Mario was given his voice from God. It is given once in a lifetime and there will never be another. He had a magic when he sang the color was magnificent and the range was gorgeous. He left us beautiful recordings and movies. He played his idol Caruso. God took him too soon but will always be able to hear him in our hearts. I know he is singing up in heaven. When I get there I will be able to tell him how much I have missed him. God bless him!!!
This was Lanza at his best. No recording studio tricks/enhancements, just his voice and a piano accompaniment.
I haven’t heard Mario so perfect in delivery and musicality and perfection quality. Hurray
My God, what a voice!!!!!!!!
I had the privilege of being there no amp no mike just the power of Mario's voice. Am 82 an still love him to bits!!!
You did?? Oh my goodness, that's so amazing X
You are so lucky.🎶🎵
BEATO TE io ho 84 ma non avevo allora i soldi per poter andare da Roma 😩
I wish I was with you on that night. You are lucky my friend to have heard him live.
@@rosannarisi622he was in London, England Royal Albert Hall
Amazing!!! Breathtaking!!!❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
I saw this live in January 1957 at the Newcastle City Hall and then again in March 1957 - the same concert, and Mario Lanza was magnificent. No amplifiers or microphones - a pianist and his voice. Never to be forgotten. I have never heard a better voice since then and I have heard so many tenors, and some great ones like Pavarotti - I saw him live, too but Mario Lanza was simply a one-off in every way.
1957? You mean 1958?
I so envy you for having the pleasure of seeing this artist live. I wish I could have been at one of his concerts.
Lucky you
It's strange my father who had a very good ear initially liked him but then didn't I can't explain why. I like Carreras version of this aria
You were extremely lucky.😢
Absolutely incredible. Stupendous singing.
Can you imagine listening to that voice live incredible
been listening to Lanza for a long time, but never realized he performed this aria until I stumbled upon this video - wow, wow, wow - absolute perfection
So glad you enjoyed. It is quite a stunning performance. And this was his opening number. I agree, Wow!
One of the finest voices ever to be heard.
I'd say the very finest voice ever.
FRED THE FINEST VOICE. A GIFT FROM GOD. THANK YOU
Bravo!
AMAZING!!!! JUST WOW. Shear emotion, power, beauty, and voice. If you aren't going to sing from the heart, I don't care how beautiful your voice is, how powerful, what range you have...do me a favor....just stay home. He had it ALL. First, must come the heart. If you don't have the heart, how can you get anyone else to FEEL the music???
Ore Baso, it could not be put any better. And it is exactly what you said about, "First, must come the heart." That is it! Yes, Mario has a beautiful voice. A naturally beautiful and special voice. But as you say, to have a beautiful voice, a powerful voice is fine. Indeed, one may make a decent living singing. Lanza had a voice of both beauty and power. Great beauty and magnificent power. However, it is what Mario coupled those two God given talents to: It was his heart. It was his heart, his mind, his soul, his all. It was this, almost unearthly, gift that set Mario apart. He lived his music. It inhabited him. And as his audience, his friends he is asking us in. Into the magical world that is Mario Lanza.
@@TonyPartington Tony, thank you for the kind remarks. I could never be Mario. All we can do is be us and be the best we can be: th-cam.com/video/osaJwmck5a0/w-d-xo.html
No wonder they hired him to play "The Great Caruso."
Grande Mario Lanza l love him, one of the greatest 😘 inolvidable ( unforgettable)
I commented recently about this wonderful recording but am compelled to say again Lanza was one of THE most incredible natural voices ever plus at this concert had no microphone (who does that anymore?) a huge cultured operatic audience like Joan Sutherland in the audience + piano only.. talk about pressure.. but his bombastic voice shook the rafters!..."Magic Mario"... yes there was only one
Total agreement.
I dont know anything about vocal technique I only know the beauty of this reaches into your chest and touches your soul and the tears come.
They say this might be the most accurate recording of Mario's true voice. If this is true, all other tenors should have looked for other work. This is beyond belief. Mario...OMG !
Hi John! I'm so glad you enjoyed this recording. Lanza was in fine form on this night.
very true. all are jealous of is voice. all the stuff that he had a small voice is total rubbish. Placido Domingo said the same . everyone were jealous
Quando si canta con il cuore, non si tramontera' mai. Meraviglioso come sempre!!!!!!!!
