RICHARD CLAYDERMAN meets JAMES LAST – Most Beautiful Songs In The World

While some would view these two guys as Euro cheese-meisters, others would consider them contemporary light music wizards. Clayderman’s piano and the orchestral Friday Night German TV variety show music of Last meet here in a clash of fromage. Across a double album they stamp their identity onto a wide range of unforgettable songs like From A Distance, Sacrifice, Careless Whisper, Wind Beneath My Wings, Candle In The Wind, I Will Always Love You, Streets Of Philadelphia, Pastorale (Symphony No.6), Have I Told You Lately, True Love, When A Man Loves A Woman, Andantino Semplice (piano concerto 1) and a whole bunch more totaling 31 tunes. Light, romantic, passionate and very easy listening, this reminds me of the mid to late 70s when James Last shows had regular slots on SA TV, as did the smiling blonde mug of our boy Richie.
