Camino Al Amor

The orchestrations are beautiful, and the voice no matter what the language is amazing. Mr. Monro truly was a singers singer.

I do not understand the lyrics, but the arrangements, orchestra and Mr. Monro's voice are wonderful. I knew many of the melodies and songs, so I obviously knew what he was saying, even though he was singing in Spanish. It is my understanding that this was the last album he recorded before he passed away. It was recorded at George Martins Studio in London with a 90 piece Orchestra. Wonderful! G-d Bless his soul. His daughter has a new book out, which no Matt Monro fan should be without. Cheers!

A 90 Piece Orchestra with Matt Monro, is a hit in any language. Here is what Beatles Producer George Martin has to say about Matt Monro in his original dedication of this album: "Back in the late 1950's before I became The Beatle's record producer, I was producing a comedy album with Peter Sellers and needed a singer who sounded like Frank Sinatra. I chose Matt Monro. "Fred Flange" as he was known on the album, created alot of interest, and at the end of 1960 I asked Matt to record under his own name. The result was "Portrait of my love" and within two weeks of release it made the charts and stayed there for many months. This was the first big hit of many for Matt. International acclaim has come Matt's way since that first recording and he remains a natural charming fellow. "A Singer's singer, a musicians singer." A joy to work with, a performer whose reading of a lyric is unsurpassed. Matt has given me as much pleasure in the studio as he has to audiences worldwide." I have an original vinyl of this release (the digital remix from iTunes is much better), and for those of you that care the album credits- It was produced by Leonardo Schultz, and Gary H. Mason with arrangements by Kenny Woodman (Winchester Cathedral), and recorded at George Martins Air London Studio. What a find, what an album!
