Decca has announced its intention to launch a year-long celebration of the career of Luciano Pavarotti.

In honor of the legendary tenor, the organization will release “The Lost Concert,” an album that features Pavarotti’s 1995 performance at Llangollen. The release is set for Nov. 21, 225 and the recording also features interviews with the tenor as well as 100-page collector’s book with essays, photographs, and archive material. The Blu-ray of the performance will be released via Mercury Studios.

The release of this specific concert coincides with Pavarotti’s widow Nicoletta Mantovani, also a film producer, giving out the Pavarotti Trophy for the first time at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales on July 12, 2025. To that end, also getting a release, on July 14, 2025, is the first-known recording of the tenor’s voice at just 19 years old in 1955. In this instance, he joined his father in the Modena-based Corale Rossini to compete in the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. The Corale Rossini won.

“It was the beginning of everything. Luciano often said that without Llangollen, there would have been no career,” Mantovani stated per an official press release about that moment.

Also getting a release is “Novanta,” a 74-track collection of Pavarotti’s musical life. This album will be released on Oct. 10, 2025.
