Tonight – FERRANTE & TEICHER****

Tonight features a collection of romantic numbers from the piano duo Ferrante & Teicher, with the title track a US top ten hit single. Purely instrumental records were a lot more popular in the 1960s than in subsequent decades. (US:11)

“The music is wonderful and the pianos are amazing. I could listen to them all day.”

“The paired pianos of Ferrante & Teicher are supplemented by instrumental accompaniment. Bouncy enough to attract your attention but subdued enough to serve as background music.”

“Ferrante and Teicher are masters at turning background music into music that refuses to be ignored.”

“These are more than romantic background music or dinner music. Listen to the tones and melodies which are carefully woven into larger themes. For those of you who are younger but love the sound of piano try listening to these. No blasting jarring big acoustics here to destroy the ambience. Yes they don't write or play them like this anymore.”

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