About

Mantovani, the undisputed King of light orchestral music, makes yet another appearance on Vocalion, this time with his 1961 Decca album Songs of Praise. In partnership with his regular arranger, Cecil Milner, Mantovani produces rich, spellbinding orchestral renditions of hymns such as Nearer my God to Thee, The Holy City, Abide with Me and The Lord's My Shepherd among others. Also included is Rock of Ages, which originally only appeared in the American version of the album. For some of the hymns, the Sammes Chorus accompanies Mantovani's orchestra, adding a further to dimension to what is a characteristically gorgeous Mantovani album.
