West Side Story – FERRANTE & TEICHER****

Overture/Maria/Tonight/Somewhere/I Feel Pretty/Camelot/Gigi/Carnival/Three Coins In A Fountain/Fanny/Around The World In Eighty Days

Ferrante & Teicher, with their twin piano sound, specialised in movie and Broadway tunes. The first five tracks are from West Side Story with the remainder successful movie themes from the late 1950s. (US:10)

“Ferrante & Teicher made their reputation with their arrangements of movie music in the early '60s. The duo are best remembered for their twin-piano work. The arrangements spotlight the pianos, but they employ a full orchestra and often a chorus as well.”

“A great classic instrumental recording. I would recommend to any who love the lush instrumentals of the 60s.”

“I have always loved Ferrante and Teicher. Here they are at their best. This is a wonderful collection of beautiful movie melodies.”

“Elegant music. Light the fire, pour the wine, kick back and listen.”

“Anything done by Ferrante & Teicher is marvellous. I love Tonight. Their music is a treat long gone but still appreciated.”
