- Dear Jeff - I just received my "gift"
from you Friday, and I have listened to little else, since. Although I
know you are daily inundated with mail, still, I feel compelled to try
to express my heart-felt gratitude for this truly THRILLING tribute to
the magical, magnificent Mario!
-
- It is so rare today--unheard of, really--for
any product purchased to measure up to the pre-purchase hyperbole. Yet,
you have produced a gem of a musical treasure that does precisely that.
The sound quality is far superior to that of any of my many Mario LPs or
CDs, and the selection of songs is simply superb! But above all of this,
Jeff, my immeasurable admiration and gratitude to you is for your courage,
dedication and perseverance in undertaking this wonderful testament to
your love of Mario's special gifts of communication; as the Message Forum
on your fascinating Lanza website makes clear, there are many of us who
fully share your love for, and devotion to, Mario's art and his memory;
yet, it was only YOU who had the energy, the skills, and the commitment
to make this priceless gift to Lanza fans, everywhere. For that, and for
the countless hours of unsullied joy that I, and all others will derive,
for years to come, from your gift, I can only restate my tremendous admiration
and profound gratitude: BRAVO, MAESTRO!!
-
- I sincerely hope you recoup every cent
you invested, and much more, in time--but even if you don't, I hope you
will take great comfort in the sure knowledge of the boundless pleasure
you have given so many of your fellow fans of Mario!
-
- All the best, always,

- Hi Jeff - Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
I've received the disc and simply had to write and thank and congratulate
you on such an amazing achievement. The sound quality is fantastic and
really brings Mario back to life. Even the previous commercially released
material sounds amazing. The photos themselves are worth the price of the
disc, and many are new to me. If ever I win the national lottery here in
England, I promise weíll get together and do another disc like this!
-
- Anyway, thanks again Jeff. Take care,
ALWAYS,
-

-
- Hello Jeff - This is Rick from Philly.
I just want to let you know I think your CD is just Sensational, the whole
Package. Great Job.
-
- I see some people on the message forum
think Mario is singing a little flat on O sole Mio. It sounds fine to me.
Also I made my friend who is an opera singer hear it, and he don't hear
nothing flat. Matter of fact he likes this version better than the 1949
version.
-
- Again, the CD is Sensational. Good Luck.
Hey, when you coming out with Volume 2? (Just Kidding!!!!)
-
- Take Care. Sincerely,
-
- Rick

- Dear Russell, Through the special efforts
and expense of both the WebHost and your goodself, I finally received the
much-heralded Jeff Rense CD. Its engineering reproduced the vibrancy of
voice that set the pulses racing in my impressionable teenage years during
the early 50's. I've never been the same after I was knocked flat from
the first uppercut by the stupendiferous Lanza back then. I'm still dazed
now from the secondly-delivered knockout blow after going just one round
with Jeff's new CD.

- From Pat Burkhart
-
- Yesterday, I received a copy of the CD,
"I'll See You In My Dreams," produced by Jeff Rense. As it started
playing, I actually stopped breathing for a few seconds. It was as if Mario
was in my living room singing to me. Believe me this CD is worth every
bit of the $19.98 plus $4.00 Shipping & Handling for a total cost of
$23.98. This CD is an absolute must for the true Mario enthusiast. I only
wish I had Derek Mannerings wonderful way with words, but as I don't, I
can only describe the sound as crisp, clear and clean. It knocks you over
to hear such beauty.
-
- As for why someone would want to purchase
two, I can only give you my reason which is so I can have one for home
and one for the office, plus I would have heart failure if I should accidently
ruin this CD and be unable to obtain another one. Another reason to purchase
this CD is the beautiful booklet which is chock full of wonderful photos,
many I have never seen. Jeff Rense deserves a standing ovation for his
perseverance in bringing this wonderful tribute to Mario to fruition.

-
- Jeff, I got the CD "I'll See You
In My Dreams" and it is truly a fantastic Lanza collection. The sound
quailty: I never thought could be that good. Musica Proibita is one of
the highlights. After hearing this, I wished I could tell Mario "Your
Voice Is Heavenly". To those without this CD, you are missing Lanza
at his best! Thanks, Jeff.

-
- Let me add my voice to all the others
praising Jeff's new CD. Obviously I had already heard it in demo version
but the finished product has exceeded all expectations. It is an exceptional
release in every way - artwork, sound and photographs. No one who considers
themselves an admirer of the art and voice of Mario Lanza will want to
be without this fabulous new CD. Well done, Jeff!

-
- After waiting a while to catch my breath,
i treated myself to a re-play of Jeff's CD. Hearing Someday !'ll find you"
followed by "Because", "Musica Prohibita", "Granada",
"Parlami D'amore", "Roses of Picardy" , "O Sole
Mio" & onto "I'll see You in My Dreams", emphasized
the MAGICAL SPLENDOR of the Golden Voice of Mario Lanza. Ladies & Gentleman,
i am now limp as a wet rag, emotionally drained --- but in Euphoria!

- >From Edna
-
- Russ, got mine today. you are SO right
---it is ALL superb! When Mario sings "Because", even my goosepimples
get goosepimples!! Everyone who loves Mario should absolutely get this
CD. BRAVO! DEAR JEFF, & THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE!

- >From Lorie
-
- I think I've recovered enough now to
be able to sit upright and type. It blew me away, and I'm not kidding.
I put the "do not knock on this door unless you're bleeding"
sign on my bedroom door, positioned the player, hopped into the waterbed
and proceeded to be whisked away... It's WONDERUL!!
-
- I got to Musica Proibita, barely catching
my breath after Because...and wow! And then, the first few notes from When
Day Is Done hit my ears, definitely one of the songs that gets to me the
most. Then the bubble just burst....the tears just streamed...I was sobbing
by the end of it.
-
- By the time I'll See You In My Dreams
ended .... I can't even describe it...I just laid there floating for a
while. All of it...the O Sole Mio!!...Thine Alone!!! You have laid total
waste to me, sir. Thank you, so much!!!!!!!! As much as I hate the slang
overuse of the term.... it is indeed AWESOME. (Maybe you should have considered
a warning label)
-
-
- >From a longtime fan
-
- Well, your beautiful CD was waiting for
me when I got home last night and I hardly know what to say. It is exquisite
in every way - fabulous sound, beautiful artwork, and a selection of photos
to die for! Well done, sir! It's a monumental achievement and one you should
be very proud of. The Lanza fans and the Lanza family owe you a great debt
here. Jeff, thank you again for the wonderful disc.

- >From Russ
-
- Just finished listening To Jeff's new
CD. It is absolutely gorgeous. The sound quality could not be better, and
the liner booklet is a wonderful tribute to Mario. The cover photo is a
true work of art. Many thanks to Jeff for taking on this project, and settling
for no less than a first-class product.

- >From Santiago Yturria
-
- Dear Jeff,
-
- I've just received your wonderful gift,
your masterpiece CD production of Mario Lanza. I consider myself very fortunate
to have this authentic golden piece of legendary Mario and it is certainly
a unique collection of the great Lanza's performances not available anywhere
else. I just have to congratulate you for a superb effort to bring to the
world these hidden Mario songs in a golden classic collection. Being a
profesional musician, I know how complicated and expensive was your task
in making this production and finally your persistant determination was
compensated by one of the most distinguished musical research productions.
You must be very proud of your gigantic work and I'm sure that Mario in
heaven is blessing you.
