  Mantovani Biography
Annunzio Paolo Mantovani was born in Venice, Italy in 1905, the son of the principal violinist at La Scala in Milan, then under the conductorship of Arturo Toscanini.
One of his songs, "Cara Mia," was also recorded with Mantovani on piano, unusual in that the piano was not a major instrument in his orchestra and was rarely used.
Mantovani is said to have been so popular with U.S. audiences that during one U.S. tour when he became ill and had to cancel, patrons refused to ask for refunds, choosing to retain tickets for the following year’s tour.

 Mantovani - Music Downloads - Online
At age 14, Mantovani switched from piano to violin; although the latter became his instrument of choice, he would keep up his piano work for the sake of composing.
Mantovani and the Tipica Orchestra made highly successful appearances all over England, and recorded for Sterno, Regal Zonophone, and Columbia from 1932-1936; two of those records, "Red Sails in the Sunset" and "Serenade to the Night," were hits in the U.S. in 1935 and 1936, respectively.
As the '60s wore on, Mantovani's brand of pleasant, light orchestral music increasingly diverged from mainstream tastes in pop, and his chart placings slipped lower and lower (his last entry was 1972's Annunzio Paolo Mantovani).

 Mantovani & his Orchestra
Mantovani repertoire did feature original compositions, but was built chiefly on lush adaptations of familiar melodies: TV and movie themes, show tunes, pop hits (chiefly of the MOR variety), classical material, and the like.
Mantovani applied himself to the study of the violin with total concentration and thoroughness, qualities that would serve well the demands of the disciplined artistic life he would be leading later as a successful maestro.
Mantovani immediately made it his signature melody and, later, when he recorded it, the disc sold over one million copies...in days when such a figure was unheard of.

 Mantovani - Ferrante d'Este
As Mantovani wryly notes, there was precious little honour or satisfaction to be had for any of the parties involved.
Mantovani documents this sad tale with great thoroughness, even if the very limited role Ferrante's unit played means that he often disappears from the story of the campaign for lengthy periods.
Judging by the list of members Mantovani publishes in his annexes, this was drawn mainly from the Modenese part of the Este state and from the territories recently taken by Venice from the Este.

 Luiz Mantovani, guitarist
Luiz Mantovani at the guitar reflects a character that is straight, serene, solid, opposed to the absurd.
In a time of slogans, when the musical interpretation sounds unidimensional, like a poorly-developed photograph, it is refreshing to hear an artist who is concerned with the nuance, the art of transition, with the continuity of the musical gesture.
At a more mundane level, Mantovani possesses an unfailing technique, his tone is at once flexible and powerful, and his sense of formal coherence is highly developed.
