My Concerto For You/The Way To The Stars/Dream Of Olwen/Dusk/The Lonely Melody/The Warsaw Concerto/ Autumn Concerto/Forgotten Dreams/Cornish Rhapsody/Jeannie/Till/La Mer
Here pianist Russ Conway departs from his usual honky-tonk pop style towards a more classical based approach. My Concerto For You still managed to achieve a creditable album chart placing. (UK:5)
“Russ Conway, a cornerstone of the early 60s. Russ belted out so many hits you could lose count. I recall as a child seeing him appear on so many Saturday night TV shows as a guest, and can remember hearing him on the radio, where his distinctive style and personality shone through every time.”
“Russ Conway, used to play a lot of pubby honky-tonk stuff but you see from this he really was a music lover.”
“His Dream Of Olwen is a remarkable version of one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever - spot on. What wonderful orchestration and what beautiful musicianship.”
