http://www.mantovanimusic.com The signature tune of the great Mantovani featuring the Mantovani sound of cascading strings, the way it sounded in the 1950s. This version is by The Mantovani Orchestra UK where a live concert was performed in front of a sell-out Bournemouth Pavilion audience.
Mantovani was a perfectionist in his art and his sound has never been authenticated as well as the orchestra managed in this live concert from 2010 in the UK.
Many people try to mimic the original sound but fail to deliver, this orchestra pulls it off with ease, so it seemed.
Perhaps it's because they have exclusive use of the original scores and a number of the original percussion instruments as played by Paul Barrett, it's hard to find their secret but every single concert is an absolute gem and can now be found on DVD from http://www.barrettfilmsmantovani.com with other, original, items including CDs and concert programmes.
Charmaine, heard here in this sample video, is just a small taste of what the Magic Of Mantovani Orchestra perform to perfection at each concert from the UK where, being there is just that; Magical.
The DVDs are not the ones you may see in the shops, they are exclusive extended versions with very rare Mantovani footage. If you enjoy Mantovani and his Orchestra, you'll love this collection of Mantovani Gems.

  • Exzellente Töne,

    perfekt wieder gegeben!!

    Mein Kompliment an Signor Mantovani...

  • I've heard this song in two films: the green mile & one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

  • Recently I heard all the tunes from the DVD "Mantovani Concert Spectacular" which is the LIVE performance in Poole UK. last autumn. The performance reminds me of the Mastro's beautiful music. Espesially I appreciate Mr.Paul Barrett's great efforts to the concert.

    

  • Bellissima performance,bravi!!!

  • A fabulous recreation of the original! I have a few Mantovani 78s, E.Ps, LPs and even one of those modern CD things! Truly beautiful music.

  • I'll certainly enquire, yes, it's beautiful, isn't it?

  • Beautiful!!! Do you need a guitar player???

    Spencer.
