Where more than one version of a particular song exists, I have identified what I consider the best rendition in bold. Roll over this bold text to locate the best CD reproduction of the recording. Where only one version of a particular song exists, I've also provided the optimum CD source. (Again, simply scroll over the text with your mouse to locate these details.) Note: Sepia Records' 2015 CD Mario Lanza: My Italian Soul brings together arguably the best of Lanza's Italian and Neapolitan recordings. Full details about this CD can be read in our News section here.
