The Best of Mantovani in Monaural Sound
Thomas E. DeJulio | Bronxville, NY USA | 06/13/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The advance of stereo sound was fueled in 1958 by the greatest light orchestra of the 20th Century. Although Mantovani was the first artist to sell one million stereo records, his orchestra's popularity predates stereo and there are tracks on this CD from many of his earliest LPs that were never recorded in stereo, including remarkable arrangements of the Dance of the Hours and Smetana's Dance of the Comedians. Mantovani fans should acquire this CD just for those ballet gems alone, and all the rest of the greatest of the early arrangements by the incomparable Mantovani and his orchestra. In the interest of full disclosure, you will enjoy this CD for its musicianship more than its sound quality."
