Documentary about the orchestral leader Annunzio Mantovani. Reaching levels of success that had never been seen before, the Venice-born Mantovani became the first artist to sell more than one million albums and went on to achieve worldwide fame with his critically-acclaimed orchestra.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play. Anunzio Mantovani was the most successful orchestra leader ever, selling 70 million records from the 1950`s to the 1970`s. Known for his unmistakable cascading strings and recordings such as Charmaine, which influenced the stereo revolution, Mantovani enthralled the world with his sublime arrangements. This documentary is the story of the man and his music. Featuring exclusive, and unseen since 1959, footage from the original Mantovani TV show, this brand new documentary tells the story of Monty`s arrival in England from his home city of Venice and his struggle to become one of the most successful easy listening artists ever. Featuring contributions from radio 2 DJs Ken Bruce and Ed Stewart, the Magic of Mantovani orchestra Conductor, Gavin Sutherland, Producer, Franck Leprince and Orchestra Director, Paul Barrett; plus Mantovani`s official biographer Colin Mackenzie; and contributions from guest artists such as Petula Clarke, Edmund Hockridge and , this is the definitive story of Mantovani - The King of Strings!
