The star-studded official Pavarotti Memorial Concert, filmed live at the stunning ancient city of Petra, Jordan.
Decca releases this very special all-star pop and classical concert to mark the first anniversary of Pavarotti's death. Performed against the stunning backdrop of the ancient city of Petra in the Jordanian desert, this is THE official memorial concert, organised and supported by Pavarotti's widow.
Fabulous guest line-up includes Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Placido Domingo, Angela Gheorghiu, Zucchero, José Carreras and Jovanotti, with the Prague Philharmonia conducted by Eugene Kohn.
Televised across the world and filmed in HD widescreen this makes a wonderful addition to the Pavarotti legacy.
Pavarotti had a special relationship with the Queen of Jordan and always wanted to perform there. Unfortunately he never got to do this during his lifetime, so holding the Memorial Concert at Petra seemed only fitting.
Filmed in High Definition Widescreen
