Free Music Notes for Mario Lanza Sings Songs From The Student Prince & The Desert Song / Romberg Album
Free Music Review: Fabulous
Hit: 5 Stars
This cd is a fabulous example of the great American tenor Mario Lanza. While much of the music is not as polished as professionalism demands, Lanza's raw, energetic sound is THE MOST exciting tenor singing I have ever heard. The first track, the Orchestral Introduction, is a medly of tunes from the Student Prince and is so-so. The second track is the famous Serenade which I have never heard anyone sing like Lanza (Domingo, Heppner....). His high notes are ringing. However, some of his pronunciations are not as clean, standard as they should be. The Drinking Song is, again, just strait ahead, ringing singing. Beloved is probably the most polished track from the Student Prince, with the least pronunciation problems. I'll Walk With God is quite good. There are a few notes which are not really clean, and he hits the last B flat rather open and twists the vowel. Many of the problems with recordings are things which could easily have been fixed in a retake, and I cannot understand why the studio did not make him fix them. I would venture to guess that they didn't really care because it wasn't for a classical audience but instead was for the general public who wouldn't know the difference.In the selections from the Desert Song, one can hear how Lanza has progressed from the wide open, strait ahead singing of his Student Prince years to a more refined, darker, operatic sound. I personally prefer his younger, open sound, because the operatic sound seems put on, or overdone at times, as if he was just arbitrary darkening his voice. However, the singing on the Desert Song is generally impressive, if not as thrilling as the tracks from the Student Prince.
This album is a must get. Fabulous voice.
