5.0 out of 5 stars Charming and moving, not to be missed..., May 29, 2000

This review is from: Mamma - Luciano Pavarotti (Audio CD)

I just love this CD! He followed this with another similar CD called "Passione" which also had many lovely italian songs, but this one has it all. There are sweet songs (Parlami D'amore, Mariu), cute songs (Palco della Scala) and then bittersweet songs (Addio, Songi Di Gloria and Rondine Al Nido.) This CD comes with liner notes and I recommend taking the extra few minutes to see what he's singing. It will enhance your enjoyment (although the music alone is enjoyment enough!) Mancini's arrangements are really what helps to make the difference. I think a great arranger was what was missing from "Passione" --that and passione!

I am of Italian descent and even though I only understand some words the beauty of this cd is beyond description. The zest for life and fervor in each number is unbelieveable. Henry Mancini's arrangements gave me a greater appreciation of each of these very talented showmen. I think Pavarotti was at his prime on this disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cantare, cantare, November 25, 1999

This review is from: Mamma - Luciano Pavarotti (Audio CD)

Isn't this CD wonderful? I came upon it a bit late, but it was a great idea for Luciano Pavarotti and Herni (Enrico? ) Mancini to get together and introduce us all to these standard Italian favourites. Henri Mancini somehow knows just how to polish a tune and Pavarotti's "millenium" tenor puts in that last sparkle. I've fallen in love with "Parlami d'amore, Mariu." and whistle/sing/hum it all the time. (The original by Vittorio de Sica must be interesting.) Buy this CD to enjoy Italian songs at their absolute best.
