Mario Lanza - Yours Is My Heart Alone - Somewhere in Time

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ค. 2011
- Mario Lanza's voice, combined with photos of Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour from the movie "Somewhere in Time", combine to form a lovely musical and visual treat.
Mario Lanza sings "Yours is My Heart Alone" with incredible beauty and sensitivity. Long may his legacy live through his movies, his many recordings, videos on TH-cam and through other media outlets. His voice may never be equaled. Hedda Hopper, well-known gossip columnist, believed that "There had never been anyone like Mario, and I doubt whether we shall ever see his like again."
"Yours is My Heart Alone" ("Dein ist mein ganzes Herz") is a show tune from the operetta "The Land of Smiles" (Das Land des Lächelns - 1929). Franz Lehar wrote the music and the original German lyrics were written by Ludwig Herzer and Fritz Löhner. The English lyrics were written by Harry B. Smith.
The English lyrics are:
Yours is my heart alone
And without you life holds no charm
Yours, every thought I own
Our love the theme of every dream
Love that makes life seem worthwhile
Dwells in your eyes and the spell of your smile
There is no song half so sweet to me
As your voice whispering, "I love you, Dear"
When far away or near you
In dreams I see and hear you
And yielding to your fascination
I kneel to you in adoration dear, you alone
My queen shall reign and my heart you enchain
All day I sigh for you and I dream on the night
I live or die for you, my adored vision bright
The above song information was taken from: lyricsplayground.com/alpha/son...
The photographs of Mario Lanza were taken from the MGM movie "The Great Caruso". The movie is available for purchase from Turner Classic Movies.
The photographs of Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour were taken from the movie "Somewhere in Time". It was directed by Jeannot Szwarc. It is available from MCA Home Video. It is a lovely movie set in 1912 that truly tugs at your heart strings. - เพลง
First time I've heard it in English. The
is beautiful. I have sad memories of this song. When I was 15 years old, my parents made me go to work in a bakery. I had to become a baker, which I disliked at all. I always cried when I heard this song. (German version).
His voice is unique 😁
Magnificent
Truly the voice of the 20th century
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE GOD EVER CREATED
Absolutely !!! 👌
God sang through Mario Lanza. I feel the closeness of God when I listen to his renditions. RIP, I'm confident he's smiling down at us from his Heavenly throne......Sad fate befell Christopher Reeves. He's free now.
Betty,
Yes, Mario's beautiful voice does have that effect on us.
Thank you for your comment. May you continue to enjoy the videos which I create with Mario, the greatest voice of the 20th century.
Take Care,
Sandra
The greatest tenor of them all!
Roy,
You said it all in just a few words.
Thank you for your comment.

