I've watches all of his movies and recordings over many years. I still think no one has the passion he sings beautiful lovely man, I use to sing to all his recordings,I'm in my 80years, and I'm listening on Uribe it is Still as wonderful to listen to, tonight my heart is full just hearing him again,it is Uribe I am watching
Mario Lanza was the greatest singer ever I have listened to many opera singers since I was 6 years young I am now in my 70’s and still play his music and watched every movie he ever made.It is no wonder that so many tenors were inspired by him the likes of Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, and younger tenors like Jonus Kaufmann, Carlos Marin and now an even younger generation llvollo to name a few Piero from lvollo they have all been touched by this great tenor who brought so much love and joy into the lives of many.
there is always improvement. not necessarily better, just improvement, I loved Jussi Bjorling - better? different? Pavarotti - sublime. No one to match. Carreras? so beautifully sweet. Who can say? surely it is subjective to a degree.
His peers all pay him the ultimate honour. His voice is the voice of the ages. We were fortunate enough to have heard this master tenor, the greatest lyrical tenor ever. Passion, power, perfect diction. Bravo Mario the Magnificent!!
Mario Lanza was a Spinto not Lyric tenor.I notice he avoids attempting the dimuendo on the final b flat as written, diffucult to execute, along with other tenors he does not attempt it.Listen to Franco Corelli sing this aria, as close to perfection as you are likely to hear.
@@peterholwill1170 Yes he became fully spinto in his later years. But he is often called a lyrical-spinto tenor as his voice was lighter when he was younger. Listen to his Vesta la Gibbs from Caruso and compare to his much later recording of the same aira in 1958 the differences are obvious.
Mario Lanza greatest Lyric Tenor of all time, you cannot be serious ! Lanza was never a Lyric Tenor, listen to Gigli, Gedda, Diego Florez and Pavarotti, great Lyric Tenors. Lanza fans tend to go over the top when assessing his voice.I am a fan of Mario Lanza, he possessed a lovely tenor voice, sang with passion, and in my personal opinion no other tenor sang popular songs as well as he did. Listen to Be My Love, Because Your Mine, They Didn't Believe Me, in this genre he is one of, if not, the very best.
@@peterholwill1170 Well experts and people who sang with him characterize his voice as lirico-spinto. I’ll stick with their expertise, I think they’d know.
Just about every day before I go to work I listen to this heavenly rendition of this beautiful song. Nothing can be more uplifting, calming and peaceful.
I was always played Gigi and Caruso by my Italian mother but I always believed this man mario was superior…boy every time I said that my Italian mother slapped me…..
I was only 7 years of age when my parents bought a Mario Lanza LP and loved him from the start kept playing it non stop if i was captured at that age with his voice must have been special loved him.x
@Saint Louis the spinto have too much volume and resistence, the mayority of the spintos are lírico spinto the more rare is dramatic spinto, the dramatic tenor have a big voice, like a baritone but more ligth that a ligth baritone, is a powerful voice, you can hear Jonas Kauffman is actual dramatic tenor, and heldentenor its also the same that the dramatic but a little bit more big, somethimes its a liryc baritone or ligth that change to heldentenor, they are a huge tenors, strongs in basses and middle higth, they can swing higth c .
!!!QUE TEMPERAMENTO Y DULZURA A LA VEZ. ES UN PRIVILEGIO PODER , DISFRUTARLO A TRAVES DEL TIEMPO CON LA MISMA FRESCURA DE ENTONCES, A MARIO LANZA ... ETERNO
we may never hear another voice like this again. genomes virtually guarantee such. the tragedy is he passed so early from us. the pity is the recording tech was so primitive back then, for we have only a hint of the voice power and tone depth.
Few have come close to his voice, in his division, opera. To me, he was, is and will always be the best! Freddie Mercury would have been an excellent opera singer as well. The world will never see the talents of Mario and Freddie again. Truly, they were the best of all!
Freddie Mercury? Nonsense! Here's who could have made it as an opera singer had he chosen that musical training. Listen to the end - and just 6 weeks before he died. THE king. ua-cam.com/video/I4Ci2YpH6z4/v-deo.html
The great professionals who knew him and heard and the greatest artists of our time, (those who know), have never stopped paying tribute to him: " The voice of Mario Lanza is a real pleasure for the Opera . " Maestro Zubin Mehta "If Mario Lanza had abandoned the cinema to devote himself to opera, no tenor would ever have dared to compare himself to him. " Maestro Peter Hermann Adler "Mario Lanza was one of the three greatest emissaries of Italian opera and Italian music in the world: there was Caruso in the past, then Mario Lanza and Maria Callas. " Luciano Pavarotti "Mario Lanza was the most romantic lyrical tenor. His voice had a huge dramatic impact. She is for me the absolute reference. » Placido Domingo "Mario Lanza's beautiful voice has enriched the lives of millions of people around the world, including my own. He inspired my career and my life. I owe him so much. " José Carreras "The death of Mario Lanza was a tragedy for the opera world, even though he has not yet realized it." Matthew Boyden, BBC opera critic "If Mario Lanza did not make films, it would have been a waste for the next generations." The Three Tenors "If God has a voice, he probably passed it on to Mario Lanza. " Jeff Rense, biographer "If there had not been Hollywood, I'm sure Mario Lanza would have eclipsed Caruso. " Armando Cesari, Biographer "Mario Lanza made the success of the movie" The Grand Caruso ". Before Mario Lanza and after Mario Lanza, no tenor could have embodied with such vocal talent and such a playfulness, the life of my father. Mario Lanza was born at the same time as a dozen very great tenors. Her innate natural voice is perfectly placed, with a splendid timbre, an infallible musical instinct clearly absent from the majority of other great tenors. His perfect diction was only matched by Giuseppe DiStefano. His way of giving himself completely in his song, his phrasing always fair and sumptuous; qualities with which few singers are born and others will never reach. We must not forget that Mario Lanza also excelled in the double register of classical music and popular melody, a result well above the exceptional talent of my father.

