The Very Best Of Matt Monro

by: Matt Monro

Release Date February 24, 1992
I bought this CD for only a couple of tracks on it, but having listened to it whilst I was busy doing other things, I was amazed to hear such beautiful songs, sung in such a wonderful voice. I own a couple of Frank Sinatra CDs and I think Matt Munro has a better voice than Frank (Matt's is smoother and holds the notes slightly better and is more pleasant to listen to for a pro-longed period of time, compared to Frank)

Some of the songs are sad-but beautiful, some very Sinatra-a-like, but still nice to listen to if you like this kind of style. Almost all the CD is good.

A pleasant surprise, considering I only wanted a couple of tracks on it!

The Ultimate Matt Monro

by: Matt Monro

Release Date January 31, 2005
This is another amazing collection of the velevety tones of the master. But the best surprize is the release of five new tracks never released to CD before. It's been a long time coming and is aptly fitting for the 20th Anniversary. It's a great easy listening collection of his well known hits and will bring back some wonderful memories to the listener. It's also a treat that some of the oldies have been remastered. Well done EMI. Fantastic

The Collection

by: Matt Monro

Release Date April 19, 2004
Based on the previous review, I bought this cd primarily to hear Matt's version of Yesterday When I was Young. However another song has eclipsed it in my opinion. "Diana" is incredibly beautiful and this song alone is worth the price of this double-cd collection. I also enjoyed the rare songs "Mama Packed A Picnic Tea", "How Do You Do" and "First Of May". I am deducting one star for the redundant songs on this compilation that make it difficult to hear the rare ones. I wish EMI will place all the rare songs together so that we don't have to use the remote so often to skip the familiar ones which are on countless compilations. Why can't EMI UK give us WEDNESDAY's CHILD in STEREO when my Collectables cd from USA can? I also wish the version of "You And Me Against ... Read More:

His voice is among the best of the best, in fact, MATT MONRO IS UNRIVALED. If you are or have been in love, wish to be in love, or loved and lost, there is something meaningful for you in this collection of 54 songs. Matt's voice evokes emotion and is meant to be felt as well as heard, it is warm, passionate and slightly haunting, and he seems to be singing, "to you alone."

From Matt Monro With Love

by: Matt Monro

Release Date February 05, 2007
Matt Monro was a singer who never gave a bad performance on record with this compilation of romantic ballads bringing some prime sides to the fore. WHEN I FALL IN LOVE rates almost as great as Nat's while Matt is way ahead on THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES, AUTUMN LEAVES, THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE, MORE and I'M GLAD THERE IS YOU which vocally shine above many other versions. PORTRAIT OF MY LOVE and SOFTLY AS I LEAVE YOU are forever Matt's own signature love songs but the less-known TILL THEN MY LOVE, ONCE IN EVERY LONG AND LONELY WHILE and BE MY LADY are also smooth vocal gems to be cherished as supreme love songs.They may be off the beaten track but project the essence of Matt's understanding of lyrics, tenderly applied and totally delivered to fit the emotional heartbeat ...

It's a mystery! Why are these tracks 'rare'? Why have I not heard these before? It's a crime!
Chock full of excellent songs, showcasing Matt's superb vocal skills.
If you love Matt - you WILL love this.

Matt at the Movies

by: Matt Monro

Release Date October 15, 2007
I welcome any Matt Monro issue that adds new items to my discography; in this three cd set there are very many overlaps however. What bugged me more is that recording dates and the accompanying orchestras are not mentioned at all; instead we get liner notes that list the movies from which the songs were taken; sometimes with too much artifice: Stranger In Paradise had been around since 1940 (with different words) before it was used in film; the same goes for Stardust, Chattanooga Choo Choo and some others; but the quality of the singing is beyond reproach, and in that it would be a good buy for newcomers to the Monro world, certainly at this price.

Unfamiliar Faces

by: Matt Costa

Release Date January 21, 2008
Following Songs We Sing must have been tough as every song on there is simply brilliant. At first Unfamiliar Faces was a let down, probably because the predecessor was so good, but I've persevered and its been worth it. Its taken a couple of weeks but I now rate this as highly (even if Miss Magnolia is a blatant rip off of In The Summer Time). An amazing talent
