5.0 out of 5 stars Italian Perfection, July 31, 2003

This review is from: Italian Love Songs (Audio CD)

I am only 19 years old but have quite and extensive Dino collection and this was the first Dino CD i ever purchased. I had, for years listened to those old LPs on my grandmother's record player. The sound quality wasn't all that great but the quality of Dino's voice was unmatched, even today. All together i have about 20 records and you get a little of his wonderful Italian flair here and there. I can't remember how many times i listened to Volare when i was a kid and growing to appreciate the song and it's singer more each time i heard it. But I never realized the greatness of his voice until I bought this CD. The first thing that blew me away was the sound quality (having listened to him on album my entire life). His voice was smoother and more melifluous than i had ever heard and when Volare came on the chills ran down my spine. The rest of the CD was almost as great, each song wonderfully remastered and begging to played over and over again on your CD player as it is on mine. I was always slightly dissapointed to hear an Italian baritone singing country western (not that I don't like his country songs) and always loved hearing him sing in Italian. True most of these song are mostly if not entirely sung in English, which is the only detrimental feature to this entire album. But when the noble roman lyrics do poke through you can, if you close your eyes, see him singing on the streets of Rome to all the beautiful women. Add it to you collection or start it off with this album, either way you will not be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars If I could give this album 6 out of 5 stars, I would !!!, April 27, 2002

Dean Martin is superb on this cd ! his silky smooth voice, sings all these beautiful melodies with such feeling.
And of course, needless to say, his Italian is flawless.

All these songs are so relaxing, that there should be a warning on the cover not to drive or operate machinery while listening !!!
You will not regret adding this one to your collection.
