Canadian orchestra leader Percy Faith achieved his seventh and final US top twenty album appearance with Themes For Young Lovers. It showcases his highly melodic arrangements of recent pop hits. (US:12)
"Generously buoyed by tunes from the best known pop hit making teams of the late '50s and early '60s, this selection grooves along with a rhythmic bounce all its own."
"Mr. Faith was a master in violin-based arrangements and he was particularly inspired here on this 60s album."
"What magnificent orchestration and interpretation. It is simply matchless, and the introductory, rousing I Will Follow Him quickly prepares you for what is to come."
"Faith's gifts as an arranger are undeniable, and the melodic strength of some of these songs, particularly Rhythm Of The Rain and the title track, make them surprisingly satisfying in this style."
"What magnificent arrangements and arranger. Faith was among the best of all time. Great music, great musicians, great orchestra."
"Rhythm Of The Rain is another sentimental and highly moving masterpiece from this bygone era."
“When I was younger I had an attitude about this type of music; however, as I get older I appreciate it much more."
“Thanks to The Cascades for the lovely piece Rhythm Of The Rain that we all love. This arrangement by Percy Faith and his orchestra does full justice to it."
