Cascading Strings

Search: Jamaican Rumba
by: Mantovani & His Orchestra

Release Date February 21, 2005
The soaring and shimmering violins of Mantovani's legendary orchestra featured on this spectacular 99-track collection will send chills up and down your spine. No one knew how to draw out the melodic line of popular tunes better than Mantovani, and the evidence can be heard in each of the 99 featured in this set. These were the first original recordings featuring the large, three dozen string orchestra that launched the unique sound and a musical career of phenomenal proportions. Some in today's world might snicker at the mention of Mantovani's name and the sound that has been called a cascading falls of fiddles. But to a Fifties generation recovering from a traumatic second World War followed by a Cold War prospect of human annihilation, the ... Read More:

Jascha Heifetz - Studio Takes

Search: Jamaican Rumba
by: Salvatore Camarata Orchestra, Victor Young Orchestra

Release Date September 11, 2006
Although most of the tracks here have been released before, the quality of sound here is absolutely fantastic. The quality and depth of Heifetz's playing will probably never be matched. Just listen to Deep River, Old Folks at Home, Clair de lune or any other track, they are all outpourings of a talented man able to apply his ability to a vast array of different genres. No violinist should be without these recordings...Buy now, they are soul wrenchingly beautiful! :-)

British Light Music Classics, Vol 4

Search: Jamaican Rumba
from: Hyperion

Release Date November 04, 2002
Many record companies are currently reporting great success with issues and reissues of British light music dating from the first half of the twentieth century. This Hyperion issue is the fourth in such a series, and it gets a welcome and a recommendation from me.

Here are 17 items altogether, offering 78 minutes of quality light entertainment, and a hint that the bottom of the barrel has not been reached yet by any means. Of course, Eric Coates and Albert Ketèlbey are represented, and there is the highly distinguished “Petite Suite de Concert” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. A favorite of mine, dating from the days of 78s, is the Doge’s March. It also, in more recent years, proved a popular item to include in the ... Read More:
