Seventy-five minutes of remastered musical glory – a programme overflowing with operatic arias from Cavalleria Rusticana, Il trovatore, Macbeth, Manon Lescaut and La traviata, and popular Neapolitan song.
Also features two tracks, recorded in 1955, thought to be the earliest recordings with Luciano Pavarotti – "Bonjour mon coeur" (Lassus) and "In Nomine" (J Handl) – plus a special audio interview with Pavarotti recalling his choir's competition win.
Recorded with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Leone Magiera; the Corale Rossini, and soprano Atzuko Kawahara

Plus – a unique A4 concert poster in each box.
All texts in English, German and Welsh.
Comparable in significance to Pavarotti in Hyde Park and Pavarotti in Central Park.
In a concert rarely seen or heard since the mid-1990s, experience Pavarotti at the very height of his vocal powers in gloriously remastered sound.
