Franck Pourcel Y Su Gran Orquesta - This Is My Song

Review by Gary Whiting

Franck Pourcel Y Su Gran Orquesta's album This Is My Song is a delightful collection of classic tunes that will transport listeners to a bygone era of music. The orchestra's lush arrangements and Pourcel's deft conducting make each track a joy to listen to.

The album opens with the title track, a lovely rendition of the Charles Chaplin classic. Pourcel's orchestra sets the tone with a gentle melody that swells to a majestic climax. The album then moves on to a series of well-known tunes, including "Strangers in the Night" and "The Shadow of Your Smile."

Throughout the album, Pourcel's arrangements are masterful, balancing the orchestra's various instruments to create a rich, full sound. The album's standout track is undoubtedly "Moon River," which Pourcel imbues with a dreamy, romantic quality that perfectly captures the song's essence.

Summary by Gary Whiting