I have loved mario singing sice i was a 12 year old lad now i am 82 i have many of his songs on my favourites and often listen to them with emotion he was and will always be the best
You dont have to thank me!! i just said the truth!! im also opera singer im Soprano Lirico...but i never ever heard such a beautifull voice as Mario Lanza`s
Giorgio,
Mario did indeed have a magnificent voice. But he was more than that. He sang everything from the depths of his heart and touched our hearts. He was real, he laughed and kidded around, we felt a closeness to him, like a family member. He was no aloof, distant person. This was a person who delighted in removing soda pop bottle caps with his teeth, a loveable prankster and friend. What a wonderful person he was, along with his great voice.
God bless him. We lost him too early in life.
❤️🌟Just sitting and relaxed listening to some off the most romantic songs ever composed.
Mario Lanza had just the tenor voice to sung these beautiful songs🌟❤️🦢
Bellisima voz y sublime interpretación.
This was my uncle's favorite song in the operetta. His ancestors came from Austria, and settled in PA. Mario, was the so much better then Caruso, though he was Mario's idol at the time. So in the 19th century we had Mario, in the 20th we had Pavarotti. Since then, there has been no one else who's voices have reached high C's, without breaking. With Mario Lanza, you could understand every word he spoke in song. I came to this channel to hear these great tenors. Outside my walls is murder, strife, violence of every sort, riots, injustice, corruption and greed. Inside is peace and quiet.
Phenomenal singer!
Lanza's interpretation of "Vesti la Giubba" Is the Utimate.You can literally hear his heart disintergrating ~~~ No other Tenor has ever come close.
DIOS, NADIE HA CANTADO COMO ESTE SENOR , GRACIAS POR QUE LO CREASTE PARA NOSOTROS.
Thank you for your comment.
Mario was truly amazing and magnificent. Wonderful voice, wonderful person.
Nostalgia tanta nostalgia immersa in poesia pura romanticismo elegantemente donata da una voce..... Grande grande artista.... 💔😍🙏🌹🌹
O MY GOD WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE THE CHILLS ARE UP AND DOWN MY
SPINE.
Марио Ланца ГЕНИАЛЬНЫЙ ОПЕРНЫЙ ДРАМАТИЧЕСКИЙ ТЕНОР! СВЕТЛАЯ ПАМЯТЬ ГЕНИЮ БЕЛЬКАНТО!!! С уважением, Валерий Романов.
Love listening to Mario Lanza since childhood. He was my Dad's favorite and I still have his vinyl records in my collection.
never ending pleasure for the last 65 years the first record i bought when i was 15 years old now i am old it still enchants me
Thank you, Mario. Para sa Diyos.
Gigi,
Mario belongs to all our hearts. Men, not only women, love Mario's beautiful voice. My channel diagnostics show that men make up a slightly larger percentage of my Mario Lanza Channel viewers than women. Such diverse famous singers as from Placido Domingo to Elvis Presley have greatly admired his incredible voice. He surely belongs to everyone and to the ages. May God rest his soul. He is greatly missed.
Thank you for your comment,
Sandra
Vanessa,
I am an opera lover and have heard a number of the great tenors in person on stage and also via recordings, but none touches my heart the way Mario does. He not only has an extremely beautiful voice, he makes you feel the meaning of the song lyrics. They mean something to him. Truly, he stands alone among other well-known tenors.
Best of good fortune to you with your career, you must have a very beautiful voice.
Kindest Regards
Mario Lanza & Enrico Caruso two of the very best Tenor Singers Ever ! now singing together forever in Heaven above. just think what those two sound like there.. Perfecto !
Merci de nous faire partager cette interprétation que je découvre !
Qui mieux que LANZA, peut: avec émotion, allégresse, diction, et une voix alternant le cristal, le velours ,l'or et l'argent chanter l'amour ? Guy CREQUIE
Fabulous 💖 what a beautiful 💓 Voice dad was so right wish he was here to listen 👂 with me ,hope he is listening 🎧 in heaven ,this is for you my lovely dad miss you so much , Shirley h Darlington England 🌹😘😘😘
Beautiful !!! Dein ist mein ganzes herz.
The most beautiful love song ever written. No one could sing it like Lanza!
