[@josephwest6413]

Tears. Shivers. Goosebumps. Amazing.

[@pacopaco6]

Mario Lanza one of the best tenor of the history. Bravo 👏👏

[@rachelkristine4669]

Am so glad u liked him. Sweetheart! He is quite possibly the GREATEST tenor in history! I have all of his films & he was incomparable! Such a sad life, he lead, poor love! 🥰

[@christineokosun]

I wished he had his dream fulfilled of performing in LA Scala before he passed.

[@joansmith3807]

I love Mario Lanza. Only 38 years old when he died from a heart attack.Came from my old neighborhood in South Philadelphia. Best tenor ... He had a God given talent

[@christineokosun]

I couldn't agree more. I didn't know he died so young.

[@tsalagianisahoni6716]

From South Philly too. Went to St. Thomas Aquinas Schools. Hello neighbor. He had phlebitis. So sad.

[@johnmusalo1545]

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME AND TIME TO COME !

[@christineokosun]

I agree 💕💕💕. I wish some of my colleagues here would even take the time to listen to him. They prefer the MET opera super Tenors.

[@luisrosatti2161]

Extraordinario Lanza!

[@maureenholtham9326]

agree Christine He was the very best then and still is I was 14 when I fell in love with him I am 84 now still adore him and his passionate singing

[@christineokosun]

Wow!!! Anytime I get to know anyone who has heard such voices in real life, I am happy and kinda envious at the same time. I wish he did more classical Arias. ❤️❤️

[@realemiele.franco736]

I wholeheartedly agree with your astute observation. This man encourages the best of Tenor singers not one yet has Mario's passion.

[@christineokosun]

Thanks a lot!

[@stevecasucci9679]

Listen to " O Paradiso " by Enrico Caruso. He had the Most Passion & Power of them all

[@davidwebber9511]

Don't think so. I prefer lanza version of that aria

[@johnonosolease4732]

Beautiful singing from the legendary Mario Lanza. I wish he did more!

[@christineokosun]

I wish so Too!

[@josephwest6413]

Very nice reaction.

[@ursmue1937]

The very great Lanza, the voice !

[@christineokosun]

I wish he did more operas.

[@ronaldo190172]

My favourite singer of all time. Thank you for posting x

[@christineokosun]

My pleasure . 💕💕💕

[@marygiusy4129]

Grandissima voce insuperabile sono una fans, sono grande con l'età avevo 14 anni la prima volta che l'ho inteso alla radio quando faceva lo show della Coca Cola e mi colpì la sua voce. Grazie

[@christineokosun]

Oh! Coca Cola used to host music shows??? HE truly has a memorable voice though. I'm not surprised his voice struck you at age 14.

[@Jimfromearthoo7]

He’s one of my top favorites along with Elvis .Mario-All The Things You Are.👍

[@christineokosun]

He is ABSOLUTELY AN AMAZING SINGER!

[@baishihua]

What a full and rich voice, his edition of O Paradiso is also amazing.

[@christineokosun]

Very full even at the top notes!

[@TaraMarisaKelseyMezzoSoprano]

The movie is That Midnight Kiss his Hollywood debut 😊 adore him my favourite and greatest tenor! ❤️

[@christineokosun]

He is my tenor too!

[@Mr54nomore]

It's from the 1949 movie "That Midnight Kiss" with Kathryn Grayson. What a beautiful and powerful voice he had. He is my favorite opera singer...Great find and reaction to one of the greatest 'Tenors' the world has ever known.

[@christineokosun]

He is truly one of the greatest Tenors!💯

[@Mr54nomore]

@@christineokosun In his last movie titled "For The First Time" [1958]. Mario Lanza performs 'Vesti La Giubba.' That performance is the best version of the song I have ever heard. You must react to it...You will be pleasantly surprised. He truly was on top of his game on that performance. He also sang 'O' Sole Mio' in that movie, and again his beautiful and powerful voice made it so memorable. So memorable that Elvis Presley would later do an English version which would become one of his biggest hits titled "Its Now Or Never."

[@christineokosun]

@@Mr54nomore oh where can I get the movie please? 💃💃💃💃. Do you have a link for the two arias you mentioned please?

