Music reviews of Original Album Classics (Box)

Music Review: ARRIVEDERCI LANZA
Rating: 5 Stars

This reissue comprises the contents of five RCA Victor LPs (four of them Red Seal) which first came out in 1954 (The Student Prince), 1955 (The Touch of Your Hand), 1958 (Seven Hills of Rome), and posthumously in 1962 (I'll Walk with God), and 1967 (His Favourite Arias). Sony have respected that format by producing five CDs, each housed in a smaller card facsimile of the original record sleeve, thereby maintaining the integrity of the originals.

The first CD presents the score of Sigmund Romberg's operetta as heard in the MGM film, for which Lanza dubbed the songs to Edmund Purdom's screen presence. He's joined in the two duets by soprano Elisabeth Doubleday, and the CD is completed by six songs from other light musicals, all accompanied by Constantine Callinicos.

In "The Touch of Your Hand" Lanza is accompanied by the orchestra of Ray Sinatra in a varied programme which includes popular songs from films and shows, and romantic ballads. I have a slight reservation that his voice is too powerful to convey the tenderness inherent in such lyrics as "Love is the Sweetest Thing".

The original film soundtrack from "Seven Hills of Rome" is rounded out by half-a-dozen popular songs, three accompanied by Henri René, and two by Ray Heindorf.

"I'll Walk with God" is subtitled Songs of Devotion and Love; orchestral accompaniments are provided in the main by Constantine Collinicos, plus four by Ray Sinatra, and the presence of Harpo Marx is noted in "Guardian Angels".

The twelve tracks for "His Favourite Arias" were taken from tapes of his 1951 and 1952 appearances on radio's "Coca Cola Hour", but the accompaniment is unspecified.

Mario Lanza was a huge star with a thrilling voice, which is beautifully recaptured in these performances. I cannot praise this release too highly, it is truly magnificent.
