Mario Lanza Che Gelida Manina 1949 What a voice this man had. It's a bracha. And he was from South Phillie, not some glamorous European country. Sadly, he got involved in Hollywood, which tore his health apart.

As I mentioned in a prior post about opera, the librettos are generally decadent and foolish. Those were written by men. But Hashem created the voice and a great voice is a wonder and a bracha. Actually, the ability to speak at all is a wonder. And all the more so gifted singing. It's too bad they wasted their voices on opera. Should have sung songs of praise to Hashem. The fame and fortune are short lived, especially for these people. But praise of Hashem lives forever.
Such a terrible thing to say. These men and women sang precisely because they were called by God to bring God's beauty into this world and that is praise to the Almighty. They also ALL sang many religious songs and services.
ReplyDeleteSinging in the manner described is a dream of mine. Not for a career but only the best for our God.
