Pavarotti

My World

By: Luciano Pavarotti, William Wright

Narrated by: David Dukes

In the world of opera, no figure in modern times loomed larger than the late Luciano Pavarotti, especially in his triumphant collaborations with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras as the Three Tenors. Pavarotti captured the imagination of audiences around the world. In this memoir, the Grammy-award winning legend shares both the fortunate and the regrettable events that marked his life, including his forays into popular music, his performances in China, and the boos he endured at La Scala. This behind-the-scenes look reveals the highs and lows of an international superstar whose impact was felt beyond the opera houses.

Incomplete

I don’t know all of the details, but I used this audio book with the first edition of this book and there are entire chapters missing as well as sentences. It’s about 1/2 the material in the book.

I got. Know how to check, but it would be worthwhile to make sure your edition matches the audible version if you are doing. A read along.

Otherwise, the material is fine. Kind of a typical autobiography that spend a lot of time explaining and justifying. Lots of interesting stuff. Lots of boring stuff. And not much detail or introspection. But worth reading for any fan of Pavarotti.
