What TopGear song is this in the background?

[watdahel]

I was watching the episode 12/4/05 of TopGear where the trio drive 3 Italian junkers. What music is this playing in the background?

 

[watdahel]

I don't know.

Turandot

 

[chuckywang]

specifically Nessun Dorma

 

[KRandor]

the aria Nessun Dorma, from Puccini's opera Turandot...

doh - too slow

 

[GTaudiophile]

It seems like an instrumental version?

I actually remember this one from TG and have been wondering which exact version it is.

 

[chuckywang]

sounds like the version by Pavarotti. I think it's the most famous version.

Thank you very much, Sir.
