1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Recording, September 5, 2002
By 
"sram@mindspring.com" (Austin, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of The Mantovani Orchestra (Audio CD)
The quality of the recording is poor. You can hear flutter in the string passages, which is 90% of Mantovani's music! There is also hiss noise, and pops in piece transitions... Amateur transcription from tape to CD's, is my guess. Someone else made bad reviews regarding the poor recording on the same record label, so my suggestion is to stay away from the label Madacy Records.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Mantovani Orchestra (vol 1 & 2), September 14, 2002
By 
Joseph C. Jernigan (Plant City, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of The Mantovani Orchestra (Audio CD)
The Madacy Label has betrayed Mantovani's genious, and substituted poor recordings in these 2 CD's. I have immediately
cancelled all Madacy Label orders with everyone, and will investigate all future items with a Canadian origin prior to purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Of The Mantovani Orchestra, April 13, 2004
By 
Jeff Carter (Perry, Ga United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Best of The Mantovani Orchestra (Audio CD)
This cd is an ok collection of tunes from Mantovani.It's not the best but it's ok.This 2 cd set features songs such as three coins in a fountain,send in the clowns,skater's waltz,for once in my life and others.This isn't the only version of for once in my life Mantovani did.This version is light strings.Manti's other version is with a harpsicord and heavy strings.It is on Mantovani Scene/Mantovani Sound which has just come out from Vocolion.It also has such songs as dear heart,both sides now,honey and a lot of others.Amazon doesn't have this yet but I have just recieved my copy from another website.Like the other viewer said unfortuanly the sound quality is bad on the best of collection.I even heard somebody coughing on one track and there is some tape hiss from the transfer.I would like to recommend a 2 cd set by John Fox going under the name of the starry night orchestra that is put out by yestermusic(good music group)and has 30 tracks by Mr.Fox.Every song has a heavy string contingment and it states that these were played on beautiful music stations.John Foxes Strings are so beautiful.
The John Fox I'm talking about isn't the same John Fox that is a commedian that is sold on this site.
