at August 18th benefit concert in Italy, Jeff Beck played "Nessun Dorma"

[b] Guitar legend Jeff Beck was one of the many performers at a benefit concert for a train station disaster in Villareggio, Italy on Wednesday, August 19th. Italian rock star Zucchero, Sting, Andre Bocelli and others also performed.

Jeff did an emotive rendering of Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" which was made famous by Luciano Pavaroti. The dramatic opera was also performed by Aretha Franklin in 1998 at the Grammys as she filled in for a then ailing Pavaroti.

He mentioned recently that he was working on some classical pieces.
