"When I was in high school many moons ago I remember I went to the music

store to buy, Schubert's Seranade. By mistake I picked up Sigmund Romberg's

Seranade. I had just discovered some of the most beautiful music ever

recorded. On this recording with Carmen Dragon and The Hollywood Bowl

Pops Orchestra you will you will find music that makes you feel as if you

had died and gone to heaven. Included are: Selections from "The Student

Prince"(Seranade, Drinking Song, Deep in my Heart, Dear); From "The Desert

Song", The Riff Song, One Alone and The Desert Song (does anyone remember

the actor, Dennis Morgan who had a beautiful voice, singing this one);

From "Up in Central Park, Close as page in a book and from "the New Moon",

Softly as a Morning Sunrise, Lover Come back and Stouthearted Men. I wonder

if we will ever have such lovely music pass our way again but we are fortunate

to still be able to relive them again on CD."
