Mantovani - Swedish Rhapsody

[MSBollWeevil]

"...Eins zwo drei sechs sieben sieben acht..." Without that, the tune is too sweet.

[silverstartrucker]

Have I previously commented on this, can't remember. As a youth I was enchanted with Mantovani's singing strings sound...this was the first record I ever bought, I used to wind up the gramophone and place the needle on the grooves...wonderful, thank you for posting.

Superb masterpiece played so well by Mantovani & his orchestra++++++++++++

[rohini2808]

@tkyaheya Hi noted your earlier comment. Notice you too are a keen fan of Mantovani. Greetings!

First heard and loved this lovely tune in the late 1950s when I was under 5............still love it. Superb!

eins sieben neun vier acht acht sechs

One could really get hurt "dancing" to this in those mobile office chairs with the plastic wheels on marble floors...that is, if one were moved to do that, that is. :)

[joelt6502]

Went from listening to the Mah na Mah na song (classic) not the sesame street version and heard this being interplayed with it and woosh, off to wiki to find the name of it and here I am! Amazing freaking time we live in!!!

[rosbif76]

me and my dad have often listened to this full blast condusting in thin air as if we were conductors we shall have to do that again soon

fantastic!

[rohini2808]

@kaleng123456 Was it just me, or was I the only one who found that scene in matchstick men unbelievably hilarious!

[kaleng123456]

@1091Floyd21 Indeed :)

[wallofvideo]

about a year and a half ago i was in an asian buffet restaurant and i heard this song. i wanted to know the song's name, but there were no lyrics to facilitate a google search for the title. then i heard the opening bars cited in umiliani's "mah na mah na" and by way of wikipedia discovered that the name of the song is "swedish rhapsody." and now here i am. the end.

@wallofvideo -- Congratulations on your successful search. You were very resourceful ! It's hard to find the titles of instrumental tunes (as I well know from my own experience).

que bella musica como tocan tan magisralmente los instrumentos que manera de interpretar esta melodia esta musica le gusta a mis abueitos a mis papas y a mitambien me llamo giovanni y tengo l6 años

[raulfrancisco1]

El ritmo se parece mucho a un tema que se tocaba en Mexico 1860 en la epoca porfirista hasta la revolucion mexicana 1920 en los grandes salones para bailar, lo digo porque yo la llege a oir en alguna peliculas revolucionarias, no recuerdo si fue en la de "la adelita, la cucaracha, o la valentina" o a menos en la pelicula de Joaquin Pardave en una que decia los bailes del Can Can

Dave here. For some reason I imagine some Englishman saying, "I say, this is great fun!" I love the fullness of the concert hall sound. So rich! You should hear Mantovani's rendition of Camptown Races on his "American Scene" LP!

[joelt6502]

@Myrtle791 Good show, old man!..as in I totally agree with you!!

[chak9141]

I was much charmed by this light music played during a inter-house drama competition in my secondary school in the late 60s. Every piece of favorite music evokes a lasting memory, and this is it.

[Alphaplz]

Yeah! 0 dislike No1 like bieber woohooo!

[ostab4489]

OSTAB4489 QUE LINDA MELODÍA, PERO NO TENIA NI IDEA QUIEN LA INTERPRETABA...SALUDOS DESDE MI AMADA COLOMBIA..-

[victorbrunswick]

When I was a kid my parents had this record. I used to listen to it all the time.

[Booker42100]

I remember this tune being at the top of Jack Jackson's Hit Parade on Sunday evenings on Radio Luxembourg. It was there for months on end. A con really because the play list was at that time (mid-1950s) compiled from sales of sheet music!

[monawachsler]

love it......

[weirdnessofthem]

This will NEVER sound the same after that scary radio station

[Mujave]

@weirdnessofthem Hahah :D Nah I guess that's true

[ZRN959]

@weirdnessofthem HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[chg657]

@weirdnessofthem No kiddin'....(grin) That dam doll chases me around every so often in a nightmare...

[TheBalnat]

Great tune. I love it since my son was riding on his pony to this beautiful melody. Should be the swedish national anthem!

[kikddabottle]

northland shopping center!dam you requiem for detroit!

[krazykatmrsmith]

The music itself is morphine.

[dfszczepan]

BRAVO!!!! I remember listening to this as a child when my mother played it on a

45 RPM. (now you know how old I am) It was always such soothing music, and it is a totally timeless masterpiece! Thanks so much for posting!

[2Arnau7]

what great music! Thank you!!!

[pantayoko]

Sounds a bit like a magical land :) thank you for posting :)

[dellotti]

From the land of the Midnight sun, comes this originally serious music of Hugo Alfvén, a great composer of the classic kind of swedish romanticism.

Alfvén hated one instrument, and that was the accordion, so it's reallt funny to hear his piece here actually played on accordion.

[SANCHEZ12SANCHEZ]

GRACIAS "TERRACITE"  POR SUBIR ESTA MUSICAAA!!!!! GLORIOSA ARMONIA!!

[injunshepp]

takes me to my childhood! : D hello childrens record. and im only 19!

[queenievenus]

This piece of music was frequently played on Irish radio in the fifties . It is wonderful to hear it again, it reminds me of long hot summer days ,during long summer holiday from school. We children often danced around the kitchen with my Mother when we heard it.
