Bert Kaempfert
Three O'Clock In The Morning

Description

Bert Kaempfert was one of the most influential figures in postwar easy-listening and light orchestral music — a German bandleader, composer, and arranger whose smooth, polished sound achieved worldwide popularity throughout the 1960s and beyond. This CD, Three O’Clock in the Morning, showcases his gift for transforming beloved standards into warmly orchestrated, effortlessly sophisticated arrangements. Highlights include the dreamy romanticism of ‘A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square’, the nostalgic sweep of ‘(There’ll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover’, and a second version of his own signature composition ‘Danke Schoen’. The full sixteen-track programme makes this a generous and richly satisfying listen for fans of classic orchestral pop…
