Ave Maria & Miss Sarajevo

Opera was never big in our house growing up. In fact, my musical education was mostly made up of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, CSN&Y and other rock groups of the 60s and 70s. However, I became a huge fan of U2 right before I turned 15 (thanks Steve, wherever you are). It was about a year after Achtung Baby! came out and I fell in love with this amazing band. When the Passengers album came out, I was amazed at the beauty of Pavarotti's solo in "Miss Sarajevo." Each of these performances is from one of the many "Pavarotti and Friends" specials from Modena, Italy.
