Two classic easy-listening albums by Paul Mauriat and His Orchestra, originally released in 1984 and 1990 on the Philips label, together on one CD and remastered from the original analogue stereo tapes for Vocalion's trademark crystal-clear sound. French composer/conductor Paul Mauriat is a classically trained musician who decided to pursue a career in popular music. His first major success came in 1962, as a co-writer of the European hit "Chariot." In 1963, the song was given English lyrics, renamed "I Will Follow Him," and became a number one American hit for Little Peggy March. Mauriat is best remembered for his 1968 worldwide smash "Love Is Blue."
Imagine a large, light summer cottage by the Pacific Ocean with a view of dunes and the pulsing sound of waves in the distance. The Sun is setting and peace descends. Light and elegant tunes emanate from the large, black grand piano in the middle of the room. The tones are soft, soothing with room for meditation. They are dreamy and full of clarity and melodic beauty. This is a lovely invitation to turn your attention inward and be at peace with yourself.
