Our Take

Ah, Christmas. That magical time of year when Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" starts playing on repeat, and we all pretend to enjoy Michael Bublé's crooning. But fear not, dear readers, for I have stumbled upon a Christmas album that is truly a gem in the sea of holiday musical mediocrity.

Mario Lanza's "Christmas Classics" is a festive delight from start to finish. The legendary tenor's powerful voice effortlessly soars through timeless holiday favourites, injecting new life into classic carols like "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria." Lanza's operatic training is on full display here, with each note hitting like a beautifully wrapped present under the tree.

But it's not just Lanza's impeccable vocal prowess that makes this album a standout. The orchestral arrangements are lush and grand, sweeping you off your feet and transporting you to a winter wonderland of twinkling lights and crackling fires. Tracks like "Deck the Halls" and "Silent Night" are given a majestic makeover that will leave you reaching for the mulled wine and mince pies.

So, as you deck the halls and roast chestnuts on an open fire this holiday season, do yourself a favour and crank up Mario Lanza's "Christmas Classics." It's a gift that keeps on giving, bringing joy and cheer to even the scroogiest of listeners. Trust me, you'll be singing along in no time. Cheers to a holly, jolly Christmas indeed.

About the artist

Mario Lanza

Mario Lanza: The Golden Voice of Opera With a voice like a symphony of angels and a personality to match, Mario Lanza is the embodiment of old-school Hollywood glamour and operatic excellence. Born Alfred Arnold Cocozza in Philadelphia in 1921, Lanza's journey to stardom was anything but conventional. After being discovered singing in a church choir, Lanza's talent was quickly recognized, leading him to study opera at the prestigious Tanglewood Music Center. But it wasn't until he landed a role in the groundbreaking film "The Great Caruso" that Lanza truly cemented his status as a musical legend. Lanza's powerful tenor voice captivated audiences around the world, earning him a legion of devoted fans and the admiration of music critics everywhere. His renditions of classic opera arias such as "Nessun Dorma" and "O Sole Mio" are nothing short of breathtaking, showcasing his unparalleled vocal range and emotional depth. But Lanza was more than just a talented singer - he was also a larger-than-life personality with a penchant for mischief and a devilish sense of humour. His legendary charisma and charm endeared him to all who knew him, and his magnetic stage presence made him a true star in every sense of the word. Sadly, Lanza's career was tragically cut short at the young age of 38, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians and music lovers alike. But his music lives on, a testament to the timeless beauty and power of the operatic tradition. Mario Lanza may be gone, but his voice will echo through the ages, forever immortalized as the golden voice of opera.
