Pavarotti & Friends - For The Children Of Liberia - 3752

Amazon.com Is music for a good cause a good cause for music? Not really, if you expect artistry. But this smorgasbord of popular international musical stars brings together extreme musical genres for an excellent purpose, and is enjoyable enough for almost anyone. Pavarotti's relaxed and buoyant leadership and still gorgeous tenor add beauty to the rock/pop selections. Trisha Yearwood, Celine Dion, and Stevie Wonder impressively hold their own against Opera Spice; but the other artists pale against the master's presence. The Spice Girls will never be confused with Anonymous 4; Zucchero's growling is scary; Florent Pagny exemplifies French rock; and Pino Daniele's breathy tenor is mellow and soothing. Best for those wanting to experience Pavarotti's vocal beauty in a more popular idiom. --Barbara Eisner Bayer Product Description Produced by Phil Ramone and directed by Spike Lee, Pavarotti & Friends, for the Children of Liberia (Great Performances Presentation airing on PBS throughout Dec.) features once in a lifetime performances by some of today's hottest AC, CHR and even country artists. Highlights of the album include unforgettable performances by Stevie Wonder, Trisha Yearwood, Celine Dion, Vanessa Williams, the Corrs, Natalie Cole, Spice Girls and others, including - of course - Pavarotti himself. Review Once you get past its inherently contrived nature ... there's a warmth of spirit pervading this project. -- Entertainment Weekly
