This 4 CD set is a portrait of probably the greatest tenor of this or any other age: Plcido Domingo. Born in Spain in 1941, Domingo spent his early life in Mexico where his parents, both singers, ran a company that presented zarzuelas (Spanish light operas) and other musical shows. His career as a tenor has spanned the entire world in a wide range of operas in which he has sung over 120 roles, and in 1990 he made history when, with Jos Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti, he first appeared in Rome as one of the The Three Tenors, whose subsequent concerts and recordings broke all records for television viewing and record sales. He has subsequently shown great talent as a conductor and has very recently begun to sing baritone roles to wide acclaim, beginning with Verdis Simon Boccanegra. Today, he is the General Director of both the Washington National Opera and of the Los Angeles Opera and also runs the highly successful Operalia competition to help young artists further their careers. The four CDs are held in trays inside the front and back rigid covers of a long digibook, and the 72 pages include an extensive collection of session photos and portraits relating to the recordings and Domingos EMI career as well as an informative note in English, French, German and Spanish
