This one is funny.
Wonderfully cute. Not just for cat people.
A waltz and a masterpiece. Breathtaking! The opening string riff before the brass comes in is taken from Brahms.
This was the #1 single of 1952.
A beautiful impression of the inscrutable Orient.
A beautiful and calming tune. Leroy was reaching the peak of his form, and it was becoming obvious that the Fifties would be his decade.
They march out of the mist quietly, appear, and then disappear just as quietly. A personal favorite of mine. Its hard to get that tune out of your head.
Leroy hadnt done a piece based on pizzicato strings for a long time. This was one of his most popular tunes, thanks to the fact that CBS radio used it as the theme for Ive Got a Secret. When the show moved to TV, the theme came along for a ride that lasted 21 years.
Even Rumanians like Anderson. Quite a waltz!
