Free Music Review: Mario Lanza: Opera Arias & Duets...What Might Have Been
Hit: 5 Stars
Toscanini called Lanza's voice the "Greatest natural tenor voice of the 20th Century." In listening to this disc one understands why he made this amazing statement. Every track is wonderful and exciting listening, but the real gems are the recordings which have, up to now, never been released. The lovely aria "Amor ti vieta" from Giordano's seldom performed FEDORA is sung so lyrically at the start and then builds to a wonderful verismo climax. His reading of "Lamento di Federico" from L'ARLESIANA, finds Lanza in beautiful shape vocally and his investment of passion and pathos of this work is overflowing. One note regarding this aria from this seldom done work; would that Mario have observed the composers dynamics a bit more. It is a lyric piece and often times more effective when sung with that type of approach. One of the finest tracks on this reasonably priced recording is the third act duet from Verdi's OTELLO. Lanza is partnered by the great soprano Licia Albanese. The singing is glorious and had Mario lived past the age of 38, he would have, in all likelihood, have created an Otello on the opera stage that would have rivaled even Del Monaco and Domingo. Certain music critics still turn their noses up at the mention of Mario Lanza doubting his legitimacy as a classical vocalist. To them I commend this recording. Listen, and with objectivity, and you will hear the "Greatest natural tenor voice of the 20th Century."
