Mirella Freni is every bit as good as Pavarotti here, and it's a good thing too - this lovey duet (another from La Bohéme) requires two singers at the top of their acting game to make this a truly satisfying experience, with Karajan (pictured) at the helm.

This duet from Verdi's La Traviata is one of the most famous drinking songs in the repertoire - so let Joan and Luciano pour you a glass of something stiff, and just enjoy the ride in the company of these two complete legends.Paolo Tosti's hugely popular song is given the Pavarotti treatment. Though he was very much an exponent of the traditional Neapolitan song, Tosti actually became a British citizen in 1906. Luciano Pavarotti has four children: three daughters, Giuliana, Lorenza and Cristina Pavarotti, from his first marriage, and one daughter, Alice Pavarotti, from his second marriage. He said, 'One day you will need me and I will be there for you.' I thought, 'Wow', because my father loved opera. I thought I would get them together. That would be really fun. The famed tenor also teamed up with “King of Soft Soul” Barry White to perform an exclusive rendition of ‘You’re the First, the Last, My Everything’, as well as ‘Too Much Love Will Kill You’ with Queen’s very own Roger Taylor and Brian May, who said: “His heavenly voice will be with us for a very long time.” Lee, Felicia R.

Here the great tenor shows us just how nimble he is as a light singer, with this song wishing everyone a lovely day. Aww.In the mid-1980s, Pavarotti returned to two opera houses that had provided him with important breakthroughs, the Vienna State Opera and La Scala. Vienna saw Pavarotti as Rodolfo in La bohème with Carlos Kleiber conducting and again Mirella Freni was Mimi; as Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore; as Radames in Aida conducted by Lorin Maazel; as Rodolfo in Luisa Miller; and as Gustavo in Un ballo in maschera conducted by Claudio Abbado. In 1996, Pavarotti appeared for the last time at the Staatsoper in Andrea Chénier. Throughout the 1980s and 90s, promoters Tibor Rudas and Harvey Goldsmith booked Pavarotti into increasingly larger venues. Translating as 'Don't Forget About Me', this is another heartbreaker with Henry Mancini (pictured) marshalling things from the front. Pavarotti's intensity is quite something here, as he implores his love not to let him go because "My life is tied to you, I love you more and more…"
