DESCRIPTION:
Bert Kaempfert knew exactly which 'hitparade' songs could be 'transformed' into a "Kaempfert classic". When Engelbert Humperdinck scored a major hit with "The Way it used to Be" in 1968, Bert heard right away that this magnificent melody had all the elements it took for a 'new' Kaempfert track. Bert obviously wrote a new orchestral arrangement, where after a "new easy listening classic" was born :) The album "Traces Of Love" - from which the track is taken - breathes quality from beginning to end.
Here we can listen to a Bert Kaempfert 'at his best' - bringing his tunes with an even larger orchestra and with audio technicians (eg Peter Klemt) behind the controls who make use of the newest recording technology available (at the time, ie in 1969).
If ever the term "heavenly music" could be used, it sure is here. Bert Kaempfert created music, that, without any doubt, will please audiences for generations to come.
From the 1969 album "Traces Of Love" here is "Mister Hitmaker" once again bringing you "The Way It Used To Be". Enjoy.
