I was lucky enough to see Pavarotti perform in person. Also saw Domingo and Cararras. At that level of talent, it is hard to say who is the best, etc. However, Pavarotti’s body of work, in terms of vocal quality, is beyond all others that I have heard. He makes Caruso look like a beginner.

Nonetheless, Domingo to me is the greatest of our lifetime because of the fuller dimension of his performances and level of effort.

The person behind the Three Tenors idea is a genius! Watching them perform was always thrilling. Nessum Dorma - well, that might be the most perfect piece of music ever written, IMO. It must have been beyond amazing to see Pavarotti in person.
