Third version of a mutual concert of the superstar trio.
Director: Mathias Ledoux
Stars: José Carreras, Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, James Levine.
Another good concert, with production flaws: the cameras were not poised to catch the facial exchanges of the trio when they performed together, and one went rogue, as happened in both prior concerts. LP hit an extra high note, surprising the others, but we saw only the backs of their heads. JC appears to have given LP something from his pocket, but we don't see what it is. This camaraderie is half the fun of their concerts, and this crew missed it.
Also, the mics caught their voices well, but not the applause. This was a vast open space, and we get visual audience reactions, but the applause sounds tepid; I doubt it was.
Except for a Xmas disc (which I'll skip), this is the last of the released concerts; more are on YouTube.
Rated 7.9 (64)
