Originally released in 1984, Mamma is a collection of popular Italian songs, arranged and conducted by Henry Mancini. In his note on the record, Pavarotti exclaimed "I grew up with these songs as did many others of my generation and they now evoke the sound of my childhood." The album is being reissued with newly remastered HD audio for the very first time. These were taken from the pre-master tapes in the Decca vaults and bring a fresh and beautiful perspective to these historic recordings.