I heartily agree, he had a portentous, marvelous, amazing tenor voice. He was also a good movie actor. Too many actors nowadays show no feeling for what their lines call for. Mario put his heart into the song lyrics he sang and also the lines he spoke in his movies. All that and he was a very good looking man too.
Thank you for your comment.
. Mario lanza's voice is so very romantic.....I know his song from the time 7 years old was one of my grandfather's favorite singer
최고의 드라마틱테너 👍
Incredible...Mario is miracle.... absolutely amazing...i have no words to describe him!!!
:( and now he singss in heaven for Angels...and he is an Angel to!!!
Astounding and perfection
All others are pushed to the shade
The voice of the 20th century
The greatest singer of the 20th century
Perhaps, of all time... I can think of no one who could top him.
Yes, you are correct, Mario was absolutely amazing.
Oh! Listening to Mario Lanza I swear my heart does a rapid beat from excitement and my day just floats along on a cloud. I am positive anyone who is feeling down will certainly
Feel on top of the world if they listen to Mario Lanza.
Mario grande voce su tutti i punti di vista sempre piacevole ascoltarlo unico!!!
As a tenor I was Inspired by Mario, such a fabulous voice. I sing all his popular songs and realise how everybody loved him and loved his songs. As the radio rarely plays his songs I like to think when I sing I keep his memory alive.
Hi David, i to am a tenor, and have been singing marios songs no for over 40 years. i have been a member of the mario lanza institute, in philadelphia, and the new york society of mario lanza. mario lanzas son damon, was my very good friend, sadly he passed away many years ago. marios health trainer, in los angeles, was my very best friend. if you want to know anything about mario, go on the internet, and put in, ask terry robinson. all the best to you. Louie Vaccaro, tenor Las Vegas.
@@louisvaccaro5865 Hi Louis, lovely to hear from you, Mario Lanza, what can we say, what a fabulous voice, was the inspiration for so many of todays tenors including me. I've sung in many hotels and holiday parks and always used to sing the 'Drinking Song' as a finale. Of course, I have all his records and play them regularly. I sing light tenor so do not sing opera but so many of his songs were standard 'love songs' which are easy to sing and easy to listen to. 'Because Your Mine' is a favourite and I remember singing it during a thunderstorm, the words 'that isn't thunder dear, it's only my poor heart you hear' were accompanied by a quiet peal of thunder. I loved soaring up to the top note at the very end. Wonderful music. I have applied to sing on British tv a talent show called The Voice and I shall sing 'You Are My Hearts Delight' another great favourite. I'm now 85 but in excellent health, I'm sure the singing keeps me fit. I shall be playing and singing one of Mario,s songs on the way to the audition for inspiration. Thank you so much for your very welcome text and I wish you every luck and happy singing.
@@davidwhite1585 Thanks david for your reply, im 78yrs old in perfect pitch. in 2012, i went up on americas got talent in san francisco, and received an award, i sang the song if ever i would leave you, the broadway edition, from camelot by robert goulet., and when i lived in seattle, wa with my wife, i put on concerts there. my sister in law came from kent england, my brother and her retired there many years ago, in maidstone, im sure you know where that is. im a member of the mario lanza institute in philadelphia, for more than 30 years. all the best to you in life. Louie Vaccaro tenor, las vegas.
@@louisvaccaro5865 Okay Louis I'll let you know how I get on with the talent show called 'The Voice' if I get past the auditions, lol. Unfortunately good music is not in vogue at the moment; if you can play a couple of chords on a noisy electric guitar you are in but they may find my age a novelty so we shall see. I'll let you go and wish you all you wish yourself. It's lovely talking to you, thanks and good bye.
FENOMENAL!!! EMOCIONANTE DE PRINCIPIO A FIN!!! HACE VIBRAR NUESTROS CORAZONES... MAKES VIBRATE OUR HEARTS!!!
without you life has no joy
yes what beautiful lines it makes me smile and feel so deeply blessed for the power od hearing.do u ever thank god foe the gift of hearing

