Henry Arland – Die schönsten Liebeslieder

Product Description

Love songs provide the connecting thread in Henry Arland's Die schönsten Liebeslieder. Its twelve-track programme places German favourites such as Aber Dich Gibts Nur Einmal Für Mich and Du Bist Mein Erster Gedanke alongside songs familiar to English-speaking listeners. The emphasis is on instrumental versions, allowing the melodies to carry the programme without presenting the collection as a vocal recital.

Crying In the Chapel, Feelings and Unchained Melody give the selection several recognisable points of entry. Release Me and Are You Lonesome Tonight bring another strand of popular-song repertoire, while Rote Rosen and the closing Goodbye My Love Goodbye keep the theme of affection and remembrance in view. These choices make the album interesting as a small anthology of romantic standards rather than a compilation devoted to a single songwriter.

NiceDancing lists the collection under Standard music. Individual dance assignments and numerical tempos are not supplied, so dancers choosing music for a particular routine can use the repertoire and playing times as a starting point and assess the recordings for their own requirements. Listeners who enjoy popular-song instrumentals can explore German favourites and international love songs within the same compact programme.
