German jazz singer Andre Rabini performs twelve beloved standards by Henry Mancini, Hoagy Carmichael, George & Ira Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter and more.

This superbly recorded and engineered album transferred on tape has been copied from the Master and will put you in front of a terrific selection of classic tunes, with some tracks supported by lovely vocals from both male and female singers.

The peculiarity of getting these pieces of music in a stunning quality, and Fritz de With, has succeeded with this master tape a very big hit.

One of the main focuses is the tape. This was mastered from a Studer A800 with 24 tracks on a two-track NAGRA T. The fact that there are no limiting factors in the production chain up to the finished master tape copy can be heard immediately in this production: In the sound image there is a captivating calm and clarity, yes, just a sheer beauty. The tonality is very well balanced, from the deep bass basement all the way up to the treble. There is a delicate melting in all coherence that immediately makes my thoughts fly while listening. In the foreground is the singer André Rabini, accompanied by a selected orchestra. We hear piano, guitar, bass, drums, violins, viola, cello, cornet and tenor saxophone.
