When a person sings and takes you on the journey with them, when a person sings with such passion it caresses your very soul! Mario you sang with such meaning, you sang with passion and helped heal so many...Truly gifted and forever legendary! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Every song Mario Lanza sings is magnificent. He puts a song in everyone's heart. Thankfully we have these beautiful videos to listen to. Memorable times!
... Люблю... Наслаждаюсь... Голос и пение Марио Ланца делают мою жизнь ярче, наряднее, помогают бороться с унынием, не смотря на то, что слёзы текут, пока слушаю чарующий голос Марио Ланца... ♥️♥️♥️👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
This beautiful song is using the famous main theme in the third movement of Quartet No.2 in D major for Strings written by Alexander Borodin ( 11/12/1833 - 2/27/1887 ) who was a 19th century polymath (surgeon, important research chemist, educator and famous composer )
Thank you ‘MegaMusiclover1234’ for this fantastic upload. I grew up going to see Mario Lanza musicals. I am from Philadelphia, where he was born. How sad he died so young. R.I.P. Mr. Lanza! 🥰👍
Norma Hobson Truly, we are most lucky to not only have seen and heard him live on T.V. many years ago, but also to be blessed with his many recordings. It is through these recordings that new generations of music lovers may know and learn from him. There are a number of tenors with beautiful voices, but very few whose singing reaches our inner soul and touches our hearts so intimately. Mario, himself, wrote that he sings from his heart. He gives us chills and can bring us to tears. May God rest his soul, he is greatly missed. Kind Regards, Sandra.
Norma. Ive loved lanzas voice since i was about 4. Ive listened to him thousands of times. But its pointless to say he, Caruso or Pavarotti was ' the greatest of all time' even if you had heard them all live at their best. Art is subjective and especially in the field of singing. I enjoy all the great tenors on their metits. They may well have been others who never even made a decent recording!
Wendy, Thank you so much for your comment. Your love of the music by Borodin, lead me to search for detailed information about him. Here is some of his fascinating history that I found via Wikipedia on the Internet: "Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin (Russian: Алекса́ндр Порфи́рьевич Бороди́н; 12 November 1833 - 27 February 1887) was a Russian Romantic composer of Georgian origin, as well as a doctor and chemist. He was one of the prominent 19th century composers known as The Mighty Handful, a group dedicated to producing a uniquely Russian kind of classical music, rather than imitating earlier Western European models. Borodin is best known for his symphonies, his two string quartets, In the Steppes of Central Asia and his opera Prince Igor. Music from Prince Igor and his string quartets was later adapted for the US musical Kismet. A notable advocate of women's rights, Borodin was a promoter of education in Russia and founded the School of Medicine for Women in St. Petersburg." (Above quote is from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Borodin) The mention of his opera, Prince Igor, reminded me of one of our trips to Italy, a few years back, which included Milan. There, we had the great pleasure, one evening, to attend a presentation of his opera at La Scala. It was magnificently done in every way. The best presentation that we have ever attended. Thank you so much for bringing back such a beautiful memory for me. Kind Regards, Sandra
Shirley, Thank you for your lovely comment. I appreciate that you think my video is awesome. I try to combine Mario's wonderful voice with beautiful paintings. I am pleased that you like it. Kind Regards, Sandra
+Ирина Малафеева Irina, In English, you wrote, "All from Mario's voice turns into a masterpiece". Your comment is beautifully said and very true. May you have a wonderful week-end. Kindest Regards, Sandra
I understand that he did ALL of his recordings b4 stereo. In other words, he only sang into one microphone. Can't imagine how dynamic this would be had it been recorded in stereo.
Joe, Thank you for your kind comment. I am very happy that you like my video. It is especially wonderful to hear from singers who are fans of Mario. If singing is your career, may you achieve great success. I am now, once again, able to write direct responses to comments. Kind Regards, Sandra
Thank you Sandra that is the song which I think is from Kismet. Also I left you a couple of messages about a c.d, regarding a 1958 concert at Royal Albert Hall in England which, to be exact, was performed on January 16th,1958 and is just great as he is joking with audience performs so well-hope you are able to get ot.
+sugarbist Thank you for your comment. This is a great song for Valentine's Day isn't it? I am pleased that you like it. Happy Valentine's Day! Kind Regards, Sandra
+MegaMusiclover1234 Yes Sandra, it's a wonderful song for Valentine's Day. I think that Lanza was the best in the interpretation of the American songs. Very beautiful
@@sugarbist i bought it when it came out around 1956, the record reviews where very mixed at the time, but this was very passionately sung in his own unique style. The LP was called "Lanza on B' Way" It Did have a very fine "You'll never walk alone" on it, sung in great and properly restrained voice.
Gala, In English you wrote, "I LOVE, I adore, I listen to the hot passionate powerful gentle voice CONSTANTLY - there is no one better !!!" Thank you for your wonderful comment. Thank goodness for the great recordings which he left for us to enjoy these many years. Kind Regards, Sandra
John, You are very kind, I appreciate your nice comment. I am glad that you like my presentation. Mario's beautiful voice, of course, is my inspiration. I am pleased that you like the result. Kind Regards, Sandra

