Viva Italia! Festive Italian Classics
Date undefinedAs a lover of Italian music, I bought this CD because it was first on the Amazon.com list when I typed in Italian music, so I figured it would be spectacular. I must admit, I was somewhat disappointed overall. I realize these are old recordings, but they really do sound dated and unimaginative now. In some instances, I wonder how the original recording back in the '50s made it to the charts, it was so poorly done musically. Wish I could have heard some tracks before I spent the money for this. Just my opinion. If you can listen to it beforehand, I encourage you to do so.

Date undefinedAgree with the buyer who found this CD "so so." The songs are simply a compilation of some rather old versions of Italian melodies, with really dated arrangements. Nothing exciting or original here at all. Would definitely not recommend. We were disappointed, as we bought the CD for an Italian wedding, but tossed it....we found another one on Amazon that served us much better and had more original and lively music. If you want a historical compilation of old versions of Italian songs, you may like this, but it doesn't serve today's sophisticated sound tastes at all.

I recently ordered this CD and have enjoyed it. The music is a variety of artists and the songs are good.
I would recommend this CD.
