Allan Taylor - There Was A Time

(SACD-HYBRID) After the overwhelming success of Stockfisch's recording with Chinese singer Song Zuying and the China Philharmonic Orchestra (2016 Grammy nomination) Stockfisch Records again produced a special project including a symphony orchestra: We speak about the 2016 production with the grand seigneur of songwriting: Allan Taylor! The SACD is titled "There Was A Time". Back-story: Allan had played on the Folkest festival every two or three years, usually on the stage in the Piazza Castello of Spilimbergo, a delightful small town near the North Italian city of Udine. The plan arose, that Valter Sivilotti, an Italian composer, arranger and conductor, would make arrangements of a selection of Allan's songs and conduct the orchestra for the concert. This concert took place in July, 2013. When Gnter Pauler of Stockfisch Records heard the demo live-recordings he enthusiastically suggested to produce an SACD: Allan together with a symphony orchestra! Pauler hired the "G"ttinger Symphonie Orchester" with their agile conductor Christoph-Mathias Mueller; Valter Sivilotti and Allan Taylor joined the recordings in G"ttingen, and a very successful session was performed. Contains 52-page hard-back book with full-color images, lyrics, Allan Taylor insights into songs, and more. This Hybrid SACD contains a 'Red Book' Stereo CD Layer which is playable on most conventional CD Players!
