5.0 out of 5 stars "Dreamland", May 7, 2006

Most people who first encountered this CD anticipated another of Ray's "Greatest Hits" collections, and were quite surprised by the selections. As a result, the CD was relatively obscure for some time. However, Ray's intent was to provide an international flavor to the CD's content, and the result is a very sophisticated musical journey into a widely-varied musical "dreamland." This is an wonderfully soothing collection, and the interpretations of such songs as "Greenfields," "More," "Try to Remember," and "The Shadow of Your Smile" are exceptional. Great listening, in the "Conniff Manner!"

From Danke Schoen to Hello Dolly this Ray Conniff collection features some of the great hits of the 1960's! It was first released in 1967 as an album and as a C.D. a few years ago. I think you will come away impressed with the sound of this compact disc. I also enjoyed the renditions of "More" and "Midnight in Moscow". Another fantastic Ray Conniff C.D.to add to your beautiful music collection!

One of the most popular albums of the master Conniff, this is a collection of wonderful melodies around the world, some of them are from soundtracks, like "More", "I Will Wait For You", "Try to Remember", "Moon River" and "Hello Dolly" (all are great); other songs are traditional tunes of many countries, like "Granada", "Midsumer in Sweden" and "Moscow Nights"; but every song is beautiful performed in Ray's style, with his big orchestra and his wonderful chorus!! This cd is one of his best work.
