Customer Reviews

A VOICE FROM THE HEAVENS WITH MUSIC THAT FLOWS LIKE WINE!
The clarity of the music and voice from Ms. Francis in the Italian Collection volumes 1 and 2 is exceptional. When the singing started it transported me to Rome, Florence, Venice and Sorrento faster than the Concorde. The breath of her selections covers all of the favorites as well as some lesser known. She translates to English many of the songs making it easier to understand. The music and singing are both luscious and like a good Chianti they won't let you down. I found these albums to be exceptional and they will be enjoyed by all who listen to them even if you are not of the Italian persuasion. An extra technical effort was put into these albums to make them so wonderful. Thank you Connie Francis for a real musical treat. ENJOY-ENJOY-ENJOY!

WOW - What an Incredible Collection !!!!!
This CD is a great collection of Italian music by a truely gifted performer. Connie's version of "Il Cielo In Una Stanza" is incredibly beautiful and haunting. "Canta Ragazzina" is a very thought provoking song for those who understand Italian and her singing is captivating. As is always the case when Connie Francis sings in Italian, the listener does not have to understand the language. She is one of the few performers in the world that can communicate through the emotion of her singing and that comes across on every song on this CD. It is an outstanding collection of some old Italian classics and some more modern songs sung like no one else can.

A Great Compilation of Connie's Italian recordings (V1 & V2)
This is a masterpiece. Especially great are the recordings taken from Connie's superb MGM album LOVE ITALIAN STYLE. Connie's vocals are strong and exciting and the Neapolitan Medley is an outtake from her live performance, almost always included in her shows. The selections from MORE ITALIAN FAVORITES are vibrant, and there are several selections from her famous initial album ITALIAN FAVORITES. This 2 CD set offers the possibility of possessing the best from all of her Italian albums.
