Magic of Mantovani

Joseph Calleja (tenor)

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.
