MARIO LANZA & Jean Fenn "O soave fanciulla" July 05.1955

Schade dass es keine Gesamtaufnahme der Boheme mit Mario Lanza gibt!!!

This recording has everything , accompanist , a fine soprano a brilliant composer and a fine tenor. the only thing it lacked was a producer to tell Mario that he was not entitled to walk all over the soprano. Puccini wrote the final high notes for the soprano, the tenor is supposed to harmonise below her. Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, the only tenors who do this are those who must. Here, Mario blasts over Ms Fenn at her  entrance as well as at the end. great voices poor direction.
