Mantovani & His Orchestra

ANNUNZIO MANTOVANI, znany dyrygent, kompozytor, aranżer i instrumentalista, kierownik słynnej orkiestry rozrywkowej, Zmarł 28 marca w brytyjskiej miejscowości Tunbridge Wells.Urodził się 15 listopada 1905 w Wenecji w rodzinie muzyków - był synem profesora konserwatorium.

Wybuch I wojny światowej zastał rodzinę Mantovanich, odbywających właśnie tournee wraz z Opera Company, w Wielkiej Brytanii, która odtąd stała się ich nową ojczyzną. Początkowo Mantovani uczył się gry na skrzypcach pod kierunkiem ojca, a następnie odbył studia w Trinity College of Music w Londynie. Od 1923, jako 18-letni chłopak, prowadził własny kwintet (działający przy Midland Hotel w Birmingham).

Dalszymi zespołami w jego karierze były: Orchestra of Hotel Metropole, z którą występował od 1927 przed mikrofonami BBC, oraz utworzona w 1932 Timicia Orchestra. W latach 40-tych kierował orkiestrą teatralną, aż wreszcie, w 1950, sformował zespół, z którym związany był przez prawie 30 lat.

W dorobku płytowym Mantovaniego znalazły się m.in. longplaye: "Romantic Melodies", "Continental Encores", "Mantovani Magic", "From Mantovani With Love", "Charmaine", "Greensleaves", "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes", "It Happened In Monterey", "Mixicali Rose", "La Cumparsita", "Rudolf Friml Suite". Do historii muzyki rozrywkowej przeszedł przede wszystkim jako jeden z czołowych przedstawicieli stylu sweet i wybitny interpretator muzyki tanecznej.
