Resplendent in voice and manner, José Carreras, Placido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti deliver 21 songs of traditional sacred music and secular numbers in a remarkable 1999 live recording from the opulent Viennese concert hall (Konzerthaus), with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and a renowned choir. The Three Tenors are practically as famous as the faces of Mount Rushmore and inspire perhaps even more awe and adulation around the world than the four presidents. The performances--whether alone, in tandem, or simply as the threesome that has made them collectively famous--are generally impeccable for their passion, nuance, and sheer tour de force vocal artistry. Reaching often into the classical realm for such works as the traditional German carol "Susani," Strauss's and Brahms's "Wiegenlied," plus traditional Polish and Spanish pieces, the trio also visits Pavarotti's "Ave Maria, dolce Maria" (cowritten with Vittoriano Benvenuti), and "Un nuevo siglo," written by Domingo's son. Only John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Happy Christmas/War Is Over" doesn't quite work in this grand setting. --Martin Keller
Customer Reviews:
First Christmas Album I bought for myself.......2007-01-16
Album is great. For any other holiday music, just listen to your local radio station that plays it during December.
wonderful.......2007-01-15
they are wonderful singers a delight to the ears and doing Christmas music made Christ mas even better
Wonderfully Different & Addicting! And All Your Friends Will Be Calling HOO-HOO!.......2005-08-23
First, let me state I don't listen to opera singers that much; thus, don't expect a hypercritical review here. (Really, is there ANY field of music that has more hypercritics than opera?) I got this CD simply because Columbia House had it on sale for $2.99, and I wanted some new Christmas CDs.
I found the CD delightful beyond words. It has some beautiful versions of well-known Christmas songs, as well as songs I've never heard before. "Carol of the Drum" and "War Is Over" are my two favorites, with "Sleigh Ride" a close third.
Sure, there is some tripping over of words by these three great opera stars...but that makes it even more enhancing in my opinion. Pavarotti was particularly amusing when he was singing: "And all our friends are calling 'HOO-HOO'!" (Watch the DVD for Carreras' reaction to that one!) And let's not forget Pavarotti singing: "I'll be home for Christmas. You can PLAY on me."
The children's chorus is great, the Vienna Symphony is great...and, once again, buy or rent the DVD so you can get the full affect of this astounding Christmas concert...the music, the lights, the colors, and the marvelous Steven Mercurio conducting it all.
Wonderful and funny compilation.......2005-03-09
The Three Tenors are, of course, wonderful to listen to. This is also a funny CD. When they sing the more modern songs (Happy Christmas by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, for example) they have trouble keeping up with the pace of the song. They almost sound like they're tripping over the syllables, because as opera singers they are more accustomed to long, drawn out vowels, not fast ones. This doesn't hurt the song at all, it makes it more interesting to listen to. It's a great CD. I would recommend this as an addition to any collection of Christmas music.
A historical meeting..........2004-11-28
Although several labels already had Christmas albums of the three tenors in their catalogue, the three maestros never actually trioed on these releases. When Plácido Domingo and the "Christmas in Vienna" team started preparing the eighth concert in the series (six predecessors were captured by Sony, and one, titled "Celebration of Christmas" issued by Erato-Warner), they made a monumental decision: Re-uniting three of the greatest voices of the current music business.
For one and a half hour, Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti performed the greatest Christmas songs and carols from around the world. Nearly 65 minutes of this monumental concert are captured on this disk. The opening version of "O Holy Night" (aka "Cantique De Noel", "Minuit, Chrétien") by Domingo and Pavarotti would be reason enough to get this one. But wait, there is far more on the way, than selections from the classical genre. The real enjoyment starts, when the three tenors do one of the most romantic arrangements of Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" ever heard and fade from a rousing "La Virgen Lava Pa`nales" into one of the finest treatments of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" ever heard. Also of great interest is the trio arrangement of "Let It Snow!", which is included on some of the import versions and on the DVD.
If you are a hopeless completist like me, you may be asking, what happened to the 25 minutes cut from the CD release. Well, first let me say, that none of the currently available releases has the order of the songs as they were performed in the concert. Although this is a live recording, handclaps and other characteristics of a live recording are hardly audible on the CD version. Two tracks, "Jingle Bells" and "Let It Snow", which had clearly audible handclaps at the beginning and at the end of the performance (and therefore couldn't be faded out) can be found on the mentioned import disk and on the DVD's PCM soundtrack. "Children of Christmas" (a Plácido Domingo Jr. composition originally introduced in "Christmas In Vienna IV" by Plácido Domingo and Michael Bolton) and "Ay" Para Navidad" can be found exclusively on the DVD. Currently unavailable on any official release is the "Overture" (which can be found on the DVD, but abridged with sound effects). So here's the actual running order: "Overture", 20, 2, 1, 11, 3, 4, "Children of Christmas", 16, 17, 6, 15, 8, "Let it snow", 5, "Ay! Para Navidad", 9, 19, 14, 18, 12, 13, "Jingle Bells", 7, 21, 10;
If you still doubt about the quality of this performance, let me say one for sure: As other volumes in the series will slowly disappear (as some of them have already in the US), this one is a matter of decades and when you buy this one, you will have joyful Christmas hours for many, many Christmases to come.