Thank you so much for this magnificent music. Mario Lanza was God’s Gift to us for a precious moment in time.
Amazing LANZA!!! MAGNIFICIENT !!!
Mario Lanza kann man immer wieder singen hören,seine Stimme i
Absolutely beautiful pairing of this song & scenes from this movie - they were made for each other. Wish they had used this song in the movie - it goes so well with the theme. Thank you for all the time/effort you put into the beautiful songs/videos of Mario Lanza! His was THE VOICE, there will never be another. We're so lucky to be able to find so many songs we would never have heard had it not been for TH-cam and people like you taking their precious time to give them to us! Thank you!
I am so glad you enjoyed the song johns begaud

My favourites
With a Song in my
Heart. 💙

Beloved 💙
Just Fabulous.
Hope he is watching down and smileing.
💋 💋 💋
Beautiful and timeless. Thank you.
This music is a direct take from Franz Lehar's great musical masterpiece Dien Ist Mein Ganzes Herz. Check out this Herz (heart) with the trio that includes Domingo, Netrebo and Villazon for a truly fantastic rendition of this. It TRULY comes from their heart! Dien Ist Mein Ganzes Herz!!!
Robert Centobene , no.
Mario Lanza had the passion, the voice, and the looks to make operatic tenor popular on radio and record, and in Hollywood movies. And he was American - - -
Donylo,
Thank you for your wonderful comment. You said it all. We may never see his like again.
May he rest in peace, he is greatly missed.
Kind Regards,
Sandra
Yours is the voice, alone. All that makes life seem worthwhile.
Mario lanza was the king of tenors no one will ever come close to his voice and the 7 who gave him a thumbs down you have no taste of good music I guess you 7 can sing better than him I really don't think so thank you Mario lanza for giving this world beautiful music with your beautiful voice your my number one tenor forever

Buddy Trabucco
Buddy all three tenors said at one time that they owed there careers to mario lanza, they use to watch his movies, and was inspired by him, without a doubt, the greatest tenor that ever lived,no equal, member mario lanza institute, best friends with his son damon, also marios health trainer terry robinson. regards Louie Vaccaro, las vegas,nv.

I grew up listening to Mario Lanza records in the late 50's and very early 60's - he was my father's favorite tenor. He bought quite a few of Mario's LP Hi Fi albums on vinyl of course and played them all the time. I still have most of those LP's. My dad was also a pretty dang good natural tenor himself and singing was his pastime. He sang this one quite often as well as Vesti la Giubba and others. This one brings me back to that time. Thanks for posting this on TH-cam.
Le foto sono belle perche 'lui era bello,con un viso quasi perfetto, occhi grandi ed espressivi,naso ben disegnato e bocca morbida e sempre sorridente.persino le orecchie ed i capelli,folti e ricci e poi quella particolare fossetta sul mento...Quando poi apriva la bocca x cantare con quella voce...chi poteva resistere.!❤❤❤
@mattsmith45121
Mario's singing is so beautiful and so filled with true feeling that it touches the hearts of everyone. He sang opera, pop, Broadway show tunes, and religious songs. Thank goodness for his recordings, his own and others TV show appearances, his films and now TH-cam to share his great voice with those of us who remember him while he lived and those of us who are too young to remember him.
Mario Lanza is marvelous especially with this music, but had no idea Christopher Reeve was in this! amazing...
Edward Charles Hanna Christopher Reeve was not just a very handsome man, he was an excellent actor as well. Just as actors of the silent screen era used their eyes and body movements to translate their inner feelings to their audience, so did Mr. Reeve. Not many actors have mastered this art. But, he certainly did. May Mario and Mr. Reeve rest in peace, they are greatly missed. Kind Regards, Sandra
My mum used to watch him when I was little
So I watch him I love is voice .I've listened to him on u tube.a great man a great voice.
Kathleen,
Thank you for your lovely comment.
I could not have said it better.
Kind Regards,
Sandra
I decided to listen to Mario today. Over the years I always listened to him. I even have a two CD pact of him. Not only was he able to sing opera but he was also able to sing these beautiful songs. Yes, he was taken too early from us. I heard that he ate himself to death. He gained a lot of weight and unfortunately that caused him to die at an early age. Pavrotti did the same thing. He ate himself to death. But Pavrotti mainly sang opera. Now weonly have their recordings to listen to. And such beautiful recordings they are.
Que maravilla .No me canso de oirle .
Just glorious as only Mario Lanza sings this timeless song. Only he can reach your heart with his incomparable voice & emotion. Grateful thanks, Sandy. Rose

