5.0 out of 5 stars Viva Italia! Festive Italian Classics, December 4, 1999
This CD brings me back to the Brooklyn I knew in the 1950's. Frankie Fanelli's renditions of "Mala Femmena" and "Al Di La" are tremendous. Perry Como's "Anema E Core" is pure liquid velvet! Has anyone even come close to Lou Monte's "Lazy Mary"? Of course not, and Lou's renditions alone are more than worth the cost of the CD. Almost a full hour of joy!

4.0 out of 5 stars lazy mary, May 19, 2000
By sue stagnitto (california, usa) - See all my reviews
i love this cd. it has many of the "classic" italian & sicilian tunes. the only problem is that they are not all in italian...too much english. it also has too many tunes without lyrics. other than than this is a terrific cd. i highly recommend it, especially if you are sicilian/italian. i'm looking for this genre of songs IN ITALIAN LYRICS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Italian music fans, October 27, 2001
By Dave, Katie and Jeff (seattle, wa United States) - See all my reviews
We have listened to this CD over and over and love it every time.
We love all the songs. Nobody can sing Lazy Mary like Lou Monte. And all the other vocals are classic. The instrumentals are beautiful. Katie likes to dance to some of the songs. Play this anytime you want to feel like you are in Italy. We highly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars As one reviewer said, really a "so so" CD
Agree with the buyer who found this CD "so so." The songs are simply a compilation of some rather old versions of Italian melodies, with really dated arrangements. Read more
