DVD The Three Tenors– The Complete Concert, Paris 1998 Including exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes footage
Their first concert in Rome proved to be the biggest bestseller in the history of classical records. Their second concert in Los Angeles went down in television history with the highest audience figures for a musical event and also produced a remarkably successful album. But the “3” will indeed prove to be a magic number when the world-celebrated trio performs its third World Cup Festival concert.
Producer Tibor Rudas presented this concert as a gift to the city of Paris. Hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic spectators – not only the citizens of the city, but also guests from all over the world – enjoyed the pleasures for the eyes and ears on this spectacular Parisian evening in the magnificent green of the Champ de Mars. It was a fantastic sight: Carreras, Domingo, Pavarotti, conductor Levine and the Orchestre de Paris on a specially constructed stage covered with flowers, under an elegant French Art Nouveau arch and against the backdrop of the festively lit Eiffel Tower. Paris, the city of lights, showed its most charming side on this memorable musical evening.
Paris is also the city of lovers, and no doubt the artists were also inspired by this thought, because their program was full of passion, and in the interpretation of the pieces and medleys they surpassed themselves. It was not by chance that one said, “By far the best so far.” This live recording captures the fascinating atmosphere of the ultimate World Cup celebration of the three tenors – in front of a live audience that was a hundred times larger than in Rome, and almost two billion TV viewers around the world.
