2010 five CD box set from the vocal legend containing 100 of his finest performances. DMG 100.

Mario Lanzais an American / Italian tenor singer who rose to fame in the forties & fifties. Considered by many as the greatest voice of the twentieth century

That big, beautiful voice is heard in all its glory across these five classic albums: Sings the Hit Songs from The Student Prince and Other Great Musical Comedies, The Touch of Your Hand, Seven Hills of Rome, I'll Walk with God: Songs of Devotion and Love and Sings His Favorite Arias . He displays his legendary versatility as he tackles Deep in My Heart; Student Life; Just We Two; Beloved; I'll Walk with God; None but the Lonely Heart; Because , and more including the best of his classical repertoire!

"On these programs Lanza is warm, appealing, manly, charismatic and full of vitality. On some occasions his voice sounded coarse, thick and labored. But here it has a glow – the full voice rings, the mezza voce is sweet. When he sings you see that his tongue has a furrow down the middle, as advocated by many voice teachers." - STEFAN ZUCKER
