Manuel and the Music of the Mountains - Moonglow скачать видео бесплатно

"Let the music of Manuel dazzle and delight you" can be read on the back sleeve of the album from which this track has been selected. And that's exactly what this music does : it dazzles and delights you ! Geoff Love (the man 'behind' the Manuel orchestra) knew exactly how to arrange a song, not only did he make 'the song work for the particular sound of the orchestra' but he also knew how to take full advantage of the possibilities offered by the stereo and mixing technology of those days (end of the sixties). As a result what we get to hear is just heavenly. This version of the 1956 movie theme (aka "Moonglow and theme from Picnic") is so hauntingly beautiful that indeed, if there is music in heaven, it must sound very similar to something like this :) If someone would tell me to select 5 pieces of music to take with me to a lonely island...... this would be one of them :-)

From the 1969 album "Reflections" here are Manuel and His Mountain musicians with their delightful version of "Moonglow". Relax and Enjoy !
