I believe this beautiful aria by Mario Lanza was voted the best operatic recording for the year (1949)-if I am not mistaken. A real masterpiece by an outstanding singer. We lost him far too soon. Always remembered--never forgotten. May he rest in peace.
there is no doubt in my eyes had Mario stepped out of the silver screen onto the opera stage he would have been the greatest romantic opera singer of all time just my opinion
I have heard some tenors in my eighty three years on this planet..but Mario is & was the greatest of them all.
You will live for ever Mario in our hearts"
Mario Lanza's voice exhibits a BRILLIANCE, especially in its high notes, which makes it uniquely Mario Lanza's - it cannot be mistaken for anybody else's.
The greatest tenor and God given voice to Mario Lanza! Beautiful passion, diction, phrasing and so naturally effortless! There will never be another Voice like Mario Lanza. Your voice and legacy lives forever!!
For me, still the most amazing voice I've ever heard..and, like many, Lanza was my entry into operatic music. So much emotion...so much strength in that voice.