"Every word I sing, I live it, right?? In other words, each word is important, I sing each word, as if it was my last on Earth." This beautiful concert, thank you so much for the photos and Tosca....appreciate it so much.
Wish there had been a video of this, or more photos of the concert. Appreciate what has been placed for us to enjoy.
Magnificent. Nothing more need be said.
Cea mai frumoasa si emotionanta voce de tenor din toate timpurile ! Dumnezeu sa-i binecuvanteze sufletul !
All I can say is, "you're right."
Una voce eccezionale,per sempre,eterna !!❤
Sempre Maestro eccezionale....Bravo! Rosa Larsen
Von allen der beste tenor der wellt ,einmalig . 5:47 👍 5:47

maestro!!! Che capo lavoro :)
0:37 I love the fact that the recording caught Lanza humming for a second as he catches the pitch of the music as Callinicos plays. It’s such an endearingly personal moment. What more can be said about the magnificent sound that Lanza produced? When I was 14 in 1969, I saved my weekly allowance and ordered a multi LP Lanza collection that Readers Digest was offering. My aunt had a better stereo than our family; one of those large Magnavox stereo cabinets with the turntable and AM/FM radio. I chose to hear “Vesti la Giubba” played first. The sound of his voice was astonishing. I had heard the voice from most of his films, but only through small television speakers. His films would sometimes be shown locally on Sat. afternoons. My mom and aunt, both born in the early 1920s, were great admirers of Mario Lanza, as I have been for almost 60 years. Thank you for posting Lanza’s beautiful rendition of the Lamento. Cheers
Thanks so very much for the kind words regarding this performance. This, to my mind, is one of very greatest performances of this beautiful aria. You're right, it's a lovely moment when Mario hums before his entrance. This recording of this entire concert is precious to me. I had the great good fortune to study for several years with Maestro Constantine Callinicos. It was like stepping back in time. I heard some wonderful stories: Of his work with Mario (which was extensive), as well his friendship with him. Anyway, it was a fond period in my career. Ciao! - Tony
@@TonyPartington wow so.really were a student of the maestro?? What stories about mario did he tell you?
Hi Arturo! Yes, I studied with Maestro Constantine Callinicos from 1977-1981 while I was living and singing in NYC. Stories? Oh so many. Maestro and I became friends and often after a coaching session he would ask me to stay afterwards and have some Scotch and Taramosalata (Greek caviar spread). I cherish those days and that time in the world when all of life seemed simpler and kinder. I had asked, after we had been working for a few months, if he would help me with my solfeggio (sight singing). It was okay, but I thought the Maestro could help me improve. He told me one day, when we were working on a particularly hard sight singing exercise he had given me, "Tony, I know you love Mario but I have to tell you, he hated to work on improving his sight singing. If you wanted to say a truly foul word to Mario, just say solfeggio." On a serious note though, Constantine told me many times over the years how the brilliance, power and beauty of Lanza's voice was impossible to truly capture on record. He told me, "Mario simply had the greatest voice I have ever heard." And I believe and believe him. Ciao!
I love your comment about the humming at the start of the Aria because when I was 18 in 198 I mentioned to a 50 year old Opera lover that the sound recordist hummed before he sang. He said no it was Mario as he was on the front row of the hall at the concert. He said even his hum could be heard very clearly.
Impagable ésta magnifica grabación.
Es un lujo escucharla,muchas gracias por su generosidad al 4:12 compartirla.
The Perfect MARIO LANZA As Always Just Incredible
Hi John. So glad you enjoyed this. Mario's accompanist for this recital was Maestro Constantine Callinicos. I had the great good fortune of studying with Maestro Callinicos for four years while I lived and sang in New York City. He was a wonderful man and very kind to me as a young singer. We spoke of Mario often. He told me about this concert and how initially, Mario had be rather taken aback by the size of the venue and audience. The had several hundred people seated onstage behind Mario and Costa. I'm not sure of the exact total of people there that night of January 16, 1958, but I believe the general audience capacity for Royal Albert Hall is around 8000. Anyway, I am so glad we have this recording as a testament to what a brilliant and magnificent voice Mario had. Ciao!
