I hope my brother is walking with God now after he lost his battle with cancer, this is the first words I thought of when we were told he had died, I hope they don't play this at the funeral as I think I would cry I have tears in my eyes now listening to this and as the oldest brother I have to be the strongest.

Love his voice …Collabro was never the same after his departure.

O my lord, that was the best I've ever heard that sung. I'm sobbing my heart out.💔 One of my mum's favourites. She passed away last march just after lock down. Sadly there was only 7 at her funeral as all her friends were shielding. I would love to play that at her celebration of life service, whenever that will be. Her other favourite was "the holy city". I would love to hear you sing that if you would please. ♥️

I was in tears listening to this rendition! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo! More of this type of sound PLEASE,! 💕💕💕👏👏👏

What a voice......made the day a lot better. Thank you.

I like this version so much. Beautiful rendition, wonderful voice.

Yep thank you for doing this for Cathy! You angel you! 💗 No wonder you didn't get this done yesterday! If this was the performance that you wanted to achieve! 💥 And yes You do match Mario Lanza in every vocal way - better looking too! 😉 CHOOKAS SNOOX! 💖

Hey Richard, I’ve been walking with the God 69 years now. If you don’t know Him would love for you to meet Him.

I first saw you with Callabro on BGT and I found myself listening for your voice the most. I was sure I heard a trained opera singer in you and it was beautiful. You truly do bring joy to me with your music. I'm happy for you to have found your happiness as a soloist. I was wondering who you were singing with in some of your videos. I would love to hear you sing The Prayer. It was my bridal song with my husband. All the best for you in the future. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful gift with the world.

I am a christian. May God be the glory. What a powerful, pure voice. That was a blessing to hear. I think that will bring a lot of comfort to the world. 💕😍🔥🙏🏻

What a beautiful song.i am christian and i appreciate the song very much.the voice is so powerful.very good voice.

FAAARRRR OUT MAN!!!!!! 😲 WOW!!!! 🌟 I knew you were bloody good but you've just taken it to a new level of SHAZAM! 💥 This is an amazingly difficult tune to get right and you blitzed it! 💖 Not only that, you POWERED it in!!!! Thank you! 💖 B R A V O !!!! BRAVO BRAVISSIMO!!!! 💖

Mum absolutely loved it, I think she had a tear in her eye, and she thanks you for her early birthday wishes and considers that your song is an early birthday present. Thank you Richard, you made an elderly lady very happy. ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely brilliant love this by mario Lanza so thank you.

I pray Kathy Barr is recovering and thank you Richard for that magnificent rendition you r right that a great many of the most magnificent pieces of music are hymns. Only 3% of the UK people go to any church what a shame that your country has turned its back on the Lord🥲 Richard your voice is God’s gift not only to you but to all of us who listen. Your gift has been used by the Lord to bring comfort and peace to hundreds of thousands of us who listen almost daily. I PRAY that you might find the peace and comfort your gift has brought to all of us

I have heard Miro Lanza sing this song for many long years HOWEVER! let my say that The moment that Richard began this song I imminently heard a higher recording & voice quality than i have ever heard before regarding this song! Man!! Huge Talent, I say God Bless Richard Hadfield! Love His version & quality of this classic song

Well done son. Beautiful voice. Very blessed to have a tenor voice. I think Mario would be proud. My dad took me to see, The Student Prince, back in the 50's. I was very disappointed that it was Edmund Purdom lip synching and not Mario Lanza actually singing. I grew up listening to a lot of tenors but Lanza was my favourite next to Fritz Wunderlicht. You have a Jussi Bjorling tone in your voice, as he was called, "the man with the silvery voice". Thank you for uploading and sharing.

Brilliantly sung someone with genuine talent.

Mario Lanza has been reincarnated and enhanced through you Richard. I was always drawn to you and your voice from the first time I saw you on BGT. Then I saw you sing empty chairs and the tone of your voice was displayed to its fullest blessing. What a beautiful gift and I wish you much success in your career and happiness in your personal life as well.

you absolutly smashed that Richard. ive only ever heard Mario Lanza sing that..Beautiful

Wow Richard ,is there nothing you can’t sing Mario Lanza would be so proud of that rendition ,Wonderful .

Im in America and i love your voice. What a wonderful song. Very moving rendition ♥️♥️

Richard, what an incredible voice range you possess! You continue to amaze me with every selection you sing. Thank you for alleviating our stress during this Covid-19 time period. I look forward to my connection with you each week.

Oh Richard, how wonderful that was.. I have only heard it sung by Mario Lanza when he did the film about Enrico Caruso, but I have heard it many times played by different Brass Bands.. My husband played the Euphonium solo, of this song, a few times and it really touches the heart and soul.. Thank you for this wonderful rendition and also for sparking memories of my beloved husband who passed away 3 and a half years ago.. Bless you for singing as you do and bringing some joy to our lives, during these weird and scary times.. My very best wishes to you, from Wales ..

I love this. I have only heard the Mario Lanza version before this. This is is every bit as good in my opinion . You put so much power and emotion into this song. Bravo! 👏👏👏

I love this song remember the great Mario Lanza singing this you did it great justice just beautiful thank you Richard 🙋‍♀️

Wonderful Richard watched the Great Caruso last night .can you please sing along ago and Far Away from 1944. this song really gets to you thank you.

You have a great voice. May the Lord lead you to much success with your singing career. You deserve it!

Thank you! This song was written for Mario Lanza in his film "The Student Prince" back in 1954. It is indeed a beautiful hymn.

Wow, that was magnificent. I just discovered it and it gave me shivers. Thank you.

I have never heard this song. Richard you sang it beautifully

This is from The Student prince, a film where Edward Purdom payed the prince, but Mario Lanza sang all. Funnily enough, this song has been playing through my head the past few days, unfortunately I am not a tenor. You did it pretty well, my congrats

Oh my goodness... You sound as good as Mario Lanza... Singing this in The Student Prince... I feel like crying... This was my Mother's best movie. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo Richard.

Magic. Thank you

You were amazing through the pandemic Love to hear you sing xx

Fantastic

Just beautiful.

My nan just died and this song was in church walking in. It's so emotional too me. You brought it so deep. Your such a great singing bud, wish you all the best in future of singing you deserve it

Oh WOW Richard that was stunning. Like you I am not particularly religious but that made my eyes leak. I love Mario Lanza and you have, in my humble oppinion topped his version. Well Done.

I think lots of different things touch the soul in ways other things can’t. For some that is religion but for me it’s musical chords and melodies! Thank you for the lovely compliment Lynda. Much appreciated! X

You have a blessed and beautiful voice

Amazing rendition. Keep it up. Requesting Holy Forever -Chris Tomlin

Wow1 Thank You!

Wow !!!!

I bet you could do justice to every song that was in the “Student Prince” Mario Lanza voice was used in the movie version but the many songs in the show are just up your alley to display your vocals.

I thank God for the song .the best song I ever heard.thank you very much.more Christian song please.

One of the most beautiful songs I know... And sang so beautiful !! Thank you, you have a marvelous voice...!!! Maybe you can perform also the song "Our Father, who are in Heaven"... Would like to hear you sing it... For sure will be splendid and amazing also... Greetings from Portugal🙋‍♀️

What a lovely voice...I fell in love with this song by Mario lanza, yours is the 1st version I like 👍

Mario Lanza would be proud of that rendition. One of my favourite songs. We played it at my moms funeral
