His Versions of Beatle Tunes from the 1960's Are Now Recognized as Some of the Best Covers of Those Days. This Collection Gives a Fantastic Oversight of a Legacy that Won't Soon Be Forgotten.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Herr Bert's music is wonderful but with Her-bert (Rehbein) it becomes sublime", February 11, 2008

Very good and complete CD, wonderful music, good recording.
Curiosity: look at the authors of the songs and you will find out that when BERT writes with HERBERT he reaches the peaks of delicacy and smoothness.
A good name for this magic soft combination could be "Her(r)Bert" (in german Mr.Bert). If you like this delicatessen buy one of the best CD's ever; HERBERT REHBEIN:"The Complete LP Collection", you will "love" it.

Ciao,
Franco

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Of Bert, December 27, 2005

This is an excellent compilation of Bert Kaempfert music. You'll find all the familiar tunes like 'Wonderland By Night', 'Swingin' Safari' and others not so famous such as 'Mexican Road', 'Catalinia', etc. This double disc sums up the best of the big band music of Kaempfert. Unfortunately he passed away in 1980 with a heart attack but he left us a great legacy of instrumental favourites. Super buy.
