Dr. Tom LoMonaco - De Falla Songs - Alberta Masiello, pianist - 1954

This is a video and recording of my great mentor Dr. Thomas LoMonaco who passed away January 21, 2012. He was one of the greatest singers in history and one of the greatest teachers. He will be greatly missed by many who had the privilege of learning from his mastery. This is Tom in his prime, before he became sick with Parkinson's which unfortunately shortened his performing career, but thank God he dedicated himself to teaching. More of his recordings in his prime to come!!!

Thank you so much for posting this. I worked with Tom for several years back in the 90's. It would not be an understatement that knowing him changed my life. What a great man, a great voice, and a great teacher. I hope more recordings of him singing surface. The don't make 'em like that anymore.

Tom was a very important mentor and I am honored to have taken lessons with him. Always supportive, always with something quick and clever on the tip of his tongue, and always with some new way to try something. He will be greatly greatly missed!

Total perfection! Tom had a voice that was powerful, clear, steady, very much in his control. A real vocal master! Thank you so much for sharing this wonder of the vocal world.
