There is a reason Lanza didn't sing at the Met or any other respectable opera house. The critics and the audience would not have been kind. He would have been more at home on American Idol.

Thankyou very much for these uploads. My mother tells me I would sit and listen to Mario Lanza for hours as a child, and I still love his voice now 40 years later.

Hey Jon. Oh i just got into a real nasty knock-down drag out war with 2 complete idiots who said Lanza was just a pop singer and can't be classified as a Opera Singer. It really burns me up when people make such fools out of themselves. I do hope your doing fine my friend. Best Regards Always. James

Hello Yoni89,
I really like your videos of Mario Lanza, such a wonderful voice!
Thanks

Hey Jon; How have you been? I haven't heard from you in a long time. Hope your doing fine. Your Friend James

Thank you for the moving words you wrote about Lanza's 1952 home recording of "Un dì all'azzurro spazio". I feel the same way, and greatly appreciate the effort you have put into promoting his legacy on Youtube.

Best wishes,

Khan Konchak

Thanks for the comments Yoni. I just get sick and tired of anti-Semitic jerks blaming Israel and the Jewish people for all of the world's ills. May God bless you and the rest of the Jewish community. I'm not Jewish my self, but after seeing some of the wonderful Jewish customs and hearing the beautiful Hebrew language on various YouTube channels, it makes me wish sometimes I was born Jewish.