Great Listening.......2007-01-09
I am a Bilingual Mexican American and enjoy almost every song on this CD. My wife who speaks no spanish also enjoys most of the songs on this CD.
Alejandro at his best!.......2006-04-05
His rich tones and the music just takes you AWAY! So tasteful, absolutely the best in mariachi. Again, the lyrics are fun, upbeat - positive even in the most disapointing situations/relationships. Alejandro is simply a great blessing to the music industry. His talents can only be heaven sent! Bravo Alex!
A great and timeless mariachi singer..........2005-09-27
A very special gal introduced me to the music of Alejandro Fernandez. Ever since than I've enjoyed his dark yet warm vocals, especially the early mariachi albums. This is his best cd, it's romantic, happy, and warm. Great album!!!
THIS CD IS MY FAVOURITE LIST.......2005-08-16
ALEJANDRO'S TALENT IS INDESCRIBABLE...AND THOSE BLUE NOTES THAT ONLY HIM AND (SELENA QUINTANILLA) CAN DO....THEY CAN EMBRACE YOU WHITH THEIR SPELL....BEAUTIFUL MUSIC....I'M NOT MEXICAN BUT I LOVE MEXICAN MUSIC...RICH MUSIC! BEAUTIFUL MUSIC! THIS CD IS PHENOMENAL....BEAUTIFUL LYRICS...(AS ALWAYS) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
In his fathers footsteps.......2002-04-17
Great CD! "Que Bueno" and "El POtrillo" are great. His voice is packed with emotion, which he inherited from Vicente (One of the greatest ranchera singers ever). His range is excellent, the song selection is tops also. If you like baladas, corridos and old time ranchera but with modern production, then try this, cuz it's first class all the way.

A little disappointing.......2007-01-18
I bought the CD for a Christmas gift as my boyfriend loves his version of Feliz Navidad. We have played that song over and over again but the rest of the CD is just OK.
The best Christmas album ever........2006-12-25
From the first time I heard this album in 1979, it has been my favorite Christmas album. I was never able to find the record, as it was already out of print, but my neighbor graciously made a tape of it from his very carefully taken-care-of record. I long ago wore out that tape. About three years ago I began searching for the record online, and though I saw a few on ebay, they nearly always sold for over $75, so I never bought one.
I am so thrilled that this album is again in print, and I hope that many more people find it as wonderful as I do. The extra cuts are fabulous.
Thank you, Jose!
Prospero Anyo Y Felizidad .......2006-07-10
Okay,so I must have a later CD release of this album, as I have only the 12 original tracks and not the three bonus tracks apparent here (and I bought mine just last year right here on Amazon--dang--I would love to have those extras). Nonetheless, like nearly each review here has cited, I was thrilled to find this wonderful holiday album finally available (it is almost impossible to find on vinyl, being long out of print). Jose Feliciano covers traditional Christmas tunes like "Jingle Bells" and "White Christmas" with a subtlety that is both hip and refreshing, dusts off a few war horses like "Silent Night" and "The First Noel" to infuse them with a surprising poignancy, and discovers more obscure material like "The Cherry Tree Carol" and "Mary's Little Boy Child" to place them at the center of this intelligent and gentle offering. I did buy three copies, two as gifts, as this one ranks as one of the best Christmas albums ever produced, and I love sharing my loves with my loves. Do not hesitate; find a copy of this treasure.
One of the best Christmas albums ever.......2003-12-15
What a pleasure it was to disover this album finally back in print after all these years. Thirty years ago, Jose Feliciano made "Feliz Navidad" a modern-day Christmas classic and it is, of course, the title song on this CD. But wait, there's more. Jose's mellow voice and expert classical guitar playing make every song a treat to listen to. And nearly every song is, to say the least, non-traditional.
A good example is Jingle Bells. Played as an instrumental with latin tempo, it becomes a real toe-tapper. Then there are the less common carols such as the "Cherry Tree Carol." Well sung, well played.
