Percy Faith
Malagueña - Music Of Cuba

Description

Percy Faith was one of the most celebrated orchestral arrangers and conductors of the mid-twentieth century, renowned for his sweeping, string-laden sound that brought pop and easy listening to new heights of sophistication. On Malagueña: Music Of Cuba, Faith turns his considerable arranging talents toward the rich melodic and rhythmic traditions of Cuban music, wrapping the material in his characteristically warm, full-orchestra style. The title track — one of the most recognizable pieces in the Latin repertoire — receives a grand, cinematic treatment that perfectly demonstrates Faith’s gift for transforming familiar melodies into lush listening experiences. This CD is an essential document for fans of classic orchestral pop and Latin-influenced easy listening…
