Mario Lanza! sings Tosca. (JB Classical)

[@belindawilliams3728]

Thank you for sharing our dear Mario to the internet crowd. He did have a mutual love affair with the UK and especially Queen Elizabeth II. I am from the US. 🇺🇸 Mario was an Anointed Voice. That huge lirico-spinto tenor is unmatched. Bellissimo Mario! I throw a kiss to Heaven to honor our Maestro Mario Lanza! ❤

Thank you for celebrating Mario Lanza! Greetings from Italy!

[@TheStruggleUK.]

Hello from the UK! Thank you for watching, Mario seems to have been a popular artist to cover and I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

Well, first commenter today and greetings from NSW Australia! This is one of my absolute favourite arias. I had always just kind of dismissed Mario Lanza, but then I watched a doco about him and completely changed my mind. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@TheStruggleUK.]

Hello! how is Queensland? Is everything getting back to normal, are live concerts back on in NWS? It must be one of the most popular arias in all of opera. I have to admit I was rather with you on Mario when I was younger and the BBC still used to show his films here but I was impressed while watching and choosing a performance for this video. Thanks for watching and saying hello, don't be a stranger :-)

Mario lanza had every bit a powerful voice as Pavarotti..if you hear true tenors and operatic stars who have sung with Lanza will tell you that is voice was very powerful. If you judge a tenor on one live show then you are very narrow.. lanza

The greatest tenor of them all

La beauté de la voix de Mario Lanza est unique! Personne ne peut le surpasser jusqu'a présent.👏👏👏

La voce di Mario Lanza attraversa il tempo e ci arriva ancora oggi con la meraviglia e l 'ammirazione di sempre.Grazie per averlo ricordato.

Ciao Anna, grazie per aver guardato e fatto un commento così bello. Sono d'accordo che quando si guarda Mario cantare i 65 anni tra la performance e noi evapora come fa con la grande arte e artisti 😊

[@hrbooksmusic7878]

Stunning... touching... You simply can‘t put more in or get more out of this deeply emotional aria... ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks for posting! 🙏🍀

[@saguaro2231]

Thank you for such a pleasant time!....It's been a long time since I've heard Mario Lanza...though I'll not forget him in South Pacific....what a wonderful voice and musical choice....and your comment about the value of music to the soul....Thank you! {& you are just fine; friendly and pleasant looking..

[@TheStruggleUK.]

My pleasure, I must admit that I've never seen south pacific but of course I know many of the songs and love 'some enchanted evening' a great song. Thank you for such lovely compliments you are too kind :-)

[@singerman2008]

mario was never in south pacific.....but he was amazing

[@joansmith5870]

I came from the same South Philadelphia neighborhood that Mario Lanza was from. He was the most natural singer and brought opera to the masses. Sadly, he wasn't well disciplined and died of a heart attack at age 38. From my perspective he was the greatest tenor ever in his short career.

È strepitoso non solo per la sua UNICA VOCE ma per come interpreta con L anima ciò che canta! INSUPERABILE! RIP MARIO

[@jbclassical7332]

Ciao Rosanna! Grazie per i tuoi commenti, sono contento che ti sia piaciuta la performance. Ricordo di aver visto i film di Mario da ragazzo, ma questa è la prima volta che lo ho visto cantare dal vivo. Grazie per aver guardato 😊

[@rosannarisi622]

@@jbclassical7332 io ero una bambina terrorizzata dalla guerra( abitavo nei pressi della stazione Tiburtina di Roma e ricordo il terrore delle bimbe ancora oggi) ma la paura cessò quando trovai in un cinema di periferia una voce splendida che sussurrava A VUCCHELLA e tutto divenne radioso e possibile !A 10 anni mi innamorai della musica lirica !

[@SimonTBam]

Mario Lanza's voice was far larger than Pavarotti's even at Pavarotti's height. I think you will find its the recording that is the issue. Pavarotti was a lyric tenor, Lanza was a spinto tenor. Spinto tenors tend to have much bigger voices. In january 1958 Lanza sang totally un-amplified in the Royal Albert Hall before the modification of the acoustics and more than filled the building with sound. Luciano Pavarotti never dared to do that even after the acoustics were 'fixed' in the RAH. Pavarotti had a heap of squillo so could be heard well in the opera house, especially in his younger days, but his voice was never big in the sense that Lanza's was.

[@ronaldo190172]

I agree, not that it's ANY kind of debate, that Mario's voice was much bigger than Luciano's. Do some research, please X

[@patrician7445]

"The Student Prince" is the first film I remember from my youth. Mario's glorious voice was used for the lead actor, and I fell in love with it. I have the album. Please react to his "Be My Love." Thank you for your reaction. Best wishes from Texas!
