German orchestra leader, composer and arranger Werner Muller is back on Vocalion with this outstanding release, which, as well as demonstrating Muller's versatility, serves up two delicious albums of light orchestral music from his vast Teldec discography. Werner Muller auf Grosser Europa-Tournee (1965) sees maestro Muller guide us on a delightful aural journey around Europe, depicting in various well-known melodies cities and towns such as Hamburg, Rome, Naples, Vienna, Paris and Munich. ber Sieben Meere Sailing Along (1965) is a particularly interesting entry in Muller's discography, featuring a charming selection of medleys all connected to seafaring, each with a chorus who sing in German. Famous sea shanties such as What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor, Rolling Home and Good Bye, Fare You Well sit alongside timeless melodies including Kari Waits for Me, Down by the Riverside and Aloha Oe, all of which are given glowing orchestral treatment by Werner Muller.