@@TonyPartington Thank You So Much For This Wonderful Answer Greatings From Belgium
@@TonyPartington Yes a good post here from you Tony.
How many of today's tenors would have the balls to open with this? None, that's how many. Bravo Mario, as always X
I tend to agree with you. A Brilliant voice was lost too soon in 1959.
@@petergroverd6626 Absolutely, my friend X
Could’ve been top 5 tenor of all time if hollywood didn’t get to him first. nothing like it.
lol..what does hollywood have to do with his voice?
many think him the greatest ...let alone top 5...stop showing your lack of understanding
@@jadezee6316 you want to compare him to veterans of the operatic stage who devoted their life to singing live on stages across the globe? Lanza left great recordings but he did hollywood voice overs and lip synced in front of a camera. if you genuinely put him up there with other tenors who walked the path, i fear you’re the one with the lack of understanding here.
@@AlainArvelo He laid it onthe line with his concerts and nobody who ever lived has ever done it better. You do lack understnding.
Too right you are on that one.
Che meraviglia
Sein Gesang macht etwas mit meiner Seele. Glückseeligkeit für einen Moment. Danke
Considering that these were amongst his earliest public performances in front of a live audience for almost 10 years and that he was not even singing on a regular basis this is nothing short of remarkable.
Thanks Simon for your comment. In many ways it really was amazing that Mario's voice was in the very good shape it was. I had the great good fortune of studying with Maestro Constantine Callinicos back in the mid to late 70s. We spoke of Mario often and he told me he still considered Mario's the greatest tenor voice he had ever heard. Quite an endorsement when you consider that, by the time I knew Maestro, he had conducted some of the greatest voices in opera.
this is later live singing from Lanza, as this was Jan, 1958 he died in Oct. 1959, less then two years later.
I would of to see him live but he his way before my time but we his have recordings and movies
Это просто фантастика!!! Браво, Марио!❤❤❤👏👏👏 Большое спасибо за это видео , а ещё за то, что благодаря Вам я услышала весь этот концерт Марио Ланца. 🌺🌺🌺

i WAS THERE.
Wish I could've been....
How lucky you were. I envy you my friend.
Mario has an awesome voice.
What a VOICE he had!
No words…
You can hear the house in this particular recording. It’s not the flat digital sound . The still of Mario are wonderful . Thank you for posting .
It's been 61yrs since Lanza has passed and tenors to this day try to copy him and of course all have failed. There was only ONE Mario Lanza and like he always would say when people asked him how he could sing like no other Mario would always point to heaven and say "It's God's Voice, I'm just the humble caretaker of it". Mario was right, as it truly was a gift from heaven. I had the pleasure of talking with Damon , Mario's oldest son who told me when his dad got mad he would raise his voice and the lights in the house would go out and the lamps would actually shake. Terry Robinson his lifelong friend who eventually adopted the children I also met told me the recordings Mario made didn't begin to capture the true essence and raw power of Lanza's voice . He told me if you heard him in person his voice was so big it would scare the hell out of you . It was a truly unique voice only God could have created. It was at times the most lyric lightest softest tenor ala Pavarotti,Gedda then it would change to a Spinto timbre tenor, ala Di Stephano,Bergonzi and then change again to a deep dramatic tenor ala the other Mario that is Del Monaco. Mario had all three qualities in one voice and he mastered them perfectly. No other Tenor past or present had that gift. Thank God for the preservation of his recordings. We will never hear the likes of a Mario Lanza again.
Yes, yes, the lights in the house would go out and the lamps would shake.....are you sure the building didn't collapse?😂😂 Don't know your profession but you'd make a good storyteller......
@@jenspflug7473 This is FACT OK. It's not fiction . This was Mario's son I was talking to not Joe Biden who makes up stuff as he go's along . I have heard similar anecdotes told to me by Sam Weiler who i met through a vocal coach and Weiler told me as well that during several training sessions Mario would put the lights out with his High C's and your ears would buzz for hours.
