The sextet from Donizetti's 'Lucia di Lammermoor' film clip from THE GREAT CARUSO Mario Lanza, Blanche Thebom, Dorothy Kirsten, Nicolo Moscona & Gilbert Russell. HD 60fps Digital stereo soundtrack.
Great scene, everything, everyone zooming in on an excited and expectant Mario-Enrico... I remember the day when I first discovered (being still a teenager and not a native English speaker) that ML was actually singing „a girl“ and „yes, a girl“... It‘s not to be heard here, but it‘s in the movie - and you can see him utter the words when you pay attention... 💖⭐️💖 Thank you for sharing this musical, vocal, and scenical delight! 🙏🍀 I definitely must watch this movie again...!!!
I watched this movie again - and I realized he was the best tenor of all times - his ease of singing is unparalleled - no other tenor ever since got even close - too bad he died so young - I can watch him sing all day long -perfect!
@@googlefan8990 Thank you for your kind and inspiring answer! It‘s always a great experience to not only hear Mario Lanza sing, but also watch him on screen! He wasn‘t the greatest of actors in front of a studio camera, but he was so spot on, fully there, grew beyond himself, when acting and singing came together! Like a real stage animal. The stage should have been his world. Through his movies we get at least tiny glimpses of what could have been... and I‘ll never stop loving and re-watching Lanza‘s movies... ⭐️
@@googlefan8990 I will! And please do the same! Btw, you are absolutely right: He was underrated and underestimated by many... All the best, take care! 🍀🍀🍀
Not sure if everyone quite sounds in time there. However, maybe that's just me. Lanza was my mother's idol, and I think he had a great voice. I know De Stefano thought of him as a great tenor. Unfortunately he was not destined for a life in opera.I appreciate his voice, and his recording of E Lucevan le Stelle is one of the best I've heard.
Yeh, the timing was a lil' odd, and "Hollywoodafied" and considering they were miked the sound balance seemed muffled. But it was a lovely listen. I will check out "E Lucevan le Stelle" by Mr. Lanza. Thanks for the tip.
@@chocolatesouljah I recently watched again all his videos and movies - really think he was the very best tenor ever - if you doubt that, please listen and compare all the others singing the Radames aria in Aida and the Flower song in Carmen - nobody comes even close to his performance!!!! Bravo Mario - he passed away too soon and will be sorely missed!!!!!
If you know opera, this is prime comedy. Everyone is happy, but the scene they are signing is supposed to be extremely tragic. The girl is supposed to be depressed and Mario Lanzxa is playing someone heartbroken. So imagine them in character. And if you understand Italian it makes it doubly funny.

why oh why do they do these things, this is not good the voice is not strong bordering on weak in the piece, if you want to hear how this should be sung listen to a recording by Galli-Curci and Caruso (not a great fan of Caruso but this recording is special), you might also like to listen to the Bergonzi Scotto recording it is near perfection, and also listen to any of the recordings on RU-vid featuring Pavarotti total perfection again, we all have our own views on certain artists and pieces but any of the ones mentioned would put the Lanza to shame, cheers.
