Mantovani?s trademark sweeping string sound is heard to glorious effect in this mouth-watering compilation. Decca used the 1966 album Mantovani Magic to spearhead their sales campaign for that year; it was also the company?s way of honouring Mantovani, who had brought so much success and kudos to the label. If you?ve never heard a Mantovani album, then this is the one to start with because it is typical of his elegant orchestral style and features a choice collection of truly romantic melodies. Classic numbers such as Misty, Cara Mia, Stardust, Lover and Most Beautiful Girl in the World, among others, all sound gorgeous under Mantovani?s direction. Concert Encores was recorded at the end of 1957, just in time for the stereo revolution the following year, and sees Mantovani turning to the world of light classics for inspiration. Here he provides spellbinding arrangements of timeless melodies including those by Granados (Spanish Dance), Rimsky-Korsakov (Song of India), Massenet (Meditation), Elgar (Chanson de Matin), Sarasate (Gipsy Airs) and others. In other words, good taste personified.
