Hopelessly Romantic

About the Artist
The name Perry La Marca is one you may not know...yet. But the chances are good that you’ve heard his work. Perry’s credits include music for Disney, Disneyland, Universal, the America’s Cup, and numerous commercial jingles that have aired extensively on radio and television. Since 1991, Perry has also worked with Ray Conniff, who still enjoys enormous popularity in Latin America; he functions as Mr. Conniff’s recording director, assistant conductor and keyboardist. As a young boy, when Perry was not practicing the piano (which he began at age seven), he was listening to his parents’ Percy Faith, Hugo Montenegro and Ray Conniff albums, carefully studying each arrangement. By the time he was in high school, Perry had mastered the art of arranging and was writing his own charts--his love of beautiful music was obvious in the musical construction, harmony and instrumentation. In college, Perry studied privately under the tutelage of film music maestros John Williams and Bruce Broughton. Perry’s passion for the film music genre is evident when you carefully listen to his arrangements and recordings.

Perry’s talents shine brightest in his life-long love of beautiful music. He has produced three albums of easy listening music in Japan, where there is still an appreciation of instrumental recordings. His CDs are also available in China and receive considerable airplay there.

The recordings on the Parfait Records CD are quite special. Perry originally produced them exclusively for broadcast on easy listening radio stations and they have never before been available for purchase.

Customer Reviews:

Easy listening........2002-04-28

This CD is being promoted as the sound you might remember if you heard 'easy listening' FM radio stations in the past. It is a good example of this because it was recorded in the eighties by Churchill Productions who produced intrumental music for the FM radio market. The sixteen tracks include some strong melodic titles, 'Arthur's theme', 'Ebb tide', 'Can't take my eyes off of you' for instance but I found the electronic and rhythm instruments just too prominent throughout and this spoilt the CD for me.

If you want to capture the sound of the best of 'easy' FM I would recommend listening to 'Stardust' by Robert Mandell conducting the Melachrino Strings. A relaxing sixty-eight minutes of really lush strings with a hardly noticeable rhythm section. There are twenty-one tracks of evergreens including wonderful versions of 'Blue moon', 'Stardust' and 'You are too beautiful'. Mandell's treatment of this last title is superb.

A Great CD.......2002-03-29

"If your a fan of the beautiful music that radio stations once played, then this CD is for you" reads the liner notes, and it couldn't be more true. These are custom recordings (meaning they were recorded exclusively for broadcast on FM radio stations) which have never been available for purchase until now. Parfait Records has located original first generation tapes of sessions recorded in the 80s by Perry La Marca and beautifully remastered them, the result being an audiophile's dream. Even though not all of these songs are personal favorites of mine, they are presented here in excellent arrangements by a master orchestrator in a variety of styles. Some are purely instrumental, some have intermittent vocal refrains, and some feature a full chorus led by the great vocal talents of Ron Hicklin and Sally Stevens. I'm giving this 5 stars because the sound quality is perfect and there are excellent liner notes giving background information about the artist and label. Altogether this is a fine package, and I hope that it will be the first of many from Parfait Records. If you love easy listening/beautiful music, look no further - 57 minutes of the best of it are right here on this disc.
