This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. It's improbable that anyone even mildly interested in music would be unfamiliar with the phenomenon that is the Three Tenors--the veteran singers Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and José Carreras assembled a crowd-pleasing program combining classical arias and popular songs to celebrate the 1990 World Cup in Rome and subsequently parlayed the spectacular success of the event into a series of enormously popular CDs and concert appearances. The Tenors, here in conjunction with Steven Mercurio and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, apply their tried-and-true formula to a holiday format--the selections offered are from a Christmas concert in Vienna in December of 1999 and again feature a variety of classical favorites and popular and traditional songs and carols along with a few surprises such as "Feliz Navidad," "Amazing Grace," and "Happy Christmas/War is Over" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The trio brings its usual energy and enthusiasm to bear on the proceedings, creating an atmosphere of high spirits and conviviality. minimize
