Evening In Venice

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Emile Pandolfi doesn't aspire to be the most acrobatic pianist in the world, but he might be the most romantic. On Evening in Venice, he takes us back to his roots with a celebration of Italian music favorites. Most of these instrumentals derive from opera arias, perfectly arranged for Pandolfi's lyrical piano and light mandolin accompaniment. "Speak Softly Love" is one surprise here; it's the romantic theme from The Godfather. On timeless arias such as "O Sole Mio," Pandolfi's easy-listening performances prove to be both amorous and nostalgic. Granted, this is just mood music--the kind of easy-listening CD you play during a candlelight dinner, not during a long drive. That said, if you crave Italian, this disc is just the ticket. --Jason Verlinde

5 out of 5 stars Joy to the Heart.......2003-03-16

I first purchased Evening in Venice on cassette, in a hospital gift shop. While caring for my loving husband, the music was such an inspiration for me to realise just how much he meant to me and the love we shared for each other. Even after his death it kept him close to me. The music is so touching and opens not only the mind and heart but the complete soul.

I think Mr. Pandolfi is a genuius and a gift to life.

5 out of 5 stars Evening In Venice.......2000-03-31

I was immediately delighted with this CD; it is lush, romantic, but never overly sweet. The performance is precise and well-done, but yet swept with emotion and passion! Thanks for an unforgetable trip to Italy!

5 out of 5 stars Evening In Venice is absolutely beautiful.......1999-12-11

In the past 4 weeks I have purchased 5 Emile Pandolfi CD's. I am not particularly fond of classical music, but the the selection of songs, which are mostly well known arias from Italian operas and his style and arrangements make this the best easy listening music I have ever heard.I have sent this CD to two other persons. It is absolutely beautiful.If you like romantic songs,this CD is a must.

Album Description

This never before issued recital was given in 1954, when Zino Francescatti was at the peak of his formidable powers. The legendary French violinist, whose musical ancestry goes back to Paganini, plays with such stunning precision and musicality that these works leap off the page with acrobatic joy. Francescatti's `old world' approach to this music includes his use of piano accompaniment in the famous D major Concerto, and in the seven Caprices. (Francescatti never made a commercial recording of Caprice No. 17, so this stands as a new addition to his discography.) This electrifying CD is for enthusiasts of the grand era of virtuoso violin playing, and reconfirms Francescatti's place, along with Heifetz and Milstein, among the three greatest players of their generation.

5 out of 5 stars Francescatti does it again.........2006-06-09

This is a great album. Francescatti does it again, with awesome deliverance of Paganini music.

The Paganini Violin Concerto No. 1 was awesome, like always. This recording is with piano accompaniment with Artur Balsam, who also does excellent. If you've heard the original recording of this with Francescatti and Ormandy (with orchestra), Francescatti plays almost the same way. Since this is a live recording of a Library of Congress recital, you hear coughing but it's not too distracting. Now, for the flaws: you have to first acknowledge that this is live. Francescatti has, in my opinion, a lot of false notes. A lot doesn't mean intonation problems in every other measure, but for a great violinist like Francescatti, I consider it to be a lot. I would say that there were about four or five big mistakes in the first movement, but seems like he warmed up in the second and third movements. The second movement was beautiful and the third movement was almost perfect.

The Carnival of Venice was brilliant. I think that it was a little different than the version that Salvatore Accardo played on the "Accardo plays Paganini: Complete" album from Deutsche Grammaphon. Nevertheless, it was played almost flawlessly. Francescatti starts the beginning a little faster than how Accardo started it, but I thought the the tempo Francescatti played in (just the introduction) was better than Accardo's. Accardo takes a bit too slow.

The Paganini Caprices, all arranged for violin and piano, were all executed very well. They were all almost perfect too. As a bonus to this album, the Paganini Caprice #17 was included. Francescatti never recorded the #17 before so it was a nice little treat in the album. Personally, I frown upon piano accompany arrangements for the Paganini Caprices because they take away its originality, but the caprices in this album were all enjoyable.

Finally, the I palpiti was amazing. It seems that everyone plays different versions of this. Accardo plays his own, Francescatti his own, and others such as Kremer and Vengerov play the Kreisler version. I like the version that Francescatti plays better than Accardo's and Kreisler's. It's much more simple and concise, while it's technically astounding.

I highly recommend this album. It's also great to hear a violin concerto with piano accompaniment. I would give this album 4.5 to 4.75 stars because of some intonation issues in the first few tracks, but since I can't, I'll gladly boost it up and give it 5 stars. As my title says, Francescatti does it again.

    I am pretty happy with the CD I have. I noticed that these songs are not on other CD. Summer Time in Venice, Three Coins in the Fountain, The Impossible Dream, Send in The Clown, Somewhere My Love and Elizabethan Serenade. The sound quality is acceptable.

