Novanta

Together, Pavarotti and Decca created a legacy of one of the longest exclusive relationships between artist and record label and in celebration of that legacy and what would have been his 90th birthday (12th October 2025), Decca presents NOVANTA — the ultimate greatest hits package of the World’s favourite tenor. This release includes his most popular, signature arias and songs, iconic live moments from some of the biggest concerts ever to take place, alongside rarities, new discoveries, and previously unreleased tracks.
Probably the most famous artist in the history of classical music, Pavarotti was a unique phenomenon. Following his death in 2007, his legacy is defined by his capacity to open the world of opera to a wider audience. Listen anew to the performances that thrilled the world.
