Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra
Lights Out, Sweet Dreams / Living It Up!

Description

This CD pairs two full Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra albums — Lights Out, Sweet Dreams and Living It Up! — offering a generous helping of the silky, brass-and-strings sound that made Kaempfert one of the most recognizable orchestral pop voices of the 1960s. A towering figure in middle-of-the-road and easy listening music, Kaempfert was also a formidable behind-the-scenes force: he produced the Beatles’ very first professional recordings and penned the standard ‘Strangers in the Night.’ His orchestra’s warm, swaying arrangements and impeccable sense of mood are on full display across both albums, making this CD an ideal introduction or a welcome addition for devoted fans of classic orchestral pop…
