I had only seen the "The Great Caruso" Lanza performane of this. Glad Ive found your clip compilation with the full Lanza Che Gelida Manina. Its beautiful. My dear old ma will love seeing it. Thanks.
Tauheke: Pathological, in psychiatric terms, means rooted in a mental or emotional defect. No matter how he tried, how much treatment he received, Lanza could not over come his stage fright or insecurities: he performed in repertory only twice. It also contributed to his death at 38: he was in a 'health clinic' or sanitarium to overcome a huge weight gain and prepare for a concert tour when he died. He had all the gifts, Mario, except emotional health, and it killed him. Tragic.
The greatest rendition of this beautiful aria bar none....Mario had it all, period. Noone ever approached the quality of his singing and never will. His voice was extraordinary.
A pity that Lanza had such pathological stage fright he only performed twice in repertory. That's why the purists knock him: they think he was a Hollywood creation. This is an extraordinary voice: soaring, musical, with a flawless emotional reading that makes this one of the great Rodolfos. Bravo, maestro Lanza.
@DiPlacido71 "Lanza was my entry into operatic music." Not only the yours. I always adored his voice and still do. Many famous tenors admit to have decided to follow the music path after having heard M.L. He is the man who brought opera to the bright public.

Clever use of Lanza movie clips adapted and synched with your bag of tricks to have Mario singing this aria in spots. Way to go!
