Every song sounds the same.......2007-04-13

My husband and I buy many Italian CDs so we think we have good judgement after so many purchases. We were somewhat disappointed in this CD. Every song has the same instrumentation and basically sounds the same. We wonder even if the mandolins are "live" or just canned, they sound so tinny and the same each song. This CD could have used more feeling, romance, whatever...possible had there been some sensitive arrangements with solos, etc. Instead, it was the same bunch of mandolin sounds which made for a very boring CD, in our opinion. A few vocals would have helped the monotony, too. Would not recommend.

Traditional Italian music.......2007-03-31

This is a great album of really very traditional Italian music. It is not anglicised but just like you hear when you go to Italian festas.

Italian dinner music.......2007-03-08

Excellent....Perfect! We recently had an Italian themed dinner party and needed just the right instrumental background/mood music. Mandolins from Italy was perfect. We also needed it FAST. Althought shipping was not cheap, we received it on time and made our party a hit.

WELL DONE!

Perfect for a themed party, or just background music!.......2007-02-03

Very cute! Romantic, uplifting, nostalgic background music for an Italian night with friends! Enjoy!

Just like my dad's music.......2007-01-09

I love this music. It takes me back to my childhood when my Dad played the mandolin and my uncle accompanied him on guitar. Some old Italian melodies and some new ones to sing along with. Very nice.

GREAT OLD ITALIAN CLASSICS THAT I REMEMBER LISTENING TO AS A KID WITH MY PARENTS.

Good Music, But Only 20 Minutes.......2004-10-27

Great mandolin playing, but I was shocked at the 20 minute runtime of this album. There are two albums in this set and I feel it would be better if they combined them both into one 40 minute CD. I agree with another reviewer that "Mandolins Of Italy" is a better CD with a runtime of 72 mintues. But at only $5, you may want to get them both and have 1 1/2 hours of music that way.

Typical Italian Mandolin.......2003-03-22

If you're looking for an inexpensive CD of typical Italian mandolin music, this is just what you're looking for. However, I gave it three stars because it was too short and too predictable. If you're only buying one Italian mandolin CD, and if money isn't a major consideration, "Mandolins from Italy" is worth the extra bucks.

a little chianti, my dear?.......2002-07-29

So charming ..... dream that you're dining under the full Napoli moon, or just sharing spaghetti with the one you love out back of Tony's Place.

Listen more than once.......2001-05-20

Although the quality of the recording is certainly not the best, it is forgiveable, and sometimes gives it a "vintage" feel. The mandolin is what makes this recording so enjoyable. It has an Old World feeling to it.

Very Pleasant Surprise.......2005-08-10

My mom was Italian and lately for some reason I have grown increasingly nostalgic and have been searching for typical Italian music. I am glad I found this CD. When I received it I got a very pleasant surprise. The quality of the sound is much better than I would have expected from such an inexpensive CD. This is an instrumental CD, the surprise here is that the instruments played are not only mandolins, but also guitars and percussion instruments, and occasionally it even sounds like there is a piano (Caruso) and even a couple of other instruments in the background - including a tambourine, maybe? The percussion instruments lend a certain soft cadence to each of the selections that just makes you feel like dancing. Very romantic. I am ready to bring out the candles and have several friends over for a night of lasagna, Chianti and mandolins!
