If this album may be considered a trifle controversial, at least it presents both sides of the controversy. It might have borne a pair of subtitles: "Classics for People Who Don't Like Pop Music" or "Pop Music for People Who Don't Like Classics." You get two points of view for the price of one album and we daresay you will relish both. In this package two enormously talented people: Caterina Valente, the internationally famous singer, and Werner Muller, the celebrated conductor-arranger have a go at Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Debussy and Rachmaninoff, all great romantic composers with Debussy representing, more strictly, the Impressionist crowd.
