Werner Muller and His Orchestra
Recorded by Deutsche Grammophon / Polydor Series

From the back cover: Just such a man is Werner Muller, one of Europe's most popular conductors-arrangers today. A resident of Berlin, he was introduced to an ever-widening American public through his recordings for Decca's celebrated Musical Holiday series. Now, with several outstanding albums to his credit, he is a favorite here as well as there for orchestral arrangements of popular music featuring a lush, full string section that blends the voices of many violins, violas, cellos and basses.

  1. I found this record today and was looking for the release year. Discogs did not have this info. I noticed yours and it said 1958. That sounds about right. But I noticed you had it as a Polydor release. It looks to be a Decca release as DL 8723. I'm not aware of a Polydor pressing. I could be wrong. Just thought you should know. Thanks

    1. Thanks for pointing this out. I don't remember the circumstances, but possibly the disc was marked Polydor.
