From Sydney, Australia. yes Jazz Singer, it really is a beautiful album, particularly if you bought the Decca pressed version of the LP as it was Decca's exclusive FFSS (full frequency stereophonic sound) when played on a quality turntable it is almost 3-dimensional sound and you can hear the "wizardry" of Stelvio Cipriani's interesting mix of instruments. I'm 66 yrs old in a few days' time and bought my copy as a 15 yr old high school student I never grow tired of listening to it. He has other collections of instrumentals all from the occasional music created for some really classy movies of the late 1950's, the '60's & the '70's some originally composed by him, the rest by some of his friends who were composers. When quite young he worked as a piano and harpsichord player in the cafes of Paris for French singer Edith Piaf, as did his colleagues that did the same for Edith Piaf, being Francis Lai and Michel Le Grand all three men went on to write some of the most beautiful film scores ever created, moving, audible "liquid silk" in their beauty. All three worked together creating Edith's final backing "band". And all three men have a substantive list of self-composed and performed movie albums, exclusively however, Stelvio had his unique small group of female singers who add the serene choral accompaniment as you can hear in this album, neither of the other two guys ever tried this. Regards
