Mario Lanza the 'prodigy'

Taken from the movie "The Toast of New Orleans" (1949)

[@emmalancaster2013]

Mario Lanza was the greatest tenor this country ever produced. Indeed, one of the greatest singers ANY COUNTRY EVER PRODUCED! Spectacular and such a tragic, young loss. So beautiful.

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

We will never have another Lanza. The world's greatest operatic tenor to have ever lived.. Great loss

[@ericdavies5778]

Absolutely for me The Greatest ever!

No disrespect, but you haven’t listened to many tenors have you? Especially from the first half of the 20th century.

[@patricksaxon3983]

What an amazing singer! Too bad that in today society would not appreciate a great singer.

[@franksliwa362]

This man was unique! His approach and power are unmatched! There have been many Tenors, but not like him. We are gifted with these movies and performances…

[@edwardorton3730]

I had saw Mario at Leicester De montford Hall. On the night he died we always visited some friends When I got there my wife to be told me to sit down and then told me the saddest of news Mario had died I’ve never forgot that night and I still love his voice What a shame he died so youngMaybe if I get to heaven he will be there to sing for me

[@manny2032]

Lanza voice is unmatched to date.

[@markwheatley4598]

[@giancarlaguelfi9982]

Mario Lanza meraviglioso ..voce estesa ..generosa di bella qualita'..ci ha deliziati con i suoi bellissimi film...ci ha lasciati troppo presto ..pero'sara'sempre nei nostri cuori .. Sarei felicissima se proiettassero di suoi bellissimi film non capisco perche'non si vedono piu'in TV.

Que maravilloso cantante, que canta desde el corazón. Maravillosa voz la de Mario Lanza

[@jilljames9319]

there will never be another singer anywhere near as good as Mario Lanza was.The clutches of Hollywood was to destroy him, but he bounced back in Italy.. what a beautiful family he had, all so pretty and handsome. The worst thing too was his wife dying from a broken heart.4 children left with. o parents, now three of them have passed away too.Mario,s voice will go on forever.

[@fionamurray6792]

The day after Mario died all 4 of his children came to school, Marymount, and as his eldest daughter's best friend (Colleen) I was surprised at this. The Lanzas lived in Via Bruxelles... In the villa built for Generale Badoglio.... Which was very close to where my family lived. Consequently, from 1957 to 1959 I went over many times to their villa and played with my schoolmate. I was totally unaware at the time that I would meet one of the most inspirational tenors of the era.... But I was only 9 years old! Both Betty and Mario seemed very loving parents and cared for their children very much. RIP Mario, Betty,Colleen, Damon and Mark. ELISSA.... you are a courageous lady. Fiona Finn

[@ursmue1937]

The incomparable M.Lanza inspired more people to classical music than any opera singer.

[@zuraiashvili8647]

+ursmue1937 such a shame he died so young, without fulfilling his dream to sing in the opera.

[@ursmue1937]

Benny Hill The work of M. Lanza has long been recognized worldwide Maria Callas declared in 1973 in Giovanni Viglione: "Mario Lanza was the successor to Caruso, and my biggest regret is that I never had the opportunity to sing with the greatest voices I have ever heard" . Bass Nicola Moscona who recorded in 1950 with Mario Lanza under the direction of maestro Peter Herman Adler , the sextet from Lucia di Lammermoor for the film The Great Caruso , said at the end of the recording: "This is the largest tenor with which I have sung " . Placido Domingo said: "Mario Lanza was the most romantic lyric tenors. His voice had a dramatic impact. It is for me an absolute reference " . In an interview on French television December 12, 1984, Pavarotti said: "For me, the three greatest tenors of the world were, Caruso, Gigli and Lanza" The critic Charles Osborne wrote in a study entitled " The Art and Voice of Mario Lanza ": If he had lived elsewhere in Hollywood, where at another time, or both, Mario Lanza was a serious rival for Corelli or Gigli, or even Caruso. I heard over great opera houses and famous tenors, Nessun dorma ... and Di quella pira , much less well sung. " February 28, 2013, during his "Little Italy" concert at the Zenith in Pau, Roberto Alagna paid tribute to Great Mario Lanza , interpreting one of his unforgettable songs: The Loveliest Night Of The Year . Roberto Alagna said, "It is by seeing films like The Great Caruso , shot by superstar tenor Mario Lanza I took the virus of opera. " "If Mario Lanza had not existed, the modern world would never have known the existence of the Great Caruso" , liked to tell his students the Spanish tenor Alfredo Kraus in his master classes. Maestro Sir Antonio Pappano , artistic director of the Royal Opera in London, said in 2016, in an interview posted on KZbin that can be seen by typing "Pappano we Lanza ' ' Lanza was not only A master of vocal technique, but without doubt also, with Caruso, the most famous and influential tenor. " To name a few: March 15, 1984, at the Royal Albert Hall in London, José Carreras returned to Mario Lanza tribute by dedicating a concert entitled "With A Song In My Heart" , in which he played His most famous opera songs and tunes. On February 25, 2012 a new 52-minute video was posted on KZbin. This video, made by a Russian company, reports (in Russian) the main stages in the career of Mario Lanza through numerous film clips and concerts, including interviews with Eddy Lovaglio , author of "Mario Lanza, una Voce an artista "(Azzali Editori, 2002). In London an honorary chair at the Royal Opera House , carries a plate name. In January 2006, where a commemorative plaque was placed in front of the Royal Albert Hall where Mario Lanza gave two fabulous recitals 16 and 18 January 1958. In 2016, it is Ireland , with the concert The Loveliest Night Of The Year honoring Mario Lanza for the 57th anniversary of his death (Cork Opera House October 20, 2016). usw.

