Italia Mia featured a popular compendium of timeless Italian songs and tunes given the Mantovani treatment, providing him with a lengthy American album chart run. (US:8)
“An excellent collection of his timeless music that just proves the aural artistry and beauty depicted by Mantovani. This select grouping of tunes will give you chills from his arrangements, and add to anyone's library of great music. You will find yourself playing it over many times.”
“These Italian melodies enhanced by Mantovani's gifted arrangements are still attracting listeners today, who may hear some of the renditions by the current day orchestra bearing the Mantovani name. These original recordings are even more spectacular to hear, such as the hauntingly beautiful Come Back To Sorrento, the stunning Mattinata, the ever popular classic Return To Me, a heart tugging Vissi D'Arte, and a very lively and clever arrangement of the Bersaglieri March, among many other Italian classics.”
“Italia Mia by Mantovani was the first record purchased by our family when we bought our first radiogram in 1961. This record was being played in the store when my parents entered. They loved this beautiful traditional Italian music. It was so hard to resist they not only bought the record but also bought the radiogram.”
“A glorious treat for those who can never get enough of the Mantovani sound.”
