Mario Lanza - Nessun Dorma (HQ)

Mario Lanza singing Calaf's act 3 aria from Puccini's "Turandot". This Clip is from Mario's 1956 film "Serenade".

[@wiltonfarm4816]

The best version of Nessun Dorma ever sung.

[@patricialivingston5349]

WOW!! Best rendition I have EVER heard. I could not breathe till Lanza ended the song. Perfection. He owns Nessun Dorma, what incredible passion, his talent is extraordinary. There is no one like Lanza.

[@yvonneollivier7088]

Yes.

[@deerhoda7574]

I weep. Sometimes I can listen, and not cry and then sometimes.. Mario sings with his whole being. I feel jealous of the people who knew him , those who heard him in person. Silly I guess I was just a child when he died. A million, a trillion times it can be said he was the greatest, ever, and its true every time.

[@yvonnedee9243]

everything you say Dee Rhoda l agree with he was the greatest singer ever .l too am jealous of all the people who knew him and heard him sing .

Me too. I was 21 when he died. As a teenager I worshipped hm. So sad that he died. He WAS the greatest ever.

Oh, to have heard him in person! The recording technology of his day could not capture his voice completely… still, I’m so grateful that his voice / singing has been recorded for us to hear all these years later! ✨🎵

[@rnhealer6044]

Evelyn, Mario Lanza could sing anything with such passion that he could make it his alone. I just watched three different tenors sing Nessun Dorma and came back here to watch Lanza again. No comparison. When I watch this video, from Serenade, I am crying by the end. Amazing. So sad that his life fell apart and he couldn't function in the end. A tragic loss to pass at 38.

[@kennethfidler4340]

I went to work at Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland for my first season there in 1976. I was 20 years old. One afternoon in our staff accommodation, I heard this most marvellous record being played by an Italian waiter from our dining room where I also worked as a demi-chef de rang. I went to him and asked who it was and he told me Mario Lanza and showed me the album sleeve. I have been entranced by that voice ever since. As soon as I had my first day off, I went to Perth and bought an album of Lanza. Have been a fan ever since. Simply the best!

[@Califgracer]

Amazing voice, God's gift to the world. Hard to believe that he has been gone for nearly 61 years, but his music lives on!

[@unclerat2131]

The greatest tenors of the last century said that Lanza was the best tenor of the century. Who am I to question what they say. I am just a mortal who will be forgotten a short time after the first shovel of dirt is thrown down on me.

OMG, what a vocal cords he had, unbelievable! RIP, The Great Mario!

[@luisorellanacastillo2685]

Esta área de ópera es una de las más bellas que se ha concebido. Turandot de Puccini. La escucho siempre y siempre la disfruto. No importa el intérprete si es de la calidad de un Mario Lanza. Pero entonces uno se hace una lista de cual es sutilmente mejor intérprete que otro. Personalmente considero que quien lo interpreta mejor, porque no le cuesta en absoluto llegar a las notas más altas es Jussy Bjiorling. El color de voz inconfundible es de Pavarotti, pero el que más se asemeja a Bjiorling es Tito Bertran quien también logra esa interpretación sin esfuerzo para llegar a semejante altura. A través de la historia de la lírica han habido voces bellísimas. Las diferencias son sutilezas que cada cual trata de disfrutar.
