Mario Lanza - E lucevan le stelle free for downloading

I spend years and years to listen to many top tenors voices, finally,  Mario Lanza  is still  number 1 in my heart!

MARIO: A beautiful gift of God. His voice is superb.

This Guy hands down BEATS them all, including the big 'C'!!

Mario was so blessed with the vocal chords, (and other anatomical stuff), needed to produce this amazing voice but also the passion and empathy for the character part he sang, there's so much emotion in his singing, just beautiful, always wells me up.

Pause a moment to remember the memory of the composer of this stunning aria: Giaccomo Puccini (1857-1924)

For those that gave this recording a thumbs-down, I would recommend an immediate hearing test along with a major intervention as to their musical sensibilities! To find fault with this performance is to insult the intelligence of the rest of the listening world. The power, beauty, range, vibrancy and sheer magic in Lanza's delivery is most certainly a pure and incontrovertible lesson in what it is to be a great singer and interpreter. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but in this case it arrives through the auditory nerves of which the thumbs-downers seem to sadly under-endowed! It is just too easy to click on a rejection button but not so easy to inform the rest of us as to why this has been done. But perhaps the predictable mealy-mouthed offerings would be best kept silent as opinions can only be valued when the source itself is qualified. Lanza can sing me into heaven any time and I suspect for those that are already there is presence is most magnificently felt!