UMA DAS INTERPRETAÇÕES MAIS EXPRESSIVAS DESTA BELÍSSIMA ÁRIA DA AIDA DE VERDI. AQUI, MARIO LANZA INTERPRETA O PAPEL DE CARUSO NO FILME "O GRANDE CARUSO" DE 1951. INESQUECÍVEL CANTOR EM UM FILME QUE NÃO SEGUIU COM FIDELIDADE A HISTÓRIA VERDADEIRA.
Grazie Vincent..... Leggendo tutti i commenti contro la voce di Mario Lanza IO PENSO che non si rendono conto che lui È MORTO GIOVANISSIMO ancora aveva (lo stava facendo) da continuare a studiare.... MA QUANTI ANNI AVEVA CORELLI (CHE CREDO IL PIÙ GRANDE) QUANDO HA CANTATO "LA CELESTE AIDA" consigliata di sentire da un commentatore più sotto..... Sicuramente molto più di 38 anni.... Come dicono i VERI Intenditori M. Lanza vivendo AVREBBE SBARAGLIATO TUTTI PROGREDENDO.... dato che alla sua giovane età ha STRABILIATO MONDO INTETO
I'm so sick of the fighting over the lyrico/spinto nonsense. Let's face the fact that depending upon his age and his feelings at the time he sings it, Mario was indeed BOTH!!! But who really cares? He sings this aria magnificently well and, in my humble opinion, this is his BEST rendition. Of all, this is the one I prefer to hear, over and over again. Thank you Vincent for posting this version with the recitativo. Hugs again, Kat
Ogni volta che ascolto la voce di Mario così bella e coinvolgente penso a quanto deve essere sprofondato dalla vergogna quell'inetto funzionario della MGM che osò fare degli appunti sul.modo di cantare di Mario nel film Il principe studente tanto da provocare la sua giustificata ira. Quel signore ci ha privato del piacere di vedere Mario ma non di sentirlo per fortuna anche se la delusione subita incise sul suo morale non poco.
Posthumous thank you, Mario, for respecting the final note as written by Verdi! I wish more tenors -- today and yesteryear -- had your sensitivity, showing that singing operatic arias is not an I-can-singer-than-you competition.
+Gabriela Contreras I thought that was my point, but now when I listen again, second thoughts. I'd say Lanza avoids the huge show-off fortissimo ending, but it's really more of a mezzopiano. Jonas Kaufmann does an amazing spinoff into a true pianissimo.
Mario Lanza tenia tecnica y fuerza suficiente para no tener que acoplar artificialmente longitud a la última nota. Esos detalles desmerecen a quien quizás fue la mejor voz lírica del siglo XX.
Happy Birthday to Giuseppe Verdi! Go HUG someone today IF they're been vaccinated or not 🚫 Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
I listened to the change on the last note and it was a different texture. It sounds like an old-fashion tape splice to me - to prolong the note, though in actual fact there was no reason for Lanza to park on this note for so long. A lot of unnecessary vocal gymnastics, but a true showman nevertheless!
@@sdi1111 Yep, it definitely sounds like it's spliced... why would he ever be okay with this? And why would he accept to make a Caruso movie and "die" after singing the last note as Caruso when obviously Caruso didn't die that way (according to the history). I thought Tenors respected Caruso? His Vesti La Giubba in his last film is incredible, but still, I'm confused about these weird choices... (I'm not Italian, BTW)
@@santoshpss I was never a fan of Mario Lanza, though he had wonderful charisma and a very commercial voice. I think the best of his singing was in The Student Prince (Serenade/I'll walk with God) Lanza's fame went to his head and he became incontrolable. Apparently it was the Mafia who made him famous, but when Lanza didn't repay his debt, they were the ones to have the last say.
@@sdi1111 Hmm... that's really unfortunate... he had a lot of potential (judging by his vocal technique and power), but he was not able to control his own mind and got distracted, huh...
@@santoshpss I have a very old beta tape of a documentary made about the life of Lanza - the narrator being Placido Domingo. Domingo was very young when he did this, so I presume this was made back in the late 60's or early 70's. It pulls no punches. Lanza was a prima donna and he was eventually banned from working in Hollywood. That is why Edmund Purdom took the role in The Student Prince and mimed Lanza's voice - and did a very good job of it too. Lanza moved to Italy and made a few films there of moderate success. Because of his ferocious appetite and massively fluctuating weight problems, Lanza went to a health clinic somewhere in Switzerland and died there of a (supposedly) massive heart attack. It is inferred in this doc that Lanza was taken out by a mafia hitman for not paying back his debt to the mafia for making him a star. All conjecture???

