Description:
Collectables has brought together the original Percy Faith albums featuring the strings only, Percy's favorite part of the orchestra. "Bouquet" won a gold record award; quite an achievement for a "mood music" album at that time, 1959. "Bouquet Of Love" from 1962 is the sequel, and this time, the orchestra has moved including engineer Harold Chapman from New York to Los Angeles. Bill Halvorsen Includes liner notes by Mark Marymont. Lushly orchestrated, with Faith's trademark keening strings, these two albums epitomize orchestral easy listening music. The song selection is heavy on the standards, including Johnny Mercer's "Laura," "The Song from Moulin Rouge," "Ebb Tide," Rodgers and Hart's "Blue Moon" and "Stella By Starlight." |
