Lanza,Mario Classics CD

This CD brings together Lanza's most popular recordings on one disc. It also includes a representative sampling of the tenor at his vocal and stylistic zenith in multiple genres, with definitive renditions from an Edwardian parlour song ("Because") to five Neapolitan classics. As such, this CD serves as the perfect introduction to the art and voice of Mario Lanza.
