Percy Faith
Viva! - The Music Of Mexico / Exotic Strings

Description

Percy Faith was one of the most gifted orchestral arrangers and conductors of the mid-twentieth century, renowned for his ability to transform popular and world music into richly textured, warmly produced recordings. This CD brings together two complementary albums — Viva! The Music Of Mexico, a vibrant celebration of Latin melodic traditions given Faith’s signature lush treatment, and Exotic Strings, a showcase for the silky, enveloping string textures that made his Columbia Records output so enduringly beloved. Together, they illustrate Faith’s remarkable range: colorful and rhythmically alive on one side, intimate and romantic on the other. An ideal introduction for newcomers and a satisfying find for dedicated collectors of classic orchestral easy listening…