I am not sure, but on the last note there are two cuts ? Or is it just a bug in the recording ? I honor his technique and his art, but i just wondering what I heard.
MUY BUENO,PERO NO HA HABIDO NADIE DESPUES DE MARIO LANZA? pues NOOOOOOOOO, Y PORQUE? DIFICIL PREGUNTA Y DIFICIL RESPUESTA?

Mario's performance of Celeste Aida so heart-rending and beautiful. There are many tenors, but only one Mario Lanza.

Concordo....Per me e' il piu' grande di tutti...nessuno esprime come lui...
Brava Bruna! Mario ha studiato con Enrico Rosati chi insegnava
Piu' che un Radames e un Radamino, Corelli Pertile e Gigli tutta la vita.
No one sings as he does. He will be forever missed.

Celeste Aida, forma divina,
Mistico serto di luce e fior;
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol,
Un regal serto sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol.
Celeste Aida, forma divina,
Mistico raggio di luce e fior;
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol,
Un regal serto sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol
.nei post che ho messo nel mio canale e che riguardano l'Aida manca , guarda caso, proprio quest'aria.
mi è stato detto da qualcuno, non molto tempo fa, che questo tenore che io amo tanto non canta " sul Fiato" e che egli non è quindi da considerarsi un tenore .
vorrei proprio sapere come può, uno che non canta
" sul fiato" ,riuscire a pronunciare delle erre così' ben impostate "in maschera" nonchè aggressive come le canta appunto Lanza.
I am not sure, but on the last note there are two cuts ? Or is it just a bug in the recording ? I honor his technique and his art, but i just wondering what I heard.
MUY BUENO,PERO NO HA HABIDO NADIE DESPUES DE MARIO LANZA? pues NOOOOOOOOO, Y PORQUE? DIFICIL PREGUNTA Y DIFICIL RESPUESTA? PUES NOOOOOOOOOO, SI HAY ALGUIEN QUE TIENE LA MISMA TESITURA QUE LA DE MARIO LANZA, Y QUIEN???? PUES EL QUE ESTA ESCTIBIENDO ESTA NOTA, PERO??? PUES NO SE ME HA PRESENTADO LA OPOETUNIDAD, YO? SOY UN TENOR LIRICO,, O POSIBLEMENTE SPINTO, COMO ME LO DIJO MI MAESTRA DE CANTO, Y PUES , ESPERO QUE ESA ULTIMA GRACIA QUE ME QUEDA HACER, PUES SEA ESA LA DE CANTAR EN UN GRAN TEATRO.
ha that last note. that was .... interesting.
