British orchestra leader Geoff Love made a living for over two decades evoking the sound of the Latin American mountains. The debut album The Music Of The Mountains was where it all began. (UK:17)
“Orchestra leader Geoff Love provided the musical accompaniment to literally scores of artists during the 1950s and 60s but settled on the moniker of Manuel for his 1960 album The Music Of The Mountains. The project was successful enough to prompt several revisits throughout the next two decades.”
“Absolutely beautiful music by an artist of class, that is pleasing to the ear and of the finest quality. Manuel plays with feeling and blends his music with all sorts of instruments bringing out the best in each. He turns his orchestral renditions into a class of their own, giving them his own personal stamp. This is orchestral easy listening music for cultured ears.”
“The music is relaxed and easy to listen to. Very good as background music during dinner or relaxed evenings.” “I first discovered Manuel on TV and found his music to be extremely soothing and full of passion. He has that hidden Spanish influence in his sounds that really draws me in.”
“I've listened to a lot of easy flowing instrumental music. Manuel's arrangement tops them all.”
“Manuel has been heard worldwide for many years on easy listening radio stations. His lush, elegant orchestration will be a welcome addition to your collection.”
"Geoff Love created a string of albums under the disguise of Manuel & The Music Of The Mountains. The music is generally supercharged with orchestra strings, features a mixed choir and weaves prominent guitar accompaniments into the arrangements, to create the notion of a carefree life in the mountains of Latin American countries.
