Mario Lanza "Ave Maria" from "Serenade"

Mario Lanza was one of my late wife's and my favourite singer. She died 2 days before Christmas Day 2019. I miss her terribly. Whenever I hear Ave Maria, I always think of her and say a silent prayer. I hope and believe she is with the angels, waiting for me. Please, pray for us.

Благодарю Вас за счастье, что Вы мне подарили! Величайший певец 20 столетия, незабываемый чистейший голос, слушать и слушать! Непревзойдённое исполнение " Аве, Мариа" Ф. Шуберта, всё сплелось в одном имени Марио Ланца. Да, рядом с ним ярчайшая испанская актриса и певица Сарра Монтьель. Ещё в далёкие 60-е годы прошлого столетия девочкой 12 лет смотрела незабываемую мелодраму "Серенада большой любви", под таким названием у нас в СССР шёл этот фильм. Какие красивые лица, одухотворённость, чистота души. В то время я смотрела этот фильм несколько раз в ближайших кинотеатрах. Вот так я влюбилась в этих двух непревзойдённых Артистов с большой буквы. Затем в 80-х годах на нашем радио вёл целый цикл передач о Марио Ланце ещё один величайший певец моей страны всех времён Муслим Магомаев. Я и моя семья стремились не пропустить ни одной передачи. Вот так переплелась моя любовь к искусству, музыке и величайшим исполнителям современности.

Dear Mr. Di Placido (part 2) I always play them back to back, The Lord's Prayer and then the Ave. When I watched this clip (many years ago now) for the first time, it prompted me to find the words (surely we could never use the word 'lyrics' for this!!!), both in Latin and English. It also prompted me to do research and I discovered this is the Schubert Ave. I can't help but believe it is divinely inspired. Again I'm lifted up on the wings of eagles and a peace - like a hug from mom or a warm blanket on a cold night - a peace settles on my heart and all is well with the world. Thank you, dear friend. Thank you for this post. It's heartening to know it will live forever on KZbin.

I will search now for Serenade, I need to see the movie. I have to say after seeing and hearing this Ave Maria, if this was real and this person started singing like that next to me in church.

No extensive reaching to scale the notes. No visible strain. Just an all powerful vocal rendering that is majestic and joyous to listen to. A sweet sound that caresses the ears rather than assaulting them. As with many other opinions printed here, Lanza for me is the most beautiful operatic voice of all time. His tragic early passing kept Mario Lanza from being recognized for what he was. The most exquisite voice in Operas long and glorious history.

Who else but Mario Lanza could sing this with such passion? He was the most versatile tenor of all time. He sang lyric opera magnificently as he did popular songs; perform on the stage and screen, radio and television. There has never been anyone like him before or after who also had an amazing influence on singers and performers everywhere.

It is a must for anyone who loves Lanza and great music and great voices.
