“It was always a pure joy to make music with Luciano Pavarotti as he was not only perfectly prepared – which inspired everybody involved – but our close contact no matter if on stage or during a recording was simply ideal. His humility always helped in every project to solve any problem that might have occurred.” Zubin Mehta
“Pavarotti’s story is also the Decca story as – and unusually – artist and record company worked hand-in-hand for 45 years until the singer’s death in 2007” James Jolly (from the accompanying book)
