16. Puccini - Nessun Dorma
In his role as 'the new Pavarotti', Joseph Calleja was going to have to tackle Nessun Dorma at some point. But to do that on an album paying tribute to another legendary tenor, Mario Lanza, the opportunities for comparison are positively daunting. How does he fare? Well, you only need to listen to that soaring climax to know you're in safe hands. Photo: Marty Sohl / Metropolitan Opera.