[@Annamaria-iq1wy]

Come è possibile cantare con tale sentimento che si avverte fortissimo nella voce di Mario e nello stesso tempo pensare che lo stesso uomo sia prepotente ed arrogante come sostenevano alcuni suoi detratori. Quello che trasmette la voce di Mario non si può fingere neanche volendo e molti hanno provato ad imitarlo ma lui resta UNICO nella storia della musica!

"Скажите девушки подруге вашей..." - Это, ЕГО бессмертное исполнение знают и любят во всем мире, но не каждый знает, что слова для такой безмерно душевной песни родились у истинного, влюбленного в жизнь Итальянца, судьба которого была так коротка и трагична, как и у лучшего ее Исполнителя... Марио хоть вкусил всех прелестей великой Славы, а тот, почти безвестный автор вечных, и в то же время простых слов, в конце войны был казнен за колаборационизм, - но его Песня, наперекор всему, все-таки получила Бессмертие ! - Что-то в ней такое есть, что своим трагическим надрывом чувств заставляет и нас сопереживать тем сердечным порывам его тоскующей Души, которые и подарили нам ее Творение...

[@joep8787]

What sets Lanza apart from other Tenors was that when he sang, he sang like a kid who's just discovered how to ride a bike or do a back flip; he can't help but show off. He never held back; where most singers never give you 100%, he sang as if each note would be his last. Some of his covers are a bit over the top, as if he were on steroids. Check out his version of "Oh Holy Night". It sounds like it's being sung by a crazy man. Some opera buffs think that Lanza was overly emotional in his singing.

[@katrinarosales805]

NO DEBEMOS OLVIDAR QUE LA GRAN MAYORIA DE LAS RENDICIONES DE LANZA CONOCIDAS , FUERON PARA SUS PELÍCULAS, LAS CUALES NO FUERON HECHAS PARA CRÍTICOS DE OPERA, SI NO POR UN CARÁCTER SENSACIONALISTA PARA VENDER Y DAR A CONOCER LA OPERA DESDE UN PTO. DE VISTA COLECTIVO. CHE GELIDA MANINA DE 1949, FUE UTILIZADA EN EL GRAN CARUSO, y es una de las rendiciones mas sobresalientes de tenor alguno y no fue hecha con caracter sensacionalista y fue comparada con otras rendiciones de grandes tenores, se dice que en una ocasión BJORLING,dijo que fue la mejor rendición que había escuchado.

Some still claim that Lanza's voice was dependent on microphones. This despite ample testimony from people who heard him live and unmiked, who also knew a few things about operatic voices. I'm thinking especially of Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge, who heard Lanza in concert with piano accompaniment and sans microphone circa 1957 at the Albert Hall. Each was surprised by the size and volume of ML's instrument. Licia Albanese, who recorded "Dio ti giocondi" with Lanza, said his voice was "really big," if memory serves. I am quite convinced that Lanza's voice, at the very least, was as large, full and vibrant as Domingo's during Placido's prime.

[@DrRhyhm]

If one thing microphones do is belittle the operatic voice. So he probably sounded bigger live.