@@Etnalleb Oh man, such a rubbish only comes from uneducated people. Are you an opera singer who ever stood next to a huge voice? No, right? Are you an opera singer at all? No,right? Ever heard of the laws of physics? Shattering glass or putting the lights out( hahaha) is physically impossible. In theory, sopranos is the first group of singers to turn to in this case as they have the highest frequencies in their voices needed for such impacts. Theoretically..... in practice it never worked. Ever heard such fairy-tales of del Monaco, Rosvaenge, Corelli (real huge voices)? No. Of course, Mario's son, Weiler etc. helped spreading the myth created by Hollywood to keep the buck running......ever heard of people who exaggerate enormously or even lie just to lift their importance and get a ray of other people's fame? Happens everyday- here on youtube and social media in general. Before commenting on something commentators shouls deliver a valid proof of their eligibility to keep a discussion solid and realistic.
@@jenspflug7473 Well, well, you jump right to absolute conclusions without bothering to find out any facts at all , you must be one of the mindless Biden voters. FYI , I sang tenor roles at both the NYC opera and Met with some of the premier leading Soprano's such as Beverly Sills and Eva Marton, and Renee Fleming just to name a few. I was personal friends with Tenor James McCracken and in my opinion he had the biggest dramatic tenor voice of any tenor . I heard many of the high tier tenors of the 60's, 70'sand 80's . I've surmised you know nothing about the actual law of physic's. It's not always the highest frequencies of sound but sheer decibel volume. I personally saw McCracken knock a cup holder... wood mind you, right off a bathroom rack with just one High C. So, as far as Lanza go's his son nor Sam Weiler had absolutely no reason at all to fabricate false stories and lie to me and neither did Terry Robison . Let's hear your credentials and your valid proofs ? I venture to say you've never even sung in the shower and enjoy printing out personal attacks just to see where the ink splatters.
The best there Will ever.be he.He is still my favorite,always.
Wonderful
Ein grosser Sänger, diese wunderschöne Aufnahme...Man fühlt sich dabei ,danke dafür Thomas aus Halle
And still convinced he was and is the best..yes there were n are many wonderful tenor voices but he had that magical something which will forever draw us to him n performed from a special place few artists are able to reach!.. "Magic Mario" indeed... my personal favorites are "Trees" and "I'll Walk With God"...
Thank you so much! I was brought up on a diet of Mario. My mother was an avid fan. My father took her to see the films, bought her records and later on vhs tapes of the Films. Certain arias she ironed to, certain arias she cried to and it was only natural that her enthusiasm would rub off on her children. I went on to study music. I have listened to, and loved, many tenors over the years especially Pavarotti but no one has ever matched the beautiful sound of Mario (and most tenors since Mario have used him as their inspiration). This was so very Special because it was a live recording as opposed to a studio recording so it was lovely to hear his voice, especially with just the piano accompaniment. His voice had to be a gift from God there can be no other explanation for such beauty. I am only sad that my mother never got to hear him live.....and I am sad for me too. I would also have loved to have been there with my mother and just wallowed in the ethereal magic of his voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lesley, what lovely and fond memories. Thank you for sharing something so beautiful and personal. I'm so glad you enjoyed this little video. This concert is very special for me too. You see, I studied voice and coached some operatic and musical roles with Maestro Constantine Callinicos (Mario's accompanist for this concert). Costa was very close to Mario and was a dear friend of his. During my time with the Maestro we spoke often of Mario. By the time I was working with Maestro Callinicos (1977-1982) he had worked with many world class tenors, yet he still said that Mario's voice was the greatest singing voice he had ever heard. Here is a link to the rest of the Royal Albert Hall concert. I hope you enjoy.

My Mother too loved him but she died aged 43 in 1955 when I was 11. She named me( second name) Maria after Ave Maria. I can see now why she loved him. Gives me a connection to her. Thank you.

He had a lot of feelings when he sang,that what’s a person needs to sing these powerful songs
You are quite correct Anna. As Mario Lanza said many times: "I sing each word as though it were my last on earth."
This is my 3rd or 4th comment about Mario's performance n the more I listen the closer I am transported back in time to that very evening + have listened to tenors past and present from all over the world via audio n video spanning 100 years during my young 75 years but he always surpasses all with that incredible personality, power emotion and intensity. Yes, Mario was as human as you and me but when he stepped onto that stage, was simply in a class by himself.
Harry you are right ,Mario were a class by himself .🎶🎵
Wow.
