Music reviews of Dino! Italian Love Songs
Music Review: A golden nugget shinging brightly!!! BRAVO, DINO !!!
Rating: 4 Stars
Dean Martin could sell a song without even trying--his voice was THAT good. This album gives us Dino in his prime; his voice is rich, energetic and full of masculine warmth. This CD proves it.
The CD track set begins with "Just Say I Love Her (Dicitencello Vuie);" this beautiful love ballad gets the royal treatment from Dean Martin. He sings this to perfection with great sensitivity; what a wonderful way to start off the CD!
The classic "Arrivederci, Roma" follows; and Dean performs this without a superfluous note. The musical arrangement is quite lush with good use of the strings; the chorus doesn't quite do it for me but the rest of this ballad is so flawless my concern about the chorus fades into the background.
Other wonderful tracks on this CD include "My Heart Reminds Me" which was recorded by Della Reese in 1957; but Dino breathes so much fresh life into this ballad he truly makes "My Heart Reminds Me" completely his own. The musical arrangement enhances the beauty of this number. Of course, you get Dean's famous rendition of "Non Dimenticar;" Dean's voice and the musical arrangement complement each other completely. There's also the charming "On An Evening In Roma (Sott'er Celo De Roma);" Dean's voice remains strong and sensitive but the musical arrangement should have been played a little more softly to play up Dean's voice. This is a minor disappointment, I suppose.
In addition, you get "There's No Tomorrow (O Sole Mio)" which has been recorded by so many artists. Dean Martin, however, gives us the definitive interpretation of this classic ballad. Excellent!
The CD also gives us a generous four bonus tracks which were not released on the record album back in 1962. "Bella Bella Bambina" has an infectiously catchy and upbeat melody that makes you want to jump up and dance almost instantaneously; and by the time the CD ends with "Belle From Barcelona (O-O-Le, Mu-Cha-Cha) the Latin twist encourages us to play this CD over and over again.
The liner notes include a replication of the reverse of the record album jacket; and James Ritz contributes a fine essay about Dean and his career.
Unfortunately, I do have one complaint about this album. The music is played too loud; they should have played the arrangements softer to do a better job of showcasing Dean Martin's beautiful vocals. I have to take off one star for this to make this a four star review.
Dean Martin fans will consider this fine CD to be a "must-have" for their collections; and people who enjoy classic pop vocals will cherish this CD for years to come. Dean Martin may have recorded these songs in 1961; but these numbers are so enchanting they are truly timeless. I hope that you get this CD and enjoy it as much as I have!
Description of Dino! Italian Love Songs
Dino had already left Capitol for Frank Sinatra?s Reprise label by the time this album came out in February 1962, but it proved to be the most successful album he recorded for Capitol. Why? Simply put, nobody, but nobody, ever did Italian pop songs like Dean Martin. The man had been singing these songs his entire life, and it showed in the warmth, sensuality and immaculate phrasing he brought to every track.Broadway & Vocalists CDs
