About

This Vocalion CD reissue offers us the chance once again to sample the music of maestro Mantovani - the man who, let's not forget, was selling records by the million long before the Beatles came on the scene. Mantovani Presents His Concert Successes (1970) features a slight twist on the tried and tested format - while the individual tracks were studio-recorded, each is preceded by 'live' recordings of Mantovani in concert, announcing each piece to his audience, thereby creating the illusion of actually being at a Mantovani gig. Fascinating stuff! And, of course, all immaculately performed by Mantovani and his musicians.