... Эта вещь звучала первым номером на концерте 16 января 1958 года в Лондоне... Марио был в прекрасной форме... а как великолепно он общается с публикой(!!!)... концерт - потрясающий: работоспособность человека может служить примером для современных певцов, но никто ещё не "дотянулся" до великого Марио Ланца, который до сих пор звучит современно, словно здесь и сейчас вышел на сцену и ВСЕОБЩИЙ ВОСТОРГ!!!!!!!! 💯+1 🙏🙏🙏 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Великий Марио Ланца на все времена❤🎉🎉🎉
Mario Lanza fue el mejor para interpretar esta pieza!
Desgarradora y pasional sin duda. Pero la mejor versión cantada con excelencia es la del Sueco Jussi Bjorling.
Only the best 👍☺️
I was introduced to Lanza in 1963 via album from my father .
So glad you enjoyed Gary. Lanza was one of a kind. His voice was, and continues to be, an inspiration to young singers. His was the voice that inspired me, forty five years ago, to sing professionally.
I always have loved hearing Mario sing this aria, and especially the two live versions: this one and the rehearsal one recorded in his home. Both totally debunk the notion that his voice was contrived and not really big. This remastered selection is extremely well done. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Clay. Thank you for your very kind words. I agree with you completely about Mario singing this beautiful and haunting aria. And also, like you, I love his live recordings. This one in particular is, to my ears (and heart) magical. Magical in a way that no studio recording can possibly capture. There is a very special facet of live performance, that being the audience. And Mario certainly knew how to connect with his audience. I think the audience elevated him vocally and artistically. By the way, there's an interesting story about the ossia (interpolation) of the high B-natural at the end. Cilea did not write it in the original score. However, when Beniamino Gigli first sang the role of Federico, Francesco Cilea was there. Gigli apparently felt the aria needed a true climax at the end so, he asked Cilea if he could add the unwritten B-natural. Cilea approved and told him to give it a try and the rest, as the say, is history.
Ciao - Tony
@@TonyPartington hi there please can I ask where this remaster has come from? Is it available thanks
@@ianwills6157 Hi Ian. I'm so glad you enjoy this video. If you want more information on the remastering and the source, drop me a line at tony@tonypartington.com. Ciao!
How does a recording, particularly one in where the microphone was in very close proximity to the singer debunk notions relating to the size of a singers voice?
@@luomodelloggione6564 Simply because the microphones were for recording purposes only! Lanza sang without amplification and anyone who can do that in the Royal Albert Hall and be heard, certainly did/does not have a small voice.
Sublime! Único. El mejor. La voz natural.
Mario rientra a cantare in Europa dopo molti mesi. Il suo volto è teso ed è molto emozionato, il suo celebre sorriso non è sul suo volto ed egli, elegantissimo, aspetta gli applausi con ansia! Gli inglesi lo amavano e lo applaudirono molto e questo certamente gli scaldo il cuore dopo le amarezze Hollywoodiane!
Sì, Mario era in un periodo difficile della sua vita al momento del concerto della Royal Albert Hall (16 gennaio 1958). Ha cantato magnificamente però, come attesta questa registrazione.
Perché quando Mario cantava il mondo si dissolveva e Lui era in contatto con il Cielo ❤
Miracle of a tenor voice, maybe only Tucker comparable at this aria ? Tragic loss to music to die so young.
Чудо ХХ века ! И всех последующих тоже !!!

Estoy muy contento de que hayas disfrutado de esta actuación. Ningún cantante, ni antes ni desde entonces, se ha acercado a la magnífica voz de Mario Lanza.
Lanza had a temper and few short comings. This aria suit him well as it naturally brought out his inner struggle with the demon within him and melancholy.
Desde muy niño fuy entusiasta de Mario Lanza.

As I recall, Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonyge attended this concert. Each attested thereafter that Lanza's voice had significant size and power --
You are correct Steve. They are also quoted as to speaking about the beauty of Mario's voice.
@@TonyPartington The Bonynges' opinions remain important, Tony. Because all these years later, some "critics" insist that Lanza had a small voice and would not have had a career without microphones.
Was the royal albert hall enhanced with amplifiers and microphones in this year? or did Mario sing without electric amplification at all?
