Mario Lanza- RARE 1952 Dicitencello vuie (Falvo)

[tallscandinavian]

Absolutely unique voice

[stevetanzer]

Forget Pavarotti, Domingo, even Caruso(no offense). Let's face it....

there's only one Mario! The vocal perfection, the soul, the unbridled

passion. To be a great tenor, he's all you need to listen to. Rest in Peace.

i agree that the 1958 version in the best!

there is a GREAT CD compilation that has that song on it. It may be out of print, but you can get it on ebay or something!

[khankonchak]

To each his own. The 1958 recording is certainly attractive and well-sung, but it lacks the incandescent passion and intensity of this one. I find the later version to be overly lachrymose; this is, after all, a lover's impassioned plea, and the heartache is much more in evidence here. The 1958 rendition was released on the "Mario!" album, a compilation of Neapolitan songs. It was reissued on CD some years ago and is still available today.

His 1958 version is better but these home-movie clips are amazing, thank you for posting

[Zibanejad]

No- one can hold a candle to Mario´s expressiveness and unique voice....No-one!!!!!

Hi - I also have this home movie clip and other rare clips (Mario attending Court etc) obtained through the Society I am a member of about twenty years ago.

There isn't a more passionate, powerful and simultaneously tender, beautiful singing voice other than his, no matter which song or aria is interpreted

[cacata98]

How can I find jewels like this from Mario Lanza an unforgetable voice?

[dimare3]

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Thank you so much for this one.

La musica italiana è ottima cantato da Mario Lanza. Piena di PASSIONE!!!

[SashandSnuffelupagus]

He sings as if it comes from his soul There are many many wonderful tenors BUT None can compare.

Thank you for posting this.

[wolkowy1]

Most beautiful version of this song with Lanza's great voice, and the authentic Neapolitan dialect too!

[michaelantonelli1957]

no one ever sang this song like him the best of all time. i here his heart in the song.

[sruotecnarf]

[pearlmuth3]

I instantly know that THE FELLOW IN THE POOL IS TERRY ROBINSON, MARIO's BUDDY IN CALIFORNIA, TEACHING MARIO'S DAUGHTER TO SWIM. MARY AND TONY COCOZZA HIS PARENTS ARE IN THE CLIP ALSO AND MARIO's YOUNG SON ALSO AT THAT TIME. I HAVE THE SAME CLIP FROM FAMILY MOVIES AS I WAS A FAMILY FRIEND.

[RiderFilth06]

You must be his son to possess such rare recordings and videos. Either way, thank you so much for this. We are so spoiled to hear this.

[mcc1691]
