Editorial Reviews

"On these programs Lanza is warm, appealing, manly, charismatic and full of vitality. On some occasions his voice sounded coarse, thick and labored. But here it has a glow – the full voice rings, the mezza voce is sweet. When he sings you see that his tongue has a furrow down the middle, as advocated by many voice teachers." - STEFAN ZUCKER

This DVD has PCM audio rather than compressed formats such as Dolby Digital, which retain only a fraction of the original sound because you. Bel Canto Society DVDs, videos and CDs are advertised and reviewed in Gramophone, International Record Review, Classics Today, Classical CD Review, Classic Record Collector and Opera News.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest voice, December 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mario Lanza (DVD)
Any opportunity to see rare film of the owner of the greatest voice ever to find its way to a human throat is not to be missed. Mario Lanza was without equal in his day, and such remains the case at present. Many of the more candid operatic stars of today admit to Lanza as having served as their inspiration. The world lost far too soon the greatest gift ever presented to the concert stage. Occasionally, there comes along a voice remarkable for its sheer beauty; another may gain fame as the possessor of phenomenal power and size, while another may become known for astonishing range. How breathtaking it truly is when ALL these qualities, and more, come together in a single voice. Mario Lanza. As good as it gets. As good as it CAN get.

This review is from: Mario Lanza (DVD)
Good quality recording especially the segment of "The Christophers". The others were lip-sink.
