Pavarotti - My World

By Luciano Pavarotti

Book Overview

Every generation or so an opera singer attains the kind of public adulation and affection usually reserved for film stars or pop singers. Luciano Pavarotti reached this level of fame: he was the most celebrated tenor of all time, his concerts attended by thousands, his records selling millions of copies.

In Pavarotti: My World, he talks candidly about his successes and trials, from his forays into popular music and his performances in China, to the boos he endured at La Scala, from the near-fatal illness of his youngest daughter, to his worldwide efforts to convert people to the joys of classical music and opera.

Pavarotti's acclaimed autobiography shows us how this great artist felt about his extraordinary voice, how he saw his work and how he regarded his extraordinary position in the world of music and entertainment. Generously illustrated with photographs taken from Pavarotti's private collection, this is an intimate, absorbing and wonderfully honest account of an astonishing talent.

What A Life !

This 335 page book was awesome. Not only a book about the man but a book that takes you around the world with him . Pavarotti's story as told to author William Wright is wonderfully descriptive. I felt as if I was there traveling with Pavarotti. The story telling is done so well you become a guest in the story. I do not recall ever enjoying this type of book as much as I did this book.It is full of life, humor, love and family. Pavarotti is honest. I really felt the spirit in which he enjoyed his life and the passion he had for his voice. I feel so blessed to have seen him at his farewell performance tour at the Hollywood Bowl. This talent will remain forever in my heart. Read this book and become a part of the joy of Pavarotti and a big Thank you Mr. Wright for writing Pavarotti's MY WORLD !
