The Magic Of Mantovani

Decca presents the release of a brand new album in which Mantovani’s original orchestral 1950s and ‘60s recordings are remastered and set with brand new vocals for the very first time from one of today’s most acclaimed and sought after singers, the award winning Maltese tenor, JOSEPH CALLEJA. 40 years, this March, since Mantovani’s untimely death in 1980, his trademark 'cascading' strings sound, which led to the star being the first artist ever recording artist to sell over 1 million stereo albums. The album features the international opera superstar Ren ée Fleming and Emily D’Angelo. “Joseph Calleja has done the impossible brought my Grandfather's beautiful music back to life. Now a whole new audience can ap preciate its wonder!” Simon Mott ( Mantovani’s grandson) “On the 40th Anniversary of Mantovani’s death our family are thrilled and delighted that Decca will be releasing an album using the original Mantovani mastertapes with Joseph Calleja. His superb voice brings a new interpretation of these arrangements and we could not have wished for a better collaboration. We don’t doubt that Mantovani himself would have been so pleased and proud that his music continues to live on.“ Patricia Mantovani (Mantovani’s daughter in law)
