Percy Faith
Plays Continental Music / Plays Romantic Music

Description

Percy Faith was one of the defining voices of mid-twentieth-century orchestral pop, celebrated for his lush, string-forward arrangements and an unerring gift for romantic atmosphere. This CD pairs two of his classic collections — Plays Continental Music and Plays Romantic Music — bringing together the warmth and sophistication that made Faith a perennial favourite on Columbia Records and a Grammy-winning arranger. The Continental side draws on the melodic richness of European popular song, while the Romantic Music collection showcases his trademark ability to transform familiar themes into deeply expressive orchestral settings. Together they represent a generous and beautifully balanced overview of Faith’s easy listening artistry…
