The Moon And The Stars - Harry Arnold

Star Eyes

The Moon And The Stars
Harry Arnold And His Orchestra
Mercury Records 60088
1959

From the back cover: This Harry Arnold session was recorded monophonically and stereophonically by the orchestra in a Stockholm, Sweden, studio. Accent mikes utilized to augment the direct stereo right and left channel or the monaural channel included: Celeste – Neumann U 47; Harp – Newmann KM 54; Drums – B&O Fentone (ribbon); Piano – Neumann U 47; Bass and Guitar – RCA 44 BX; Violins – U 47; Cellos and Violas – Neumann KM 54

From Billboard, August 17, 1959: Delightfully orchestrated and performed mood music, with tunes keyed to stars, moon and the celestial scene. The Arnold group features strings and woodwinds in a slow, languorous beat, similar to that heard on earlier Jackie Gleason albums. Attractive listening, well recorded with the only drawback being the lack of name power in the overly competitive mood field.
