Bouquet Of Love was a collection of romantic standards featuring the lush orchestral arrangements and strings of Percy Faith. Whatever happened to popular orchestral music? (US:26)
“Bouquet Of Love is filled with numerous standards and the usual Faith composition. I Only Have Eyes For You as presented here is arguably the greatest instrumental version of this song ever recorded. Filled with heartfelt longing and beauty, it's hard to imagine any other conductor presenting it the way Faith does. Blue Moon is another great arrangement with the violins and violas carrying the main melody and the cellos and bass providing counter melody. Simple yet effective.”
“Lushly orchestrated, with Faith's trademark keening strings, this album epitomizes orchestral easy listening music. The song selection is heavy on the standards, including Rodgers and Hart's Blue Moon and Stella By Starlight."
“This is the supreme Percy Faith collection. It has his trademark written all over it. His inimitable way with strings and his teasingly delicate piano sub-chords.”
“Remember the days when you could turn on the radio and hear beautiful music. Percy Faith was a staple of this sound and his lush string orchestral LPs are a treat for the ears. Here are many familiar romantic standards given the Percy Faith treatment.”
“I'm glad that this music sounds as good today as it did in the past. I just wish that the current orchestras could play their music like this, it would be so heavenly.”
“You will not hear this kind of music very much anymore. It is sad. Many are missing out on some great music.”
“As background music (not elevator muzak) it just feels lush and inviting. If you like a symphonic style that pays tribute to some great old songs this is it.”