This is very simply a great Christmas album, ranking right up there with the holiday albums of Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole. At $11, what a bargain!
A Christmas Classic Finally on CD.......2003-09-16
This is one of the best Christmas albums ever recorded. The amazing genius of Jose Feliciano shines thru in every song. This album is probably one of Jose's most special albums and for his fans as well. Longtime Feliciano fans (myself included) have long for this LP to be release on CD and after 32 years it finally became a reality. On this record Jose goes back to a style of simplicity which he's always been known for. All of the songs were recorded with very little instrumentation. In fact the only other instrument that appears on the album besides Jose's guitar is a little of percussion and very little drums too little to really notice. Jose's voice is smooth and clear as a bell and the emotion that he puts into everyone of these holiday standards is evident when you hear the album. I love the guitar instrumentals like "Jingle Bells" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" which has Jose really rocking with the acoustic guitar really excellent. "Las Posadas" is a beautiful song like "Santa Claus" that was not included in the original LP released in 1970. Felciano's mellow and easy going style is pure and honest and you can't help but to be deeply moved by this beautiful song sung in his native tongue. This is a beautiful album that is a timeless classic and will be enjoyed from generation to generation. Now that RCA has finally made it available on CD it should reach a wider audience and makes a perfect gift during the holidays or just listening to Jose's beautiful voice and crisp and mellow guitar drinking a glass of Eggnog by the fire.

Album Description
The Complete Caruso: Volumes 1 - 12
The Italian tenor Enrico Caruso holds a unique place in musical history, as the first operatic singer whose recordings sold in millions, and who created an international reputation on the strength of these. Caruso's robust tone and musical sincerity made him both an ideal stage and recording artist, whose voice the primitive acoustic recording technology of the early twentieth century was able to reproduce with startling fidelity. The Naxos Historical Caruso edition constitutes the complete cycle of all Caruso's recordings issued in chronological order. In addition, the transfers have been immaculately undertaken by top sound engineer Ward Marston, unrivalled for his knowledge of the specialized world of acoustic opera recordings, and his rare ability to retrieve all of the music lying in the grooves of the original recordings. Naxos Historical's incredible price (12 CD'S FOR THE PRICE OF 10) puts this unique legacy of great singing within the reach of all music-lovers. This! complete cycle of recordings represents a major document in the history of sound recording, and one which no collector and enthusiast of great singing will wish to be without. "There is no series of vocal records that have a greater documentary value, that meant more to the development of the phonograph record, or that are as consistently capable of providing pleasure to lovers of great singing. ...One of the most significant recording industry events of the decade." Fanfare

Get It While You Can.......2006-10-13
This may not be easy to get in the USA for very long.....don't miss it.
Essential edition for opera lovers.......2005-02-01
This set gives you the opportunity to follow the entire recording career of one of the greatest singers in Operatic History. Enrico Caruso was the first superstar of the 20th century -- and this without the benefit of mass media. His person and his records were his greatest publicity.
The set begins with Caruso's Italian made recordings. They show a great raw talent. The artistry is lacking with many sobs, over acting and mistaken cues. The 1902 and 1903 clearly show a tenor with a lot to learn. But learn it he did. His 1904 sessions show a mature artist on par with any heard since. His voice matures before your very ears and by 1910, you wonder if you will ever listen to any other tenor the same way again.
The engineering used for this set is wonderful. There is no attempt at all to use the soundstream process of computer sound enhancement as heard on the RCA issued sets. These are near perfect mint conditioned discs copied by engineer extraordinary Ward Marston. They sound like natural 78s, they way Caruso himself must have heard the playbacks at the (RCA) Victor studios.
Also included are outtakes and extra takes. There is a "Celeste Aida" from 1908, complete with a broken high note, previously released by RCA in a 1973 set commemorating the tenor's centenary birthday. But there are new treasures here as well, including extra takes of two of Caruso's greatest recordings, the Italian song "L'Alba separa dalla l'uce ombra" and an aria from Rubinestine's Nerone. Listening to them, one wonders what Caruso could have possible thought inadquate in those long lost altenative takes.
Finally, there is the simple joy of hearing so many things so well sung. Caruso was the pinnacle of the tenor art. He can be compared to no other single tenor since ... he has the brilliant ring of Bjorling, the passion of Gigli, the beauty of Gedda, the youthful enthusiasm of Lanza, the warm tonal quality of Tucker, the pure strength of Corelli, the charasma of Pavarotti and the artestry of Domingo.
Whether you are an opera fan, a voice fan or just a music lover. This set is worth every penny.
