Caravelli was an Italian conductor and arranger whose lush string arrangements defined a particular European easy-listening sensibility, especially through his appearances at the San Remo Music Festival. This SACD reissue combines two classic albums, showcasing his gift for taking Schlager and light pop material and surrounding it with genuinely beautiful orchestral writing. The strings are rich and warm, the arrangements are unpretentious but sophisticated, and the overall mood is one of sophisticated continental elegance. This was music made with real craft and attention to instrumental color. The SACD format brings out the warmth and clarity of these string-focused arrangements beautifully. Perfect for collectors of vintage easy-listening and anyone who appreciates intelligent orchestral accompaniment to memorable melodies.
