The Three Tenors road show has gotten embarrassing, especially as heard in a San Jose sports arena through a sound system that must have cost all of $9.98. “Comparing these singers with their decade-old selves is not flattering. The luster has dimmed considerably even from the internationally televised Paris World Cup concert two years ago.” – San Francisco Examiner

And to hear the unique blend of these three voices in their over-the- top encore of “Torna a Surriento” as the crowd roared is to feel the immensely sensual power of music. It is a lucky universe that boasts these stars.” – San Francisco Chronicle 12/31/99