I am pleased that you like my video. Thank you for your kind comment.
I'm sorry for the delay in replying to you. I just found out how to use the new TH-cam apparatus. I am 70 years old and I am not very computer savvy. Please pardon the great delay.
Kind Regards,

You're very welcome, Sandra. It is my pleasure to view & listen to the "beauty" of Mario Lanza's voice & the clips from the movie. I can relate to your computer savvy comment, as they can be quite challenging for our generation. Your pardon is graciously accepted.
Warmest regards, Rose
for me he's the best tenor voice of all time .
Simply amazing!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for this beautiful video.
How so very romantic song and I love his beautiful voice so much.
My all time favorite singer, from boyhood till now.
Nr. 1 !!!
Mario Lanza....... the voice I grew up with - thanks to my Dad. Whenever I hear him, I just have to stop whatever I'm doing and let that beautiful voice soak in. Thank you for posting, especially with these pictures from one of my all time favourite films.
Kay,
Thank you very much for your wonderful comment about my video. What a pleasure that it brings you so many wonderful memories.
Kind Regards,

I echo your remarks exactly! I have loved listening to Mario Lanza since the first time I heard his voice on my dad's HiFi back in the early 1950s when I was just a young lad.
Dennis,
Thank you so much, Dennis, your comment has said it all!
Mario was and remains the best.
Thank you again.

Espetacular!
Beautiful , brings memory's flooding back of my late father, thanks for sharing
+Colin Harper-Summerson
Colin,
Yes, Mario's beautiful voice brings back wonderful memories of our parents and others who were alive at the time when Mario's voice flooded the T .V., movies and records. I remember my family sitting around the T.V. and watching and listening to Mario sing. Those were the days. They bring back such sweet memories to me too. I am 71, but my memories of that time are as clear as if they happened yesterday.
Thank you for your kind comment. May you continue to enjoy my Mario videos.
Kind Regards,
Sandra
So very beautiful Mario Lanza has such an awesome voice thanks for sharing.
In a class of his own~~~
my dad sang this song to my mother I love Mario Lanza he had one best voice and good looking to boot.
There comes a time when this amazing ever music may lose its burnuning flame towards concret people ...
Great choice of a sequence of still pictures along with the Great Mario singing a very romantic song.
Steve,
I am very pleased that you like my combination of my choice of pictures with Mario's beautiful voice.
Kind Regards,
Sandra
I cannot think of any world s in the English language that can describe this mans voice but I will try and just say "Magic!"
One of my favorite movies with one of my favorite tenors. A perfect combination. Thanks for an enjoyable 4 minutes.
Everyone has express so well the greatest of this singer and of the way he sings this marvelous song, I can't think of anything else but to say, WOW ABSOLUTELY amazing !
absolutely wonderful
Mario Lanza war ein von Gott begnadigter Sänger so eine grossartige Stimme wird es niemals wieder geben schade das Mario Lanza schon so früh sterben musste es ist für mich sehr traurig ich denke immer noch heute an Mario Lanza zurück an diesen grossartigen Sänger der Film im Kino der grosse Caruso in dem Film kämmen mir die Tränen in den Augen so ergriffen war ich von diesen Film ich war damals gerade 7 Jahre alt und noch ein kleines Mädchen und ich war total fasziniert von diesen Film im Kino.
A Piece of art. The voice just fabulous.As I said already Lanza could be a alien the problem is no alien can sing like him.
Luis,
Thank you for your kind comment. Interesting that you should mention that it is "A Piece of art". I actually am an artist. I love painting historical American portraits and landscapes. You are correct in saying that no alien could sing like him. I totally agree.
May you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Kind Regards,
Sandra
Maybe the aliens sing better. Plenty of opera singers do.

