I know many opera singers, stars, but when I hear Mario Lanza, tears always run down my face - he is an all-embracing love, God the Father gave this man a voice to bring love to all generations.
The great Mario Lanza with this beautiful rendition of 'Come Prima'. As a kid (late 50's) this was my very first introduction to Mario Lanza, singing this particular song in this particular film, 'For The First Time'. All these decades later it's still a favorite.
I wish my sweet mom was still here with me .. I would show her this video . She loved listening to M. Lanza and watch his movies. I grew up with his music when I was a little kid . I so love this song. Dear Mom I send this video to you in Heaven ❤
Carissimo Mario or ora, anche con il bastone ti seguirei ovunque x assaporare e respirare da vicino la tua bellezza canora. Non ci resta, che che rinvigorire il nostro spirito grazie RU-vid ed ascoltarti con il Cuore partecipare a quella tua prorompente Giovialita'🙏💙🎶🦋
Come prima, come prima, I'm in love Come prima, come prima, I found love From the moment I saw you I was in rapture Every moment after that Ive lived in the clouds Come prima, come prima, I can thrill Come prima, I love you and always will Youre the first one, yes the the first one Youre my one-and-only one Come prima, come prima, Im in love For the first time, for the first time, Im in love For the first time, for the first time, I found happiness From the moment I saw you I was in rapture Every moment after that Ive lived in the clouds For the first time, yes the first time, I can thrill For the first time, I love you and always will Youre the first one, yes the the first one Youre my one-and-only one For the first time, for the first time, Im in love Come prima, come prima, I can thrill Come prima, I love you and always will Youre the first one, yes the the first one Youre my one-and-only one Come prima, for the first time, Im in love
Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but is it possible that rather than "I was in rapture" that the lyrics are "I was enraptured"? I'm fairly certain that is the lyric. Enraptured meaning to give intense pleasure or joy to.
... С этого фильма, с этого места в фильме, с этой песни началась моя любовь к Марио Ланца!!!! Как я теперь понимаю: много лет назад я не запомнила имя, но голос(!) покорил и не отпускает до сих пор, потому что он - на Века💯🕯️🎶🎶🎶👋👋👋👋👋👋
Мы все были влюблены в Марио! Помню, сбегали с уроков и шли в кино, чтобы слушать этот волшебный голос!!! А песню Влюбленный солдат, лучше Марио НИКТО не исполнял!!!!!
@@jelena4814... Согласна с Вами: и эта песня и многие другие, просто, "ждали" голоса Марио... Песню о солдате я слушала по радио в 10-летнем возрасте, не помню, чтобы я много чего понимала, а голос "запал" в душу... позднее была "Серенада большой любви" и не забываемая "Come Prima"... 👏👏👏🎶🌹🌹🌹
Lanza preparaba cada canción, cada aria muy concienzudamente. Era un perfeccionista y lo daba todo en escena. Su vox te llegaba a todos los sentidos porque trasmitía entrega a los demás, al público. Para mi fue el mas completo de la historia y después en otros estilos y voces destacan Alfredo Kraus, Pavarotti y Placido Domingo.
Марио Ланца в этой части фильма осчастливил всех статисток пением, прикосновением и взглядом, а взгляд у него - магический... как хорош он и в этом фильме тоже!!! 👍♥️🙏🙏🙏
How refreshing to hear Mario Lanza singing lower towards baritone without sounding operatic. Some operatic tenors still sound so even singing Happy Birthday.
Yo opino lo Mismo aunque reconozco que va en gustos. A mi me llena plenamente el color de su voz, su fuerza, su gusto y su perfeccionamiento en la ejecución previo ensayo muy trabajado y profesional. ¡Que pena que muriera tan joven!, con apenas 39 años y en lo mejor de su carrera.
HE WOULD HAVE SUNG WELL INTO HIS 70'S IF ONLY HE HAD THE CHANCE TO LIVE A NORMAL LENGTH OF LIFE! WHAT A TALENT! I'M NOW TRYING TO LEARN HIS VERSION OF GRANADA, IN SPANISH. MY FAVORITE SONG OF HIS!
Lanza era americano de Filadelfia e hijo de italianos. La version de Granada de Mario Lanza sin ser hispanohablante es la más espectacular jamas cantada. Es una canción que conozco bien y me encanta y la he escuchado por muchos tenores, el es el que mejor la interpreta a pesar de su pronunciación y con una fuerza maravillosa que te llega al alma. El propio compositor de Granada, el mexicano Agustin Lara estaba admirado de la fuerza de la interpretación de la misma por Lanza. Es una de las mas grandes canciones ligeras para tenor y todos los grandes acaban atreviéndose con ella.
I sang this song and everyone he sang with him from childhood! Mario was loved by all of my family! The very first singer any of us felt that way about! He was like part of the family!
The magic of the isle that seems neverending When night is descending Is there through the day No wonder in my heart there is so much confusion With all this illusion What else, what else can I say?
His voice and talent was magic .He stands out ,from the rest like other truly great performers.Fred Astaire , Liberaci,elvis , to name a few. They give so much pleasure when they perform but we can't explain why. Ian Kaye
Nagyon szépen,Átérezve a dal szépségét,énedkli ezt a népszerü olasz dalt. Mario Lanza.. Köszönöm annak , aki ezt az éneket hallhatová, és láthatová tette..
Come Prima A Beautiful Song By The Late Mario Lanza From The 1959 Film "For The First Time " Sadly "For The First Time " Was The Last Film For Mario Lanza Released In August Of 1959 Just 2 Months Before His Untimely Death On October 7th, 1959 At The Age of 38. I Await Your Answer. Anyway Thanks For Posting This Video.
Que bom que ele fez,se apresentou em vários filmes,pois morreu tão cedo, e deixou obras primas. Como a Carmen Miranda , se não tivesse ido para States ela não deixaria tantos filmes para vê-la nos filmes e palcos,mesmo que uma latina/brasileira tivesse sempre um papel de empregada nos filmes de Hollywood : Carmen nos filmes era sempre uma cantora hispano-americana, mas nas performances era ÚNICA, A PEQUENA FOI E SERÁ GRANDE, SEMPRE.....!!!!!
All rules have exceptions. Not many operatic singers can sing popular songs. Just as popular singers can’t sing opera. But Mario an operatic singer is the exception to this general rule.
There were many great operatic singers who sang very well popular Music. Mario was one but also Eileen Farrell Kiri Te Kanawa José Carreras Jerry Hadley Rise Stevens Paulo Szott Renee Fleming Kelli O Hara Nelson Eddy etc .The tecnique is the same but its the way you sing each song. Listen to Eileen Fareell singing Wagner and also a jazz duet with Louis Armstrong. Its the same singer with the same te níquel but she knew how to.use it in diferent ways as always did Mario Lanza. Of course popular singers cant sing opera and when they did were bad like Michael Bolton.But it was an excepcion when Frank Sinatra and Kathryn Grayson sang the La ci darem lá mano from Mozart opera Don Giovanni. Grayson sang opera on stage after her Hollywood years but Sinatra was a popular singer who had good vocal tecnique and could sing it well.
One wonders if a scientist-to-be watched the film, and then invented cochlear implants so more could hear Mario's glorious voice. He inspired so much in his short lifetime...who knows if he didn't inspire the above.
