If this album may be considered a trifle controversial, at least it presents both sides of the controversy. It might have borne a pair of subtitles: Classics for People Who Don t Like Pop Music or Pop Music for People Who Don t Like Classics. You get two points of view for the price of one album and we daresay you will relish both.
The rash of setting Tin-Pan-Alley-type words to the melodies of the great classical composers began, for our present purposes, with the Pop arrangement of the opening theme of Tchaikovsky s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor. Retitled Tonight We Love, it was turned into a million-and-more selling recording by Freddy Martin in the early Forties.
The odd-numbered bands on both sides are devoted to Mr. Müller s tasteful orchestrations which hew close to the composers intentions, with a few contemporary touches added. On the even-numbered bands Miss Valente sings the Pop versions in her own winning way.
A lovely, charming reissue of a 1959 `concept' album. Originally issued by RCA in the United States, the concept is simple - Werner Muller and his orchestra plays a classic, then Caterina sings a lighter `pop' version of the piece. The whole affair is delightful and refreshing and will certainly lift your spirits.
