Here are 19 songs, all from the movies, all arranged and conducted by Norman Luboff, A true musical eclectic, Luboff was driven to render every piece with a painstaking exactitude and an arrangement that immediately defined it as a Luboff performance. His choir toured annually from from 1963 until Luboff's death in 1987, and recorded more than 75 albums. This perfectionism is clear on every cut of every Luboff album, of which four, from 1961-65, are represented here. 'All the Things You Are,' 'It Had to Be You,' 'As Time Goes By' (which Sam played again in 'Casablanca,' but actually was from the 1931 musical 'Everybody's Welcome'), the title tunes from 'My Foolish Heart,' 'Days of Wine and Roses,' 'High Noon,' 'On Green Dolphin Street,' 'An Affair to Remember,' 'Ruby' (from 'Ruby Gentry') and 'Laura,' the lovely 'Unchained Melody,' 'I'll Get By,' 'The Song from Moulin Rouge' ('Where is Your Heart'), and Irving Berlin's wonderful 'Remember.' Luboff is an American master, and his choir is one of the most powerful vocal groups of all time. Sure, all songs are gently accompanied, but the focus is on the smooth-as-maple syrup harmonies. These songs unabashedly tug at our heartstrings and push every romantic and sentimental button, and all we can say is, 'highly recommended!' |
