"I got this album over the past summer, and being a fan of Caravelli for some time, I listened to it and WOW! I loved it immediately! Being somewhat suspicious of my initial take on it, I listened again and again, and have felt the same way every time I listen. Surprising for me is the fact that I can honestly say that EVERY track is simply wonderful! I honestly cannot say that about any other album. If I HAD to select some tracks for honorable mention, it would be difficult, for each one is unique and entertaining. But, I WILL give the thumbs up to two tracks simply stellar! "The Red Arrow Train" with strong strings, building to a wonderful conclusion! And "Music of Love" a combination of strings and brass very rarely unmatched! I am a big fan of James Last orchestra, and own about 1000 albums. Of the lot, this is definitely THE VERY BEST non-James Last recording that I have, simply a dream to listen to, certainly one of my top four albums in this entire collection! The man works wonders with a perfect balance of strings (EXTREMELY important to me), brass (VERY important to me) and rhythm! In "It was Long Ago", listen to the tempo of the melody speed up, I highly, HIGHLY recommend this to the lover of beautiful music, trust me, this one is a "beaut"! It's better than gold!!!"
