Three Legendary Tenors (Written and presented by Nigel Douglas) (1999)

De innemende Nigel Douglas belicht in prachtig Engels drie giganten. "There is some extraordinary singing on this DVD, made more attractive by digital reprocessing of pre-hi fi recordings, but that is not the primary attraction. The music is used mostly to illustrate points in the biographical details and critical observations of the documentary's narrator, English tenor and author Nigel Douglas. Besides photos and film clips of "our original three tenors" (silent films for Caruso), the visual attractions include striking views of landscapes and architecture related to the tenors' lives. Douglas's remarks are accurate, precisely observed, and carefully calculated to provide the information most fans will want. Discussing Caruso, he mentions the "chiaroscuro" (control of light and dark shading) in his voice, his talent as a cartoonist and fondness for practical jokes, and a music teacher's verdict that Caruso's voice "is too small and sounds like the wind whistling through the windows.""
