Carreras Domingo Pavarotti in Concert (re-released as The Three Tenors in Concert) is a

1990 FIFA World Cup Final. It was produced by Gian Carlo Bertelli and Herbert Chappell
.

Track listing

The concert is particularly known for the two recordings of "Nessun dorma". The first is sung by Pavarotti alone. The second, the concert encore, includes all three tenors singing individually and then, for the final 'Vincerò!' singing together - conductor Zubin Mehta appeared completely delighted with the effect this had.[1]

Reception

The recording, released on the

33rd Grammy Awards.[2] It is the best-selling classical album of all time[3]
and led to a shift in the way the music industry marketed classical recordings.

Impact

This first

Three Tenors performance and recording led to thirty-three additional concerts
with Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti, as well as three more live audio and video albums. All were best-sellers.

The unexpected success of the album among general audiences led to a restructuring of the classical music industry into separate "core classical" and "strategic classical" areas. With the latter category, the industry now geared its focus toward reaching new audiences via intense performer-centric marketing strategies.[4]