    4 out of 5 stars The Best Of The Mantovani Orchestra.......2004-04-13

    This cd is an ok collection of tunes from Mantovani.It's not the best but it's ok.This 2 cd set features songs such as three coins in a fountain,send in the clowns,skater's waltz,for once in my life and others.This isn't the only version of for once in my life Mantovani did.This version is light strings.Manti's other version is with a harpsicord and heavy strings.It is on Mantovani Scene/Mantovani Sound which has just come out from Vocolion.It also has such songs as dear heart,both sides now,honey and a lot of others.Amazon doesn't have this yet but I have just recieved my copy from another website.Like the other viewer said unfortuanly the sound quality is bad on the best of collection.I even heard somebody coughing on one track and there is some tape hiss from the transfer.I would like to recommend a 2 cd set by John Fox going under the name of the starry night orchestra that is put out by yestermusic(good music group)and has 30 tracks by Mr.Fox.Every song has a heavy string contingment and it states that these were played on beautiful music stations.John Foxes Strings are so beautiful.
    The John Fox I'm talking about isn't the same John Fox that is a commedian that is sold on this site.

    1 out of 5 stars The Best of the Mantovani Orchestra (vol 1 & 2).......2002-09-14

    The Madacy Label has betrayed Mantovani's genious, and substituted poor recordings in these 2 CD's. I have immediately
    cancelled all Madacy Label orders with everyone, and will investigate all future items with a Canadian origin prior to purchase.

    1 out of 5 stars Poor Recording.......2002-09-05

    The quality of the recording is poor. You can hear flutter in the string passages, which is 90% of Mantovani's music! There is also hiss noise, and pops in piece transitions... Amateur transcription from tape to CD's, is my guess. Someone else made bad reviews regarding the poor recording on the same record label, so my suggestion is to stay away from the label Madacy Records.

    4 out of 5 stars Top of the "Beautiful Music" Heap.......2001-02-19

    This CD has a nice collection of Mantovani's work. The combination of older standards with "newer" (such as Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life")is great. This is the stuff that is usually mocked as "elevator music" but also considered by many good romancing background music. Many of these arrangements were heard on a local Beautiful Music FM station where I live before the format change. The only negative I have is for a "box set" there is no write-up on the Orchestra. It would have been nice to read about Mantovani and what inspired his arrangements, and the orchestra personnell. My copy was made in Canada by Madacy. Maybe someone who has contact with that company could recommend a booklet for any future copies made.

    I'm a HUGE Mantovani fan and have had mixed results trying to upgrade my collection to CDs. This collection is the original orchestra arrangements of all the classics. This is the one to buy.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Collection of Favorites!!!.......2003-07-02

    The Mantovanti Orchestra shows off their "marvelous versatility" in this "wonderful" collection of "8 CDs", with titles that tell you "just what to expect", such as: "The Love Songs", "Memorable Classics", "Itallian Favorites", "On Broadway", etc. You can set the MOOD for practically ANY occassion! There are even some "popular" selections that we all know and treasure like: "Moon River", "Over the Rainbow" and "Autum Leaves"!
    You will NOT want to remove these GREAT CDs from your CD Player, once you have listened to them! They make "nice" background music for small get-togethers or "lovely" background music for those "ROMANTIC DINNERS", for you and your "SPECIAL SOMEONE"!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SET!!! It is a GREAT DEAL for the money, even at the full price!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Andre's Musical Party!.......2004-03-23

    Andre Rieu gives listeners a Musical Party with this Gala Evening, recorded Live. This is my favorite, although with Andre you cannot go wrong.

    Happy, Joyful, Fun. Get ready to clap, sing & dance.

    Live in Dublin has better sound, but it comes in a close second to this double CD set.

    I have them all. This is my favorite.

    5 out of 5 stars The best from Holland.......2002-12-29

    This is probable the best CD made by Andre Rieu together with Fiesta.
    Should be absolutely loved by Dutch people as it has quite a few typically Dutch songs perfectly executed Live.
    It will make you sing along...even if you cannot keep a tune.

    Fantastic Andre and Thanks a lot.

    4 out of 5 stars Music for festivity !.......1999-11-30

    This CD was recordered live. IT's a perfect cd for the "new year" although the sound is not perfect. But it's andré Rieu and we can always appreciate his music. If you like the Johann Strauss orchestra, you'll like the Maastricht Salon orchestra. In fact,some musicians who play in Johann Strauss, play in the Maastricht Salon orchestra. You will hear populars songs like "Old friend", "Stars and stips" "Amazing grace" and the theme song from "Popeye" etc... IT,s different from the other concert of André but it's beautiful. If you are a fan of André Rieu, you must have it.

    5 out of 5 stars My wife and I were born in Maastricht now live in Melbourne.......1999-03-21

    This concert is performed on "ashwednesday" after the carnival that is celebrated in that part of the Netherlands,they call that province Limburg, the people speak a certain dialect,part German, French, and Maastricht is one of the most beautifull cities in Western Europe,the reason for having "Euro"decision made in "the treaty of Maastricht" a few years ago.When we listen to this music,we shed a tear.

    1 out of 5 stars Excellent music however recording engineer ruined the cd.......1999-01-06

    Recording engineer Conny Peters has done it again. What could have been an excellect CD was turned into a less than satisfactory one. André's violin sounds like a cheap toy. Improper microphone placement, incorrect recording levels are but a few of the problems found with this CD.

    4 out of 5 stars A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

    This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.
