"WATCH WHAT HAPPENS"
Charito meets Michel Legrand |
| |
available at :
amazon, @TOWER.JP, HMV, 7&Y... |
| |
A rare, history making collaboration with Michel Legrand, Charito's "Watch What Happens", succeeds in capturing the essence of the great maestro's timeless pieces. A mix of strong melodies and provocative arrangements, this album contains interpretations of famous movie themes, "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" "Windmills of Your Mind" and "Summer of '42." Particularly impressive are Charito and Michel's vocal duet numbers Pieces of Dreams and Quaind On S'aime.
Recorded in such an intimate way, this recording confirms Michel's recognition of Charito's vocal stylings.
"A beautiful and spontaneous expression of life" were his exact words of praise. |
