I don't know which I am impressed with more---Jan's performance or the fact that it is being played on the wonderful, classic Dual turntable made in Germany; please be advised that the Dual turntables, with 3-speeds (78-45-33 rpm) are definitely lifetime keepers and translate the analog signal into such perfection that digital could never match. With Jan and Dual, how can you go wrong? Thanks a million for posting.

@KojiRecords I don't use that turntable anymore. All it does is chew up the records with that arm; even their best decks during the 70s did. I hate to say it (I wouldn't even buy a Jap car), but the Jap company Pioneer made the best stereo equipment in the 70s.

@VinylToVideo I agree with you about records being chewed up. I don't know why people knock the fabulous digital transfers. I have some stuff on an MP3 and I can hear excellent quality with it in the car. The digital age meant we could get wonderful transfers and even "enhanced" recordings from some pretty rough old 78s. I would prefer to hear a clear enhanced Caruso or Gigli than something which sounds as if it was recorded in a force ten gale.

@voicemad All I said is I don't use this particular turntable anymore. I use my other turntable far more often than I use my iPod, but most often I'll transfer the recordings to CD. I do not listen to MP3 files as they sound worse than cassette tape.

Peerce's performance in this song, as with everything else on this album, is OUTSTANDING. Thank you VERY much for sharing this with us!!!! Now, could somebody PLEASE post Richard Tucker's recording of this song, too, along with other selections from THE EXODUS SONG: RICHARD TUCKER SINGS GREAT SONGS OF LOVE AND INSPIRATION?? That recording is every bit as great in its own way as this one!

[VinylToVideo]

Yes I have that fantastic Tucker album on both LP and reel to reel. Will post excerpts eventually.

Thank you so much for posting this beautiful song! Jan Peerce, Richard Tucker and Mario Lanza had exceptional voices, each with it's own beauty. I recall many a night when my Dad opened the Grundig, and we took turns in chosing which 78 we wanted to hear!! What an awesome memory!! Now, I'm 10 000km from the 78's and we miss listening to them!!

@ShawDAMAN - What!! You don't care for Mario Lanza's version of this selection. I believe it is most inspiring.

One of my earliest recollections (I was about 3) was being taken to a church where my Father sang "Panis Angelicus". His voice had been slightly damaged by illness and surgery but the rural congregation gasped. I doubt they had ever heard a trained tenor. One day Jan Peerce visited. He and my Father sang together while I listened slack-jawed in amazement. Thank you for letting me hear Mr. Peerce again. My dear Father's voice is in my mind forever.

One of the FEW who can walk in the bedroom slippers of Caruso.
