Richard Hayman - Greatest Love Of All - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Richard Hayman's orchestra is surely the best of the American pops orchestras not associated with one of the major symphony orchestras (such as the Boston or Cincinnati Pops) and he's been making these kinds of recordings for decades. This issue was previously released in the early 1990s. #selections on this recording are Can-Can, Funny Girl, Me and Juliet, Finian's Rainbow, Kiss Me Kate, Flower Drum Song, and Silk Stockings. Three by Cole Porter, two by Richard Rodgers, one each by Jule Styne and Burton Lane. The arrangements are for a string heavy orchestra.

Richard Hayman - Majestic Marches [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/14/1993

The foundations of Hans Pfitzner's Romantic musical idiom can be found in his earliest compositions. Almost all of the songs in this program date from Pfitzner's school and student days, with the young composer tapping into a particularly rich vein of creativity. From rediscovered manuscripts such as the surprisingly assured Ständchen to the earliest settings of his favorite lyric poet, Joseph von Eichendorff, these songs display all of the intimacy and atmosphere that would make Pfitzner a key figure of early 20th-century music. Volumes 1-3 can be heard on 8.572602, 8.572603 and 8.573082.
