Mantovani and his orchestra. Begin the Beguine (Cole Porter)

World War II bombers fly over head as the rich tone of His Master's Voice wind-up gramophone takes you away from the problems of rationing, black out and destruction.

Just a note from the Mantovani Fan Website, Begin the Beguine was Mantovani's theme song before his large string orchestra and Charmaine. It is amazing quality for a 78 RPM disk. Thank you

A remarkable recoding of a wonderful piece of music. As far as musical arrangements go it doesn't get much better than this. Mantovani was certainly a master. Thank you for posting.

It's a beautiful song and it makes me remember when I was young and loved to dance boleros, cheek to cheek wit my first boyfriend. Goo times ...

I'm 59, and though I've always been a pop fan, my mom loved Mantovani, so I grew up with the sound of his strings filling the house. The sound of his orchestra's "cascading violins" is so distinctive and beautiful. Thank you to all of you have posted his music. You truly have exquisite taste!
