Gould,Morton Star Dust Symphony: 40 Standards CD

2009 two CD release. Morton Gould was a child prodigy, playing the piano at the age of four and went on to have a successful career as a multi-talented musician, conductor and composer. Like many of the composers of Morton's time, he was in command of a fantastic orchestra, but what set him apart was his ability to place modern standards into a symphonic context. This collection of 40 standards, including 'St. Louis Blues', 'That Old Black Magic' and 'Over the Rainbow' are touched with a unique freshness from the Gould palette and beautifully illustrate the Goulden magic. This is the ultimate collection and is a must for fans of Morton Gould and the big orchestra sound. Jasmine.
