Mario Lanza - For You Alone (Take Thou This Rose) - Gordeeva & Grinkov скачать видео бесплатно

The beautiful voice of Mario Lanza and photos of him along with master paintings which accompany the song's lyrics and the excellent ice skating of world famous Russian team of Gordeeva and Grinkov all combine to make this a lovely experience not only for the ears but for the eyes as well.

Henry Geehl (1881-1961) was the composer of this song, For You Alone. "Henry Ernest Geehl [pronounced 'Gale'] (28 September 1881 -- 14 January 1961) was an English pianist, conductor, composer and arranger. Born in London in 1881....His song 'For You Alone' ('Für dich allein'; words by P. J. O'Reilly) achieved great popularity, being recorded by Enrico Caruso, Lauritz Melchior, Jussi Björling and Mario Lanza, among others". (The quote is from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Geehl)

The photos of Mario Lanza are from his film "The Great Caruso", which is an incredibly beautiful film. "The Great Caruso" and Mario's other films are available for purchase from Turner Classic Movies.

The video of Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov skating is from Reverie in the 1992 -- 1993 Stars On Ice at Lake Placid, NY. The choreography for Gordeeva and Grinkov is by Michael Seibert.
