| Publisher Description: Mario Lanza was one of the greatest talents of the twentieth century. He proved to be an extraordinary tenor and one of the most beloved singers of all time. He influenced scores of artists including Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo. This book is an introduction to Lanza. It includes numerous photos and images from his amazing years on the world's stage. It is a series of "affectionate" essays that portray his qualities and lead us to want to hear his magnificent voice and see him on the silver screen. It is prepared as a dual language publication in English and Italian by an author who has spent decades studying "grand voices" and continues to compare them to this "kid from Philadelphia." Readers will find the heart and soul of Mario Lanza in these articles and will know him as a person, a star and a performer beyond all comparison. |
