The great maestro, Arturo Toscanini, upon hearing the powerful and expressive voice of Mario Lanza defined him as "the voice of the century". A star of stage and screen Mario Lanza had it all, and it's unlikely that any other RCA classical artist achieved the phenomenal sales of both his single and album releases.
A plethora of hits focusing on his more popular material including "The Loveliest Night Of the Year", "Because You're Mine" and "Be My Love" which blazed to #1 and remained on the Billboard charts for over seven months! Also included are popular classics such as: "The Hills Of Home", "And This Is My Beloved", "My Heart Stood Still" as well as many more!
With esteemed conductors and arrangements by Constantine Callinicos, Ray Sinatra, Henri René and Paul Baron. Plus accompaniment from the highly-skilled Jeff Alexandra Choir on the popular classic "Earthbound".
Mario Lanza was a passionate and extremely talented and was quoted saying: "I sing from the heart... I sing the words of the song and really feel them, from the top of my head to the tip of my toes... I sing as though my life depends on it, and if and if I ever stop doing that then I'll stop living."