[@Mr54nomore]

@@christineokosun A you tube channel named 'Vincent Di Placido' has both of those songs from the 1958 movie 'For The First Time.' I hope this helps.

[@christineokosun]

@@Mr54nomore thanks a lot!!! Jumping to the channel right now!

[@josephwest6413]

Very nice. Thank you. Viva Mario.

[@FAMA-18]

Mario Lanza was a fabulous tenor but for me there’s no other like the great Franco Corelli. Good reaction!

[@christineokosun]

And Monaco, Richard Tucker, In short the old school were AWESOME!!!

[@grahamlees3199]

the voice simply a gift from god

[@gigiinsulana4814]

MÁRIO ETERNO EM NOSSOS CORAÇÕES.

[@JUANPEREZ-sm1tw]

GOD open the ears of the deaf only when Lanza sings.😁

[@rowoli]

Amazing content 👏

[@christineokosun]

Thanks a lot!

[@misemefein-ws6tp]

Check out him singing "Be my love", "The loveliest night of the year ", "I'll walk with God".😊

[@SimonTBam]

You can hear the first half of this recording of this aria on one of the Sepia discs.

[@stevecasucci9679]

Listen to the.movie. The great Caruso or also. " O Paradiso " & " The.flower song " &.veste guvida " etc. Even through the primative recording. Hes still the Best of the Best!!!

[@christineokosun]

I've been searching for the movie on KZbin with no luck

[@stevecasucci9679]

@@christineokosun i had trouble also though it definitely exists. You can probably get A&E Biography on Enrico Caruso from KZbin. Also a cute movie. called " The day i met Caruso " I had the fortunate opportunity to find the Caruso Museum in Brooklyn N.Y. Many of the Photos including the owner of the museum are in the A&E documentary. That's.how i got the facts

[@johnpaulchimdiochei7156]

Go Christie!

[@christineokosun]

Thanks a lot J.P!

[@josephwest6413]

Lanza inspired Pavarotti, Domingo and Careras.

[@realemiele.franco736]

I always return to Mario's voice as a proper Tenor... everything else is secondary.

[@luisrosatti2072]

UNA VOZ ÚNICA, IRREPETIBLE...

[@cheryljohnson733]

H e never got his due because he performed in musicals and not on the opera stage

[@christineokosun]

Precisely!! Although I learnt that his main desire was to perform in an opera but he had already signed a contract with a television programme or so and prior to his death, he was supposed to perform in an opera.

[@stevecasucci9679]

Try to get Caruso to sing this but remember he sang before the microphone was invented. All the Great Tenors & Opera experts know he's the best !!!

[@christineokosun]

Caruso is great!!!!

[@stevecasucci9679]

ENRICO CARUSO sang this the BEST along with " Vesti juvida " & many others

[@FriendsInNY]

Thanks you for posting this. I am sure your students are blessed to have you as teacher. Absolutely fantastic rendition and ranks well among the best. Try this Neapolitan classic “Fenesta ca lucive” kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppqtdZZpdqh8Zs0 recorded when Mario was in failing health (died less than a year after recording). This is a prime example of how to do that genre of music. Done under the excellent direction of Conductor Franco Ferrera, Mario forms ever note and word with the emotion due them. Not only does his physical voice frame them exceptionally but his phrasing is more than exceptional. If this is not a listen on HOW to sing what is? As another example of his artistry for your students less versed in the Italian forms I suggest "Guardian Angels" kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZjIcoJppLZlbqc. Again thanks.

[@rockybalboap7763]

Be my love is his best song by a country mile?

[@stevecasucci9679]

ENRICO CARUSO ( Mario's Idol ) SANG THIS SONG THE BEST!!! Also Mario & Pavarotti said Caruso was the Greatest

[@christineokosun]

That's a FACT!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@stevecasucci9679]

ENRICO CARUSO sang this the best because he is the Best!!!

[@stevecasucci9679]

Caruso sang before the microphone was invented 1925. So you really need to listen carefully though. He had the smoothest. Most Powerful & best acting ability. Hes the original who created this standard of singing! Pavorotti said that Caruso is unsurpassed & the base of the mountain. There's Caruso & the Others!