Chaque a son gout - or- Digustibus non disputandem est. In other words, "Each to his own taste".
Strange isn't it that so many famous opera singers think just the opposite of your opinion.
Check it out,
Sandra
Caro e grande Mario R.I.P.
I heard Placido Domingo once express his great admiration for Lanza's voice and style. He ought to qualify as a good judge.
Thank you so much for your comment.
His voice is so beautiful, it is timeless. The appreciation and thrill we felt when we first heard his voice so many years ago is the same we feel today. That is the standard by which we can evaluate true beauty, it is timeless.
The one of the best songs by the best singer with very nice visual treat.
Thank you for sharing.
Перефразируя слова этого замечательного произведения Франца Легара.можно с уверенностью сказать, что Марио Ланца будет вечно "царствовать в сердцах всех, кто хоть раз слышал этот божественный голос!"
+Ирина Малафеева
Irina,
In English, you wrote, "To paraphrase the words of this remarkable work of Franz Legara.I can confidently say that Mario Lanza will be forever "reign in the hearts of all, who has ever heard the voice of the divine!"
Very well said. I have nothing more to add, you have said it all!
Kindest Regards,
Sandra
Thanks for making us share this interpretation which I discover!
Who better than LANZA, can: with emotion, joy, diction, and a voice alternating the crystal, velvet, gold and the money to sing the love? Guy CREQUIE
Dein ist mein ganzes herz. Mario lanza's voice is so very romantic

Pass me some salts.... I'm passing out....this is just sooo gorgeous....THANK YOU for posting yet another magical share with Mario Lanza. A real gem.

Un ídolo para mí, desde que yo hera un niño.
This is one of my favorite songs from German operetta--The Land of Smiles. Beautiful singing, as usual! It puts me on "cloud Nine"!
+Phyllis Ramsey
Phyllis,
Have you listened to Fritz Wunderlich sing the original German version, "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz"? SEMPRE L' OPERA VIVA uploaded this song at th-cam.com/video/91xlNWJOFw0/w-d-xo.html. Take a listen. Do you hear a similarity between Mario's emotional delivery and that of Wunderlich's? Both excellent tenors, both giving a deeply emotional delivery. I say Bravo to them both. We need more singers with such wonderful delivery.
Thank you for your comment.
Kindest Regards,
Sandra
Wo du nicht bist...kann ich nicht sein....dein ist mein schoenstes lied. I am Austrian , and this songs always brings me to tears. I wish the words could have remained true in the translation.
Thank you, I am very happy that you like this video. The movie, Somewhere in Time, is one of my favorites. Christopher Reeve was just excellent in this role as was Jane Seymour. And, of course, Mario's incredibly beautiful voice makes it spectacular.
Thank you again, so glad you liked it.
no one does it any better!!!
Thank you for your comment, Vanessa.
I agree with you, Mario was certainly one of a kind. I’m sure that he is looking down and smiling at you for your wonderful comment.
He is greatly missed. Thank goodness for his wonderful recordings and movies for future generations to enjoy.
My kindest regards to you, thank you again.
Your love dwells my heart😘 Anita👫
I had never listened to Mario until nearly three years ago. Going through my Grandma's collection I can across some of Marios work. Some of them were so old that we could not play them as they were 78s and we did not have a player for them. This voice is so perfect I find it a spice of great envy. Thanks for uploading
Andrew,
What a wonderful discovery for you. Thank goodness for Mario's records and movies which keep his beautiful voice alive for us. Just a hint to other singers who wish to sing like him. Voice perfection is an important thing, singing from your heart is as or even more important to the listener. There are a goodly number of singers who rely on vocal perfection alone, but very few who sing from their hearts to touch ours. I am not only a Mario Lanza fan, but an Elvis Presley fan as well. Have you ever heard him sing gospel songs? They were his mom's favorite and his own. It shows truly in the deep feeling he shares with us when he sings them. My favorite that he sings is "Take My Hand Precious Lord". It always beings me to tears. Keep listening to Mario, his voice will show the way for you.
Kindest Regards,
Sandra
I love Elvis Presley Gospel songs.😍