@JupiterIV Thank you for your question. According to Wikipedia , “It was from the 1953 musical Kismet and is credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest. Like all the music in that show, the melody was in fact based on music composed by Alexander Borodin, in this case, Borodin's String Quartet in D. ...A version by Mario Lanza became popular in 1956.” Check “description” section for the exact Wikipedia URL. I hope that you enjoyed my video with Mario. Please revisit for more Lanza videos.
Peter Farrar:- The brilliant combination talents of Wright & Forrest, adapted classical composer Alexander Borodin's music into a beautiful romantic ballad, "And This Is My Beloved." Super star tenor Mario Lanza applied his incomparable unique musical talents, with a powerful performance reaching sincerely & profoundly into his heart & soul. Ray Sinatra with his superb string orchestra gave great support to Mario, & raised this musical episode to the ceiling of the stars in the blue, that sparkled & acknowleged a great performance. Golden words of poetic flamboyance, with a hint of the essence of the mysterious fantasy world of romance, by Peter E. Farrar. 3:12.
Wonderful both Alexander Borodin, 19th C. And Mario Lanza. This music was used at the end, with the credits in one of the most exquisite movies "the house of mirth" based on novel if Edith Wharton. The main music theme is the lovely also so soulful.baroque Alessandro Marcello, concerto in D-minor. Thanks to the film makers for such fine taste, in every detail.
Thank you, I am happy that you enjoyed this video. May you like my other videos with Mario as much. Some of my videos feature dance sequences with Fred Astaire and one of his partners, or ice skating with champions Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov. My latest Mario video features ballet dancing of Rudolph Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn. There are many to choose from. May you find others which please you as much. Thank you again.
I believe that this song is also known as "The Dance Of The Polevesion Maidens". I am not good at computing so maybe you can find this out. I may have misspelled Polevsion incorrectly.
Norma Hobson The Dance Of The Polovtsian Maidens contains a song which has become popularly known as "Stranger in Paradise". It starts out with "Take my hand, I'm a stranger in paradise". Perhaps that is the song which you are bringing to mind. I hope that this information has been helpful. Kind Regards, Sandra
Yes I am not sure of the spelling either. I tried to send you a message about an 1958 concert performed by Mario Lanza from The Royal Albert Hall in London, England which is absolutely fabulous. In it you can hear him joking with audience and humming. At the end of the concert the audience is heard stamping their feet in approval. The man responible for this c.d. is Sam Samuelson. I could not get this on Amazon.ca but my friend got it on Amazon.com. She said it is just great. Hope you can find this, Sandra.
En otras oportunidades he dado juicio sobre Mario Lanza. Un cantante de extraordinario temperamento y expresiòn . Influenciò en todos los cantantes mas famosos de nuetra generaciòn. En la opera cinematografica y en la canciòn espectacular. Fue siempre mi favorito. Y muy pocos sabemos lo que sufriò.
Patricio, In English, you wrote, "On other occasions I have given judgment on Mario Lanza. A singer of extraordinary temperament and expression. Influenced all the most famous singers of our generation. In the cinematographic opera and in the spectacular song. It was always my favorite. And very few know what he suffered.". You are correct, Mario was extraordinary in every way. He influenced not only opera singers, but but those of every singing ability. Perhaps his "suffering" gave extra feeling to his singing from his heart to our own hearts. He is greatly missed. Thank goodness for his wonderful recordings. May he rest in peace. He also sings for the angels now. Kind Regards. Sandra
Yes, well the LP this was from was , "Lanza on B' Way" as it was called, I bought probably in 1956, it was new then and I was only 16, and had all his records and seen all his films since I was 10, in 1950 and saw " the toast of New Orleans " the reviews by the critics then where mixed saying he strained his voice in some of the songs, but it was passionate in his own style, even if some fans saying it was "over the top" and strained, anyhow he sure sang it full out , it was a great voice even if here not at his very best for some of his fans. On tat record is a fine " You'll never walk alone"
When a person sings and takes you on the journey with them, when a person sings with such passion it caresses your very soul!
Mario you sang with such meaning, you sang with passion and helped heal so many...Truly gifted and forever legendary! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What a great opera singer. He grew up in Philadelphia, where I have lived all my life.
Jackie Mcmeekin - You need to go to this Era of Great Music and Leave Hip Hop!😺
So beautifully classical! Wonderful ... thank you for the opportunity to listen!
Its lovely to be able to play this sort of music. Hard to find good music these days .
Yes, Denise,I agree. But we have so many treasures of classical music and I hope it will be preserved.
My God, he sings and the years melt away...
Sam,
You are so right. His beautiful voice is eternal.
Kind Regards,
Sandra

Thank God for all the fabulous music we are able to enjoy, linked with fabulous singers like Lanza.
Still got his records - my father was a great fan - preferred him to the great Gigli, favourite tenor of that time.
Mario Lanza has the true heart of love to sing these magnificent songs. Beautiful!
MARIO WAS INCOMPARABLE AS A SINGER WHILE HE LIVED!!!
This takes me back to my youth.

No one compares to his voice. Extraordinary
