Description
Nelson Riddle stands as one of the defining arrangers and conductors of the twentieth century, whose lush orchestrations shaped the sound of an era across Hollywood, television, and the recording studio. This CD collects twelve tracks that showcase the remarkable breadth of his work, from the brooding drama of ‘The Untouchables’ and the cool, jazz-tinged swagger of ‘The Theme From Route 66’ to the sun-drenched romanticism of ‘Lisbon Antigua’. Riddle’s gift for melody and texture is equally evident on the gentle balladry of ‘Younger Than Springtime’ and the breezy charm of ‘Volare (Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu)’. It is an ideal introduction to one of the great orchestral voices in popular music history…
