There is a huge tradition of bringing great music and football together at big events. This reached its apogee with Decca’s “The Three Tenors” at the 1990 World Cup, from which the resulting album famously sold over 10 million albums.

Brazil’s World Cup will once again present the ambitious and creative with opportunities to present music to a fresh and wide audience and this carefully-crafted compilation is packed with Latin-American appeal and style.

Includes the famous performance of ‘Mambo!’ (from Bernstein’s Westside Story) by Dudamel and his brilliant Venezuelan youngsters – a performance that brought Latin music-making to a world stage like never before!

From Nossa! Nossa! to Mas que nada, from America to Nessun dorma… this generous 77-minute tracklisting contains some of the most popular rhythms and melodies in music and will work perfectly within a context of Brazilian warmth and celebration.

Stars of today - like Milos & Martynas – feature alongside those of the past – Pavarotti and Bernstein – to make something really special.