@@Jeff4014 hello! No, Mario Lanza's performance at Royal Albert Hall on January 16, 1958 was not amplified in any way. In fact, very few of Mario's live concerts and recitals were amplified. There were of course certain exceptions. His performance at Grant Park in Chicago and the Hollywood Bowl in California come most immediately to mind. Those two venues were enormous and most all performances, at arenas that size, really had to be amplified. I am not sure of the exact number of attendees at the Royal Albert Hall concert, but I believe it was in excess of 8,000. Mario also performed, with his accompanist; conductor, pianist Constantine Callinicos, at a hall in Keil, Germany where the audience was over 10,000! Needless to say, Mario Lanza's voice was large enough for any opera house.
@@Jeff4014 I was there, the only microphone used was the one that recorded the performance, He filled the whole auditorium completely without any microphone.
único perfeçto
If I ever make it to Heaven, Mario will be singing for us with the angels. I cannot hear enough of Mario.
La più bella voce tenorile degli ultimi anni.....sensuale calda armoniosa, Maro Lanza forever and ever more
preferisco in questa romanza Tito Schipa,Ferruccio Tagliavini,Pippo di Stefano...ci vuole più dolcezza in questo pezzo.I mezzi vocali non mancano...bella voce
Да Великий певец и актёр Марио Ланцаего исполнения это гимн жизни людей на земле!!!
Pieza bien cantada que exprime el alma.
sigh he did sing live without a mike. very virile voice.
Para mim foi um dos maiores tenor da época
Sim, Mario Lanza foi minha inspiração para cantar profissionalmente. Tudo de bom!
Che bella voce e proprio tenore.
ПОЮЩИЙ АНГЕЛ!
Nadie a cantado el lamento como Mario Lanza, grande Mario!!!!
MARIO A mais bela e perfeita voz de todos os tempos.
Concordo. Que bom que você gostou disso.
Tony Partington, le agradezco con todo mi corazon, que haya publicado esta grabacion( que aun, masterizada es muy emocionante escucharla )me gusta mucho mas Mario Lanza acompañado del piano que las interpretaciones al gusto de Hollybood... Gracias..muchas gracias..
Hola Gladys Estoy muy contento de que hayas disfrutado la grabación. Creo que escuchar a Mario en vivo, con solo un piano es tan maravilloso. Tenía una gran voz y, si hubiera vivido, podría haber tenido una gran carrera en la ópera. Además, el acompañante de Mario, Constantine Callinicos fue mi profesor de voz en Nueva York durante muchos años. Gracias de nuevo por sus amables palabras. ¡Todo lo mejor!
Великий👍 певец тенор и👍 актер и добреший Марио Ланца гениален❤❤❤
Cantava con 3 CUORI!!!!! Fa sempre trepidare, incredibile
a me a fatto venire le lacrime, la passione è incredibile, le note ben posizionate, senza abbassare la tonalità, sempre su!
Travolgente. Sempre. Poi altri saranno stati più canonici, ortodossi , costumati, ma la scossa che da Mario la da solo lui
Най- великият тенор! Поклон!
Съгласен съм!
@@TonyPartingtonMe too
Профессиональный аккомпониатор, друг Марио - Константин Коллиникос, заслуживает похвалы и благодарности, созданные совместные шедевры, увековечили и обоих талантливейших людей! Любимый, не повторимый Марио Ланца поёт для меня каждый день💯🕯️👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
This man's voice was probably the most natural voice for a Tenor. Sadly he was snatched up by the MGM movie house. Yes through that he brought Opera to the classes but sadly did not complete his main aim for himself the Operatic stage. However I still get emotional when I hear his voice. In the end MGM treated him like dirt despite his big earnings for them. Mr Lanza trusted too many people too much and died very young by depression by being deserted and used for too long.
Absolutely 100% mate X
Glad to know you agree. Best wishes to you and keep enjoying the great singer.@@ronaldo190172
Certo non è un tenore raffinato come Bjorljng come Gigli...ma in questa performance mi ha stupito positivamente...grazie
Qué hermosa voz, he surpassed ogni technique
How far music has fallen. Taylor Swift, the model of mediocrity, has over 3 billion views on youtube on one song and this extraordinary Lanza piece has only 38,000.
I agree 100% but she will be forgotten in years to come
La vache, qu est ce que j' aurais voulu y être!!!
