With Pavarotti passing away yesterday, we've lost one of the greats. I had a discussion with a mate who was actually the greatest of our times: Maria Callas or Luciano Pavaroti

Still a tought call...
Discuss.

ps. Miroslav: how's this for underdeveloped musical taste eh? (cfr. Roger Sanchez thread)
