Oscar Peterson And Nelson Riddle - Oscar Peterson And Nelson Riddle flac album

Oscar Peterson and Nelson Riddle is a 1963 album by Oscar Peterson with orchestra arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle. The album was produced by Norman Granz and released on Verve Records. The album was also reissued in 1984 as Oscar Peterson: The Silver Collection with four tracks added that were recorded by his Trio in 1964, "Con Alma", "Maids of Cadiz", "My Heart Stood Still" and "Woody 'n' You", but omitting track two of the recording with Riddle ("Judy").

Though not exclusively subtle and romantic, Riddle and Peterson strike a golden bipartisan compromise in rendering these well-known American popular songs into quietly burning embers of pure delight. It's a predictable mix, but so warm and heartfelt that one has to commend the participants for allowing each other their own personal ideas without selling out. Riddle's contribution was to form a unique group, unfortunately all unattributed, of ten cellos (no violins or violas), five horns, three flutes, a harp, and a percussion section

The album was also reissued in 1984 as Oscar Peterson: The Silver Collection with four tracks added that were recorded by his Trio in 1964, "Con Alma", "Maids of Cadiz", "My Heart Stood Still" and "Woody 'n' You", but omitting track two of the recording with Riddle ("Judy").
