NEWNEW RELEASESRELEASES THETHE GOLDENGOLDEN AGEAGE OFOF LIGHTLIGHT MUSICMUSIC

More Strings in Stereo! When record buyers started to embrace the new wonder of towards the end of the 1950s they realised that the added dimension allowed them to hear and appreciate far more of the music than had previously been possible. Conductors and arrangers adapted their styles to take full advantage of this leap in the technology of sound reproduction, as already demonstrated in the recent Guild CD “Strings And Things Go Stereo!” GLCD 5153. In this collection there are further examples of superb performances from the of George Melachrino, Nelson Riddle, Angela Morley, , Percy Faith, Morton Gould, Les Baxter, David Carroll - and even the Symphony playing one of Eric Coates’ most popular melodies.

Light and Lively Although the title of this collection rightly suggests that there is a wealth of ‘Light and Lively’ music on offer, there are some more gentle - even restful - numbers to provide a welcome contrast. The opening track, Robert Farnon’s famous Derby Day, finds the master of in top form, although the competition is tough from the likes of Percy Faith, Helmut Zacharias, Florian ZaBach, Richard Hayman, Frank Chacksfield, Ray Martin, Acquaviva, Frank Cordell, Mishel Piastro, David Rose and Sidney Torch. Among some special gems are the Gérard Calvi instrumental which became a worldwide hit as One of those Songs when lyrics were added; also a marvellous ‘Hollywood-sounding’ tour-de-force from Joe Leahy with his Theme from Studio X.
