, in my opinion, the best concert video of the 3 tenors. I saw it when it was first aired and loved it. I've waited and waited for this to be released in blue ray, but have never seen it available. I finally decided to get this DVD version (actually was a used copy) and glad I did. It played very nicely. You can tell it was not in high definition, but barely. My Oppo player does such a great job of upgrading DVDs, it was hardly noticeable. Very happy!

THE best of The Three Tenor series
I love this DVD!Performed in Los Angeles in 1994 and of course features Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. Zubin Metha conducts the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The camera angles are well placed, the switching is done appropriately and the editing has resulted in a beautiful production.What I liked about the overall performance was the obvious magical chemistry that seemed to bind the performers, orchestra and audience from the very beginning. Early on, the singers must have gotten the unmistakable feeling of having the audience in the palm of their hands.On an individual basis the whole night featured one great performance after the other: each tenor got to show off his unique voice and talent. One got the distinct feeling that a competitive atmosphere started to develop as the tenors seemed to try to outdo one another with each successive piece of music. The result was nothing short of a spectacular evening of entertainment. Who won "the battle of the Tenors" is a purely subjective matter: but I have my own winner (which I'll keep to myself)It appeared that the best time was had by the conductor Zubin Mehta: how could you not be enjoying yourself conducting a world renown orchestra and three of the worlds greatest opera singers before an enthusiastic and receptive audience. What more would it take to make one happy? Precious little I think!All and all, a must have DVD for any opera fan. This concert will be remembered for a long time to come and deservedly so.

The Best of the Three Tenors Concerts
The 20th Century was blessed, not only because it produced some of the greatest tenor voices, but what is more important, the recording technology that preserves them. In truth, previous centuries might have had equally fine tenors - or sopranos, basses, etc. - but we are limited to what we can now hear and judge by ourselves. Pavarotti, Domingo, and Carreras rise to the top in most lists of fine tenors, and this concert, held in Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, is a prime example for why they enjoy such devotion and admiration. Even though their other recorded concerts are perhaps equally fine, I give this one an edge; for my taste, they sang a varied selection of numbers: arias, show tunes, popular songs - and did so with flair, showmanship, and sheer joy. Even though some have noted that Jose Carreras was in decline, the truth is that you would not know it from this concert. As Conductor, Zubin Mehta inspired the Los Angeles Symphony to play as well as any orchestra in the world could have played for this world-wide telecast. Of interest to me was how the producer decided on the scenery and set designs for this event - that came out in the added DVD features which detail the planning for this concert. In brief, as a fan of these tenors, I possess every one of their recorded concerts, but if you can only own one, make it this one.

Heavenly
The 1994 concert by these three fantastic Tenors is the most enjoyable, relaxing and amazing group of different types of music in the world. They have shown in this concert that music is enjoyable to everyone whether they hate opera, Hollywood or world wide collections of music. All of it is for everyone. Their first in 1990 was great. This one four years later shows that the most wonderful singers can sing anything and make the whole world love it.

Fabulous . The People sof the World sould have listened.
The CD is slightly better than the VHS, but nothing compares to the live in person experience, which I fortunately , and many others, had the chance to do at the time before they died,, then Thomas Jeffrey Grimes from Syracuse destroyed my life.

Perfection Personified
Take a beautiful starry night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Add in top production values including excellent sound, colorful graphics and dazzling cinematography, along with a star-studded audience filled with beaming luminaries from entertainment and politics. And then last, but certainly not least, welcome to the stage the inestimable talents of Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti and Mehta, joining forces to bring to life the greatest works from the worlds of opera and Hollywood, and what do you have? A jewel called The 3 Tenors in Concert 1994. This DVD, brilliantly capturing a monumental occasion in world concerts, is an absolute must for the home library of any avid connoisseur of grand opera and sparkling pop standards. You’ll want to watch it over and over again, it’s that good. It’s perfection personified, pure and simple.

A Review--A Bit Belated
Though a bit belated--14 years--the music contained in this concert lives forever. For over 50 years I was involved in the very high end audio business, therefore I believe my review is presented with some merit. The Los Angeles Philharmonic could not have been any better , as is the chorus. The Tenors had the "bubbling over" audience at their mercy; even after the final encore, the applause, shouting, etc. would not stop. As usual, Pavarotti was the showman and his Nessun Dorma brought down the house. However, were I to choose a tenor for an opera, my choice, by a close margin, would have to be Carretras, though any of the three would do more than a little justice to any opera. The recording quality was/is supberb---tell the wife to leave the house and crank up the volume to really enjoy. Events such as this concert come along only once in a lifetime. Buy a copy and send to your friends

Delightful, as always
This is the third Three Tenors I've purchased, and they're all charming in slightly different ways. This presentation was held in a vast outdoor arena in California before an enormous and very enthusiastic audience. The friendship between the three singers is obvious and makes for a delightful atmosphere

Very pleased
Really surprised to find this on VHS video tape but a great present for my mum who can operate a video recorder but is not able to use a dvd player. Was last one in stock and still sealed which is very unusual nowadays, so perfect. Has a lot of lovely opera pieces on it - beautifully sung so we are both very pleased indeed.
