Author: Edward Greenfield
Pavarotti against a glamorized Mancini background will not be to the taste of purists, but who could possibly be a purist in what in effect are Neapolitan songs? cafe songs? The size of the singer's personality, not to mention the quality and scale of his voice, demand larger-than-life treatment. So at the start of Side 2 you get a great Mancini swirl on the strings and Pavarotti enters with a dominance that has you pinned back against your seat. That is in Addio sogni di gloria (''Farewell dreams of glory'') and the following item provides the strongest contrast in Voglio vivere cosi, a jaunty little number in thirties style with those words snapping to a neat dotted rhythm.
There are sixteen songs in all with Bixio, master of the genre, represented not just withMamma, the title number, but also Vivere and Parla mi d'amore, Mariu. Califano's Vieni sul mar, to the tune we know as Two lovely black eyes, is another riproaring number, and in every item Pavarotti's concern for words is as acute as it is in opera, with the clearest possible diction. The flautist, Andrea Griminelli, heard with Pavarotti in his recent Covent Garden gala recital, provides a descant for three of the songs, and four of them come with chorus, sounding at times like a Welsh miners' choir. Mancini contributes his own number, In un palco della scala, ''with apologies to the Pink Panther''.
This may not be a subtle record, but with its joyful use of Pavarotti's glorious and golden tenor tone it compellingly pays tribute all through to the robustness and individuality of the Italian popular song.'
